*ALEX'S P.O.V.*
The man walked out, he ran away from me and left me with these strange men. I didn't like it but these men were really, really nice and they took care of me so I felt safe with them, I finished my drink and put it on the table next to me. We just talked about how I lived at home and things like that until I started to get sleepy they decided to put me to bed and soon I drifted off to sleep.
*The Next Morning*
I woke up to screaming and shouting, it was scaring me because people kept stumbling backwards and getting hurt, just as I was about to get out of the bunk something flew over at me and smashed on the floor, the shouting just continued and was getting louder and louder as I walked up to the front part of the bus.
I could see Ben and the man that ran away shouting and pushing each other James and I think it was Sam were hurt on the floor. Cam? was trying to help Sam and it just looked horrible. Slowly I made my way over to James and helped him up off of the floor and up onto the couch, I may have only been five years old, but my mom had always taught me first aid and James had a really nasty cut on his arm and a weird eye. my mom had always said that it needed something frozen on it so I went to the freezer and got some meat out, I also got the green first aid kit from in the bathroom.
It was like a game of dodge ball coming back from the bathroom, I had to skip about through the punches and the falling and it was hard. I didn't want this to be me new life but I just wanted a family so after dodging all of this I finally got back to James giving him the meat and taking out a spray thing and some tissues, "Why do I have some meat Alex?" James asked, I giggled and put it to his eye, "For your funny eye James." He laughed and placed it on his eye as I tried to clean up his arm "Where did you learn to do that kiddo?" He questioned me, I didn't want to say her name so I just stopped and opened my locket and pointed it in his direction. "My mummy taught me because she was always getting hurt. I used to help her clean it." He gave me a sad smile as I put my locket away and wrapped his arm up.
Slowly the screaming had gone down and eventually stopped just as I had finished James' arm, I packed the kit away and got up to put it back in the bathroom when I noticed that the man from last night was staring at me, I didn't know what to say or do so I just ran over to James and cuddled into his side, I didn't want to get hit like he hit Ben.
Slowly he walked over to me and nelt down, he didn't stop staring.
*Danny's P.O.V *
"You look so much lile your mother. Alex is you name, right?" I said to her, she nodded and pulled away from James slightly. I noticed she had some faint marks on the tops of her arms, what happebed to this girl? She's so vulnerable yet so strong, it makes me wonder how she was raised until now, how she coped with all of the shit that her mum was doing until she died.
Alex looked at me with so much hope in her eyes, she looked at me like I was her last hope for a life. Her last hope to stay alive.
It was that moment that I realised that this is who I am going to be. I'm going to be a dad and no one could stop me from being the best damn dad I could possibly be!
