lizzies pov:
i offered my hand and she took it. that surprised me but i'm glad she trusts me. we walk for about 20 minutes to my house but she stopped right outside the front gates. i turned to her and her face was like this 😮.

hollys pov:
this was the biggest most beautiful house i have ever seen! why was this woman welcoming me into it? i know they say to never go into a strangers home but i trusted her. more than ive ever trusted anyone. even jackson! i managed to let out a little 'woahhh' as the woman lets out a little chuckle. 'oh i forgot to mention my name is lizzie what's yours?' this snapped me out of my awe for the house. 'oh um yeah the names holly are you sure you want to bring a random kid off the streets into your home are you gonna like murder me or something?' with her welcoming smile she just said 'i wouldn't have offered if i wasn't sure now would i? also no you have nothing to worry about actually one of my fears is murder so i wouldn't wish it on anyone' i let out a sigh of relief as we walked inside. it was huge inside. this has got to be the most beautiful house i have ever seen. lizzie told me to go take a seat whilst she went and fetched the first aid kid. i sat on the sofa and when i tell you this was the best fucking sofa id ever sat on! omg it was like sitting on a cloud! well not technically because my arse wouldve been soaked by now but we get the point! the woman came over and placed her hand on my shoulder to tell me she had got it and she'll start bandaging them up but when she touched me shoulder i flinched i mean of course i did.

lizzies pov:
i didn't mean to scare her. i feel so bad but then i thought about it. cuts and bruises all over she wasn't scared because of the jumpscare because she practically saw me coming she flinched because she thought i was going to hit her. i let it pass as she can tell me about it if she wants to i'm not gonna force her. 'hey sweetheart i've got the first aid kit um do you feel comfortable showing me where the bruises and cuts are?' her face dropped like she was scared to tell me. 'hey hey it's okay it's okay i just want the bruises to heal and the cuts to not get infected that's all' i said as i sat down next to her. she immediately just started hugging me and crying. i didn't mind this at all it just means she's starting to trust me. i feel really bad for her and start to go off into my own thoughts until she mutters 'they're everywhere just everywhere' she cries even more. 'sweetheart i'm so so sorry how about you go take a shower ease your thoughts a bit or even a bath if you'd like? and we will heal them after' she just nodded and i showed
her where the shower was. as i was getting her some towels and clean clothes i heard her crying telling herself she wasn't enough? who the fuck let her believe she wasn't enough?! i asked her if she still had her clothes on as it had only been around 30 seconds and she said 'yeah' so i entered as i didn't want to just walk in on her. i immediately just went over to her. she was crying in the corner of the room. ' hey hey hey holly listen to me you are more than enough okay don't let anyone tell you otherwise!!' she just cried 'no no i'm not i'm not enough to eat, take a shower i'm not enough to have your here trying to make me feel better i'm not enough to have a roof over my head i'm not enough for anything it would just be better for everyone if i wasn't here anymore' WHAT!? okay no that's enough she is enough for all of those things and way more. she is enough and the world would be an awful place without her! 'hey! listen you are enough your enough for me your enough okay and the world wouldn't be the same without you in it you hear me? don't you dare talk about yourself like that' she just looked up at me surprised. i don't think she's ever had anyone tell her she was enough before. she just sat and cried
for a good 30 minutes until she finally said 'i've been kicked out of my house because i came out as bi and all these cuts and bruises they're from my parents' i was horrified is that really how her parents treated her?! 'listen i fully support and accept you as being bi hunny i don't see how that changes a person love is love you can love who you want to! and your parents well they're going to jail you hear me they should never ever lay a hand on you in the way they did okay?' she just looked up and me and just smiled. i'm gathering she doesn't get to do that very often either.

hollys pov:
does this woman really accept me? does she seriously mean it when she says my parents are going to jail. that almost gave me relief. she has made me feel somewhat good about myself for the first time ever. i get overwhelmed by the love i'm
getting and just say 'you really accept me for being bi?' she just smiled and nodded. ' you should shower now so i can heal your wounds' she said standing up. 'okay thankyou for all of this' she walked out.

~time skip~

lizzies pov:
i had healed all of her wounds but i knew i still had to heal her self harm cuts. i really didn't mind but i didn't want her feeling uncomfortable with it so i asked her 'hey do you want to roll up your sleeve and i can heal them too?' she looked down like she was embarrassed about them? why? there's no need to be embarrassed i thought to myself. 'um yeah sure' she slowly pulled her sleeve up revealing her wrist full of
them. i told her it would sting a bit and quickly bandaged them up. she just looked at me i think she was expecting me to judge her harshly. 'anyways i'm
gonna make dinner you can pick a movie if you want' her face looked horrified. 'i uh ive never really watched tv before can you pick?' this girl had never watched tv before! god i really feel for her. 'oh of course don't worry' i pick jumanji as it's one of my comfort movies.

~time skip~

dinner was ready. i had made spaghetti bolegnaise hoping she likes it i mean who doesn't like bolegnaise?! she came and sat down infront of her plate. 'i love the movie so far! and um this looks delicious but what is it?' she asked. she didn't know what it was? what did she eat at home? 'i'm glad your liking it, also it's spaghetti bolegnaise' i told her. i was halfway through mine when i realised she hadn't eaten any of it instead just swirled her fork around in it. 'hey i can make something else if you don't like it?' 'oh no thanks i'll eat this is looks nice' i noticed she just didn't want to eat. 'okay how about we try a small bite?' i asked while going to sit next to her 'i um well' 'sweetheart it's okay you deserve to eat this food how about you try 3 small bites and we can leave it at that?'

hollys pov:
3 small bites i can do that right? no nope i only ate last night i can't do that. 'i um do i have to?' 'i would much prefer it if you did sweetie i need to know you've ate something' ugh sometimes having someone who cares about you isn't always the best. 'okay um i'll try' i took the 3 small bites knowing what i was going to do right after anyways. 'can i excuse myself to the bathroom' her face. i knew she knew what i was going to do. 'i'm not stupid you know holly you deserve to have a full stomach i'm not letting go and throw it all back up!' 'shit' i apparently said out loud it was only supposed to be in my head. 'shit indeed come on i promise you'll be okay let's go and finish jumanji'
