Ana's P.O.V.

It was the middle of the night yet I swear I heard breathing. Oh gosh recently about everything made me think of dad and how awful my life turned out. Ugh I hope they find my physcopathic uncle so I could leave this county! Wait! Back on the subject of someone being in my room! I took a look around my room but there was no one there just some...bag? Ok the bag is moving hold on I don't even remember going up to my room. How'd I even get up here? My thoughts were interupted when I heard a familiar voice husky from sleep.

"Oh so you're awake?" Oh thank goodness it was just Eric.

"Uhm yeah. Just one question?"

"Shoot."

"Uh how did I get to my room, and no offence or anything but why are you sleeping in my room?" I couldn't actually seen his face because, well it was the middle of the night! Though I could tell he was slightly uncomfortable at my question.

"Well you see when you broke down, uh you cried so much you ended up falling asleep in my arms so I carried you up to your room." He was slightly hesitant to answer my second question which raised my curiosity even more. " You see...I wasn't quite sure if you'd be ok by yourself after you broke down so I ran down to my room and grabbed my sleeping bag. So when you'd wake up I could be right here to see if you were truly ok."

It's a good thing it was dark because I could feel my face heat up. No one has actually cared about me before.

"Ana?" Uh oh! I made an unintentional awkward silence! Gah why was I so lame?!

"Uhm yeah?"

"I'm sorry if its personal, but what happed back there earlier? Are you seriously ok?" Eric was too sweet and innocent I didn't want to tell him what heppened because I can't fully accept the fact that I was alone. Yet I didn't want to lie to him either. Then again he carried me all the way up here and slept here because he was worried about me. He had the right to know, right?

"You see Eric... I had a hamster who was my only friend. I had a bad home environment that I grew up in for fifteen years. My parents didn't agree on anything. Well they agreed I was pretty much the worst thing that's happened to them. They fought every night till my dad left to get wasted. So I guess that makes my dad an alcoholic? Anyways one night my mom went out with her friends to go drinking I'd guess. I had to wait till someone came home to tell one of them we were out of food but when my dad came home-" I hadn't realize I'd been crying till Eric reached out and hugged me. Once I'd regained some composure I continued. "When he came home completely drunk he started touching me because mom wasn't there for him. I tried to get away but he killed my hamster, my only friend. So mom came into the house wasted and before my dad could do too much damage to me. With mom there for him to tell at and use as his punching bag, dad left me and took his anger out on mom. But mom ended up..." Eric gave me that 'you-don't-have-to-keep-talking' look but I kept going anyways because it kinda felt good to release all these emotions. "He killed mom and was about to kill me but a police officer came in and saved me but killed dad. So yea it's still kinda new to me. The police are searching for my uncle so they could put me under his care but he isn't that much different from how my dad was so it won't help at all living with him."

"You will never have to go through that again Ana." Eric had a look of remorse on his face as he said this. "I swear on my life I will do everything I can to keep you safe and happy. I will be your best friend to replace your hamster. When you are sick I'll take care of you like parents should. If you're ever sad talk to me and I'll be there for you. Please Ana I'm here so you'll never be alone again, ever."

Eric was all I had now. His loving words touched my broken heart, slowly fixing what has been damaged by my parents. When I hugged Eric back we pretty much say there on my bed with me crying into his shoulder and him soothingly stroking my hair. We soon fell asleep like that. Comforting each other with this newfound friendship that warmed my heart.
