My Own Happy Ending

Chapter 12

Ignoring the butterflies in my stomach and push off of him and roll my eyes. "We have to actually do work."

I brush of the food I can but only get a few parts off. Samuel stands up and looks down at himself and then me. He waves me over and says, "come on u can change into some of my clothes then I can wash yours while we are studying."

Frowning I say, "don't u have a sister or something or a mom that I can borrow clothes from."

His eyes fill with sadness and anger. I want to walk over to him and hug him but I shove my hands in my pockets to keep my hands from reaching out to him.

"No I don't. They are very strict about their clothes." He says forcefully through gritted teeth.

I can tell he's hiding something but not wanting to push him, I want him to tell me because he wants to, I nod.

He takes a deep breath and and runs his hands through his pancake mixed hair. He motions with his hand and says with disdain, "follow me. We'll get you cleaned up."

I follow quietly and we go to his room and he grabs clothes for me and points to the hall and says "there is a bathroom in the hallway change there." Then sits on his bed and puts his face in his hands.

I stroll to the bathroom and examine the clothes he gave me, dress shirt and boxers.

I slide them on after taking off my clothes. I pi look at myself in the mirror and quickly duck my head down. I don't like looking at my in the mirror. I'm ugly. The monstrous thing sitting in the middle of my face is hideous.

I get a wash clothes out of the cabinet and try to get as much food as I can out of my hair.

I walk out of the bathroom and walk to his room and without thinking I open the door. Just as I open the door, Samuel walks out of his bathroom attached to his bed room with a towel hanging low on his hips
