Klint's POV

Here goes nothing

How hard can it be? Common I can do this. It's just a little kid. Common get your shit together Klint. You're the most feared gang leader. This is nothing compared to things you've done. You can do this. Why the fuck did I give myself a pep talk? That I have no idea. Ughhh I'm going crazy.

God give me the patience to not shoot the kid. I'm gonna get back at Liam for this. I HATE kids and somehow with my luck I'm stuck here with one who I need to supposedly take care of. They are annoying and weak little brats that need everything handed out to them. Let's get this over with so I can send it away to someone.

"Get on the chair" I tell the kid. She nods as a reply taking me by surprise. How the hell didn't she flinch? Even grow men cower hearing my stone cold voice and this girl seems unbothered.

She goes over to one the stools and tries to jump on it but still seems pretty short. She uses both of her hands to lift herself up. She manages to get a knee on the stool and then hoist herself up on the chair.

She didn't ask for help? That's surprising. I'm impressed. If it's a little hard kids ask other's for help don't they? Well i think they do.

I take out a first aid box from the cabinet and place it on the counter. If she cries or screams I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from yelling at her. Who am I kidding she will surely cry and scream. Ughhhhh. *mentally rolls eyes*

I clean the wound up on both of her knees and wrap white bandage on it and surprisingly she just hissed in pain once and before I could think about it my hand started cleaning the wound more gently like it has it's own mind. Why did I care enough to make it better for her? I never do that. What is happening to me? I'm probably tired. Yup just tired probably nothing more.

After I'm done with that I throw the dirty cotton balls in the dustbin and pack up all the other stuff into the box and put it back to it's place.

Flora's POV

Klint cleaned up the knee scrape wound for me and then packed everything and left. Okay rude. What am I supposed to do now? This is not my house so I can't just roaming around. I huff let my shoulders slump.

"Here you go" A voice says from behind me making me jump a little surprised. I turn out to look at a man probably in his 30s or 40s with a kind smile as he handed me my bag.

A small smile makes it way into my face after what seems like forever. "Thank you" I tell the man and take the bag. I hurriedly open the bag and shuffle through all the things searching for one special item. 

I sigh in relief finding what I want and pull it out. It's teal bunny that my dad got me that's wearing a locket. That locket is a shape of a bunny something my mum got me before she died. It opens up and has a picture of her heavily pregnant as Dad kissing the baby bump on one side and the other 'We love you baby girl. We will always and forever' is embroided in my mum's handwriting. I used to never take it off but it got to small for me so I put it on Emerald my bunny. We could get it made big for me but my mum made the locket with her own hands. The chains, the embroidery, the colouring the bunny everything and i don't want to change it by giving someone to make it bigger.

I give Emerald a huge hug as a few tears leave my eyes. It smells like dad as I spray it with his perfume cause his smell always comforts me and makes me feel safe. I miss him so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much. I close my eyes trying to stop more tears to leave my eyes as I remember what he used to tell me every time I told him I missed him.

(Flashback)

"Please don't go dada" I plead looking  up at my dad with puppy dog eyes as my eyes water and my lower lip quivers.

He picks me up and puts me on his hip as I lay my head on his shoulder as I cry. Dad comfortingly rubs circle in my back as he gently rocks me.

"P-please *hiccups* d-don-t-t g-go *hiccups*. I-i-i-ill miss y-you" I choke out. Dad was about to go on a business trip that was gonna last a month and I wasn't happy about that. That's the longest he'll ever be gone.

"I'm not going anywhere princess. I'll always be with you *points at heart* right here" He tells me softly.

"But what if I want to hug you" My innocent 4 year old self chokes out. Dad takes Emerald from my arms then picks up his fav perfume from the dresser and sprays it on Emerald and gives it back to me.

"Till I get back you can hug her" Dad says to me as I bring the bunny tightly to my chest.

(End of Flashback)

I swallow the lump in my throat not wanting to sob as I hold onto Emerald tighter. That's the day from which I started using dad's perfume on her. I bring Emerald wherever I go. I can't go anywhere without her. It's a habit of mine since I was a baby.

A hand was layed on my shoulder causing me to flinch a little. I looked up to see the same man. Oh so he hasn't left.

He gives my shoulder a reassuring squeeze as he holds out his hand. "Blake" He introduces himself as I put my hand on his. "Flora" I reply.

"Common" He says as he lifts me up and puts me down on the floor and guides me to the living room. He signals me to sit on the couch which I do.

"It's more comfortable here. *hands her the tv remote* You can watch the tv if you want" He offers the remote which i put back down on the coffee table and shake my head giving him a polite smile not really in the mood to watch tv or anything in that matter.

I yawn as I curl up in a ball hugging Emerald tightly to my chest. I fall asleep before I can comprehend anything exhausted.
