[Max]
I turn around and see Adam holding onto a towel, stood in the doorway of the bathroom, a look of shock on his face.
He rushes over to me and I cover my face with my hands, feeling him staring at my body. I feel him removing my arms from near my face and he looks at them.
"Ohm! Heat up a pizza for us for when Max has finished in the shower please!" Adam yells to his friends. He lets go of my arm and takes another look at my slightly bruised and bony body.
"How? Why? What?" He asks in confusion.
"I had to sleep on a shit ton of stones under a tree when I was kicked out of my house. I had no food. I...I have horrible nightmares and suffer from depression..." I explain and start to tear up at the thoughts of my last nightmare. Adam realises and pulls me in for a gentle hug. I rest my head on his shoulder and the tears escape from my eyes as I start to cry.
"Shhh don't cry Max...I'll be back in a second, I'm just going to get you something to wear and I'll be back" Adam whispered and let go. He left the room and I instantly felt alone. I go to turn the shower on and he walks back in, passes me the clothes and says he will be waiting in the front room for me. I nod and he leaves again. I quickly strip of my clothes and climb into the shower.

After drying and changing I left the bathroom and went to the room where everyone was waiting.
As I entered the room a strong smell of pizza drifted towards me and I smiled before sitting next to the short man.
"Thank you..." I smiled to everyone. We spent the rest of the night sharing a pizza and talking about ourselves.
That night Adam had told me I could have his room and he would sleep on the couch but I refused. We eventually settled on sharing the bed. We both lay down and I fell asleep peacefully for the first time in months.
