Jade

Damn his house is nice.

She looked around the enormous house. It looked simple, yet huge.

How did he have enough money to buy this house?

He started heading upstairs, and she instantly followed behind him.

He opened his door, allowing her to go inside first. "And here's my room."

She looked around again. Baby blue walls, a desk in the corner, a window, a king-sized bed.

Oh the things we could do on this bed.

Stop it.

She sat on the edge of his bed as he went over to his drawer and pulled out a small t-shirt, handing it to her. It was too small for him, but looked big for her.

She eyed the shirt, then looked back up at him curiously.

"In case you, y'know," he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "Wanna, maybe, stay the night?"

She looked down at the shirt again, then nodded silently.

"The bathroom is down the hall," he informed her. "If you wanna take a shower."

She looked down at her outfit, then back up at him. "Unless you have a bra and underwear for me, then probably not."

His cheeks tinted pink, and he walked outside the bedroom, coming back and placing a bra and a pair of underwear on the bed.

She raised an eyebrow. "I'm not wearing these if they've been on another girl's body."

His eyes glazed. "They were my sister's, but she never wore them. You can use them if you want. She wouldn't have minded."

She wouldn't have minded?

She opened her mouth to ask, but he beat her to it.

"She passed away a year ago," he said quietly, answering her silent question.

Oh.

"I'm sorry," she frowned sadly.

He then shrugged, smiling at her. "She's somewhere better now. No worries. You hungry?"

She knew this was his way of trying to change the subject, so she replied, "not really."

"You're never hungry," he chuckled. "Do you even eat?"

She lowered her eyes to her feet, and his eyes widened in realization.

"When was the last time you ate?" He asked gently.

"I-I don't know," she replied softly. "Maybe two weeks ago?"

"What?!"

"I-I'm sorry," she whimpered, shrinking away from him, afraid that he would hit her.

His eyes softened. "Hey, hey. It's alright. I'm just shocked, that's all. You need to eat."

She immediately shook her head.

"Jade..."

"No," she whispered, shaking her head quickly. "I can't."

"Why not?"

"He will be mad if I eat," she squeezed her eyes shut tightly, trying to shake away the bad memories.

"Who will be mad, Jade?"

"Daddy."

He finally understood now.

She was afraid of his reaction, and she flinched as she saw his hands clench into fists.

Please don't hit me.

"You're never going back there again," he finally decided, shaking his head. "You're staying here, with me. There is absolutely no way you're ever going back there. We need to get you something to eat."

"I don't want to eat!" She yelled, causing him to stop. "I need to go home!"

"Jade, no. You're not going anywhere near him again. You're safe now. With me."

"Shut up!" She screamed, hitting his chest with her fists as she started breaking down into sobs.

He didn't know what to do, other than just hold her tightly in his arms as she cried.
