Darek turned in and shut the car off. He listened for a few minutes to the rain before going in. He came out a few minutes later with a bag of food and drinks. "Like I said" As he closed the door. "It's none of my business, but you can't keep stuff like this to yourself. It's not good." He put the bag on the arm rest in between them.

Vivian took her drink and sipped it. "You're already doing enough for me by helping me right now..." She closed her eyes and sighed softly. "My parents were suppose to be separated... but my mom took that cheating son-ova-bitch back... He's a cheater, he's a lier, he abuses..." She started venting. The tears were rolling freely now. She shook her head, "I can't go back there..." She leaned her head back and gave another sarcastic laugh, "I shoved him, Darek... then he pinned me to the wall by choking me... My mother did nothing!" She yelled and clenched her fists.

"Well, my parents should be home by now. So if you need a place to stay we have an extra room." Darek had finished a sandwich and started the car back up. "That's if you don't have a place to stay though."

Vivian shook her head, "No, I don't want to intrude on you and your family..." She grabbed her sandwich and unwrapped it. "We just met, I... I don't want to do this to you." She stated and took a bite out of her sandwich.

"Even if we've only known each other for just a day, I can't let you just wander the streets at night. Especially in the rain. My parents won't mind and I'm sure you could use some dry clothes." He said as he started up the car. He didn't back out but rather waited.

Vivian quickly finished the sandwich and sighed heavily, "You're not going to give up, are you?" She laughed slightly. "I'll go.. but just for tonight." She stated strongly. "I'll stay somewhere else tomorrow..." She muttered under her breath. She began to wonder... did her father leave marks on her neck. At that thought, she winced and frowned.

Darek had pulled out and started the drive home. He had stayed quited until he pulled unto the driveway. "Well this is it." He said as he shut the car off and opened the door. He waited for Vivian to step out before he locked the car.

Vivian opened the door and stepped out, "Nice home." She commented softly and quietly shut the door. She pulled her hood up to escape some of the rain. She walked around the car to his side to follow him into his house.

He locked the door and walked up to the house letting Vivian in first before following. "Mom, Dad, I'm home and I brought a friend." He called out after kicking off his shoes. He turned to Vivian. "Stay here while I go talk to them."

Vivian nodded and slid her shoes off. She leaned against the door and sighed softly. Her mind wondered back to replay the scene again.

Darek went into the living room where his parents were. Mom: So who's your friend. "Her name is Vivian. Listen she's having some problems at home and needs a place to stay and I offered the guest room. And well...." Darek said as he stood in front of his parents. Mom: That's fine. Does she have any clean clothes? Darek: No, she was kinda walking along the side of the road when I went to get something to eat.
After a breaf conversation between Darek and his parents he came back to the front hall. "My mom's getting the room set up and getting you a clean set of clothes to sleep in. I'll show you the bathroom so you can change." He turned and started to head down the hall.

Vivian followed at Darek. She glanced around the hall, then let her eyes fall to look at the floor; watching his feet so she knew when he would stop. "I really do appreciate this... Please tell your mom I'm in debt to her. And you too." She smiled slightly as she looked up from the floor.

"You don't have to owe us anything." Darek's mom came walking out of the bedroom. "Here's a change of clothes and I'll wash those when you change out of them." She smiled as she handed the clothes to Vivian.

Vivian looked at her and bowed her head in thanks, "I will still be indebted to you." She smiled and took the fresh change of clothes. "I'll be real quick to change." She stated, went into the bathroom and changed quickly into the new set of clothes. It was a baggy t-shirt and old pair of pajama pants. Vivian looked at his mom and held her clothes out, "Thank you."

"You don't have to worry about that." Darek's mom took the clothes and left. "I'll have them ready for you for tomorrow."
"You don't have to owe us anything. Here's the room you'll be staying in." Darek led Vivian to the guest room and showed her in. "I'm right down the hall on the left while my parents are on the at the other end."

Vivian looked at her cell and checked the time, "Turning in already? It's quite early..." She smiled slightly, then frowned. "Actually.. I think I will turn in now..." She gave him a half-hearted smile, went into the room and gently shut the door. She walked over and sat on the bed.

Darek went to his rooma dn grabbed the book he was reading earlier and started to read some more of it. After about an hour he put the book up and stared at the ceiling for a little bit.

Vivian laid on her side and sniffed. She was so sick of crying. her eyes were definitely red and puff. She cried herself dry. She sat up in bed and looked around. She swung her feet out from beneath the sheet, tip-toed to the door, opened it and glanced down the hall. She left her room and headed towards Darek's. When she reached his door, she lightly knocked on it.

Darek got up and opened the door. "Need something?" He asked as he opened the door more to let her in.

Vivian silently walked past him, "I... just wanna be in some company..." She walked over and sat at the end of his bed.
