Messed up doll

Rich Mysterious Guy

I moved Soph a little bit to the side carefully so she wouldn't wake up, she sleeps with me beacause she's always afraid of almost everything so i let her stay here sometimes.

So i had an irrational idea that going outside would help me find the kiddo , i know how stupid that sounded but guilt was killing me and i wouldn't be able to get some rest until at least i checked .

So there i was, outside my house with my Betty Boop pajamas and my puffy flip flops. I wasn't ashamed cause i had the feeling that he wouldn't be there. I stood there like for ten minutes , then i saw a figure at the swings of the park (the park is infront of my house) . At first i wasn't sure if i should get close to it but then i saw the backpack the rich mysterious guy was carrying left at the front of the park.

When i got close enough i saw it was actually him, so i placed myself at the swing next door. "I'm sorry " i said. He looked at me with i think was compassion and said" it's okay dear" he had a British accent which i didn't noticed before. How dare could i not?

"Ohh! And happy birthday pretty lady" he said.

OMG! How sexy his accent was , i mean i didnt pay any attention to what he said because his accent was distracting me. But after some minutes of staying silent i finally managed to say "thank you stranger".

"Excuse my manners darling , my name is Andrew Smith , and yours is? " , how cute this guy is " My name is Elly, i mean Elizabeth Notril " . He extended his hand and i extended mine , he took mine on his hand and i was about to shake it until he turn it , kissed it and said " what a lovely name for such a beautiful doll, i apologize for my behavior earlier" he had something on his eyes that reminded me of my owns. He's still handsome and cute but his eyes reveal pain and his bags under his eyes tells me that he's been out of his house for a while.

"I'm sorry Andrew , i don't like to be disrespectful or an intruder but , where's your home?"

He stood quietly for the longest 4 minutes of my life but during those minutes he was kinda thinking how to arrange the words to explain something hurtful .

Then he said 'i'm running away from my home' , those six words penetrated my heart. He was feeling like crap . I always thought that if a person was in a huge need i would be able to help them, but he is too cute and hurted , and again i should repeat this HE IS BRITISH!

I with my awkwardness and my stupidity tried to hug him but as we were on the swings i fell down from mine and crashed on my knees. They had blood , but it was a bit and he as a gentleman that he appears to be didn't laugh at me , instead he lifted me from the floor and took me to my house on his arms which were puffy and soft at the same time. I swear i felt like a Disney princess , not Fiona, it was more like Snow White.

He took me to the kitchen , still on his arms , and placed me in a chair near the dish washer then he took the chair that was opposite mine on the dinner table and said ''would you please place your legs here?" I did as told and the only thing i could do was stare at him. He is like a Nicholas Sparks stories guy.

" do you have cotton or a first-aid kit?" He asked, " umm in-in that shelter" i said shockingly pointing to the shelter next to the refrigerator. He took out the cotton ,a patch and the alcohol, then he opened the alcohol and placed a little of it in the cotton ,when he approached the wet cotton to my knee i felt the coldness and my burning flesh , and that was the moment that i realized i had been bleeding for a long time now and my right leg was disgustingly dirty.

I was about to scream because it hurted like hell , but i remembered that my mom was sleeping upstairs so i had to suffer silently.

He did a medical procedure to clean my knees ,which i felt eternally bleeding ,but watching him was a really nice hobby.

In a moment or so our eyes met.

After he finished i asked him if he was hungry or something, he wasn't hungry but i made a hot chocolate for both of us so we could talk.

We stared at each other drinking the hot chocolate silently and then i asked him if he was tired , he was indeed but he wanted to know a little bit more about me. We talked till sunset and then we saw Sophie appearing from upstairs. I instantaneously looked at my watch and saw it was 6:00 o'clock so i told him that i had to leave for school. I went upstairs , took a quick bath and then changed for my uniform. I was ready by 6:30 so i ran downstairs , did a sandwich for Soph and one for me and told Andrew to make himself comfortable. I took the keys of the car and hurried to school with Soph. We were there at 6:59.

At school i couldn't concentrate because of what Andrew told me , he left his house two days ago because his father was an alcoholic and his mother was an avaricious , selfish woman. They had always fights about either money or alcoholic state in which his father was and they never threated him like a son. And the night he left what happened was that he found his mother with another guy and his father had appeared late at home. Andrew used the opportunity to tell him about how his mother was cheating on him , but to Andrew's surprise he didn't believe what he said and instead he insulted Andrew in every possible way and he tried to hit him but couldn't because of the drunk state in which he was.

Andrew decided to leave the house after that because his mother appeared in his room like twenty minutes after he had the discussion with his father, she slapped Andrew and told him that he has always been an unwanted child who had no right to ruin her marriage.

That's the most stupid thing i've ever heard because if she would have loved him enough she wouldn't be giving herself to any other man. And even if he wasn't unwanted or not that shouldn't be said not even by his mother.

Well the thing is that she told him other hurtful things so he grabbed his clothes and important stuff and left. Ohh but before he left he took a lot of money from his parents.

They are rich enough not to notice, but he had his credit card which his parents gave him for his 12th birthday so he wouldn't have starved at all.

I wasn't ready to talk about me , and i am a good listener so we kept talking about him the whole night. He told me that he went to his friends's houses but they thought that he was poor so they didn't wanted to help him.

"So what's the answer Elizabeth?" Said my arithmetic teacher, "Umm 5? " i said after a moment of dumbness. The whole class laughed at me and i realized that they were studying the vocabulary. Claire was staring at me and mimicking something which i couldn't understand completely but i guess she asked me about what was going on with me. She has the intuition of a jealous woman, i can hide nothing from her so i told her how handsome he was and everything. She asked me his name and searched for something in her phone, some minutes after she showed me a family photo taken like three or four years ago. At first i couldn' t figure it out but then those eyes caught my attention and i saw HIM.
