My Forever Hope

Chapter 2

I woke up sometime In the middle of the night and forgot where I was until I remembered everything that happened yesterday.  I checked my phone to see what time it was and I realized it was only 4:00 a.m. it was also really cold tonight and I only had my hoodie and my extra clothes I had in my backpack the school was probably closed at this hour so I had to think of something else to keep me warm and the only other thing I could think of was holding my knees up to my chest and keeping warm that way.

I wasn't able to fall back asleep it was too cold and I was hungry and my lip was still kind of hurting (fuck I really need to get some food and get somewhere warm) Then thats when I thought to myself I still have twenty dollars in my pocket that I took from my drawer where my parents wouldn't find it I could go to the coffee shop its always open.

...

I grabbed my backpack and walked to the coffee shop once I got there I ordered a medium Earl Grey Tea and paid for it sitting in the corner of the shop warming up.  I eventually decided to leave around 5:00 a.m. to get back to the school and relax in the front for a little bit and read my grandmothers notes again.  I got back to the school and saw someone car was parked already so I figured they were already in the school so i sat on a bench near the doors and read until I heard someone call my name.

"Y/n?"

I looked up and saw Mr. Hiddleston 

"Oh good morning Mr.Hiddleston"

"Y/n what are you doing here this early"

He walked over and sat next to me and saw I was shivering a bit while holding my tea in my hands

"Oh I um just reading my notes thats all"

"Y/n your shivering how long have you been out here?"

I looked at him and saw he was concerned but I couldn't just lie to him he isn't fooled easy

"all night" I said under a whisper

"Y/n can you say that I didn't hear you"

"All night" I said while tears were slowly streaming down my face 

"What why have you been out here all night it was freezing last night"

"I-I ran away from home ok I couldn't take it anymore"

"Take what anymore Y/n?"

I didn't say anything I just took off my hoodie and underneath had a long sleeve shirt which I rolled up the sleeves showing him all the cute on my wrists and the bruises I have.

"This is only some of it this is why I always wear hoodies or long sleeve shirts"

"Y/n who did this to you"

"My parents caused the bruises but the cuts were me"

He didn't say anything he just hugged me and let me cry into his shoulder

"Y/n I am gonna call the police ok I don't want you going back there"

I just nodded and let him call them.

...

After Mr. Hiddleston called the police they came to the school and asked me questions and had me show them everything my parents did to me and they told me that they are gonna be taking my parents away and I would have to go into foster care that scared me I didn't want to go into foster care

"Officer what if she didn't have to go into foster care?"

"She would need someone to adopt her then because we can't send her back with her parents"

"I'll do it"

I just looked at Mr. Hiddleston with utter shock and he looked back at me with a smile

"Ok we will have someone come to you home and make sure it is safe for her and fit for adoption but for now she can stay at you home until we can get everything ready for the adoption"

"Ok thank you"

"Your welcome"

I walked over to Mr. Hiddleston and hugged him thanking him over and over again

"Shh my dear everything will be alright I promise I will take care of you, you will never be hurt again"

"Thank you so much Mr. Hiddleston"

"Y/n please call me Tom"

"Thank you Tom"

...

After everything was settled me and Tom went into the school and got into his classroom we talked a little while before school started and I had to leave.

Today was different when class started I wasn't stressed or worried about going home or worrying if you were gonna be able to eat or not.  Today was day 2 without food and you were starting to feel sick and excused yourself from the class and ran to the bathroom to throw up.

Luckily you brought your toothbrush and toothpaste in your backpack so you brushed your teeth and walked back to class.

...

You finished all of your classes today except English but you left 7th period early to wait outside of Toms class still feeling sick and your stomach was starting to cramp you held onto your stomach tightly hoping no one would see you.

Your next period started and your stomach was still cramping.  Walking into class you got into your seat and put your head down praying your stomach would stop soon, You felt a hand on your shoulder and it was Tom

"Y/n are you ok"

"No I will tell you after class"

"Ok but please let me know if you need anything ok?"

"Ok Tom I will"

Class started and your stomach slowly started to calm down and you were finally able to look up.  Tom looked worried the entire class period which made you worried with him.

Once class finished and everyone left you stayed at your desk because your stomach started hurting again but it wasn't as bad as before.  Tom walked over to your desk and knelt down putting his hand on your shoulder.

"Y/n what's wrong why aren't you looking up today?"

"It's my stomach I haven't eaten in 2 days and I keep throwing up and now my stomach is cramping"

"Oh my god ok lets go were going home and I'm gonna make you dinner so you can properly eat.

...

Me and Tom got to his house and it was amazing really beautiful but you couldn't focus you were so nauseous so you decided when you got inside to lay on the couch

"Y/n I'm gonna make Y/f/f"

"Ok"

I laid on the couch closing my eyes trying not to focus on my stomach.  After a while I heard Tom walk into the living room and sit plates down

 "Y/n dinner is ready"

"Thank you Tom for everything"

"Your welcome but also when you eat take it slow since you haven't eaten in two days you might get sick"

"Ok I'll take it slow"

I picked up your plate and sat it on my lap, slowly I started eating not rushing every now and then I would look over at Tom smiling.  I finished dinner and for once I finally felt full.

"Do you feel any better?"

"Yes I do thank you Tom also your a really good cook"

"Why thank you eheheh"

"Tom I'm tired can you show me too my room please?"

"Of course"

I followed Tom to my room and told him good night got ready for bed and fell asleep happy for once feeling safe.
