More than friends?

Ava

T.w. Abuse, yelling and swearing

George's pov
I was annoyed but also relieved that he had contacted them but I didn't know how she would react to them.

"Hey, guys"

"Hey Kristin, hey Phil"

"Hiya mate"

"This is Ava"

"Hi" Ava said and after she buried her head into my shoulder.

"Aww, she's so cute" Kristin.

"Yeah, she is, well from what we know, we found her over on that bench," Sap said as he pointed over to the bench she was sitting on.

"Jeez, why was she there all by herself?" Phil.

"Her mother had left because she didn't accept her and when she saw George and me, she got even more disgusted and the others stopped her and she just left" Sap.

There was an awkward silence until,

"Why were we called?" Kristin questioned.

"Well Sap and I were wondering if you two could look after her?" I asked.

"Oh, well it seems fair with Tommy and Tubbo cause they would have to ask their parents but why not Will?" Asked Kristin

"Well, we thought it would be nice for her to have people that will mainly stay at home and will help her through anything she struggles with and to keep her safe and both a mum and dad" Sap replied

"Oh, ok I guess that does make sense" Phil said

"Hey, Ava" I whispered to her

She lifted her head and hummed.

"These are two of my friends and they are absolutely amazing and I was wondering if you wanted them to look after you?" I continued to whisper

"They, nice and accepting?" She asked me

"Yes, of course, they are" I said and smiled at her

She nodded with a smile on her face "could you put me down, so I can walk to them?"

"Oh, yes of course" I replied and put her down but I was right she had a limp from the bruises on her legs as she walked over to them.

Ava's pov
"Is it ok, to pick you up?" The nice lady asked me

I nodded in response and she gently picked me up and put me on her side.

"It was Ava, right?" The man standing next to us asked me and I nodded

"Well, Ava my name is Kristin and this is my husband Phil," she said.

I waved at him and smiled cause it felt like I had both caring parents.

After I had waved at Phil we all walked over to some benches and sat down and they started talking cause I could tell they were all good friends and probably haven't seen each other in a while or they just talked a lot and I had zoned out which got me into a bad flashback

*flashback*
"It's my birthday!" I shouted as I woke up that Saturday morning knowing I didn't have school or anything on but my birthday party with all my friends.

"JAKE BE QUIET!!" I heard my mother yell from her room.

I've had to be quiet ever since my dad left, my mum says 'he had to go to a different country and he says he loves you' but my question is why didn't he say bye

I walked out of my room and downstairs into the kitchen since it was easy for me to get there since it was a small apartment just for the two of us but we had my aunt visiting and she's really fun
