Alexanders p.o.v

"Im fine" I said with a smile. The Lees had done the Same thing with him before they showed there true colors. " alright then, lets go to this pizza place I know" Martha said happily. Lafayette practically squealed like a cheerleader on steroids and grabbed my hand. I instantly flinched and he retracted his hand. Oh crap, no I've done it,I told myself and I sighed. Lafayette didn't seem bothered though. We walked to the car and Martha explained the car rules. I stared out the window most for the time while laf talked his mouth off.  We met up with George there. They let me order anything I wanted. I thought it was a test to see how greedy I was so I order the cheapest thing to order. Which was a small side salad. George eyed me and told me that I should order more food. This isn't a test to see how greedy I am? Is it? My voice quivered. The Washingtons looked surprised. "Non non,mon aime! This is not a test, we want you to be happy!"  I blinked and stared at Lafayette. He smiled at me. "Are you sure, I'm sure you don't want to waste your money on me, I can eat the scraps." Lafayette indulged me in a hug. Both Martha and George looked closer to tears. "Honey we don't want you to feel this way, we know you had a tough life, so we will try our best to make you happy" I stared at them still trying to digest what they just said. There just kidding how could anyone love you, you killed your own mother!  I pushed the voice out and said thank you.

Lazy time skip~~

Lafayette p.o.v
I woke up at about 5:00 to hear a muffled scream from Alex's room. I jumped outta bed and ran to him. I opened the door to find him on the floor clutching the pillow as if it was a lifeline. "Mon amie, count with me, un deux trois quatre cinq." He seemed to calm done after that. "I'm sorry for waking you, please don't punish me." he was trembling. I hugged him wondering who would hurt such a innocent boy. I looked down to see him fast asleep. I smiled and carried him to bed and slipped in bed with him and wrapped my arms around him hoping it would make him feel safe.

It had only been a day, but Alex felt like that overtime, he could trust the Washingtons.
