He held my arm with one hand and his backpack with the other, I brought him to my car and got him in, I kissed him before I closed the door, his breath was bad. Once in the car I did not ask questions I simply drove, he held my arm the whole time, like I would leave him. Once home I got him undressed and in the shower, he brushed his teeth, cleaned himself up while I made him something to eat. When he was done his shower he came to me and I held him close to me, his head on my shoulder.
"You should have called me, or come to me if you needed help." I told him softly
Through tear filled eyes, "I'm sorry I was not sure you would take me in." with this he started to cry.
"All you had to do is ask, I would not turn you away, don't you know that." I said close to tears myself.
"I was terrified you would tell me to get lost so it was easier to live on the street." He muttered thru tear filled eyes.
"You're welcome to stay for as long as you want." I told him looking into his deep blue eyes.
He pulled me tight his head resting on my chest, I had deep feelings for this young man. Although he and I had only been together once prior, you know if someone is right for you or not. He I knew was right for me. After he ate, which I did not think would ever stop, he had not eaten in two days and what he had eaten prior to that was not good. I told him he could sleep in the spare bed if he preferred or he could sleep with me.
He chose the latter, wanting to be as close to me as possible at all times, I held him in bed we did not have sex I only held him so he would feel safe, he slept with his head on my chest, my arms wrapped around him tightly.
