the young girl that sat on the couch breathed heavily while staring at the ground. thunder rumbled as the four kids continued to stare at her until mike spoke up.
"is there a number we can call for your parents?" he asked and erin shook her head.
"mike," she tried to interrupt quietly but he didn't, nor did the other two boys, hear.
"where's your hair? do you have cancer?" dustin asked and erin threw her hands in the air, annoyed, causing a look from the girl.
"did you run away?" lucas asked the next question.
"lucas," erin interrupted a little louder in a different tone. the three boys elected to ignore her and she shook her head and rolled her eyes.
"are you in some kind of trouble?" mike asked and lucas started to ease forward to touch the girl's shirt.
"is that blood?" he asked. mike stepped forward and slapped his hand, making the girl lean back sharply.
"stop it! you're freaking her out!" mike said.
"she's freaking me out!" lucas persisted.
"i bet she's deaf." dustin said suddenly, as if the idea was genius. he stepped forward and clapped at her, making her bounce back into the couch.
dustin looked to his friends. "not deaf." he said.
"alright, that's enough, all right? she's just scared and cold." mike said looking at all three of them before looking at the girl. the thunder crashed as mike went to his laundry basket and pulled out some clean clothes.
thunder rumbled again as the girl clenched her eyes shut and shivered. erin stared at her as she remembered of how she used to do that not long ago, because she believed that thunder brought monsters.
mike walked back over. "here, these are clean. okay?" he said, handing them to her. she gingerly took them and looked at them before softly rubbing them against her cheek. erin's heart slightly melted and it showed on her face as the girl did so.
the girl slid off the jacket before she started to stand up and take off her shirt, which is the only thing she was wearing.
erin quickly stepped forward as the boys turned around and shouted, "oh my god, no, and woah" over and over again. she held the girl's hands in hers which were placed on top of the unknown girl's covered thighs. the girl stared at her with wide eyes as erin rolled her eyes at the boys in the back.
"see, over there?" erin pointed to the basement bathroom. "that's a bathroom." she felt at a loss of words until mike turned back around.
"privacy. get it?" he asked pointing as well and the girl looked to dustin and lucas and then back to erin and mike.
