I chewed nervously on the side of my cheek watching the houses go by.

"Ms.Venable?" I asked keeping my eyes pointed through the glass. "Yes?" Her tone was flat.

"Why are we going?", there was a short silence in the vehicle. "Isn't it obvious?".

I faced her studying her expression. Nothing.

I fidgeted with my fingers speaking again. "No it's not" there was a playfulness in my voice that she clearly sensed.

She stayed quiet moving her hand off the steering wheel into my lap. She wormed her fingers in mine to keep my nails from picking at my skin.

I accepted the warmth of her palm turning back to the window.

I was calm until we reached the house where my heartbeat picked up. She gave me a reassuring squeeze before letting go to get out.

I did the same searching for my dad's car out front. Not spotting it I stepped forward.

Venable walked first, and gave me a look as she knocked. There was silence for a minute, she lifted her hand to knock a second time.

The door flew open. My father stood barely balancing, his eyes fogged.

"Can we come in please?" I asked knowing his mind wasn't able to comprehend it all.

"No" he lifted the brown bottle in his grasp. I opened my mouth, Venable quickly beating me to it.

"There are items, very expensive items, that belong to me in your house and unless you want me to call the authorities you need to let me come in", her voice had me shut up immediately.

The sunken eyed man moved to the side glaring at her, I followed her in blocking myself from him.

She allowed me to go past her to go to my room. I started filling a bag with my new clothes grabbing whatever else I wanted.

"You can't take her with you, I'll call the police" he chuckled down the steps. I listened to the response.

"She's 18, she can go wherever she pleases" I came through the door frame avoiding the gaze of both the adults.

We made our way outside, my father still watching in the entrance. Just as we got to the sidewalk I felt a yank on my shirt.

"You have to stay here" Venable hadn't noticed his whispers and grip on my me.
"Let go" I spoke with a hushed tone.

His nails sunk deeper in my flesh causing me to squirm. "I'm not going to let you leave", "Ow, you're hurting me".

My voice had grown louder, but before I could react a hard blow made the man tumble over.

It was Venable's cane, "Goodbye Mr.Y/l/n". She grabbed my wrist, tenderly pulling my weight to the car.

Inside of it I stared at my dad, he was still on the ground clutching his abdomen. Her soft touch caused me to take in a deep breath.

"Is your arm alright honey?" I followed her gaze to my forearm where she had pulled up the sleeve. Little red crescents sprinkled across my skin over the wounds already there.

I nodded pulling away from her to recover myself. She leaned into the seat starting the engine.

------------------------------------------------------------

I cried into the pillow underneath me. I didn't have any clue what I'd do without any family.

I had no where to stay after school, no one to keep me under their wing. I imagined Venable would only let me live here for so long before she got tired of it.

Dying would be easier, just end your misery now.

"Shut up" I whispered.

You are a burden on everyone. JUST END IT.

My fist slammed down on the mattress. "Shut the fuck up" I covered my own ears hoping that maybe I'd get rid of the thought.

It took me a few seconds to realize I was repeating the words stop while sobbing. I pulled myself up.

Immediately a pair of hands cupped my face causing me to jump. The dim moonlight revealed Venable shushing me.

"It's okay, calm down" I grabbed her arms gently to feel her. "Did I wake you up?" I asked.

"No no, I heard you when I walked by" she stroked my jaw smiling.

"I'm sorry" I whispered. She read my mind hugging my frame.

It took a few minutes for me to lean away. "I'll pack up my stuff tomorrow after school, and find somewhere else to stay" I tried my best to prevent more tears.

"What?" She sounded pained letting go of me. "I don't want to inconvenience you" her demeanor turned icy. "You're staying here".

"Why, I can't live off of my teacher" I scoffed. "You...I-I" It was as if she didn't know what to say, which was odd.

Suddenly her lips crashed into mine. I gasped in her mouth allowing her fingertips to roam my skin lightly leaving goosebumps.

I melted into the kiss, my thoughts doing the same. Everything seemed to slow down.

She abruptly stopped standing in pure shock at what she had done. I stayed silent brushing where she made contact, I missed it.

For a moment we stared at each other, I could only see her figure from this angle.

Finally she turned, I reached for her to speak. "Goodnight Ms.Venable" I whispered, all my anguish gone.

"Goodnight" she mumbled before exiting as fast as she could.

I smiled to myself. I took in the proud feeling of flustering her.
