After our little heart to heart session, we get out of the pool and clean up everything.

I was absolutely exhausted from today's events. I could see that Mitch and Scott were also very tired. I helped anyways because they threw a party for me. They barely even know me and they did this. I still couldn't believe it.

"I found this really interesting show on Netflix. I think it's called Stranger Things. You guys wanna watch it when we're done?" Scott spoke up after a long silence.

"Sure!" I say cheerfully even though I knew I was going to fall asleep any moment now.

"Yeah sounds good." Mitch chirped from the kitchen.

We finished up and headed to the living room. Mitch and Scott were already sat down when I got there.

I look around to see where I should sit.

Mitch pats the space in between him and Scott. A small smile shows on my face. I walk over to the couch and plop down in between them. Scott reaches down and grabs a blanket which he throws over the three of us. Then he grabs the remote and starts the show.

"Scotty turn the lamp off please." Mitch says over my head.

"Anything for my queen." Scott replies as he lunges to the side and clicks the lamp off.

All three of us prop our feet up on the wooden coffee table and focus our eyes on the TV.

Mitch puts his arm around my shoulders and pulls me closer to him. I rest my head on his shoulder.

I breathe in his scent. He smells like autumn. A mix of warm vanilla with nutmeg and pumpkin. Even though he's been in the pool most of the day, I can still smell that scent. It fills my lungs up.

He rests his head on mine. I can feel my eyes getting heavier and heavier but I don't allow them to close.

"Hey I wanna cuddle too!" Scott whines, pouting his lips.

"Come here big boy." Mitch says with a soft chuckle.

Scott scoots down closer to me. His arm is long enough to reach Mitch's shoulder that's farthest away from him. I move my head down to Mitch's chest and lay it there. Scott then rest his head on Mitch's.

"Better?" I ask Scott.

"Much." He replies. He pulls up the blanket so it covers more of our bodies. He rests his hand on mine. His thumb moving back and forth on the top of my hand.

I feel so warm. Inside and out. I let my eyes close finally. I tell myself that I'll just close them for a minute and then I'll open them again. I knew that wasn't the case. I knew I was going to fall asleep. So I did. I fell asleep to the beating of Mitch's perfect heartbeat. His chest slowly rising and falling. I fell asleep to Scott's thumb gently rubbing my hand.

I feel safe. I am safe.

I fall asleep for what felt like a handful of minutes when I notice there wasn't  a body on my right side. The warmth wasn't there anymore. I still had my head resting on Mitch's chest but his head wasn't on mine. Where did Scott go? I hear soft giggles.

"Shhh, you're gunna wake Rachel up." Scott whispers.

"She's fast asleep." Mitch replies.

"Mitch why don't we just tell her. We know she's not gunna tell anyone."

"I know she won't tell anyone. I'm  just waiting for the right time. Okay?"

"Okay."

I feel Mitch move a little. I look over and see that he's resting his head on Scott's shoulder. Scott whispers something in Mitch's ear. I couldn't make out what he said because he was whispering. Then Mitch does the same. All I could hear was, " ....you too."

Thoughts fly around my mind.

What do they need to tell me? When are they going to tell me?
Why haven't I figured this out yet?

I tried not to stir but I could feel my body slightly shaking. I was nervous and scared.

Are they going to kick me out. Is that what it was? Where would I go?

My thoughts were interrupted by Mitch's voice.

"Scott I think Rachel is cold. We should put her in bed."

"Should we wake her up?"

"No, just carry her. Poor thing is probably exhausted."

I pretend to still be asleep. It's true I was exhausted but I wasn't asleep. I just didn't want them to know that I was awake while they were talking.

I felt something move and then Scott was right in front of me. He removed the blanket and I instantly got goose bumps.

Mitch helps him position my body so he could pick me up. Scott slides one arm on the back of my neck and the other under my knees. He picks me up bridal style with no effort. Mitch places my head against Scott's chest. Scott maneuvers my body through the living room and up the stairs. Mitch opens the door to the room and opens the bed. Scott gently places me down on the bed and covers me.

"You know, I couldn't imaging living her life. I feel so bad for her." Scott says softly. He gently brushes a piece of hair out of my face as he says this.

"Poor baby. She too young to be going through something like this." Mitch whispers loud enough that I could hear him.

"Mitch I'm so glad we found her."

"Me too."

I feel Scott move away and he walks out. I didn't hear Mitch walk out.

I feel a small breeze as he moves closer to me. He bends down and gently places a kiss on my temple. He stayed there for a minute then walked out, slowly closing the door behind him.

I wanted to reach him before he left and give him a hug and say thank you, but I couldn't. I was too busy holding back tears.

I was scared about what they were keeping from me but also so amazingly happy that they care for me that much. Me. A stranger who has been staying at their house for not even a week.
