APRIL groaned when she felt someone shake her. She slowly opened her eyes, before trying to blink the sleep away. She looked over to see Saraya sitting up.
"Is something wrong?" April asked, her voice filled with sleep.
"Bathroom?" Saraya asked, her eyes shifting around the room. She looked at April, and her face fell. She shook her head. "S-sorry."
April smiled softly. "It's okay. You can go whenever you want. You don't need permission."
Saraya looked at the door, then back at April. She frowned softly, before nodding. She moved out of the bed and grabbed her clutches. She kept her line of sight to the ground.
April stood up from the bed and stood in front of Saraya. "Hey, I'm not going to hurt you," she whispered, placing her hand on Saraya's.
The younger girl looked up, a small smile on her face.
She nodded and slowly walked out of the hall and to the restroom. April stood at the doorway of her bedroom, keeping an eye on her. She smile whenever Saraya would look back to make sure she was still there.
Saraya hobbled back a few minutes later. April followed her back to the bed.
"You don't have to scared anymore," April said, after they both got comfortable on the bed.
Saraya's eyes connect with hers, before nodding. April soon fell asleep.

This time, the sun woke her up. She opened her eyes and looked over to her side, to see Saraya still sleeping. April stared, as Saraya's body rose with every breath. April could hear her blow the air out of her mouth. April smiled and sat up.
Saraya scrunched up her nose and groaned, but didn't wake up. April slowly got out of the bed and grabbed a piece of paper.
She wrote a short note, letting Saraya know that she was going to return. She just wanted to brush her teeth. When she returned, Saraya was barely walking up. The young girl sat up, and looked around, probably not remembering where she was.
"Hey, good morning," April said, grinning. Saraya looked over to her new friend, her protector and smiled softly. "How about we get ready for breakfast?"
Saraya nodded. She grabbed her crutches and followed April to the restroom where she brushed her teeth and did what she needed to do before following her to the kitchen.
April found a note from Seth telling her that they went out to get breakfast, and to hang out in the city so Saraya could get used to being in the house. The older of the two women smiled.
She told Saraya to sit down and started to prepare their breakfast. She got the bowl, the milk, and the box of Lucky Charms. She then placed both bowls on the table and both women began to eat.
April looked up and smiled. Saraya was stuffing her face with the Lucky Charms in front of her.
"Do you know what you want to do today?" April asked. She placed her spoon down and gave the younger girl all of her attention.
Saraya shook her head.
April smiled. "You know the stories I have been reading you?" A nod. "Well, there are movies. If you want to watch them."
Saraya nodded her head, her cheeks puffed out.
April chuckled and nodded her head. Saraya looked down at her bowl. She had eaten all the oats, leaving the marshmallows. April ate whatever was on her spoon, but she watched the younger girl with interest.
Saraya poked a marshmallow.
"You know, the faster you eat, the faster we can go back to my room and watch movies."
Saraya looked up at April, then back at her bowl. She lets a green marshmallow get on her spoon. She slowly ate it. She smiled and continued to eat.
April moved her empty plate to the side and just watched Saraya.
End of Me
SARAYA and April got through three movies before Saraya wanted to go to the restroom.
"Do you want me to go with you?" April asked, as she sat up.
Saraya shook her head. "No. I-I'm okay."
Saraya got the crutches and hopped out of the room. She could feel April's concerned eyes on her. But Saraya needed to do it. She didn't want April to worry about her. She didn't want April to have to put her life on hold.
She closed the door behind her. She looked down the halls. They were lonely. She took a deep breath before heading to the restroom. She heard a noise behind her. Saraya turned, but there was nothing there. She could feel her hands start to get clammy. She could start to feel her heart beat against her chest.
She moved faster to the restroom, but she feared the return of Bray Wyatt. She knew she was safe. Something about April made her feel safe, but she couldn't help but feel like she wasn't entirely safe.
She heard footsteps. She froze, as she watched a shadow of a person get closer and closer. She stumbled back. One of the crutches slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground. The sound of the crutch slamming on the ground caused Saraya to jump. She let out a scream of fear.
She fell back and covered her ears. Her eyes screwed shut. Her ankle started to throb in pain.
"No. No. I'm sorry. Please, I'm sorry." Her small body started to rock in fear of what Bray would do to her.
End of Me
APRIL wasn't paying attention to the movie. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was playing, but her eyes were on the clock on the nightstand.
She didn't want to worry, but she was. She was waiting for the return of Saraya. She was counting the seconds.
April didn't feel comfortable leaving Saraya alone. Not after all she had been through. She just sat there. Two minutes had passed and April had to grab the blankets to keep from checking up on the British-native.
Her head snapped to the door when she heard a thump. She shot up when she heard a scream. She ran out of the room when she heard a harder thump. She looked out and saw Saraya on the floor. She was on the ground, rocking her body. She was covering her ears and had her eyes closed. She kept muttering to herself.
April ran to her and pulled her closer. Saraya pushed against her. "No!"
"You're okay! Saraya, it's me, April. You're fine, I promise you, you are okay."
Saraya shook her head, as her body shook. April looked up to see Summer standing there, her eyes wide. She didn't know what to say.
"Shh," April whispered, stroking Saraya's hair. The younger girl gripped April's shirt. "You're okay. You are safe."
April smiled at the New Yorker.
"I-I'm sorry," Summer said, her face pale from fright of what had just happened.
April shook her head. "It's okay. But, can we be alone for a second? I just want to calm her down a little."
Summer nodded. She quickly walked away.
April pulled Saraya closer. "I know it may not seem like it, but you are safe. I am here for you, just remember that Saraya. Nothing is going to happen to you, not while I am here. I promise you that."
April felt the wet spot on her shirt. She knew it came from Saraya's tears. She rubbed the girl's back, while whispering into her ear.
April wondered. She really did. Would she be able to help Saraya? Would she be able to save her?
April bit her lip, as she felt a lump in her throat. She closed her eyes, hoping for the tears to not appear.
They stayed there, while Saraya calmed down. It wasn't long before the exhaustion got to Saraya.
April moved the young girl so she was leaning against the wall. April quickly went to call on of the guys. Bryan followed her and carried the sleeping girl to April's room and placed her on the bed. April told Bryan that she would meet with them in a few. The man nodded and walked out of the room.
April looked down at Saraya, who was sleep. April could see the dried tear marks on her cheek. She frowned, as she stared down at the girl.
"I wish I could do more," April whispered, as she slowly walked out of the room.
She headed to the living room, where the group of friends were sitting. She smiled upon seeing her friends.
"How is she?" Summer asked, leaning forward. Dean reached over and held her hand.
"Asleep. I-I don't know how to help her. Am I doing the right thing?"
Nikki stood up. "Of course. You are the only normal in her life. You are the reason she's not locked up. She needs you April. And you are helping her."
John smiled from his spot. He turned to April. "You saved her. And you are still helping her."
"You protect her April. And once she gets to know us, and she trusts us, we will be there to help you take care of her," Dean told her, grinning.
April looked at her friends. She couldn't stop the smile from appearing on her face. She nodded.
"Did they arrest Wyatt?"
Dean shook his head. "No. Officer Copeland said that he probably ran away."
April nodded. "I remember something. In the restroom. There were names. Maybe they helped Wyatt."
"Do you remember the names?" Dean asked, taking out his phone, ready to type up what April told him.
April nodded her head. "Luke, Erick, and Braun. He had one with Abigail. But I just assumed that was what he called Saraya."
Dean nodded his head as he wrote the names down.
Seth turned to April. "If he called her Abigail, wouldn't she think her name was Abigail? I mean, she does know her name is Saraya, right?"
April nodded her head. "I may ask her, but later when it doesn't trigger her panic attacks."
Seth nodded.
April sighed and leaned back. She didn't know what to do anymore.
End of Me
APRIL walked back to the room. She entered, and smiled softly when she saw Saraya sitting up. The twenty year old gave her a nervous smile. She scooted over, letting April sit down.
"Want to read a book with me?"
Saraya nodded. She watched as April went to her bookcase and look at the titles. She got a book and returned to bed. She sat down next to Saraya.
"I think it's time we take a break from princesses and Disney. Let's go to a hidden world in Britain. A magical world," April said, introducing the book. She smiled when she saw Saraya's eyes light up.
Saraya looked at the title. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
April looked surprise. "You can read?"
"B-Bray, taught me."
April smiled and nodded her head. She opened to book and started to read the first page. "Chapter One. The Boy Who Lived. Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much."
Saraya giggled. April continued reading. "They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they didn't hold with such nonsense."
April just continued reading. Saraya was hanging on to ever word.
…
"'I'm Hermoine Granger, by the way, who are you?'" April read, trying to copy Emma Watson's voice. She looked over to her side and saw that Saraya had fallen back to sleep.
April liked it. Reading before bed. She had seen parents do it in television shows and movies, but her parents never tried to. And it hurt, but she didn't show it. But she liked doing it for Saraya. And she didn't really want for it to stop.
She folded the corner of the page she was on and placed the book on her nightstand. They were going to finish it. She turned the lights off and got comfortable in the bed.
"April," Saraya whispered in her sleep.
April smiled, as she closed her eyes.
She knew she made the right decision. She was going to help Saraya. And she was going to do a good job with it.
