Befriending the broken girl

Jordan's P.O.V
I walk to her door and knock after a bit she opens the door slightly I see a bat in her hand she places it by the side of the door
"Hi"she says shyly why is she so shy and timid all the time I smell something burning and I think she smells it to because she turns around and runs off I slowly go in not knowing if I should or not she has her head in her hands and she's shaking her head I walk over to her and place my hand on her arm she tenses up at my touch and quickly stands up straight she looks at me and says sorry and starts to get back to cooking I look at her as she rushes to cook
"Do you need help?" She doesn't say anything but I start to help her cook we hear a car door slam and her eyes get big we look at each other for a minute before she starts rushing me up stairs and tells me to go to her room I don't know which room is hers but I just end up going to a room at the end the hallway I open the door and it's quite dark in her room I turn on her light and look around a bit I see a picture of her she looks so happy she's young and she's being held by a man and a woman I think they're er parents I heard when her parents had passed her dad in car crash I think he was hit by a drunk drive I'm not sure how her mom died but I remember after that people would say that she lived in a orphanage and they would make up a lot of random rumors about her I never knew if any of them were true or not I continue looking at the rest of her pictures but I just keep looking at that I pick it up and look at it one more time I hear the door to her room open I set the picture down and she has a tear running down her cheek "you okay?" She looks so empty she looks like she's broke she shakes her head ya "you look really happy in that picture she takes a glance at it and smiles "yeah I was really happy then" her voice cracks as she says that tears start run down her cheeks I walk over by her and wipe her tears with my hand she lets out a small laugh and I pull her in for a hug she stuff for a minute but ends up giving in and hugs me her body starts to gently shake and I know that she's crying she pulls away and wipes away her tears "I'm sorry" she looks at the ground I smile at her and she gives me a  tight smile we stay looking at each other for a moment but we both jump when we hear a crashing sound she starts to walk out the door and I follow  behind her she peaks her head out so that she can see "Fuck" I hear someone yell she doesn't seem to be to bothered I watch her she stares intently at what is going she moves over closer to me I think whoever is down there looked up and almost saw her after a bit we talk and find out that the guys name is Ezra she doesn't give to much information about all I really know is that he dad was hit by a drunk driver when he was driving home from work when she was young her mother remarried after him and that's where Ezra comes in her mother died when she was 9 I tell her about how my dad died from cancer when I was younger after a bit she leads me downstairs so that I can leave I see a man start to come out of his room he has a beer in his hand I assume that he's Ezra Olivia pushes me out the door and I pull out my phone and start walking away from my house I scroll through my contacts and call mike to pick me up from Olivia's house
