About five minutes later I saw Tony walking down the street, coming in my direction. "Hey" Tony said making me smile. "What happened to your lip?" Tony asked "there's a cut on it" to my replied. I touched my lip and it hurt and it was sticky with blood. "Walter." I said Tony looked concerned about me. "Do you have your things packed.". Tony asked "yeah, um let me go get my stuff. You don't have to come up if you don't want to."

We both walked quietly upstairs to make sure Walter wouldn't wake. Even though he wakes at noon. As we went into my room I forgot about the silver pieces of heaven that where scattered on my floor. I'm positive Tony saw them but he didn't say anything.

"Mariah," Tony got my attention. Shit he saw them. "Thanks for being my friend, I appreciate it." Tony confessed. "Thank you for being mine" I say to him, then give him a hug.

After we left that hell hole we went straight to Tony's. His house was so nice. He showed me where everything was like the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen etc. "Thanks Tony" I said. Tony let me leave my stuff in his room.

While we were in Tony's room watching movies, being this close to Tony made me feel a little spark. I've never really felt this before.

Of course I was laying right next to him when he fell asleep. I turned over and saw a smile plastered on Tony's face. Soon after I feel asleep, with Tony.

I woke up next to Tony and his arm was wrapped around my waist. I was on the edge of the bed to. Tony was still asleep though. I gently pulled his arm off of me and onto him. I wonder if he saw my blades.

I rested my head on the pillow, Tony shuffled and started to wake up. He turned to face me and just stared. "What" I said smiling like a fool. "Your so pretty" Tony said. I was flabbergasted. "Really, you think I'm pretty" I stuttered. "More than that, your beautiful." I am even more shocked than I was before. "Really, I've never been called beautiful before." I questioned. "Yeah" Tony said looking at me in the eyes which made me blush. "Awww thank you"

We where on our way to a little restaurant called THE WAVE.
We ordered fries burgers and ice cream milkshakes. I insisted on paying but Tony wouldn't let me, apparently it's the "gentlemanly thing to do."

We took a walk in the park and hung out there. I really like Tony but I don't know how he feels. Everything stopped. I saw Victor and Mike, I hoped that they didn't notice us.

"So what kinda movies do you like?" Tony questioned. That was a good question because I didn't really have an answer. "All types" I responded. We stayed talking like we've known each other our whole lives. I told him so much about my life, school, Walter and his actions.

Tony told me about his life, how he doesn't really have anyone. How good parents left, how they still take care of him sorta, school, what he does, his emotions, everything.

"If you ever need someone to talk to I'm always here Tony" I said. We were at the park till it got dark out. We made jokes about each other and it was fun. Tony mentioned that he loves turtles, "you know turtle would be a good nickname for you. Tony turtle Perry, sounds good." I said. Tony started laughing, he must really like it. "Haha haha no". Tony said which had me laughing.

It's been two weeks since I've been staying with Tony, he's really nice to me.

We where watching TV on a loveseat? It was something like that. I was sorta getting tired... Okay I was tired. I fell asleep, I'm not sure for how long but it was some time. When I woke up Tony was sleeping with his head on my laps. I didn't mind though, so I just went back to sleep.

I woke up and instead Tony's arm was wrapped around my back, as if he was hugging me. It was nice to know someone was hugging you, Or I could pretend that someone was hugging me. I always wanted to know how good it felt to be given a meaningful hug. Tony's grip soon got tighter as he moved not wanting to wake up. My heart started beating faster, I didn't know this emotion, I'm not sure if I was nervous or what.

I feel really comfortable around Tony. Maybe I like him, more than a friend maybe? I don't know.
Tony started walking up and when he did he just laid on my laps for a while, staring at me. I decided not to ask why because I didn't want things to be awkward or anything.

"Are you hungry?" Tony asks, "A little" I said shrugging my shoulders. Tony got up and grabbed my arm and took me with him....
