"His name will be Shadow." I said to Landon.

"We'll go to the pet shop now, shall we leave him here for a while? We don't have a leash."

"Okay. We'll leave him here."

In no time at all we reached the petshop and Landon and I got out of the car and walked into the petshop. Landon, of course, put his arm around my waist again to at least help me walk a little. That's nice of him.

As soon as we walked into this huge petshop, I have to say I've never been here before.

"We need to buy a bed, some toys, food, and whatever else you like." Landon said. We took the cart and I leaned on it while Landon led me. We started with the bed.

"Which one do you like?" They had a lot of beds to choose from here.

But I quite liked the grey one, it looked really nice and so classic. "The grey one here is nice." I showed Landon. Landon took the bed and put it in the basket.

"Maybe we can buy him more quiet beds later, maybe we can put one in the living room." Landon said. We slowly walked over to the toys.

We picked out plain tennis balls, stuffed animals, and a few other interesting toys.

We also picked out beautiful gray bowls for him.

Then we moved on to food and treats. We picked out a lot of stuff too, we couldn't even fit it in the cart. We had to bring another cart. That's gonna cost a fortune.

When we moved on to paying, luckily we got a discount since we had a very large purchase, but Landon paid for it and we went to the car. I feel bad that Landon has to pay for all of this for me.

We put it all in the trunk together and finally head home.

Shadow's sitting on my lap. He won't get off me.

"Are you sure you don't want to pay it back?" I ask him again. I really feel bad that he paid for all of this for me.

"I really don't mind and definitely don't pay me back. If you need to buy anything feel free to tell me."

I feel really bad asking for money. If I asked my step-dad for money, he'd beat me up so bad I probably wouldn't even get up.

"Okay." I replied, even though I'm not going to ask for anything anyway. I'm starting to trust them, but I'm still scared.

We're at the gates of our house now.

"Do theyknow about this?" I asked Landon. We're already parked.

"Only your dad and my dad know about this, no one else." Landon got out and walked over to my side of the car.

I put Shadow on the leash and Landon helped me out of the car.

"Someone will take that stuff to your room. You'll have Sadow in your room. I hope you don't mind."

"I'll be very glad to have Shadow with me at night."

"We'll go into the living room now, and I'll tell someone to take it to your room, okay?" Landon asked me. I nodded and we went into the living room. Landon was on his cell phone for a while, but then he turned his attention back to me and Shadow.

Shadow is still running around me. He's so freaking cute.

----- 30 minutes later -----

Landon finally said we could go to my room now.

Shadow must have gotten tired because he laid in my arms for a while and must have fallen asleep.

Landon helped me get to my room, and here all of Shadow's stuff was already moved in. How did he do that?
