Zayn's POV
"So, what should I know about you?" Amari says.
"What do you want to know?" I reply. I motion my hand for her to come sit closer.
"Come here" I tell her. Amari scoots down and stops once she is next to me.
"How old are you?" Amari asks.
"I'm 17," I answer.
"Oh I just turned 17"Amari says. I wouldn't have noticed. She looks like she's about 15 I think she might be lying. But why?
"So what happened with your mom?" I ask Amari.
We looked at each other for a moment before she started crying. I hugged her and she laid her head on my shoulder.
"Its okay. You don't have to tell me if it's too difficult" I tell her.
"No, you should know" Amari says. I keep hugging her and she doesn't seem to mind.
"My mom has never really payed attention to me. She's never cared. She goes to work and comes back late in the middle of the night drunk. Leaving me to find my own way to eat. I hadn't eaten in two days until you feed me soup. I came home yesterday and she had a strange man over. I thought it was just another guy she meet at the bar. I was right but they wanted to get married so she kicked me out and never looked back. I knew she didn't care but throwing me out on the street hurt," Amari explained.
"Well you can't get hurt anymore now" I tell her.
"I don't know what to do I have nowhere to go" she said as she started crying even more.
"Don't think about that right now. You have me. You can stay here, I told you that already," I say.
Amari's POV
Zayn hugs me as I cry. I feel so comforted and Zayn seems so sweet and sensitive. I think I like him. I feel bad I lied about my age. I just didn't want to tell him I'm 15.
I stopped crying and I feel sleepy.
"Do you feel alright?" Zayn asks me.
"I'm fine. Tell me more about yourself," I reply.
"Not much to know. Do you go to school? I have school on Monday. Thank god it's Friday," he says.
"Yeah but I don't like my school and all my school things are at my moms" I say trying not to cry thinking about my mom.
"We can get you new things tomorrow. If you want I'll transfer you to my school?" Zayn offers.
"Sure, thanks Zayn" I say.
"Want to watch a movie?" Zayn asks.
"Sounds like fun" I say.
"What movie shall we watch then?" he asks.
"Whichever one you want" I say with a smile.
Zayn walks over to rack of movies and picks one.
"What about friends?" Zayn asks.
"Yes! I love friends" I answer. It's not a movie but I love that show.
"Friends it is then!" Zayn says excitedly and smiles.
Zayn puts on friends and then sits next to me. We sit there watching tv and I feel myself falling asleep. My head ends up back on Zayn's shoulder and I start falling asleep.
Zayn's POV
Amari looks pretty while she's sleeping. I lift her head carefully off my shoulder and carry her to her room and tuck her in.
I walk back to the living room turn off the TV and go to my room and fall asleep.
