The Devils Angel

5th Chapter: Hold My Hand

That time when i dont want to do anything else other than intertwine your fingers with mine and feel your warm soft hand to my cold hand.

I feel happy and secured just like before, all thanks to him... I  cant help but smile just thinking of him and what he has done for me for the past few days. But theres still this pain and fear. Fear of my father, what if he returns and does it again to me?

I shook that thought off, everything will be fine. Everything will be fine, its a mantra Ive been chanting to myself, I need to be positive for my little sister and for toper. I promised him, and I'm keeping that promise.

Its 11 pm and Im still not a bit sleepy, Emily is fast asleep on my bed. I sighed and walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water. As I was pouring to my glass a knock came. I jumped in shock and fear suddenly envelopes me. I waited.. my hands trembling and my eyes teary. Then another knock, louder than the first time. I slowly walked towards the door.

'Who is it?' I called.

Silence.
Then suddenly I heard a familiar voice.

'Its me.' Two words.. just two words and Im running to the door and opening it, revealing him.

'Toper? Whats wrong?' I asked, Concerned and afraid of what brought him here at my torn and messy apartment.

His eyes held no emotion and his face is passive and hard. He looks.. Sad and Angry. He just stood there looking ahead of me. 
I opened the door wide and pulled him inside then I closed the door.

He was silent. This is the first time Ive seen him like this, and i dont like it. He isnt in his clothes a few hours ago and his hair is a bit damp, Like he just got out of the shower then drove here.

I cleared my throat and smiled at him. He looked up and meet my gaze. His eyes warmed and he sighed.
'Will you tell me whats wrong?' i asked him.

'Can I stay here for a few days?' He asked me. To say i was shock was an understatement. But I quickly shook it off as it hit me. He needs me, he needs a place to stay and he needs a friend.

'Okey..' i replied. His eyes widened, like he wasnt expecting that. Now Im confused.

'Really?' he asks.

I gave him a reassuring smile and nodded. Then he gave me a full blown smile that had my heart racing. His smile just blows me away everytime. We sat at the couch.

'Did something happend?' I ask him, worried.

'We just had a fight at home and I don't know what to do and I just need to get away for a few days.' He replies, making me sad. It's the first time he has confide to me.

'Its okey, you don't have to think about it for now. Have you eaten? I made Mac and cheese, I can heat it up for you." I offered him but he shook his head.

'I had my dinner before coming here.' He answered me. I nodded.

'You can take my room, I'll be staying with Emma. She can't sleep without me.' I stood up and lead him to my small room.

I watched him carefully as he scans my room with his eyes. He looks like he doesn't belong in my very small room. He walks to my bed and sits at the edge.
