  My father came into my room, “Hey piece of shit! How are you not dead yet?” I clenched my jaw and tried to ignore the tears threatening to spill. “ PAY ATTENTION WHEN I TALK TO YOU!” he screamed in my face. I turned around in my chair and he slapped my face. A slap in the face, I feel to the ground, a kick in the stomach, I curled into the fetal position, then I could feel the jagged edge of a Swiss Army knife along my stomach . Tears streamed down my face as he got up and walked away laughing. That's all it took for me to decide to leave. The last straw. When I was sure he was down stairs I jumped into my closet. I grabbed some stuff, random stuff and threw it into an old backpack. I walked into the hallway with my bag. I saw him walking up the stairs. Too weak to take another beating I ran into the bathroom and quickly locked the door. I suddenly realized the pain emitting from my side. I look down to see my favorite green shirt with a medium sized gash on the side and soaked in blood I went to go fix myself up, but losing so much blood I slowly collapsed onto the floor. Slowly letting my tiredness taking over. Right before I fell asleep, I silently asked myself to not wake up again.

Just as my cheek hits the tile I bolt awake with tears streaming down my face to a very comfy bed. This isn't right. My bed isn't comfy. Everything comes back to be as my eyes adjust to the sunlight peeking into the room through the blinds covering the window.  I quickly get out of bed and straighten the sheets and duvet. I walk into the bathroom adjacent to the room with my backpack in tow. I change out of the t-shirt Toby lent me and place it in what looks to be the dirty laundry basket. I change into a outfit and walk in to the room again. I drop my backpack  by the foot of the bed and walk out into the living room. 

"Look who's finally up!" Toby exclaims from the kitchen. 

"morning to you too." I say sleepily "Thank for letting me stay here. You didn't have to. I'll get out of your hair as soon as possible" I say 

Toby appears in the doorway into the kitchen from the living room as I sit on the couch. "But I like helping you, and you could get hurt but someone out there" 

For some reason I felt like i've known Toby forever and I can tell he feels the same about me because of the way he is so protective over me.

" Well thank you so much Toby" I said with a smile. "So what are you doing today?" I ask trying to fill the air.

"well, I know we only meet last night but I feel like i've known you forever, and I was hoping you would stay here a little longer or at least until you get settled and can support yourself, so I was gonna make the guest room into your room." He says with a look of hopefulness plastered on his face. 

"Really" I asked sounding like a 6 year old o being told that they are going to Disney World.

"Of course" toby says as he walks back into the kitchen only to emerge seconds later with 2 cups of coffee. " I didn't know how you liked yours so I made it like mine" He said calmly.

"Your too kind" I say in reply.

~~~( A few days later)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"NOELLE!! Toby shrieks from his room as I sit in my new room curtsy of Toby Turner. "WHERES MY SHIRT." he yells as he walks into my room.

" I'll give you a hint" I say playfully

“Ooh. I’m excited. I feel like a kid on a treasure hunt. Except I’m trying to find something I already own, that you stole from me.” he said with laughter silently intertwined in the way he said it.

“Hey I didn't steal it, i just relocated it!” I said with a smile. I reach over to my desk and grab a peice of paper and pen and scribble down 

"Clues to Your Shirt

1. Look in the laundry

2. Look in the laundry

3.Look in the laundry"

I smirk at what i've written and hold the peice of paper and hand it to Toby. "Good Luck" I say sarcastically as he opens the note.

"To my bathroom" He yells as he runs down the hallway like superman. 

How he has changed my world.
