Sam smiled and set teh bandage wrap on teh table. SHe hugged Aidan softly like a mom would adn patted his head gently. Josh set the bowl of stew before the chair Aidan was sitting at before and put a spoon there. Jay yelped happily and scurried off into hsi room, talking allowed about where he could sleep. Josh shook his head and followed him to help. Sam wrapped some bandage wrap on Anna's paw, her eyes happy.

As Sam came over and hugged him, he tensed isntantly, but didn't push her away or pull himself away. He knew he would get used to it if he stayed here long enough. As Jay showed his excitement, he smiled and then watched as Josh set the bowl down. He instantly went to it once Sam let him go and sat down once more, still holding onto his bag. It didn't really have anything in it..but it was the only possession he had that he could call his. He grabbed the spoon and ate the stew quickly, not slowing down once to actually taste it. But it was good. Once he was finished, he stood up, not sure what to do with the bowl. He brought it to the sink and started washing it there. His bag remained on the chair and he washed his hands in the sink. They were so dirty it was hard to get them clean for once. |

Sam finished wrapping Anna's paw and rubbed her ears, smiling. Setting the hound down to play with Lady, Sam looked at Aidan."I will show you where the bathroom is so you can clean up," she said gently. Maybe she could find him some clean clothes that Josh grew out of that fit Aidan. Hmm maybe in her closest. He had alotta clothes in there.

Aidan watched as she finished. She looked like she was a vet. He heard her mention of a bathroom and nodded eagerly. He had basically forgotten about his bag. All that was inside of it was a flashlight that didn't work, books he had picked up along the way, a pocket knife in case he needed it for anything, and a note his mother had written him when she had left. He looked up at Sam and then followed her to the bathroom. He would finally be clean for once...and he would try to be quick so he wouldn't waste their water. He waited patiently until then. |

Sam patted his shoulder, pointing down the hall."The last room on the left. There are towels there, sopa, and shampoo. I will get you some clothes and have Josh bring them in for you," she said."Take as long as you like." Heading into her room, she opened her closest and dug around in Josh's old clothes.

Looking to where she had pointed, he nodded and then looked back at her as she spoke.Okay..Thanks. And he really meant it...for everything she and Josh and Jay had done for him so far. He walked down the hallway, finding the door and pushing it open. He walked in and undressed, putting his dirty and ripped clothing in a neat pile on the floor. It probably dind't smell very good..so he would do something about it soon enough. He got in and turned the water on, instantly starting to wash all over and get the dirt out. One of the cuts on his shoulder stung as the sopa hit it, and he gasped gently, but let it pass. He didn't want them knowing he was in pain. He shampooed his hair, getting it clean for once, and then basically finished. It had been fifteen minutes, and he was surprisingly clean. He grabbed a towel and dried off, then wrapped it around his waist. His hair fell into his eyes and he flipped it back, swinging his head. He looked around, now worried. Where was his backpack? |

Sam found a flannel shirt that could fit Aidan, pair of underwear Josh never wore because he was a boxer boy, and some jeans that might fit him. Walking past the kitchen, she saw a backpack abd grabbed it, thinking Aidan might have some stuff in there he would need. Calling for Josh, she shoved the clothes into his arms and hooked the backpack on his pinky. Josh knocked with his foot and nudged the door open."Aidan? Sam found you some clothes," he said.

Aidan looked up as the door was nudged open, and he saw Josh, covered with a mound of clothes and his backpack in his hand. He breathed a sigh of relief and went to go help him, taking the backpack and the other things, and putting the backpack on the floor. He looked over at Josh.Thanks...uhh..What time is it? He wondered. He knew it had been late when he had been in the stable, and he felt bad that he was keeping them up late all night. He looked down in guilt and then waited, wondering what he would say. He hoped he wouldn't say anything about his bruises and scratches, which there was plenty of, but that was up to him. |

Josh looked at his watch, blinking a few times."Uh, about 1 in the mornin'," he said casually. Sam was up late reading when the dogs had started barking and he was helping Jay study for a test in school. Looking at him, he frowned alittle."Whats with the scratches?" he asked. He had plenty from owrking with the horses.

His eyes widened slightly at the time and he shifted uncomfortably.I'm sorry for keeping you up... He told him softly. He still had his rebellious side, but it was hidden for now. He didn't want to show these nice people that he was ungrateful..for he wasn't. But acting like he sometimes did around other people might make them think that. So he remained polite. Hearing the question, he looked down at his shoulder.Nothing..they're just from being on the run.. And it sounded like the truth. But it wasn't. His father had followed him for a good long time after he had ran away, and he had found him a week ago. That's why they were so fresh. But his father had been arrested after that, and he had died two days ago, from what he saw in the paper. His mother had died when he was little, and he been alone with his monster of a father since now. But now he was gone, and he was fine with that. Josh might have believed him if the mark on his stomach didn't resemble a fist. But it did..and he had put the clothes down, not realizing he was revealing it. |

JOsh looked at the other wounds and bruises, his face worried, but left him alone. He patted hsi shoulder."The everything should fit but Sam wants to know if most of the pants fit," he said."If you don't like the shirt, you cna tell her and she will find you s different one." Turning around, he left, going into the kitchen to grab something to drink. Jay bounced by, singing softly in Irish.

He nodded and stood still as he patted his shoulder. He had cringed slightly, thinking he was going to get hit, but he relaxed remembering Josh wouldn't hurt him. He got changed and then peeked his head out the door.Uhhh..Sam? The pants didn't fit. He was able to fit his closed fist in the space between his stomach and the jeans. It didn't mean that Josh had been overly large..it meant Aidan was far too skinny for a boy his age. He hiked them up and held them tight while he waited for her. He didn't mind the shirt...it was fine for now. And it was clean...so that was a plus. It swallowed him up a bit, but it was the pants that he was most worried about. If he let go, they would fall right to the floor. He waited for her patiently. The door was open, so she would know it was alright to come in. |

Sam walked over, covering a smile."They don't fit.. do they?" she asked, knowing the answer. Jay stopped and looked up at Sam."He could wear a pair of my pants," he said cheerfully, but Sam shook her head."I don't think so Jay. Your a bean pole," she said teasingly. Jay glared at her and scurried into his room, carrying a box of cookies.

He looked at her in exasperation. He would just have to wear his pants for now...but they were a bit big as well. He wouldn't ask them for anything else. He shrugged.Do you have a belt or something? He asked in good humor. They belt would help keep them up, and he dind't want to put his old clothes on. Still holding onto the pants a bit, he bent down and shoved his dirty clothes into his backpack, zipping it close. He didn't know what he was going to do with them anyway. He looked back at her and heard Jay's suggestion. He was skinny..but Jay was smaller and Aidan wouldn't be able to fit into his jeans..unless he had a pair that was too long for him. He looked up at Sam, wondering if she had any ideas. |
