"Okay, um, well, how about we keep the door, just like this?" I say as I shut it halfway "Is that better?"
She then nods her head in approval
I just smile and nod at her. When I'm done I walk over to the boys who are talking in a circle.
"This is mental" Dustin tells us
"At least she can talk" Mike says
"She asked if your sister could stay, your 3 year old sister says more" Lucas says
"She tried to get naked" Dustin says
"There's something seriously wrong with her" Lucas tells us
"Okay, we don't know that for sure, maybe she's just shy" I say to them. They all just look at me. They shake their heads and continue on talking.
"Somethings seriously wrong with her" Lucas tells us
"Oh my god" I say walking away and going to sit on the couch.

Lucas and Dustin walk up the stairs and look back at Mike and I setting up the girls bed.
"Here you go" Mike sad handing her another blanket
"Bye Samantha" Dustin says walking up the stairs
"Bye Dustin" I say
Both Dustin and Lucas walk up the stairs, leaving just Mike, myself and the stranger in the room.
"Hey, um, I never asked your name?" Mike says to the girl. She pulls up her sleeve to show us what's on her arm.
011
"Is that real?" Mike asks going in to touch it. She quickly pulls back.
"Sorry I've just never seen a kid with a tattoo before" Mike tells her
"What does it mean? 11?" I ask her. She points to herself.
"That's your name?" I ask in disbelief. She nods in return.
"Eleven, okay. Well I'm Mike short for Michael and this is my sister Sam short for Samantha" My brother tells her "Maybe we can call you El short for eleven?"
She nods.
"Um, well okay. Night El" Mike says standing up
"Night Mike. Night Sam" she says looking up at us
We walk over to the stairs and turn some of the lights off and walk up stairs.
