Makayla POV:
Slowly my sobs turned into steady hiccups. I pulled my head out of Ethans chest and looked up at him. He wiped away a single tear that rolled down my cheek with the pad of his thumb.
"Go take a nice warm shower, you'll feel a lot better" he said rubbing my back. My eyes went wide hearing what he said to me. A warm shower, is he for real.
I saw confusion cross his face most likely looking at my face. "What's wrong, what did I say" Ethan asked me. "I...I'm a...aloud to use w...warm water" I stuttered out.
He looked at me for a second before it looked like something clicked in his head. "You weren't aloud to use warm water at your old home where you" he asked me.
I slowly shock my head no, still looking down at my hands. I felt two fingers slide under my chin before my eyes meet Ethans.
"Look at me my sorella, you don't live with that monster anymore. What he did to you was wrong and will never happen to you again. You have all of us now and where here to protect you from bad people like him. (Sister)
You deserve the world and so much more. So if your hungry you can get food, if you want to take a hot shower then take one, if your just bored or lonely come find one of us and we'll be there because that's what where here for" he stated pulling me into another hug.
Many it's so wired, the only time that anyone would touch me before was when Darrell would beat me, now I just get cuddled all of the time.
I pulled back once from Ethans warm and loving embrace. "Now go get ready principessa, we need to find the extent of your injuries as soon as possible so that we know how to treat them" Ethan said softly.
I nodded my head and stood up from his lap. I made my way to my bathroom. Before I closed the door I turned back to Ethan and said "Thank you for staying with me last night, it made me feel better".
"Of course Makayla. Anytime you ever need someone to sleep next to or even just to talk to I'll always be available" he told me with a warm smile in his face.
I smiled back at him before closing my bathroom door with a sigh. I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror.
Looking back at me was still a fat, ugly little girl. A little girl covered is scars and bruises old and new. A broken little girl. But something was different, for the first time in a very long time her eyes showed hope. Hope for love, hope that thing will get better and hope for a family that loves her. For the first time in years I smiled at my reflection.
Remembering what I'm in here for I turned around and peeled off my sleepwear. I turned the water on but this time I moved it to hot.
Once i waited for the water to heat up I got into the shower. A sigh of content left my lips as soon as I felt the warm water running down my back.
I felt all of my sore muscles start to loosen. I washed myself but for once I took my time enjoying ever second that I got to enjoy in that glorious place.
Much to soon I turned off the water and got out of the shower. I grabbed the blue fuzzy towel that I had hanging up on the wall and wrapped it around myself.
I peeked my head out of the door to make sure that Ethan was gone. Seeing that the coast was clear I rushed into my closet shutting the door behind me.
I started looking for something to wear to this appointment. After about ten minutes I decided on black Nike leggings, a black Nike sports bra and a thin grey Pink zip up hoodie. I then paired the out fit with some black Nike shoes.
