What You Think

Chapter 3

Adrian's POV

After I woke up, I went to check on Faye and found her sound asleep. I hear the padding of little feet behind me and turn around to see a sleepy Sarah, "Hi Sarebear, sleepy still? Mommy is home!", she smiled and rubbed her eyes reaching for me to hold her, I lifted her up and instantly she rested her head on my shoulder. I carried her down stairs and saw Mom cooking breakfast, I kissed her cheek and set Sarah in the living room to watch cartoons. I walked back to mom and she sighed, "Where is the girl?" she asked sadly, I told her what happen over the phone last night, "Upstairs, she's sleeping still", mom nodded and looked in thought. As if on Que, Faye slowly made her way down the stairs holding onto the railing tightly, seeing her struggle I rushed to her and helped her down the remaining stairs into the kitchen. I peeked in the living room and saw Sarah sleeping. When Faye noticed my mom she visually tensed, I rubbed her back softly and whispered It's okay to her. She relaxed some and then my mom spoke up, "Are you okay sweetie?", she nodded, obviously still uncomfortable, "I'm sorry, I came here because your house was closest, I don't mean to be a bother... I should head home anyways.", when she said this I looked at her with big eyes and my fists clenched, "Are you serious! You can't go back there!!!", she stepped back and flinched.

I frowned and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell..", my mom didn't say anything for awhile just staring between Faye and I, "Move in with us", Faye gasped softly. I turned to her slightly shocked. Then I smiled and ear to ear grin. Faye still looked shocked and blinked a few times. I looked at her pleadingly, "Please, you're safe here I promise", she nodded which made me hug her. My mom nodded and said it was settled, Faye looked at me, "What about my things?" I scratched my chin and thought hard, "I'll take you to your house", she opened her mouth to say something but closed it again. I smiled and held her hand to comfort her, "Nobody will be there at four, my dad goes indoor golfing and my mom and siblings go to my grandmas", I nodded, "Perfect".

Faye's POV

I grabbed my duffel bag from my closet and began packing clothes into it, Adrian stayed on guard for m family and helped me pack in a suit case as well. As Adrian got most of my clothes and shoes, I got personal possessions like my makeup and stuffed animals, and the shoe box under my bed which had photos in it, and some jewelry. I stuffed my two purses in there and drawing stuff and zipped it up. I grabbed my book bag as well and we left quickly.

When we got back Adrian helped place my stuff on his bed, "We have a guest room, well a storage room" he chuckled, I couldn't help but to admire his laugh. I smiled and nodded, "I can help clean it out", he smiled back and nodded, "It'll be fun."

After we placed lots of boxes and totes into the garage and basement we brought in my things, I smiled and started putting clothes in my dresser and shoes in the closet. This room was bigger then my old one, and gave off a homey feel. Adrian must have caught me glancing around the room, "Do you like it?", hiding my smirk I said, "No", his face dropped and frowned deeply I then said really excited "I LOVE IT!!" I was laughing and squealing. Adrian looked relieved and started laughing, then he pouted, "That was mean!", I giggled and stuck my tongue out.

What am I doing? He's just going to end up like my father.. I frowned, but quickly smiled so he wouldn't notice.
