Chapter 3

“Mary! Wake up!” Someone yelled as my bed keep jumping up and down. I slowly open one lazy eye to see Miles at the edge of my bed jumping for joy. Why is it children are so hyper in the morning?

I couldn’t help, but to laugh at his cute little face when I open both eyes. I don’t think I would ever see a child this cute and happy when someone wakes up.

“Morning Miles. It’s quite a surprise you being up so early.” I chuckled. He gave me a confused face before going into fits of giggles.

“Mary! It’s wunch twime! You nweed to wake up!”  Miles giggled as he jumped off my bed. I shot up out of the soft bed as I picked up the alarm clock that was on the side table.

“12:00 pm” I mumbled to myself. Whoa I have never slept this long, I was never aloud to.

“Come on Mary!” Miles yelled before running out of the room. I chuckled at him before throwing the big comforter off me and swung my feet over the side jumping off. It sucks that I’m short.  I yawned and rubbed my eyes as I walked into my bathroom, that I was thankful to have all by myself and took a short shower, just long enough to wake me up. Getting out I grabbed a soft towel and raped it around my body before walking into my room.

                 I screamed as I looked over to my bed seeing Matt sitting there reading one of his poems to him self. The scream must have shocked him because he dropped his poem and shot up from where he was sitting.

“Shit! Mary I’m sorry I didn’t mean too… AHHHHHHH “He screamed as he saw I was only in a towel. He covered his eyes really fast with one hand while he tried finding his poem blindly. I had to back up into the wall hiding myself fear he would try to do something to me.

                He slowly uncovered one of his eyes just enough to look at my face to see that I was crying and the scare on my cheek was uncovered. Yes I know what you are thinking... Why has she not showed them her scare... She will be living with them till she turns 18.  Well guess what I was not ready to show them it… I don’t want petty from them… They shouldn’t have petty for someone who is as worthless as me…

                “Mary, why are you crying? I won’t do anything to you… I promise you… No more harm will come to you anymore…” He spoke softly to me as he backed out of the room.

“I ’ma let you get dress and see you down stairs. Okay?” He asked. I just nodded my head waiting for him to leave. As soon as the door was closed I broke out into tears.   I know I shouldn’t be scared, but I was…. I couldn’t handle anything like that just yet…. How will I ever trust anyone ever again?

I finally pulled myself together just enough to crawl to the bathroom again. I pulled myself up by the counter and looked into the mirror. My cheeks where red and my eyes where puffy… what will I do? How can I over come this? I sighed before pushing away and walking back to my room. I need some stuff to wear… Maybe Rose wouldn’t mind going shopping.

I pulled on a old dress Rose had and put my hair up. I made sure that my hair covered my face before walking to the kitchen. Almost everyone was there sitting around and chatting. I felt out of place and like I was intruding…

“Well look whose awake…” I heard Stephen as smiled coming up to me.  He had paint on his cheek and some splatter on his glasses that I just notice he had.

“ Good after noon Mary, I assume you slept well.” Hunter said before drinking a cup of coffee. I nodded to him.

“ Mwary!!!!!!!! “ Miles yelled as he ran up to me. I giggled at him as I picked him up. It’s amazing how much life he has. I saw Phil from the corner of my eye looking at me with a small smile. He waved when he saw I was looking at him. Just then Matt walked in looking at a book. Gosh is he always having his nose in a book?

“Matt… get your nose out of that book for once! Gosh man! You are a guy stop acting like a prick!” Phil said playfully to Matt. Matt just grunted not caring as he sat down.

“ Hey Rose I was wondering if you would like to go shopping today? I’m kinda in need for some clothes if you don’t mind.” I asked shyly. She smiled at me and clapped her hands.

“ Can I go two!!!!!!!!!!?” Miles asked. I looked down at him and nodded my head. This is hopefully going to go well….
