The secret girl

the friends

i don't know when i dozed off while he was driving, because i woke up when he stopped the truck. i opened my eyes to see a massive house and a driveway with a couple of cars in it. i turned my head to look at my brother, and he had pulled out his phone. he typed something before hitting send. he turned his head to face me, and seeing that i was awake he said, "the nap help any?" "it's been a long time since i've been comfortable enough to sleep like that." I admitted, the truth easy coming. he smiled saying, "hopefully you'll be able to sleep better at night now that you're here." i nodded as he asked, "You ready to go inside?" i breathed deeply before saying, "Yeah. let's do this." he got out the truck before i did and had gotten my bags out of the back seat as i was shutting the passenger door behind me.  Luis walked ahead of me and got to the front door as i stopped in front of the house, looking up at it. "You're going to be okay Hannah." Luis told me as i walked up to him. i simply nodded as he went back to opening the door. as soon as it was opened we were greeted by the sound of people laughing and talking. luis walks in ahead of me and hollers, "yo guys!" he continued through the foyer and ventured further into the house. i walked through the door trying to calm my nerves as i shut the door behind me. i moved slowly through the house following the path that luis had made and the sounds of people talking. i eventually made it into a living room/den area. the couches were full and luis was saying, "Be nice to her you guys. just dont crowd her, shes still in a volatile state." i came more into the room meeting his eyes. he smiled and the people on the couches turned to look at me. i glanced around nervously as they looked at me. "Hi, i'm Hannah-lee, but i go by Hannah. I guess yall know this but I'm Lui- Damien's sister." I said trying to hide how scared i was. The one female, Rhea ripley, got off the couch and took my bags from beside damien saying, "I'll show her to her room, you guys just stay down here and leave her be." she then approached me saying, "Your room is upstairs, with mine, we figured youd be more comfortable away from everyone for a little while." She started walking off, so i followed her. we went up some stairs and i saw three doors, on on the left, one on the right, and one in the middle. Rhea went to the door on the left, and opened it saying, "This is your room, we'll have to share a bathroom, thankfully the guys dont come up here, so it stays pretty clean." we went into the room, and she set my stuff on the bed. "thank you, rhea." She smiled, and my heart did a little pitter patter, as she said, "It's no issue, youve been through enough. You deserve a little kindness in this world." i started tearing up and she came closer, as she reached out to touch me, she asked, "Can i give you a hug?" i nodded and she pulled me into her arms and hugged me tightly. i wrapped my arms around her as i cried. we stayed like that until i stopped crying. as i pulled away she said, "If you ever just need to be held let me know." I looked up at her saying, "i will. Thank you." She smiled once more then left the room shutting the door behind her.
