The Beauty Behind the Damage

Chapter 5

Selena POV

I woke up and looked around. I got a little scared because I couldn't remember what happened the night before. Before I started panicking, everything came back to me.

The two boys taking me in and me going into little space. I really hope they don't hate me because of it. Even though the little boy was one, it doesn't cancel out the possibility of them hating me.

I noticed I never got their name, but remember the boy slept in the bed next to me so I can ask him.

When I went to ask him, I noticed he wasn't there. When I looked over to the door, it was slightly opened. I walked towards it really slowly, not knowing what would happen when I walked out of the door.

As I made it to the hallway, I went down it and, just like the man in the living room, came into view. Once I got closer I heard," now can you tell daddy why you were on time out?"

With a little sniffle, the person replied, " B-because I-I ran away from y-y-you. I sowwy daddy no do it again."

"It's okay, pumpkin, I know. Do you want to go see if Selena is up for me?" The first man asked. "Yes daddy, I go now?" The boy asked. "Yes, pumpkin," the man replied.

Before the boy got to make it out of the living room, I walked in like I heard nothing.

"Hey Lena," the boy said, waving excitedly at me.

"Hi," I said softly, getting a little shy. I walked around the couch and sat in the recliner chair.

"Do you guys have an extra toothbrush I can use?" I quietly asked. "Yes, it's in the top drawer on the left in the bathroom," the older looking guy said.

"And face towels? Are also where is the bathroom?" I asked. "The bathroom is down the hall, second door on the right. And the towels are in the cabinet behind the door in the bathroom," he replied.

"Thank you," I said before making my journey to the room I just came out of so that I could take a shower.

When I got my clothes, I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and washed my face. When I got done, I went to the tub and turned the show on.

As I was taking my clothes off, I noticed how bad the bruises on my body looked. He really did a number on my body when he beat me.

While thinking about that, I just burst out crying. My life these past few years of my life have been horrible. I got in the shower and sat on the floor and cried my eyes out.

I hope no one can hear me.

Earth POV

I wanted something to do, so I went to my room and played with my toys. As I was walking by the bathroom, I heard crying. I don't think it was supposed to be heard because the shower was on.

As much as I wanted to comfort her, I went into my room and waited for her to come out. To occupy myself until then, I kept Mister Bear company.

Who is Mister Bear? You may ask if he's my first Bear daddy when we first met. I've been keeping him in good condition ever since then.

Since the beginning, Mister Bear has been my best friend, and he always takes up for me. He even helps me get out of trouble sometimes. I love him so much.

As me and Mister Bear were trying to figure out what to do, we decided just to go with coloring.

I colored a butterfly because I wanted to make it for my hopefully new friend. I hope when I finish it cheers her up.

Right when I got finished, the door opened. When I looked up, she was walking in with her head down. "Are you okay?" I asked, hoping she would reply. "Nothing, I'm fine," she replied, even though I knew she was lying.

"Hey you can talk to me, I want to say anything," I tried to reason with her. "How can I trust you and I don't know you or the other man's name?" She asked which she had a good point.

"Well, my name is Earth and my daddy's name is Santa. Is that a little better for you?" I asked. She replied to me with a head nod.

"Here, I made something for you," I said, getting really excited.

"I made this for you. I heard you crying, and I wanted to cheer you up." I said, getting really excited. I hope she likes it.

I started getting nervous because she was just staring at it. It was maybe three minutes and out of nowhere; she started crying. I thought I did something, so I tried to make sure she was okay.

"Are you okay? I didn't mean to make you cry," I said about crying myself because I hate seeing people cry. "No, no, I'm okay. You're the first person to do something this nice for me. It just made me really emotional. I'm sorry." She said, whipping her eyes, giggling a little.

"Can I really trust you?" She asked me. I nodded my head and stuck my pinky out. She connected her finger to mine as a promise.

"I ran away from my ex daddy. He cheated on me." She told me and wouldn't say anything else. I had a feeling it was more to it, but I didn't wanna ask.

"I promise I won't tell anyone, not even daddy." I told her and she smiled a big smile.

"Do you wanna color?" I asked her. She replied with a yes. "Do you have a bear picture?" she asked me. I looked through my book and found one for her.

While we were coloring, I heard her stomach growl, so I called daddy and asked if he would make us something to eat. He was ahead of us and had something cooking already, which he said is almost done.

When we finished coloring, daddy called us to come eat. He made a lot of Thai food. I really hope she likes it.

We always eat Thai food. We've never had to make American food but if she doesn't like it I don't think daddy will have a problem making anything for her.

As daddy gave us our food already on a plate, I dug straight in. I looked up and saw Selena eating, too. I guess she likes it too. We all sat in silence and ate our food.

I just realized that most of my mistakes a missing commas and saying replied black a lot.

Anyways I'm going to update as many chapters as my mind let me today.
