Mias POV
I feel like I am sleeping on clouds. This bed is so comfortable. I sit up and a wave of dizziness over takes me. God my head kills. I try to remember the details of last night. I stumble out of bed and into the bathroom. This bathroom is bigger then any bathroom I have ever seen. There is a huge claw foot tub and large walk in shower with two shower heads. There is a spare tooth brush on the counter and tooth paste. Thank god my teeth feel nasty. I brush my teeth and no my business. I look at the clock. Omg it’s 7:20am I was supposed to be at work at 7. I open the door to my room and find the man who saved me last night about to knock.
“Hi, how are you feeling” he asks. “I’m doing much better thank you. I have to get going I was supposed to be at work 20 mins ago.” I say slightly panic at the end. “I was hoping we could talk before you left” he said quietly. “Do you have a phone I can use so that I can cal my boss?” I ask. He hands me a phone and quickly type in Mrs. Stones cell phone number. She answers on the third ring. “Hello Mrs. Stone is Mia. I was jumped last night in the alley and won’t be in today. Yes I’m fine. I will see you later.” I hand up and hand the phone back to him.
“So what did you want to talk about” I say sitting down on the bed. “Well for starters what were you doing in the alley last night? You said you live in a*****e room?” He asks. “I was closing up and taking out the trash from Stone Bakery where I work and live” I say like it’s normal. “Why do you live in a*****e room? How old are you Mia?” He asks quietly. I live in a*****e room because it better then the street and I’m 17. Soon to be 18 next month.” I state proudly. I am not ashamed of begging homeless or living the way I do. “Did you run away?” He says with sadness in his eyes. I sigh “yes I did. I left Georgia a few weeks ago. I couldn’t stay there anymore”. “Dr Pins told us about the scars he saw on your body” he says looking at me but I couldn’t look him back in the eyes. I didn’t know how to respond. He could tell that he made me upset. “Hey hey hey it’s alright. I don’t care why you left. I’m just glad your safe.” He says to me with a smile. Why does he care that I’m safe? Who is this guy? No one cares me. I was a mistake.
“Why do you care anyways. We don’t even know each other” I state to him. “Because I want to get to know you. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and you have strong personality. I would like to explore this more” he says and he caresses my check. “Let’s get you come breakfast and we can get to know each other a little bit more” he says while extending his hand for me to take.
