I just stare at him like an idiot. Why is he here? Why is he helping me? Does he want something in return?
Oh god! I bet he thinks I'll sleep with him if I let him help me. I mean that's what Daimon known for sleeping with all the girls without a second thought.
If that's the case, then I don't need his help.
I wrap the jacket tightly around my shoulders and put my hands through the sleeves. I stand up slowly and look at him in the eye.
He averts his gaze from mine and his cheeks turn pink.
What the...is he blushing? Nah, my mind is playing tricks on me. I'm sure he's just repulsed by my body.
"Thanks for the jacket," I croak out. I clear my throat so I can speak up.
"But I'm going to go now. I have to pick up my little brother." I tell him.
I start walking down the cemented road and start shivering. My whole face aches and his jacket only reaches up to my mid-thigh.
I start getting goosebumps on my legs. "Hey! Wait!" I hear him yell.
I turn around and see his jogging up to me.
"You can't be walking out here with no clothes on. And it's dangerous walking around at this with you looking like that," he says quietly.
What's that suppose to mean? It's dangerous looking the way I do?
"Oh. You mean my face, right?"
Daimon gives me a pained look, but then nods. "Yeah that's also one of the reason. Look I can give you a ride to where your brother is at. If that's okay with you."
I stare at him thinking of what he's up to. As I'm looking at him he again averts his gaze from me and starts putting weight on one leg then the other.
What's up with him? He looks kind of nervous.
He's probably nervous cause he's talking to a freak like me. But he is right I can't be walking around like this in the streets.
"Ok. Thank you," I tell Daimon quietly.
He looks at me and he looks relieved and he smiles a little showing dimples on each cheek.
Wow. He should smile more. He looks really cute with his dimples; somehow childish.
He reaches towards my hand and I flinch away from whimpering.
He looks shocked at my reaction and there's an emotion in his eyes that I don't understand.
We stand there in awkward silence then he clears his throat. "Let's go then my car is just up ahead of us."
I nod and follow slowly.
Once we reach his car he opens the passanger's seat for me. I get in and he closes the door for me. He goes around and gets in the car.
"Ok. So where an I heading to?" Daimon asks.
"Umm...just go straight down this road and turn to your left. He's at the daycare center."
He nods his head.
He starts the car and I lie down on the seat and close my eyes.

I jump at the contact of his arm that I feel on my arm.
I hear myself whimper. "P-please don't t-touch m-me," I cry out.
"Jaime it ok. It's just me Daimon."
Oh thank god! I thought m;y dad came to get me. I stop sobbing because I'm so relieved that's it's not my dad.
