   When I first saw Mila up against the wall with the man, all I could see was red. After what happened with Abby, I can't let another girl go through that. Usually no one is back here, which is why I came back here in the first place. To make sure no one like this asshole was trying to do something with an innocent girl.

   I quickly ripped him off of her, and made sure she was okay, but as soon as I touched her arm, she screamed so I backed off, but got in her eye rang. Her eyes were filled with nothing but terror and shock. I felt so bad. I still do.

   Then she fainted. It took me by surprise, and I tried to grab her, but I wasn't fast enough. I then took her to the closest hospital because her head was bleeding. I didn't want to take any chances.

   When we pulled up, the paramedics took her to the ER, and I waited for her parents to come so I could explain what happened. I explained everything from the man almost raping her to her hitting her head after fainting.

   That leads me to where I am now. Taking Mila to my house because she suffers from memory loss, and only remembers me. The doctors said it would be better for her to stay with me because she has separation anxiety. Meaning I can't leave her sight, or she will freak the flip out.

   I live alone so I guess that will make it better for her. Last year my parents left me to fend for myself. I was only 17 at the time, but the government saw that I could take care of myself. By law I wasn't supposed to live by myself, but they let me. I'm 18 now, so it doesn't matter anyways.

   Mila is sitting in the passenger seat of my truck, being as quiet as can be. I mean I get why; she can't remember anything. I would be freaking out, but she is quiet.

   "Tomorrow after you rest, we can go shopping for some stuff if you want?" I ask her and she nods her head. I don't know why, but I feel like I have to protect her. I had to stay by her bed the entire time while she was in a coma or I would freak out. Kind of like separation anxiety but the doctors said it was just because I saved her, but I think its something else.

   I see a McDonalds and I get an Idea.

   "Are you hungry?" I ask her and she smiles and nods her head happily. The doctors also said when she was out of the room getting dresses that she would be pretty much silent for a while, but she will start talking when she gets comfortable with her surroundings.

   I pull into the McDonalds drive-through and we ordered some food. I got the BigMac and Mila got the quarter pounder with a vanilla milkshake. I watch her as she takes a bite and moans a little to the taste. Not goanna lie, that was kinda hot.

   I decide I'm going to eat my food at the house because I'm sure she is tired. Its been a pretty long morning. The house is only three minutes away, but Mila finishes all of her food including the milkshake before we even get there. Dang she must have been really hungry.

   As I pull up to house, her leg bounces with nerves and I chuckle.

   "You can pick whatever room you want there are three open ones." I pause for a second, remembering what the doctors told me. Separation anxiety. She'll want to sleep in my room or want me to sleep in the room she chooses.

   "Um, I uh, can I stay with you in your room?" She asks me in a small shy voice. I smile at her and nod. I can sleep on the floor its no big deal. When I have friends over, I usually get stuck on the floor because they take the bed.

   I park the truck and get out. I hurry around to the other side so I can let her out. I don't know  why but I felt like doing it, so I did.

   "I uh don't have any cloths..." Mila tells me.

   "We can pick all of that up tomorrow. For tonight you can borrow something of mine. Mila is tiny. Like 5'4 tiny. Everything of mine will be massive on her but it should be okay for tonight.

   We go inside and I take her to my room so she can sleep or whatever. My room is on the second floor. The only room on that floor. This house is three stories. Three rooms are on the first floor, my room on the second, then the gaming and theater on the third floor.

   "Are you tired?" I ask her and she yawns for her answer and I laugh. That answers my question. It's only around 5pm right now, but I'm pretty exhausted myself. That couch was not comfortable at all.

   "Okay, you can sleep on my bed, and I will wake you up later, if you still want to sleep thought, you can tell me, and I'll let you sleep." She nods her head and climbs into my bed and covers herself up. Dang she is adorable. I will straight up admit it. She is really adorable.

   Well, I guess while she sleeps, I can do my homework. Mila and I go to the same high school, but because of her condition, she will be skipping a few weeks. I will have to call my principle and tell him about this whole situation and let me skip as well because I can't leave Mila.

   I wish Abby was here, she could have helped me with this.
