Part 5: Home

We got back to his house and I was greeted by a pit bull as soon as he walked inside. "I don't remember you being a dog person." "I wasn't, but she needed a home so I took her and I fell in love with her." "Does she have a name?" "Faye, her name is Faye." "I like that name." I looked down and she was short haired and black with a white patch on her chest. She looked a little older than a puppy I would say she was 2 or 3. She had a red collar with spikes. She was really well behaved, he must have trained her well. She was giving me kisses and all the love in the world, I loved her. "I think Faye likes you." "I love her too…. ummm there's a problem I don't have clothes for school." "Oh crap I forgot ha you can borrow my clothes for now and I'll wash what you're wearing and you'll wear that for school tomorrow. We will go shopping after school for clothes." "Ok." I walked into the room I was staying in. It was small, but big enough for me. It had a bed and a nice closet. The walls were xanadu and the floor was dark wood. It was nice and not too overwhelming. I started getting undressed. As I started taking my shirt off I saw the scar of the knife when mom stabbed me. It stretched from my left side of my waist, up across my chest to my right side. I didn't realize she pretty much completely cut me open. I saw all the stitches they had to do so I could live. I took my leggings off and realized she must've cut my legs too because there were scars all over them, but they weren't that big. They were just a lot of small ones all over my legs. I just put my brothers hoodie and sweatpants on so I didn't have to look at it. "Here's my clothes for you to wash." "Ok… so my clothes I gave you fit." "There big, but they'll work for today." "Ok good because those are the only clothes I have that I thought might fit you." I sat down on the couch mentally exhausted from everything that happened. Faye jumped up on the couch and laid across my lap. "Hey kiddo why don't you go to bed it's been a long few days you could use the sleep. I'll set your clothes on the dresser when they're done." "Yeah ok." I walked to my bedroom and Faye followed me. I laid in bed and Faye came and laid next to me. It all hit me all of a sudden that I could've died just a day ago. I just hugged Faye and started to cry into her fur. She turned toward me and gave me a kiss on the cheek and tried to cheer me up. I guess that night I cried myself to sleep because before I knew it I was asleep on Faye's shoulder.
