Leo's pov
Oh my gosh! Kamryn just kissed me!
Me- W-Wow.
Kamryn- I'm so sorry Leo! I didn't know what I was thinking!
Me- It's ok Kamryn. I really like you. Will you be my girlfriend.
Kamryn- ok s-sure.
Me- Kamryn are you alright?
She burst into tears. I wrapped my arms around her
Kamryn- do i have to meet you family leo?
Me- well, you've already met adam, but i guess you don't have to for a while yet. Why do you ask?
Kamryn- i've met analise. i know what those people did to her leo. what if that happens to me?
Me- i won't let them hurt you. even if they try to stop me, i will always find you. i will fight until the bitter end for you if thats how it has to be.
Kamryn- i don't want you to die for me leo. i'm not worth it.
Me- of course you are kamryn! you may not think that, but you are worth it. don't let anyone tell you different, ok?
Kamryn- my dad tells me that every single day. he says that i'm the reason my mom died, but it was really because of him. he abuses me.
Me- tonight when you get home pack as much stuff as you can into your backpack. i'm going to take you home with me tomorrow.
Kamryn- i can't fit anything into my bag. i have too many papers in it. and my homework.
Me- I'll do your homework for you. and just put your papers in your locker.
Kamryn- but we're out of school.
Me- oh yeah right! I'll take them for you.
Kamryn- thanks leo. this is the best thing anyone has ever done for me
Me- it's nothing Kami. Can i call you that?
Kami- sure
Me- well i gotta get home. can i have your papers and stuff now?
Kami- sure.
She took out her binders and her folders and handed them to me. There was a small black and purple book still in there.
Me- do you need me to take that for you? I pointed to the book.
Kami- no i can handle it. thanks for everything else though.
Me- yeah no problem.
Kami- leo?
Me- yes kamryn?
Kami- will your family approve of me staying with you?
Me- i don't care if they do or not i am not gonna sit back and let your dad hit you.
Kami- thanks leo.
Me- no problem Kami. if they don't like you or they try to make you leave then i'll leave with you. i won't let you be out there all on your own. i promise.
Later
I sat on my bed doing my homework. I had already done Kami's and I was copying the answers down on mine. I had already set up a sleeping bag in the corner of the room for kamryn. I still have to talk to my mom about this. I just hope that it goes well. I don't really want to leave, but i can't let kamryn live out there on her own, and i can't let her go back to her dad.
Later
Mom said that kamryn could stay for a while but we were going to have to tell the police soon. She can have my bed and i'll sleep on the sleeping bag unless she wants it. I just hope her dad doesn't find her...
Kamryn's pov
I packed my teddy bear my phone and some of my clothes into my bag. I know that I'm too old for stuffed animals, but my mom got it for me when i was born. My dad killed her when i was six, and this is all i have left of her. dad won't be back until saturday, so i can get to leo's safely. i'm glad he's letting me stay with him, but i'm afraid of his family because of marcus. i don't want him to hurt me. and adam hates me for no reason. i wonder who pissed in his cheerios...
The Next Day
No one's pov
Leo and kamryn walked in the doorway together. kamryn was mesmerized.
Kami- whoa...
Leo- *laughs* yup. i get that a lot.
Adam walked into the room. A look of disgust came on his face when he saw kamryn.
Adam- why did you bring your loser friend with you? doesn't she have a life to go off and find or something?
Kamryn burst into tears and ran out the door. She ran smack into Analise on her way out.
Kamryn- oh, i-i'm sorry.
Analise- it's fine. are you alright?
Kamryn- not really.
Analise- i didn't hurt you, did i?
Kamryn- no, it-it wasn't you.
Analise- do you wanna talk about it?
They sat leaned up against the wall and sat down.
Kamryn- adam asked leo why he brought his loser friend over here and he asked if i had a life to go off and find somewhere and it really hurt my feelings.
Analise- adam says stuff like that all the time. don't be offended by him. just whack him upside the head. that's what i do.
Kamryn- you shouldn't hit people for what they say analise. i would know. my dad does that all the time.
Analise- well we're not going to let him anymore. if he comes back for you we'll protect you. our family has a little secret. you'll understand later. you're technically part of the family now.
Kamryn- w-what kind of secret?
Analise- it's nothing bad, trust me. it's actually really good.
Kamryn- ok.
