Mr. Hunter's Home for Disturb Boys.

Chapter Five

"Sweet boy, why?" Mr. Hunter asked as we sat down. He sat at his desk and I sat in the chair across from the desk.
"Why? what sir ?"I asked lying through my teeth, I knew exactly what he was talking about.
"I don't like to be lied to, I have a degree in this. I know what I see,I'm not blind." Mr. Hunter told me in a soft voice. I bite my lip nervously and looks down to avoid his stare. I heard him sigh and his chair creaked as he leaned back.
" What are your hobbies?" He asked me. I looked up at him confused " um I l-like to read and draw" I said quietly.

  He got up quietly and kneels down in front of me. He grabbed my arm softly, making me flinch.
" I would like you to draw when you feel the need to hurt yourself. You don't have to show me the picture unless you want to " he told me in a kind tone as he caressed the side of my arm. His dark brown eyes never left my face. I felt ashamed and embarrassed that he knew that I cut.
"Okay sir" I said agreeing as I bite my lip. He gently took my lip from between my teeth then he stood tall.
" I'm sure Liam, is already dragging the other boys into a movie night. Why don't we join them." He told me as he held his hand out for me. I blush as I take his hand. He pulled me out of my seat and we left his office.

Most of the boys where sitting in the living room and Liam came in pulling Francis with him, who had a small scowl.  Once Liam saw me, he let go of Francis and bounce up to me " Elijah! Do you want to pick the movie?!" Liam asked excitedly. I wince slightly at his loud voice " Liam remember your inside voice" Mr. Hunter he told the shorter boy. " sorry sir, so what movie do you want to watch?" Liam asked me quieter this time. "Um how about Hercules?" I asked shyly. " Okay" He said excitedly and he went to the tv and put the movie in.  I blush when I realized I'm still holding Mr. Hunters hand. He pulled me over to a sofa gently and we sat down as the movie started to play, I let go of Mr. Hunters hand and put my hands  in  my lap. Liam sat on the other side of Mr. Hunter. I watched the movie for a little and then looked around the room. The five other boys sat close together on the big couch. I felt bad for not remember their names. As I looked at them, I felt like I was intruding on something like I didn't belong here. I bite my lip and scrunched up my eyebrows as I think. They probably don't like me, I wouldn't blame them. I don't like myself either. My wrist became itchy  from my thoughts, I didn't notice my hands started to shake until a hand grabbed mine . " Are you okay?"Mr. Hunter whispered since Liam fell asleep leaning into him. I nods my head and squeezed his hand. He didn't push me into talking, that was one thing I like about Mr. Hunter. He didn't force you, I could see that even though I been here a day.

The movie was over and I was still wide awake. Mr. Hunter stood up and picked up Liam with ease.  The boy with black hair pulled into a bun, I remembered his name now. Noah, was his name, he pick up the red head boy that fell asleep. The rest of them got up and headed to there room after they said a small good night. I got up and headed to my room. Francis was standing by the stairs holding something behind his back. I was about to go up the stairs when Francis stopped me " I um I'm sorry about w-what my brother said, h-here's your book" he said nervously as he held my book out to me.
" thank you" I said in a small voice. I grabbed the book and went to my room. I closed the door and thought there would be no point in trying to sleep.

  I went to the window and opened it. I put my book it my pants as I climb out the window and up to the roof. Once on the roof, I laid on my back and looked at the stars. I didn't know how long I looked at the stars for as  I turn onto my stomach and I pulled  my book out. I started to read it by moonlight. I didn't know when I fell asleep but I was awaken when someone called for Mr. Hunter loudly.  It came from my room " Mr. Hunter! Elijah is not in his room!" The boy said sounds scared.
