Bay has a hard past and thinks no one is trustable and thinks she isnt worth anything. Clay comes along and helps her but then he gets in hardship. Just a back and forth kinda thing.
After about two months my deaf brother had tooken me out of foster home and to his house. "Hi.." He signed to me and said as he walked into my room. "Hi." I say to him while looking at him. "I was thinking.." He looks at me. "If we going to live together and have a good sister and brother relationship.. You need to learn ASL." He says while signing. I look at him. And smile a sweet smile. Sugar. -Okay- I sign to him because thats really the only hand sign i know. I started taking ASL (american sign language) and got really good. Not fluent. But good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~the next day- It was a rainy day. Saturday. Hallelujah! I wake up and get out of bed and hear a ding dong at the door and lights flashing (because my brothers deaf so he knows someone at the door) i run down stairs and ask who it is. "Who is it?!?!" I hear heavy breathing." "Its.... Clay.... Let me in... Please" I open the door and he comes in and plops down on the floor. "Oh my gosh! What the hell happened" I look at his throbbing black eye and bloody lip and bruised arm. "Nothing..." He says breathing heavily. "Clay! Its something!" I say as i try getting him up and to the restroom. "Nothing! I just fell..." He gets up and i grab him by the arm and to the restroom. "Clay, im serious." I say while getting a towel wet and with hydrogen peroxide on it and start patting his eye. "Its nothing, really" He looks at me and i pat his lip getting the blood off. "Okay.." I say giving up trying to get an answer from him. I pat his eye again. "Ouch!" He says pushing the towel away. "Clay! I have to clean it.." I continue patting as he moans in pain. He looks at me and smiles. "Im fine now." I give him an ice pack from the freezer. "Rest this on your eye." He nods his head and puts it up to his eye as i lead him to my room. He plops down on my bed and i sit next to him.

"Thanks. I never got your name.." I look at him. "Its.. Bay." I say looking down at him. He smiles. "Sounds beautiful." I feel my face begin to heat up. "Thanks" I say while smiling. "What really happened" I look at him. He looks at me. "Bay... I-I cant tell you.." I look at him and smile a bit. "You can tell me anything!" He starts to tear up a bit. "I know.. I cant tell you this" He sits up. "Okay.." I look down. He grabs face gently. "Im sorry" He kisses me on the lips for about ten seconds. Then stops. "Its fine. I understand." I say as im almost as red as a strawberry. Its not like i was going to stop him from kissing me i mean he.. Makes it seem like it means something. Maybe it does. Maybe it doesnt. But who knows? Exactly. After that he had spent the night. He refused to go home. God knows why. He slept next to me but in the middle of the night my brother came in and took him out of the room and set him on the couch. Its like when your a kid, one second your in the car and you fell asleep. Then you wake up in your bed. I wake up to notice hes not sleeping next to me. I turn the the other way and see my brother standing by the door with his arms crossed looking at me madly. ____________________________________________ EEK!
