Abuse isn't something anyone would want to endure. But unfortunately for Lauren it is something she has to deal with on a daily basis. After the loss of her mother 5 years ago, her father took a turn for the worst. Can she cope with it on her own or...
''I have something for you.'' Caleb says softly. ''Close your eyes please.'' I close my eyes and wait for Caleb to say that I can open them again.
''You can open them.'' I open my eyes and see Caleb holding a beautiful necklace with a moon hanging on the end a star right above it.

''It's beautiful! But you didn't have to.''
''Oh yes I did. May I?'' I turn around and Caleb places the necklace around my neck.
''I choose those this one because we met at night. When the moon didn't give a lot of light but the stars were very bright out. The first time that I saw you and this is a reminder of that night. But don't think about that creepy guy that was following you. I know it wasn't the best night of your life but it was mine.'' My heart melts at his words and I kiss him again. Both my hands on his cheeks.
''Thank you I love it!'' I say.
''I am glad you do.'' He gives me a kiss on the top of my head.
''Now lets eat some.'' Caleb says and pushes some food towards me.
''Did you guys like it?'' Evelyne asks after we're done eating.
''Yes very much.'' I say and I thanked her for the food. ''I will help with the cleaning up.''
''Oh no darling that isn't necessary.'' Evelyne says.
''While good thing that I wasn't asking.'' I give her a little wink and walk in the kitchen to do the dishes.
''Honey you really don't need to help. You even paid for your food and I also didn't want you to do that.'' Evelyne says.
''Well I can't be expecting free meals everytime I come here and my hands work just fine to help you guys out a little.'' I say.
''Well would you like to work here then?'' Richard says stepping into the kitchen. I look up and see Evelyne and Richard both smiling.
''Only if you guys need the help.'' I say.
''We could use some extra hands, so that means that you just got yourself a job.'' Richard says.
''Thank you very much.''
''I'll give Caleb your schedule and he'll give it to you, alright?'' Evelyne says and I nod.
''Lauren I don't want to be rude but I think your brothers want you home.'' Calebs says while walking into the kitchen.
''Why? Is it already that late?'' I ask.
''No but they keep calling me and I just picked up and Marcus basically ruined my hearing while telling me to bring you home right now.'' Caleb says while rubbing his ear. Richard, Evelyne and I start to laugh.
