The Broken Boy (UPDATE)

Chapter 6

I woke up the next morning and saw Kaydens hands pressed to my chest, I blushed and gently placed them back onto him and layed him down on the couch as quiet as I could be. He mumbled something in his sleep and clung to a pillow.

"d-don't-t....l-leave m-me h-here" he groaned in his sleep.

I swiftly went to the kitchen and put the spaghetti in the fridge, along with the Frittata Kayden had made. I heard him groan and I went to the other room and sat on the couch. He opened his eyes a bit, looking at me thrugh his brown lashes before curling up against my chest. I blushed but let him stay there, pushing his hair from his face and holding him close. After about ten minutes, I freaked out, realizing the time. Quietly, I called the school and told them that I caught a stomach bug and that I'd be out for a few days.

"...n" I heard Kayden grunt lowly and I looked down hanging up.

"S-sorry for the noise kleine" I whispered softly.

"I-i'm s-sorry.....I-i s-should h-have left....n-not stayed o-over night....I-i can g-get a job to p-pay you off for a-all the trouble....." he looked at me appologetically.

"W-what?" I tilted my head surprized "Kayden d-don't worry about it... it wasn't much trouble...but I have a question."

"Y-yeah?"he said queitly.

"Where do you live" I looked him in the eyes feeling at I was slowly sucked into them.

"I...m-mym-moms house was evicted....but  I found a way to get in by breaking into the window and opening it from the inside..... I live there for now..... i just hope that the water com.....c-ompany continues t-to ...o....over look o-our house." He said quietly before trying to get up.

"Well... I've done some thinking...a-and I think...i-it is best if you live here...." I didnt let go of him and i looked him in the eyes.

"B-but.... I-i don't w-want to be a b-burden...a-and.... y-you h-have y-your o-own life....i-if they s-shut off t-that w-water I-i can j-just w-wake ....u....u-up early a-and sn-neek i-into the....g-g.....gym d-down t-the s-street" he studdered nervously and got out from my lap.

"...Kayden..... I want you t-to stay here...... l-living alone s-scince 6th g-grade is n-not life for a k-kid" I said calmly.

"B-but...... I-i'll be okay.." kaydens beautiful green eyes saddened and he teared up.

"D-don't cry...i-its fine... I just want you to be safe.....n-no offence b-but you h-haven't grown u-up n-normally..." I cupped his cheek and made him look at me "please...j-just relax."

"W-what d-do you mean" Kayden said in that heart breaking tone of his.

"Kayden..... I just want you to have a better life...can you trust me" I tilted my head.

"Y-yeah.." he said after a pause before hugging me tightly.

"Good..... " I said caringly"lets go get y....your things then...."
