They shut the door. "are you alright?" she asked, moving close to him. "im fine. she doesnt want me there? fine ill just leave." he answered, his voice sounded shaky. "where are you going to go?" he put his head down and told her he didnt know. when she gently lifted his head she saw he had tears streaming down his face. she wiped them away and hugged him. telling him everything was going to be okay. Her mom got home around 3:30. she saw he had a huge bruise under his eye. she gasped. "what happened?!" she asked, going to look at his left eye. "His mom came here. she kicked him out and she slapped him." Alex was holding his hand. "he needs a place to stay." her mom looked at her with reassuring eyes. "he can stay here. either in your room or in the guest room. but if he stays in your room the door has to stay open a little bit." they agreed and thanked her. Then they went to his house and packed all his stuff and put it on the lawn. They took trips bringing it up to her room. When they finished it was 6:00 and dinner was ready. they spent the rest of the night watching movvies and rearranging their room.
