I woke up to the sound of yelling. I forgot where I was until I felt the jacket wrapped around me. I sat up and listened to the yelling. It was a woman and a man. I couldn't make out the voices though. All of the sudden I heard stomping of feet coming towards me. I swung my head around to see the blonde boy again, Dalton,  looking very angry. A lady followed after him. "This is her, this is Theodora." Dalton said with a stern voice. The lady studied me. "Do you know anything about her?" She yelled at Dalton. "No, but I'm not throwing her back out on the streets!" Dalton yelled back.

Then, the lady turned to me. "So, why were you at the bus stop?" She said like a strict teacher. "I, ummm, I ran away from my boyfriend." I trembled, the memories flooding back. "How old are you?" She said still starring into my soul. "I'm 18 years old." I said started to feel nervous. "Well she's the same age as you." She said turning to Dalton. "So, are you going to let her stay or are you going to throw her onto the streets?" Dalton said scratching the back of his head. I sat there speechless. The lady stayed quiet for about 1 minute, looking at me. "She can stay." The lady sighed.

~
Dalton smiled and hugged her. "Yay!!!" He cheered. I sat there still very confused of what happened. "Now I have to go do some more work." The lady said as she pried Dalton's arms off of her. After Dalton let go she left the room. "Morning, Theo!!!" Dalton said as he jumped on the couch. "Who was she?" I asked still confused by the moment. "Oh, she's my manager, sorry about that." He said with his voice getting quiter. "It's fine, I would react the same if i woke up to hear a stranger was my house." I giggled. Dalton smiled at me and then stared back at the floor.

"Ummmm, what did your boyfriend do to make you run away?" He asked still starring at the floor. "He would go drinking, hook up with different girls, and then come home and we would get into  fights and he would threaten to beat me. This time i was so close to being slapped across the face. I just couldn't take it no more." I said as my lip started to tremble. Dalton started rubbing my back and softly spoke. " Well, you're safe here trust me, No of us will hurt you." I turned to him with tears in my eyes. Dalton's face softened and he pulled me in for a hug. While we were hugging he just kept whispering "Nobody's going to hurt you," into my ear.
