A long day at work was never the most greatest thing to do in life, but it has to be done
As I walked home and I walked in an alleyway beacuse it was a short cut I discovered recently, but half way there I found a box and legs where poking out of it, I stoped to analyze the situation, if it's a thug then I might be robbed and beaten up
Grabbing anything I can find I decided to walk past the box, as I got closer I was able to see more of the person, once on front of the box I dropped what I had in my hands, it was a girl, she looked 2 years younger then me and she was dirty with some bruises and a black eye, she appears to be sleeping as well
My heart dropped at the sight I saw, how can someone treat a person like this, then she looked at me weakly "help...me....plea..." was all she could say, and out of instinct I carried her bridal style and ran back to my house
-time later-
After a long run I made it to my house, I layed the girl in my sofa and grabbed a glass of water to give her, I shoke her to wake her up and she opened her eyes
"Here drink this" I hand her the water and she drinker it like if her life depended on it, she finished it and I hand her a sandwich I had saved in the morning, and just like the water she ate it fast
"You sure are hungry"
"It's... it's because I haven't eaten in a week"
"JESUS! Where are your parents? I'll give them a call They must be worried sick"
"NO! please don't call them, they don't even want me, the just hit me and let me starve, so please don't take me back" she pleaded me crying at the end, I didn't know why, but I felt like I have to protect her from everything that makes her sad, so I pulled her in a hug and let her cry in my chest
"Shh shh it's ok, I won't call them"
"Really?" She looked at me in the eye's and I cleaned her tears away
"Really, I'll let you stay with me if you want" she hugged me tighter and said softly "Thank you, I promise I'll repay you somehow"
"Don't worry about it, now why don't you take a shower and I'll prepare dinner for us"
"Yes please" she said shyly
I showed her the bathroom and set the water warm for her, while she took a shower I cleaned her clothes in the washing machine beacuse I didn't have any spare clothes for her, so I'll buy her new one's on the weekend
After a short while she came out with one of my shirts on, and i can confirm she's ONLY wearing the shirt since she was pulling it down
"Um... can I have my clothes please?" My face was red seeing her bare legs, I quickly turned around and walked to the laundry machine, the clothes were now clean and dry, I went back and gave it to her facing the other side
"H-here you go, sorry I forgot to bring them to you"
After that small awkward moment, we had dinner, which was spaghetti my speciality, she ate her food just like the sandwich a gave her earlier... now that I think about it
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Hmp..." she had her mouth full, she swallowed it all and breath "my name is Chloe, sorry I didn't mention it earlier, what's yours?"
"My name is (Y/N)" Chloe had a shoked look but then shruged it off "hmm, I think I heard that name before, but I can't remember where" she said as she ate another forkfull of spaghetti
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure it's not important, so anyways would you like to go to the mall on saturday" I ask but Chloe had a confused look "what's a mall exactly?" She asked
