Forgotten garden

"I can't do this.."

♡♡♡

I was in the shower, standing under the cold water as I cried softly. The shower was the only place I could cry without my aunt knowing

I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my waist. I looked over my body and saw the scars still weren't gone and they probably wouldn't go away at this point

It has been two weeks that I've been here and Orion never bothered me again after I yelled at him, Darren and I would meet on the roof during our lunch break and I was right. They were seniors

I stepped out and saw my aunt yelling at my uncle. "You idiot! I want a divorce!" She screamed and I grabbed her arm, "auntie, please calm down" I pleaded

They told me that my uncle had made some sketchy payments and now they had to go see my grandma for some extra help.

"I'm sorry munchkin" she wiped her eyes and I smiled softly. "No no, it's not your fault" I soothed. "There's only enough money for two tickets, you'll be okay here?" She sniffled

"I'll be fine! I'm nineteen auntie. I'll be okay alone" I smiled and she nodded.

By the end of the day they had everything packed and they left for the airport. Once I shut the door I frowned, I was going to be all alone for who knows how long.

I sighed and went to my room, only to go back to the door when there was a knock. "Hey, where is your aunt?" The landlord questioned

"Uh, she's just left" I tried and he scowled "the payments are behind, get out!" He yelled "or I'm calling the cops" he stormed away and I stared blankly.

~.:~:.~

I was out of the streets with my bags and I had to leave behind anything extra inside the house. I walked aimlessly and my stomach growled. I found myself back at the place where I met Orion.

I frowned and sat down, I was cold and hungry. Even my phone was dead. What am I going to do?

"Runt?" I heard a voice question and my head shot up. "Orion.." I whispered "what are you doing out so late with your bags?" He questioned with a growl and I flinched "I.. got kicked out of my place" I whispered, embarrassed

He grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "Ah! Hey, stop it" I whined and he pulled me with one of his hands. The other grabbed my luggage

"O-Orion!" I stuttered out his name and he only continued to drag me along. "Stop squirming so much!" He yelled and I listened quickly.

We walked until we got to a large house that I assumed was his. We went inside and it was even bigger then I imagined. I looked at the freshly cleaned ground in awe.

"Come on" he stuck his hands in his pockets and we walked up a flight of stairs to his room that was the side of living room and kitchen combined

"Whoa" I looked around the very dark blue room. Must me his favorite color.. "why did you bring me here" I muttered and he sat on the edge of his king sized bed

"You can stay the night. Or longer if you really have to" he crossed his arms. "Don't you live with someone?" He questioned and I nodded "my aunt and uncle, but they are out of town" I sat down on the couch he had a couple feet in front of his bed

He walked over and sat down next to me. "Just put your cloth on the empty spaces in my closet and then you can sleep on the bed" he spit

"No, I'll sleep on the couch and you can have your bed" I muttered softly. He was a scary. "I said you're going to sleep on the bed!" He yelled and I flinched once again and got up. I sat on the bed and took off my heavy jacket

"Okay, fine.. I'll sleep here" I muttered and he huffed. He changed in front of me and shielded my eyes as my face went red. "What are you doing? Are you going to change?" He looked over at me

"Y-Yea! Just a bit cold" I covered myself in the blue sheets and was surprised at how good they smelled. I sniffed at them and smiled. 'Why does he smell so good..' I thought to myself

I heard him walk over to the couch and lay down. I stood and stripped from my jeans and put on shorts quickly. I obviously could sleep shirtless so I just laid down.

"Good night.." I whispered and he just grunted in response. I closed my eyes and let myself wonder into dream land.

Orion's POV

I could tell he went to sleep by his soft snores: I got up and walked over, watching as he twitched in his sleep and pouted. "You dork" I growled and went back to the couch.

"Why did I bring him here" I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. He's just so.. tiny and cute. How could I leave him in the streets to be taken advantage of?

Darren told me after he ran away from me, two of the guys we had disposed of before for a female friend had approached him

They would have got their way with his body if Darren wasn't there for him. I got a text message, -

Aaron

Dude, there's a party down here at club6. Come down and let's drink till we pass out!

I can't

Why the hell not? hurry up man

You're so annoying. I'm on my way

I threw my phone to the side and got up, changing once again and I looked over to the smaller male. I saw his charging phone next to him and I grabbed it

I opened it with a swipe and frowned. "No password?" I whispered and put my phone number in, only to realize it was there under the contact 'Orion🦁'

I smiled down at the screen and called my number, then set it next to him again. I saved his number 'Little Brat'

I walked out of the room, closing the door quietly and let the house to meet Aaron. "I'll be right back" I whispered

"Promise"
