The New Hemmings

Ch.2

"What's your name, love," he said, breaking the silence.

"R-Rain," I replied.

"Where are your mommy and daddy," he said.

I gulped. I don't want to tell him, but yet, I have a feeling I haven't felt in a long time. I feel like I'm cared for. I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell him. Little did I know, this decision would change my life forever.

"Daddy killed mommy and tried to kill me, so I ran away," I said like a little kid. I tend to do this when I'm afraid.(A.N. She is very immature but she will mature when she's around 11 or 12)

He looked shocked.

"Come here," he said and lifted me up onto the counter. I was scared to death. He wrapped his arms around me. I tensed up at first, but then I calmed down and even hugged him back. I normally don't trust people this easily, but this is the first time in years somebody made me feel loved, not pitied and worthless.

"Do you have a place to sleep?" I shook my head.

"My shifts over, do you want to sleep at my house? You can meet my mommy and brothers," he said.

I thought for a moment, then nodded. 'Only one night' I told myself. He picked me up and we walked out after he locked up of course. People say I'm very small for my age, probably because of the lack of food, and I'm short.

"How old are you Rain?" He asked. I held up ten fingers.

"Ten??" He yelled. I flinched at the loud noise but nodded.

"You're too tiny to be ten! You're five at the most," he said in disbelief.

"I was never fed back home," I said shrugging. He gasped.

"Whe-Wha-Who-Why?" He stuttered.

"My dad never fed me. I snuck food from the kitchen, I only got caught once," I croaked. I bit my lip, holding back tears. I rested my head on his shoulder and drifted to sleep.

I woke up in Luke's arms. On one side of him was a woman. On the other were two boys a little older than him. I cuddled into his chest, hoping to go back to sleep.

"I know you're awake," said Luke. I giggled and sat up. I leaned into his chest, feeling very tired.

"Are you tired?" I nodded and rubbed my eyes.

"Mom, where should she sleep?"

"She can sleep in the guest room," the woman said.

Luke picked me up and took me into a bedroom. He walked up to the bed, tucked me in, then kissed my forehead. Then he turned off the light and walked out.

"Goodnight, love,"

"Night Luke,"

I instantly fell asleep.

I woke up because I was being blinded by the sun. It burns!! I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep when I heard singing. I hopped off the bed and followed the sound. I wasn't looking and ran into one of the boys sitting next to Luke.

"I'm so so so so so sorry. It was an accident please don't hurt me," I cried and shielded my face. The boy just walked away.

Luke's pov

I finished singing a cover for YouTube and shut off the camera.

"Luke! Can you come here?" I hear Ben yell. I run downstairs to talk to him.

"You know the girl you brought home?" I said. He nodded.

"In the hall, she bumped into me, and she started crying and begging me to not hurt her,"

I gasped. What did her father do to her?

A.N.
