"Buffy" Marty shouted in fear as he came just in time to catch Buffy as she fell to her knees in tears. Marty had never seen Buffy like this. She had always been so strong and confident, now she had broken apart in his arms.

Buffy pushed aside Marty trying not to be seen crying. She was so embarrassed to break down in front of him like that.

" This is the employees room, only employees are allowed here," Buffy said wiping her tears trying to get her act together.

" I'm not going anywhere and neither are you. I will not let you go out their and continue working after what that monster did to you" Marty argued seeing how torn apart Buffy was.

" You don't understand, I need this job. I need the money to pay for bills and rent, to pay for food, to pay for the bus, and to repay you for your shoes. I can't just quit, my brother depends on it and so do you"

" Forget about the shoes, you where just assault. This is not ok Buffy. I don't care about some stupid pair of sneakers, I care about you and I don't want you to be working if it means that you will sexually assaulted like this on a daily basis" Marty said letting his true emotions slipped out.

" You don't get it. Your mom is this big time successful lawyer who makes tons of money, you will never understand what it's like to wake up most days to an empty fridge. Having to make it through the day with out passing out from malnutrition. Hoping to have enough money to pay for the bus, to never see your family at all. To be all alone in the world" Buffy said breaking apart again.

Marty didn't respond. He was so surprise by what Buffy said. He never knew what she had to go through everyday.

" Your right, I don't know what that's like but what I do know is that I will do whatever it takes to help you never experience any of that for now on. My parents are out there right now arresting that guy. My mom will put everything that she has to sue that guy and to make sure he will be locked up. You don't have to worry about a single thing ok, now let's get you out of here" Marty said. Buffy felt calm after what Marty just said.

" If I take you to your house, are you going to be all alone?" Marty asked.

" My brother is out looking for a job. It will just be me" Buffy replied.

" You shouldn't be alone after what just happened. Do you want to come to my house, my mom can loan you some clothes, and you can have a nice meal with my family" Marty offered. That sounded like a dream to Buffy. She couldn't remember ever having a meal with her family. Buffy agreed to Marty's offer.

" Just as a warning my parents are very, what's the word ... Embarrassing" Marty said as he and Buffy stood in front of his house.

" I think I can handle that," Buffy said. Buffy was amazed seeing how big Marty's house was. She felt ashamed if he ever saw where she lived.

" Buffy your here. Thank god your ok. We got the situation all under control, we have that man down at the station and will hold a court hearing this week. You don't have to worry about a thing. Your more than welcome to visit here if you need any help" Mrs. Miller said welcoming in Buffy.

" Thank you Mrs. Miller" Buffy said.

" Please call me Carol, oh my let's get you some new clothes, follow me" Mrs. Miller said as she lead Buffy to her bedroom. Buffy waited as Mrs. Miller looked through her closet.

" I don't assume blazers are your thing" Mrs. Miller joked seeing that all she has in her closet are work clothes.

" You know, I can see why my son is always talking about you. You seem like a wonder young lady" Mrs. miller added.

" Your son talks about me" Buffy laughed.

" Oh we can't get him to stop, he goes on and on about you. What's this thing about a race. He made me time him while running at the park. I thinks it's adorable actually, seeing him all excited," laughed out. Buffy started growing red, she didn't know how much Marty talked about her.

" Here we go, this should fit you. The bathroom is across the hall to the right. Then after, meet us in the dinning room for a proper meal," Mrs. Miller said handing Buffy a plain t-shirt and a pair of pants.

After Buffy changed into the clothes, she met everyone at the dinning table. How convenient she thought, seeing the only chair left was next to Marty.

Buffy's stomach growled seeing all the food on the table. Mr. Miller had made roasted chicken with mash potatoes and green beans . She hasn't had a meal like this in years.

" So what's this I hear of a race" Mrs Miller asked sparking up a conversation.

" it's nothing mom," Marty said hoping not to be embarrassed by his mom.

" oh really, it's just nothing to you?" Buffy asked sarcastically.

" It didn't sound like nothing when you dragged me to the park to help you train," Mrs Miller added causing her son to grow red.

" Anyways what is this race for, is their a prize involved or something?"

" Marty was bragging about being the fastest guy at school and how a girl could never beat him. So that's when I called on a race to prove him wrong," Buffy said resulting in a gasp from

" Marty, how dare you say such a thing. I thought I raised you better than this. And I'm with Buffy on this, a girl can do anything that a guy can do, actually they can do it better" Mrs. Miller commented.

" Mom your taking her side on this" Marty said embarrassed.

" oh yeah, girl power all the way" Mrs. Miller said as she high five Buffy. They both laughed as Marty grew more red.

" I'm sorry about my mom" Marty said as he and Buffy sat on the couch watching a movie.

" Don't be, she's hilarious. I like her," Buffy replied.

" That was so embarrassing. Imagine having your parents say that to you in front of someone" Marty said. He then notice Buffy going quiet.

" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your family.I didn't mean to make you upset you," Marty said knowing he pushed the boundaries by mistake.

" No it's ok, it's fine. I don't mind talking about it. M-my dad died when I was 9 and then my mom went off into the army. It's been a while since I last saw her. Even then it wasn't for a long time, she's always moving and on the go. And then there's my brother, he's the oldest so he tries his best to make money to support me" Buffy said. Normally she didn't like to talk about this but with Marty she felt this connection. She didn't even notice that she was leaning her head onto his shoulder or that he was letting her.

" I promise I'm always here if you need any help or support," Marty said. For some reason that made Buffy feel safe. She felt safe right here in this vary moment as she laid snuggled up next to Marty, hand in hand.

A/N- does anyone have any ideas of how I could bring Andi's dad into the story? And think of the most saddest or drama packed way to introduce him, since my story is nothing but drama.
