The person taking care of me

-The next day

"So, are you feeling better now?" He said as he gave her another dose of medicine.

"Yeah...., even tho I don't understand why are you taking care of me..."

Shane sighs a little in frustration.

"If it weren't for me, who knows what might have happened to you. Other than that you were extremely close to the road without clothing." He tucks the medicine away.

"..."

There was no response on Samantha's part, in fact, she is still wondering how she ended up in that situation in the first place. Apart from that, she looks different now.

"But I can only guess what happened" He looks at Samantha in the eye with a serious expression. "I can only assume that you died and someone reincarnated you"

She began to think about it.

"How...?" She asks confused. He wasn't wrong about the part where she was killed, but the question is now, Who is the killer, Why was she killed, Why would someone want to reincarnate her, who reincarnated her, and for what purpose?

"I don't know that myself but..., I guess it doesn't matter now does it?" He shrugs his shoulders.

"What do you mean, it doesn't matter?" A little concerned, Samantha asks.

"Well, I guess you should be grateful that you are alive..., even though I can't say the same for your former identity..." In addition to looking away from Samantha, Shane appears to be deep in thought. "Now you have a choice to make" He stands up from his chair.

"That being?"

"If you go to your family and tell them that you are Samantha, I doubt that they will believe you, after all, you look different" He walks towards the door. "So your only option is to start a new life" He left the room. This left Samantha to think about her options carefully.

"I..."

After a moment of silence, Samantha finally made her mind up.

"I know that my family won't believe me if I tell them that I'm Samantha...., Because it's impossible for a person to somehow come back from the dead, So I guess I will stay here a little longer..." Samantha smiled sadly, her tears were threatening to come out. "But won't I just be a baggage for him? But then again I have nowhere else to go..."

- In the afternoon

Samantha was gradually getting better as time passes, on the afternoon she felt a lot better, she found it odd that she recovered in just 2 days, but she shrugged it off, 'cuz hey, she's a lot better at least. She went to the living room and found Shane sitting on the sofa with the TV on.

"How are you feeling?" Shane asks without taking his eyes off the book he has on his hands. Samantha sat down beside him.

"I'm feeling a lot better thanks to you taking care of me" She smiles and he smiled back. "It's the least I could do, you should go to rest, tomorrow we have a lot of places to go"

"What do you mean?" She asks confused.

"Well, it's not like you have anywhere else to go, right?" Shane looks at her and Samantha averted her eyes.

"That's..., true..., but then does that mean that I can stay here?" Shane nods at Samantha's question. "Besides I have a party to attend in three days, and you will have to accompany me so you wouldn't be here alone" Samantha's eyes widen, and then she remembered what Clara said 2 days ago:

"And guess what? Your favorite writer is inviting you to a party! It's in 5 days!" Her teacher looked like in any second she would jump up and down.

"But, I have no money to buy a dress or anything."

"That's nothing that you have to be worried about." He smiled to reassure her. "Don't tell me, you're going to buy me the stuff I need for the party?"

"Of course"

Samantha felt a little ashamed, not only did he took care of her, but he also is going to buy her clothes too? "Shane, I have no money to repay you, don't do this"

"Who said that you have to repay me?" He said a little annoyed. His expression turned serious, it seems that once he's set to do something, there's no backing off for him.

"Guess I can't say no to you..." Samantha gave up and Shane smiled.

"Get some rest, let's talk tomorrow" Shane stood up from the sofa and left the room.

"God, I feel so useless" Samantha complained to herself as she went to her room.

- The next day

Samantha was woken up by Shane knocking and opening the door. "I'm a bit short on time, so sorry for waking you up" He seems to be in a hurry.

"It's..., okay"

Shane open up her closet, he began searching for some "adequate" clothes for Samantha, he picked up a beautiful and expensive dress and place it on Samantha's bed.

"Huh?" Her eyes went wide at the pretty dress that Shane just picked up for her.

"That's what you're going to use today"

"It's beautiful.... and..... It looks expensive...., Is it really okay for me to use this?" She asks. "I hope that I don't have to tell you every time that it's okay" Again, he looked a little annoyed as he chuckles. "I will leave so you can get ready, I will wait for you in the dining room"

"Alright" Shane left "I will never get used to this..."

Samantha took a shower and put on the dress, Based on her new appearance it suited her, it was a dress not too long but also not too short, it was a little above the knees, she put on some leggings and boots and she also wore some short gloves, she let her hair just like she had it, after getting herself ready she went to the dining room, when Shane saw her he had the expression of disapproval.

"Let me help you with your hair" Shane braided part of her hair, but he left the rest the same. "Better, also I know that we aren't going anywhere fancy but, A bit of makeup doesn't hurt you know"

"Oh okay" Samantha was feeling weird because she never wore anything expensive, let alone wearing makeup, she rarely wore any makeup to be honest, Samantha sat down at the dining table to eat breakfast that Shane made, It was like the best breakfast she ever had in who knows how long.

"This tastes good!" Her eyes began to sparkle.

"Thanks" he smiles. After both of them ate breakfast Shane checked the time."We only have 2 hours to go shopping, Let's not waste time" "Alright" Samantha and Shane left his house. "Also I feel like walking today, The mall is not far from here, What do you say?"

"Sounds good to me" Samantha smiled at him. "Then it's settled"

And so they both walk over to the mall.
