"I'm sorry, I only wanted to help please inhale girl please."

After a few agonizing seconds, she calms down making me relax a bit.

Handing her, her food and milkshake, she gives me a small smile in return.

Does she even eat properly? Looking her up and down from close you could see she doesn't.

If its her choice, I don't know.

Taking a few chips and popping them into my mouth, she finally speaks making me almost gawk at her and choke on my food.

"She always hits me, but s-sometimes she sends her squad to do the dirty work. I don't have the guts to stand up to her. I mean look at me, I'm too weak." Her eyes close and open as she tries to blink away tears.

She reminds me so much of me when I was in high school.

"Hey! you're not weak. If anything you're strong." until she breaks you completely. But I didn't add the last part.

I don't need more hysterics or crying. I just can't handle it.

We sat in silence for I don't know how long looking up to see she finished all her food and milkshake I proudly smiled.

"Where do you stay?" I asked wanting to drop her off.

But yet again she panicked...like damn girl you're gonna give me a heart attack.

"Please just drop me off at the bus station.."

What the fuck?

There's something off here and it ain't me.

She's flipping cause I want her off at her house? Does she even have a home?

"Why are you panicking? Do you have a home?" I asked I didn't mean it like that it just came out.

"Y-yes I do!" She stammered.

Mmm okay then.

"Which bus station?" I asked.

I'm still having one of those bad feelings about this situation... But there's just so much I can do...at least for now.

"The one right in front of the mall please." She replies looking down.

"Do you want to stay at my house for the night, it's kinda big and I have guest bedrooms. Its only if you want...?" It just came out, this girl is my weakness like seriously, I'm feeling like an overprotective mom.

She gawked at me.

What is she thinking...

"It's only a gesture!" I exclaimed, Laying my head...against the steering wheel trying to calm my throbbing headache."I'm not into girls if that's what you're thinking."I mumbled.

I'm so tired I could kiss my bed right now, this is so overwhelming in so many ways.

"Are you sure?" She asks making my head snap up.

"About?" I hope it's not a straight question.

"Me staying for the night?"

Oh, thank goodness this was almost awkward.

"Totally." I replied with a warm smile.

"Then yes I'll like that, that, thank you."

I couldn't help but smile at her face lighting up.

"Okay let's go." Starting up my baby we make our way to my home.

There are so many questions but no answers.

I had so many rules for myself and one of them was never to show any kindness to anyone but with her, it's like I try to protect myself in some way.

I just have to it's this for both of us, I have to protect her.

Stopping in front of the security gates the guards check my license plates, it's kinda annoying seeing as I'm the owner of this house and their boss but I guess it's just security.

"Welcome back Miss, so soon?" Peter asks.

I know everyone by name it's just something I do.

I treat them all equally and I expect them to treat me like any other but still have respect.

"Thanks, Peter, yeah I guess things got a little heated that's all."

Opening the gates so I can drive through, I make my way down the long gravel road to my home.

It doesn't feel like my home but what the hell it's mine.

"Wow, it's beautiful!" Jane exclaims.

She's excited like really excited.

I chuckle at her response, she looks like a small child receiving sweets, how cute.

"Thanks."

"You live here?" She asks.

I can understand why she's so freaked. This house was huge and I was the only one living here, I don't have chefs or maids but I do have a gardener.

I don't like people around me so I handle everything on my own.

Jane pulled me out of my thoughts when she whispers my name.

"Jessica?"

"Oh yeah sorry, yes I do...?" Sounding more like a question I was so lost in thought that I completely forgot about her question.

"Wow!" She breathed."You're so lucky!"

"I guess..." I mumble in return.

Pressing the button to my garage it opens slowly, I should invest in a bigger motor this won't do for long.

After about two minutes the door completely opens, parking my car next to my jeep I close the door again.

Once the door fully closes I look to my side to see Jane gawking.

"Uhh, you okay?" I asked.

She looks frozen.

"I-yeah it's just wow." She giggles making me chuckle in response.

"Thank,s lets get inside..." Opening my door I wait for Jane to get out so I can lock my baby.

Once she got out we make it through the glass doors leading to the living room.

A gasp comes from my left, looking to Jane who stands next to me in awe.

Don't get me wrong this house is beautiful but it's nothing compared to most of my neighbors.

"Do you live alone?"

"Ye, ah I do," I replied.

Where's your parents?"

That made me freeze, my parents are still a raw spot and I haven't talked about them since they died.

"They.....die," I whisper weakly, blinking rapidly to get rid of the tears that threatened to roll down.

"I'm sorry," Jane whispers pulling me into a hug, making me freeze twice in a minute.

I don't like to be touched I'm not used to it.

Feeling awkward I tap my hand lightly against her back.

"Err let's get you some clean clothes." I just needed to get out of this hug or whatever.

"Clothes?" She asks releasing me.

"Yip follow me."

Making my way up the stairs down the hall to the last room on my right I open the door to reveal a baby pink room.

It was mine...

When I was younger.

Innocent...

Soft.

"Is this your room?" Jane breathes liking what she sees.

"Was..."

"Was?" She asks confused.

"When I was 14, my mother prepared this room....it was my favorite color. So the night of my 14th birthday they gave me this room...." The memory still makes me smile.

"Wow."

Opening the closet to reveal all my teenage clothes, I hope it fits seeing as she's so fragile and small.

Pointing to the left I said. there are pj's, choose some and see if they fit....?"

"That's no-"

Cutting her off. "please."

"Are you sure?" She asks.

Getting kind of frustrated I just nodded, I have no use for these anymore.

I don't wear tight, short or revealing clothes.

My wardrobe consists of baggy shirts, jeans, hoodies anything that covers up.

Luckily she picks a pair of pink pj's with clouds on them and went into the bathroom that's linked to the bedroom.

Making myself comfy on the bed I lay down, my headache is killing me.

The door opens making me prop myself up with my elbows to see the pj's fitting perfectly.

Great.

"Thank you."

"No problem, you can sleep here if you want to?"

"I will love to!!" She squeals.

Great.

"Okay if you don't mind.....I'm gonna go to bed...I have a migraine that's killing me, but if you want to make yourself at home, watch TV or whatever, there's food so dig in."

Making my way to the door I turn to check if she's okay when she smiles broadly.

"You're an Angel." She breathes.

If only I was.

Turning I make my way to my bedroom, once inside I fell face fir, st and sleep took me immediately.
