Alone

Gifts

Thunderstorm outside. Lights are out again. Rain flooding the house. Empty fridge. Nothing clean to wear. No entertainment. This is my life. My sad life. At least it's better than it was before. Back then I had it worse.

Abusive father. Uninterested mother. Twin sister murdered by abusive boyfriend. Arranged marriage to older man who you don't love. No friends. No one who cares. Yup, my life sucked back then. Now I have friends. I guess.

Enough lying around feeling bad for myself. I've gotta do something constructive while I'm stuck in the house. As I get up from the bed I hear a knock at the front door. I wobble slowly toward the door and look through the peep hole. It's Paul and Jacob. They've got bags in their hands.

"Hello! Any body home?" Paul said while knocking again. I unlock the door and slowly open it up. I stick my head out a bit to face them.

"Hi," I said shyly. Jacob waves a dvd in his hands as Paul waves a bag of chips in his.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Jacob asked. I open the door up a bit more realizing that the rain had stopped and the slight flood was gone.

"Um sure, but I don't have a dvd player. I don't even have a tv." I said with laugh.

Paul laughed and stepped to the side. There were a few boxes in a wagon.

"We kinda figured. So we went out and bought you a few house warming presents." Paul said as they walked into the house pulling the wagon with them. There was a regular sized tv with a built in dvd player, a stereo and bags that had the words Forever-21 written on them.

"That's really kind of you guys, but you didn't have to. We just met yesterday. I don't even know anything about you guys besides your first names."

"Don't worry about it. We wanted to do this for you. Well Paul really wanted to do this for you." Said Jacob as he pulled the tv out of its box.

I turned to look at Paul and he was blushing. I smiled at him and he smiled back at me. "Thanks." I said as I walked over to him and gave him a hug.

"You're welcome. Now go try these on. I wanna see if they fit." he said as he handed me the bags of clothes. I smiled and ran to my room with the bags.

There were several outfits I could make with what he got me. The clothes looked so cute. There was 2 linen pocket t's in black and white. A white tank with a floral cross, ripped in the back. A black cardigan. Navy blue and white striped sweater, a white faux leather jacket, a white denim jacket. Skinny jeans in mint, pastel blue. Camo skinny pants. Black, and floral print high-low skirts. Legging's in black, grey and leopard. High waisted shorts in blue and black. Several plain jeans. Black and white striped denim shorts. A few random pairs of socks. The last bag even had underwear and bras! What was weird is that everything fit perfect. Even the bras.

Minutes later I walked out of the room in a pair of black leggings and one of the t-shirts and a warm pair of socks.

"You look good." Jacob said as he popped the dvd into the tv which he just set up. I noticed Paul walk out of the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn in his hands. He stopped in the doorway and just stared at me.

"Thanks. By the way, Thanks for the clothes. Everything fit perfect." I said as I walked over to the one chair in the living room.

"So even the-" Jacob said as he was interruppeted with a pillow to the head. I looked at Paul and he just laughed. He was also blushing but he was trying to hide it.

"Yes even the bra's and underwear Jacob." I said with a smile trying to hide my embarrassment. "Do you think tomorrow you guys could drive me to the store. I still need to buy a few more things that I need and as you can see I don't have a car." I said.
