Mark POV
When me and Tommy were up stairs packing his things I found a letter opened and addressed to him.
"Hey Tommy what's this?" I asked holding it up. He turned around with a confused look on his face. He saw the letter and immediately ran up and ripped it out of my hands. And tore it up. Anger and hatred on his face.
"Tommy!" I exclaimed in shock. "Tommy why did you rip it up? You hadn't even opened it."
Tommy looked at me sadly with glassy eyes.
"It's from the police... My mum died, it was an "accident" and they had no evidence to prove it was a murder. It also said my dad was free of any charges of assault and abuse because of lack of evidence."
Tears were slowly dripping down his face. I felt so sorry for him.
"Come here." I said lovingly, pulling him into a hug. He cried once again into my shoulder. This kid had only been alive for a short time and he had such a bad time.
"I-I think my d-dad killed mum... She sent me here so I would be safe away from my father. She never wanted me to sleep outside. Mum always stuck up for me but ended up getting hurt herself. *Hic* She ended up getting away from dad while he was asleep one night and she took me here to a place she thought he would never find me. Put he did. She even reported him for domestic and child abuse. When he was taken into custardy mum wrote me a letter telling me in a months time she would come get me when dad had been put in jail. *hic* B-b-but that n-never happened! I got a letter from mum a few days before she died that it went wrong and dad wasn't behind bars. She wrote it scared for her life. She told me she loved me so many times. I could tell it would be here last. Then a few days later I got this one. I knew dad had-had killed her..." He whimpered into my shoulder. I hated that he was crying. I tried to comfort him as much as I could but he wouldn't stop crying.
"It's all my fault!!!" He screamed raising his head off my shoulder.
This infuriated me and I gently grabbed his face. "Tommy, listen to me. It's not your fault. You didn't ask your dad to abuse you or your mum. You are a child, in no way in hell is this your fault." I gave him a warm smile. "Please, trust me. You didn't do this. This isn't your fault." I said pulling him into another hug. As I did it I felt his breathe hitch, I could tell he was trying not to cry.
"I-I love you." Tommy whispered, hugging me tighter.
"I love you too." I said softly, kissing the boy on the forehead.
"I will always be here to protect and love you." I then got up and helped Tommy up. "Come on let's finish packing your things."

Tommy POV
I feel safe with Mark. He shows he cares for me and makes me happy. He cares about my past. He promised to be here for me and love me. I trust him.

Mark POV
We had finally finished packing Tommy's things and he helped me take them to my car. To be honest it was only a small suitcase and a few boxes.
Note to self: take Tommy clothes shopping... Maybe some toys too. I thought making an imaginary list in my mind. Then I was suddenly ripped out my imagination by Tommy pulling on my sleeve.
I looked down at him "What is it Tommy?"
"What are you thinking about?" He asked, curiosity taking over.
"I can't tell you." I smirked.
"Why not?" He said tilting his head to the side like a puppy, too cute.
"It's a surprise." I said looking towards the front door of the orphanage.
"For me?"
"Of course, who else would it be for?" I laughed putting down the box in my arms and began tickling him. He laughed and fell to the ground and started squirming uncontrollably. After a while of him begging me to stop, I let him go. I sat up panting with a big goofy smile on his face. We both got back up and picked up his things at took them to my car putting them in the boot. I took a quick glance at the little lads face and all I could see was him smile ear to ear.
Is he really this happy to be moving him with me? Even though I am a complete stranger? I thought but then I shrugged it off. To be honest if I was in his shoes I would be just as happy getting out of that dump.
We walked back into the orphanage to sign the last couple bits of paper work. They would be coming to visit in a week or two to see how things were going and if my house was a suitable place for a child. As I signed the last piece of paper the head career spoke up. "That's it all done. Remember there will be a surprise inspection of your home and we will check for any signs of abuse and neglect."
"Okay that's fine. I will keep him safe and happy you can count on it." I said giving her a smile.
"To be honest," she began. "We are lucky you were here today or Tommy could of gotten kidnapped and beaten or worse, so thank you. I can tell you will take care of him." I smiled at that but inside I was terrified of the thought of Tommy ever going back to his father.
"No problem. See you soon. Have a good day." I politely stated as I got up and headed for the door.
"You too." She replied following me to the door. "Goodbye Tommy. Have fun, I will see you soon." She said waving to him.
"Goodbye!" He yelled as he held my hand walking out the door. I was finally going to have that missing piece of my heart filled.

And that was that my good people. Sorry once again for it taking so long. Things have been really shit so  that's why it's taken so long. I'm sorry if you wanted a longer chapter but I will update again soon so see you then
