As I shove the last piece of fruit into my mouth both of the boys stand up "Come on, let's start our day!" Niki exclaims almost pulling me out of my seat. Papa coughs which halts his actions, "Not before I say goodbye" He grumbles standing from his seat, I watch as he walks towards me and kisses my head "You have a good day полевой цветок (wildflower) you tell me if these dumbasses upset you in any way, ok?"

I nod my head "Yes Papa", he smiles gently before standing up straight and fixing his face so he looks serious "You do not let her out of your sight, if you let another male even breathe near her I will castrate you both! Make sure she eats, and drinks, and don't make her walk around too much, and also-" Papa rambles on before Ally interrupts him, poor Papa, always interrupted by everyone.

"Come on old man, I can take care of her" Ally rolls his eyes, "Yeah and if any male even looks her way I'll scoop his eyes out with a spoon" Niki pipes up now. After convincing Papa that the two boys will take care of me we set off in the car to our destination, Niki was introducing me to different music artists he listens to whilst Ally keeps telling him that his taste in music is shit.

We eventually pull up to a large modern-looking building, the boys get out first and I follow them, both of them stand at my sides as Ally's hand is placed on my lower back guiding me into the building. I'm instantly met with bright lights and what seems like thousands of people, anxiousness creeps up my body, I don't like large crowds, actually, I just don't like people.

Ally seems to notice and tries his best to redirect my thoughts, "Come on, let's go look in some shops", I follow them as they explain the shops to me and what they sell, it seems like there are thousands of stores in this building, one store in certain seems to catch my attention, there are many art supplies in the window. Niki notices and grabs my hand dragging me into the store. Niki looks at things at the front of the store as Ally and I go down each aisle, every time I pause or touch something he picks it up and holds it.

After a few minutes, I stop and turn to him "What are you doing?".

 "Buying you things you want?" He responds more as a question, I shake my head "No, I don't want you spending money on me", He doesn't say anything, he just laughs and nudges me to keep walking. I feel guilty, I don't want them spending money on me, they've already spent too much on the clothes and stuff in my room.

We finally get back to the front of the store as Ally unloads all the items in his arms, I begin chewing on the inside of my bottom lip, I don't like this, now I'll have to owe them... I notice the price on the screen and almost faint, $768.92. Ally goes to pay with a plastic card but I stop him "No, it's too much. Let me put some things back", He rolls his eyes at me "No it's not, just let us take care of you Willow" He sighs, whilst he and I are bickering between each other Niki leans over and pays with his card.
