Bosco, Faith, and Ty came back when they said they would. They found Vanni staring at a spot on the ground with her arms wrapped tightly around herself. Tears rolled slowly down her cheeks as her hair fell over her eyes. A soft humming noise came from her lips as Faith looked at Ty. Ty looked at Bosco, who had his eyes fixed on Vanni, knowing exactly what was running through her mind. He hated seeing her like this and it wasn't the first time he had, either.
His dad, her dad, both abusive. Those Boscorelli men, he though to himself. He was always the one taking care of Vanni. It was hard for her, being the only girl in the whole family. Like Bosco, though, she never got help.
"Vanni, you ready," Bosco asked, snapping Vanni back to reality.
She wiped her red eyes and gathered the bag she had been carrying with her.
She crossed her arms as they walked out of the station and down the sidewalk. It was cold, colder than she had remembered it was. They stopped at Bosco's car.
"Van...I'll come see you tomorrow, ok? I'm driving Faith home, so you'll walk with Ty, alright?"
She just nodded and Bosco let go of the door handle he had just opened.
He gave her a hug and spoke again, "You're going to be fine. I promise."
He gave her a kiss on her forehead and got into his car. Vanni stared at the blue Mustang until it disappeared.
Ty took a step towards her, using a low voice as not to scare her. "Hey...you ready to go now?"
Finally, she turned around and shook her head. They walked side by side for about ten minutes when Ty broke the silence.
"So...you from here?"
She looked at the tall man nest to her and noticed his soft features.
"Yes. The whole family lived across the street from each other."
"He seems to care about you a whole lot."
"Well," Vanni began, not sure if she wanted to give him the whole story just yet, "he was always there for me. I was the only girl out of my five other siblings. He looked out for me. He was the only one who gave a damn. When all this shit happened, I immediately came to him..."
Ty nodded, not knowing what to say to her. This beautiful young lady shouldn't be going through this, he thought.
"Well, we're here," Ty stated, avoiding the subject of her past for now.
They walked inside the building and up to Ty's apartment. He let her in first, then closed the door behind him.
"Can I take your coat?" he asked her.
"Uh...yes, thank you."
He returned to find her in the same spot as he had left her. She was staring out the window.
"Vanni?"
She jumped and looked at him.
"Are you hungry?"
She shook her head no. She couldn't eat now, after what she had seen.
"Ok...well...I'm going to." She followed him slowly into the kitchen.
"You can sit down." She silently sat down on one of the chairs and stared at the floor.
Ty stared at her for a good couple of minutes before taking his frozen dinner out of the microwave. He sat back down, removing the hot plastic off of the tray of food. God...she must have so much going on in her head right now, he thought. Ty started to eat, looking up at her every once in a while. She was playing with the end of her sleeve and biting her lip. When he was done, he put everything into the sink. When he turned back around, she was looking at him.
Her lip started to tremble and tears were building up at the bottoms of her eyes. He went over and pulled her up from the chair into a hug. She started to cry harder as she buried her face into his shoulder. Ty held her tighter when he felt her start to shake. He pulled away and looked at her, brushing a piece of hair out of her face.
"Do you want to take a shower?" he asked her softly.
She nodded yes and he led her to the bathroom. He left momentarily and came back with towels.
"Thanks you," Vanni managed to get out of her mouth as she closed the bathroom door.
Ty went to the couch and tiredly plopped down on it with a sigh. He turned the TV on and twenty minutes later, Vanni came out of the bathroom in the pajamas she had packed, hair still wet. Ty turned the TV odd and walked over to her.
"Need anything?"
Not making eye contact, she responded. "I..I w-want..."
She burst out crying before she could finish and Ty wrapped his arms around her again, letting her cry into his chest. He gently rubbed her back, trying to soothe her. She grabbed on to him tighter, seeking shelter from her thoughts. After she settled down a bit, she pulled away and looked up at the tall man in front of her. He still had a hand on her waist as she started to speak.
"Can I go to sleep now?" Ty nodded and led her to the couch.
He unfolded it out into a bed and straightened the blankets that were already covering it for unexpected company. He went to the linen closet and took out a pillow for her.
"Thank you for letting me stay here Ty."
He put the pillow and looked at her. "No problem." He gave a small smile.
"Call me if you need me, alright?" Vanni nodded and got into the warm bed.
