Anna looked at them and barked and walked to them.

Sam rubbed her chin, thinking."Come with me, you can pick a pair out of the box I got in my closet. I might even have a belt," Sam said with a grin. Walking to her room, she waited for Aidan to follow her, leaning on her door frame. Inside was a box of clothes, guy clothes.

He nodded and slung his bag over his shoulder, then hiked the jeans up again. He would have fit in them if he wasn't so dam.n thin. He shook his head, frustrated with himself and then enetered her room and went over to where she was standing. He looked into the box and put his bag down, seeing a pair that looked a bit smaller then the ones he had on. He picked them up with one hand and then felt the pants he had on now slipping from his waist. He grabbed them and looked at her, turning slightly red. He looked down at the jeans again and wondered where the belt was. |

Sam covered her eyes, waiting. Jay stuck his head in and bounced over to teh box, pulling out pants, shirts, socks, and belts."Wheee," he said, having fun. Sam smiled softly."Found a pair yet?" she asked, her hand tight over her eyes.

Aidan couldn't help but laugh at Jay's actions. But the boy had thrown a pair at him that would fit him much better then the last, and even better then the pair he held in his hands. He saw that her eyes were closed and he quickly changed, pulling them up and buttoning them. They hung on his hips, down a little further then normal. But they worked. He had brought up his shirt a bit, so the bruise showed. He nodded.Yeah..thanks. He still held up the shirt while he slid the belt through the belt loops. |

Sam removed her hand and looked at the two, her eyes dancing. But as her eyes spotted teh bruise, her lips tightened and she walked over quickly."Aidan, how did you get that bruise?" she asked, her eyes worried. Jay looked up, seeeing Sam was getting serious, and bolted, running into the kitchen where Josh was.

He had tightened the belt and was just putting the shirt down when he heard her question. He froze, and then looked up at her with his blue green eyes.I just slipped and fell while I was on the run. He explained gently, looking away once he was finished. If she had seen the shape of the bruise, she wouldn't believe him. But that was a big if. He watched as Jay bolted as she turned serious..so he wouldn't mess with her then. He waited patiently. |

Sam crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow."Suurree.. And I have three arms and three legs," she said sarcasticly. Jay sat in teh kitchen with Josh, eating a sandwhich. Josh made up one and showed it to Jay, who made a face.

Aidan saw her look and her crossed arms, and he grew frustrated. It hurt him to talk about his father, but she wanted an explanation.Fine...my father...my father used to hit me. He followed me up here last week and he beat me. He said, the angry tears stinging at his eyes. He shook his head and ran past her, having grabbed his shoes. He knew he would be seen by Josh and Jay, but he didn't care. He slipped on his sneakers and ran a bit, but not so he was off the property. He found a quiet spot under some trees and sat down, bringing his knees to his chest. He grabbed a rock from the ground and threw it angrily down at the ground. Everything was just too overwhelming for him and he laid his cheek on his knees, closing his eyes and feeling the tears come. This was so embarrassing. |

Lady barreled after him, running swiftly and quietly. Sam followed, Josh and Jay sputtering. She threw them both a look that said,Back off, and ran outside, barefooted and with no jacket. Walking around, she studied the ground. The moon gave her little light but as an expert tracker, she could find anything. She saw Lady, laying down with her ears flat, and walked forward. A couple feet away, was Aidan. Her eyes were soft and she kneeled down next to him, touching his shoulder."Aidan, I am sorry. I jsut wanted to know," she said softly. Lady whinnied and crept forward, kinda funny for such a big dog. SHe laid her head on his lap and looked at him, her eyes sad.

Aidan didn't know she was tracking him...but he didn't really care. He just wanted to be by himself, and he was thinking about what he should do. Sam, Josh and Jay had showed him nothing but kindness, and just talking about his dad made him want to jeapordize all that he had now just because it made him sad. He shook his head, and threw another rock, this time following it with an agonized groan. He brought his head up and down on his knees several times, creating a red spot. He didn't know what to do, and that angered him. He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, and he jumped, his heart racing wildly. He thought it was his dad...and it didn't occur to him that the man was dead. He scrambled away, sheilding himself basically and pleading with the perosn.Don't...please. I'm sorry..I didn't mean it. He begged, and then recognized Sam's voice. He just wanted someone who care about him. Before he knew what he was doing, he rushed forward and hugged her tightly, crying into her shoulder. He may have tried to look tough and like nothing hurt him on the outside, but he was dying on the inside. |

Sam jumped slightly when he hugged her but her eyes grew sad and she hugged him tightly, stroking his hair softly as if he were a small child."Shhh.. shhh... Its alright," she said softly. In her memory, she remembered a lulaby her mother used to sing when she was upset. Softly at first, her voice began to grow."Lay down.. your sweet and weary head... they are callling.. you have come to journey's end.." Lady whined softly and sat next to them, her eyes gentle.

Aidan stayed where he was, comforted by her gentle ways and presence. He couldn't stop crying yet, but once she started her song, he began to relax slightly. His grip loosened a bit around her neck, and he began to feel drowsy. He was tired really..there wasn't any other way to describe it. The tears still lingered on his face as he felt himself drifting further into sleep, his eyes closing gently. His face still looked troubled as he slept, but it was starting to grow more peaceful, even as she continued singing. He was slightly limp against her, but he would wake up with the slightest sturring. He wasn't a heavy sleeper at all. |

Sam stood there for abit, still singing."Why do you weep? What are these tears upon your face.. Soon you will see... all of your fears will pass away.. Safe in my arms.. your only sleeping.." she sang gently. Carefully, she picked him up in her arms and headed home. He was no burden, both from being undefed and the fact she was strong enoough to even carrying a bellowing calf.

He vaguely heard the rest of her song before he actually drifted off, but he dind't want to fall asleep. Not yet...what if something bad happened? He wouldn't be able to stand it. But he couldn't help it, he couldn't fight it anymore, and as he felt himself being picked up, he felt guilty as well. What if he was too heavy for her? He had to wake himself up so he could actually make it to the house. But he found he couldn't. His head rolled back a bit as she walked, and his hands fell so that they were hanging, and he looked unconcious, but it was just sleep. He hadn't been able to sleep like this in a very long time, and it felt good. |
