The Broken Boy (UPDATE)

Chapter 10

MR. SCHMIDT'S POV:

After we ate, i took a shower after Kayden did and I took Kayden to the store to get some clothes, noticing that when he looked through his bag he had clothes from when he was in like seventh grade in only very few clothes he could fit into. He told me that he had tons more at his house, because his mother had like to buy him clothes. It took like an hour to get him to come though. He told me he didn't want to waste my money, but i have enough of it to get him some clothes.My father left me tons of money when he had to leave me and my sister.

He wound up making me go to Goodwill (disclaimer). When we got there I saw there was an electronics isle, while he was off picking out the cheepest clothes he could find I was trying to find something he could actually use. I picked up a used Ipod and slipped it into the cart along with those head phone things that block out all sound. He came up behind me and I turned around placing a shirt over it.

"I-i.....w...want....t-to t-thank y-you f-for b-being s-so nice...." he looked down shyly, holding only one shirt in his hand.

"Y-you don't have to.... there not alot of n-nice p-people l......l-left in the world.... " I tilted my head "you d-do know you c-can get m-more then just a s-shirt.... p-plus I mean l-look at it...... its bright b-blue."

"O-oh" he chuckled looking at the ugly blue color of a collard shirt" y-your....r-right....I-iI wouldn't-t get c-caught d-dead i-in this."

"Don't worry about the p-price..... I-i have a l-large inharitance I-i only used t-to pay off m-my m-mortage" I smiled softly at him and he grinned a bit, pushing up his glasses

"Oh yeah...... c-can you see out of those" I said noticing his glasses looked really small, and that he was squinting.

"Y-yeah..." he looked down and kinda looked away.

"You, Kayden......a-are a terrible...l...lier" I smiled and took out my cell phone, dialing the number to an optomitrist nearby.

"D-don't.....t-that's.....l-like t-two h-hundred d-dollars.....I-i can u-use the m-money my m-mama....l-left me.....I-i o-only u-use it f-for food" he said snatching my phone from my hands, his eyes glassy and almost pained "y-you c-can't d-do that....I-i'll w-wind up taking all your m-money....I-i'm n-not worth it....."

"K-kayden....." I looked at him and cleared my throat "d-don't worry a-about it...... I'll have insurance pay for it..... y-you need glasses..... t-they will help y-you with reading and eventually your grades will elevate.....  Y-you don't get the fact that I have about 700,000 dollars in t-the b-bank I h-haven't t-touched..."

"I-I have 20,000 l-left..... t-that money c-can help me buy s-some clothes and s-stuff..... I-i n-need it t-to l-licve off of....n-no place w-will heir s-some one w-with a s-speech I-impediment...." he looked down and put the shirt in his hand back on the rack "I-i d-didn't w-work f-for the m-money...m....M-mama l-left m-me......a-and I-i s-should h-have..... s-so w-why s-should I t-take y-yours."

"Because I'm o-offering......" I tilted his head slightly so he could look at me and looked into his eyes "....y-you c-can't d-do ....everything by yourself Kayden....."

"D-danke" I felt Kayden hug me and I hugged back, staying quiet as he started to cry into my chest, for like the seventh time in a row.

"Y-you're welcome K-kayden" I replied, gently backing him up and wiping off his tears " lets get some clothes and pick up the rest of your clothes from your house."

"O-okay...." he said quietly " w-we c-can donate t-them here...."

"Alright" I smiled at him and he smiled back.
