Little rays of sun shone through the cracks of the drapes. I groaned out in protest to the sudden light, and tried to get rid of it. Squinting, I closed the curtains. Rubbing my eyes I started to get ready for the day. Today was going to be a long day. I walked into the bathroom sighing. Another comes I think to myself. I wonder what this one will bring in store for me.

Absentmindly, I brushed my teeth. “Back, forth, back, forth,” I chanted in my head. This continued for about a minute. I spat and rinsed my mouth. Getting into the shower, I turned the knob to be cold. The cold shower seemed to unknot the tense muscles in my body. I let out a sigh of content. All my problems and worries have been washed away. I know, corny, but that’s what it felt like.

I put on the same outfit I had on the other day, because I hadn’t had the chance to get new ones and I was afraid of going back home. The memories would be too much for me to handle right now. Sitting down I looked into my mirror and began to brush out the long tangled strands. Well I guess this was good enough.

A knock resounded off the door and I opened it to reveal a shaggy haired Hero smiling at me. I smiled back.

“Hi, why are you here?” I questioned happily.

“Well, I heard from Sarah that you would meet your social worker today and I thought that you would like support since you don’t have anyone with you”

A slight movement caught my eye. A little girl with curly brown hair and chocolate brown eyes stared at me. “Hi” she whispered shyly.

“And who might you be?” I feigned surprise.

“I’m Ewiswe”, she said with a lisp and smiled proudly. She leaned up towards me. “I came to visit because Hewo nevew stops tawking about you when he visits” she whispered in my ear and giggled. Hero blushed.

“I thought that we were gonna keep that a secret, Ellie” he whined dragging out the nickname he gave her.

“I wied” Elisle playfully said.

I bent down and asked, ”So how old are you Elisle?”

“I’m five years old” she demonstrated holding her five fingers out at me.

“Wow you’re growing up quick aren’t you,” I smiled. She quickly nodded her head. “So why else did you come here?”

“Hewo said you wewe vewy pwetty so I wanted to see you too. I also wanted to ask if you wewe Hewo’s giwlfwiend. He says he wikes you awot.” She innocently said.

Hero’s jaws and mine dropped open. This child is more manipulative than her appearance let on. I turned red.

“I’m sorry. She’s not normally like that,” He stuttered.

“It’s okay. I like her. She’s cute,” I chuckled “mischievous but cute”.

Hero scratched his head as he stood there. “So-Um, Well I- like I was saying,’ Hero struggled to say. “Sarah told me about you meeting your social worker today, and I thought I could support you by being with you since you don’t have anyone.”

How sweet I thought. “Thanks. That means a lot,” I replied.

He scratched his head. “No problem,” he smiled.

My conversion with Elisle popped into my mind. Hero talks about me and likes me? I smiled inwardly. I have to tease him about it. I wouldn’t be myself if I didn’t.
