The foster girl

2

RACHEL

I ran into a familiar park.

I sat on a bench and heard some people talking. I recognised their voices from somewhere.

I tried to think but I couldn't get their names.

"RACHEL?!" Someone shouted my name.

I turned then it clicked.

It's the boys. James, Skip, Beau, Luke and Jai!

They all ran over and before I knew it I was engulfed into a warm hug. I felt safe again.

"OMG where were you?!" Beau asked.

"Umm, my foster mum took me home and wouldn't let me leave and tried to hit me every time I tried to leave" I said then covered my mouth realising what I jut said.

"What?" James said

"Umm, it doesn't matter" I said.

"Well your staying at ours" said Luke they all agreed.

"I can't" i said.

"No choice" they all laughed.

I eventually agreed and we walked to theirs.

"OMG it's beautiful" I said as we walked inside.

"It's not that amazing" James laughed.

"When you've lived in my house for as long as I have you begin to get used to it so this is really different" I said half smiling.

I tensed up all of a sudden remembering I have just ran away from my house and my mum might find me because we didn't live that far away from here.

What if she finds me and hurts me?

Oh god.

"Hey you okay?" Skip asked as all the boys started at me.

"Ohh, umm, yeah I'm umm, okay" I stuttered.

"Okay so your not. What's up you can tell us" Beau said.

"What if I'm not safe here. I could be putting you's all in danger. My mum can do anything. She knows a lot of men that will hurt us all because of me" I cried.

They all looked stunned.

"You are one hundred percent safe here. We will not let anyone hurt you. Ever" Jai said.

"It's not me I'm worried about" I said still crying.

I haven't known these boys long but they are turning out to be my best friends and I can't see them hurt.

"We will be okay" they all said.

I nodded not believing it but what else can I do?

"Are you hungry?" James asked from the kitchen.

"No thanks" I said.

"You sure?" He asked back.

"Yeah" I replied. Because Viki never really gave me much food to eat I didn't have a big appetite. I suppose if I really wanted I would. I'm not going to starve my self.

I started to yawn and reseted my head on James' shoulder. The boys were asleep on the couches and the floor of the living room.

"You tired?" James asked as I yawned again.

"Okay, you can have my bed because the guest room isn't exactly set up as such" he said standing up quietly.

"I can't ta-" I started but James cut me off.

"It's okay! I will just sleep on the floor" he smiled. Every Time I tried to argue he denied it.

Urgh!

I went to the bathroom quickly and shoved on p'j's.

Shit. I forgot my hoodie. I was so quick on packing a bag I forgot stuff like that.

"Umm James?" I asked.

"Yeah?" he questioned.

"I forgot my hoodie can I borrow one please?" I asked politely.

"Yeah sure!" He said grabbing one out.

It was huge and had a picture of the boys on it with ' Janoskians ' written on it.

I remembered what the boys had told me about the Janoskians when we got talking in Costa before the accident.

"Thank you" I smiled kissing his cheek.

I climbed into his bed. "James are you sure you want me to take your bed? I can sleep on the floor" I said.

"I'm not letting you sleep on the floor. Be comfortable and sleep on the bed. Plus this floor isn't bad" he laughed.

I laughed and sunk into his bed. It was so comfortable!

His smell comforted me and I quickly fell asleep.

I woke up a while later crying.

"Rachel are you okay?" James asked from the floor.

"Umm I don't know" I said crying more.

He got up wearing nothing but joggie bottoms revealing his toned body.

He sat down next to me, holding me in his arms.

"Shhhh" he soothed.

"I don't know why I'm crying" I muttered.

"Your in a new house and it's your first night away" he said.

"Yeah" I said softy.

"You okay now?" He smiled.

"Yeah. Thanks James" I smiled. He began to slowly lean in and so did I. Eventually our lips connected.

His soft lips moved in sync with mine.

We eventually parted.

I just blushed and smiled.

"Sorry" I said.

"Don't be. It was my fault" he said.

He then kissed me again.

"Let's get some sleep" he smiled then stood up.

"Wait, James can you just sleep here, hold me please. I kinda need you" I said awkwardly. Idk but he made me feel safe.

"If your sure" he said. He climbed in beside me and wrapped his strong arms around my waist.

It didn't take long before I fell into a deep sleep with his holding onto me.

JAMES

I was surprised when she asked me to sleep beside her but happy because she obviously trusts me.

I feel bad for what's happened to her.

She lives with a foster mom that should love her and cherish her but she doesn't. She treats Rachel like dirt!

After a while I seen her eyes were closed and I whispered 'goodnight beautiful' before I fell asleep too.

|||\\\|||///|||next day|||\\\||||///|||

I woke up before Rachel so I carefully claimed over her without waking her and went down to the kitchen.

Beau had bought us all a caramel frap from Starbucks and I made waffles for everyone. I grabbed mine and Rachel's fraps and waffles and headed back to my room.

I woke Rachel up and gave her the food. She looked at me funny as if it was a joke to start with. "What?" I laughed/questioned.

"Nothing it's just I never used to get treated like this" she smiled happily.

"Well your going to get treated like this a lot more often now" I smiled and she kissed my cheek saying 'thank you'.
