You Saved Me •[Raura]•

Mi casa-es-su casa

My alarm goes off. It's 5 past 8. I am so tired. I could barely move.

Then the memory of a few hours ago pop into my mind, next thing you know I'm immediately up and getting dressed.

Fresh boxers, ripped jeans and orange jumper. My phone does say 5°c today, so jumper is my way of wrapping up.

I quietly open Marano's room door. She is sound is asleep, she'll need it. Heck knows how long she was truly on the streets for. I slowly close it again and make my way downstairs. It's not even that bright out, then again with being the start of December, it's going to be dark early in the morning.

Once getting to the kitchen, I search for what I need to get this breakfast in bed ready.

I make the eggs, bacon and roast a few tomatoes. I make some toast on the side, pour Marano a cup of OJ, but also make a cup of tea (I assume she likes it)

Placing everything on a carry tray, I take it back upstairs to Marano's room.

I gently knock with my foot in hope of some chance waking her.

"I'm awake, come on in" I place the try in one arm and use my now free hand to open the door.

As I walk through the door, Marano turns on the lamp by her bed. Her hair is a little messy, but cute. She's rubbing her eyes for tiredness, also cute.

"Morning Ross, sorry for earlier on" I smile, shaking my head.

"You've got nothing to be sorry for Marano. I'll be there for you throughout all of this, that is a promise" She smiles at me fondly and pats the bed, gesturing for me to place the tray down.

"Thank you for breakfast. You got anything planned for today?"

"Yeah, I do have something planned. But for the now, we are going to eat breakfast and chat about colours and sizes because afterwards, your doing Netflix downstairs whilst I got cloth shopping for you. You need some fresh clothes" I watch as Marano smiles, taking another bite from her breakfast.

"Thank you Ross, but you truly don't need to do that" I raise my hand to stop her.

"Marano, don't say another word" She clamped up immediately. I take another bite from the food and stand up, going to open the curtains.

"This room needs light, before you slept in here this room was always dark and gloomy" Marano just nodded her head, she seemed to be agreeing with me.

"I'm going to get a long jumper that you can use as an oversize sweatshirt, and a pair of shorts to keep yourself covered, if you want to head downstairs I'll meet you?" Smiling, she grabs the tray and heads.

I walk into my room and rake my drawers looking for shorts, eventually finding some.

I then grab the first long sweater I see from my wardrobe. Grabbing my deodorant, I make my way down the stairs to meet Marano. I find her on the couch already setting up Netflix. I smile at her eagerness.

"Find anything good yet?" She jumps from my sudden appearance but smiles as she hovers her choice box over Stranger Things.

"I want to watch this, is it good?" I look at her choice and smile, giving her an answer immediately.

"It's amazing, I loved it. If you wanna start watching it, I'll watch it with you once I'm back from the shops, I could watch it over and over again without hassle" she smiles big and jumps into a different position on the couch.

"You be careful. You don't want anything to happen. Your only so many weeks in" She looked at me, her smile small like she felt a little bit of guilt.

"It's okay, but please promise me you'll be careful?" She nods and take that as that and head into the kitchen, grabbing 2 water bottles. I place one on the side table in the hall for me to take and give the other to Marano before grabbing my fleece on the side couch and my phone off the side table next to the couch.

"Where you going?" I think for a moment, I actually don't know.

"Colours?" She shrugs.

"No preference, okay... um, any brand in particular?" She shakes her head.

"How about I get you a small bunch of clothes and you'll tell me that way, and whatever you dont want we can return?" She looks at the TV and nods away happily.

"I can't help you with money though, I feel bad!" She spoke lightly, she felt bad for me? I felt bad for her.

"No reason to feel bad, I am doing this because I want to. Stay safe and don't leave the house. I'd say answer your phone if I call, but yeah... I'll also fix that too" before she could protest, I grab my water and shoes and rush out the door and slam it shut.

Pressing the open door button on my car keys, I get into my driver's seat and insert the key to start up the car.

Reversing out the drive way, I have a think to myself as to why I have allowed this pregnant women into my home.

Was it because she was homeless?

Was it because she was pregnant?

Was it because she was helpless?

Was it because she got herself into a situation that was really rough?

Or was it mainly because I was raised the right way and I wanted to help her, let her know there is still genuine people out there who love to help.

Like myself.

Driving towards the mall, I am definitely certain I want to do this.

I want to look after Marano. I will help her throughout this pregnancy, I will support her in whatever decision she makes.

I eventually park my car in the mall parking lot, close to the entrance as possible as I don't want to walk far.

Walking inside the mall, I scan all the shops looking for ones in particular to my main mission.

Mothercare being one of them, need a few things for Marano's comfort. I search for a pregnancy pillow, it'll eventually get rough for her throughout this experience.

I grab her the best I could find, and it's like the shops are in my favour because there is sales on, 50% off in Mothercare, so really I got the pregnancy pillow cheaper.

Approved by me.

With the pregnancy pillow sucked in, making it a decent sized package to hold. I head onto a new shop. Thinking Primark because they're clothing is pretty decent.

And again, sale.

I'm rather excited about this because I've never went shopping for a young women before.

Challenge accepted.
