Alone

Chapter 10

I nod, giving him a small smile to say thank you.

Ryder closes the door right as Damien comes outside, thankfully wearing a shirt. Ryder talks to him for a minute. I don't know what he says, but Damien gets visibly upset. It takes him a second to calm down, but eventually, he does get in the "car".

*Le Time Skip*

I don't know how long it took, but by the time the car stopped moving, I had fallen asleep. When I woke up, I was being carried inside the big building by Damien. He's cradling me just like Ryder does, but his arms seem more protective while Ryder's are more calming. I still like it just as much.

I raise my head off his shoulder and look around. We're in a huge building with a lot of small rooms along the sides. The rooms all have a ton of clothes in them, ranging from girly clothes to baby clothes to big man clothes and everywhere in between. 

Damien brings me into one store, Ryder, of course, is following behind us, and he sets me down in the middle of a ton of clothes. 

He crouches down a bit to look at me, stupid Omega genes, "You probably have a lot of questions. We're in a place called the mall. It is a big building with a bunch of stores that sell mainly clothes but other things as well. Right now, we're in Macy's to get you whatever you'd like. We'll be going to a couple of places, but we have to start somewhere. Ryder and I will take care of all of the money, your only job is to tell us what you want."

I'm honestly stunned. No one has ever taken care of me like this. I don't deserve it. I'm a piece of dirt meant to serve those around me, and yet these men are treating me like royalty. I don't understand why these men haven't thrown me to the curb already. Without thinking, I run up to Damien and throw my arms around his neck. I hug him so tightly because I'm afraid that the moment I let go I'll wake up in my cellar. It takes him a minute, but he quickly puts his arms around my waist to hug me back. Tears fall quietly down my cheeks, soaking Damien's shirt. When I pull back, I try to apologize but Damien wouldn't have it. He just smiled and wiped them away with his thumb. 

I look to the side and see Ryder standing there awkwardly. I grab his hand and gently pull it, telling him to join us. He does so quickly.

We probably looked a little weird doing our big group hug, but I didn't care. It probably took about 5 full minutes before Ryder spoke again.

"As much as I love holding you, Sweetheart, we've got to find you some clothes."

Begrudgingly, I pull myself away from the men and looked around. We were in a section that only had shirts, but it was a LOT of shirts. I didn't even know where to begin.

It took a while, but I went about picking random t-shirts that I thought looked cool. Well, that's not true. I actually picked out 3 shirts, but whenever I would look at a shirt for more than 3 seconds, one of the boys would grab it and drop it into the basket Ryder had grabbed from the front of the store. I ended up with 15 t-shirts and 15 hoodies, much to my chagrin. I don't want them spending this much money on me, but every time I tried to bring it up they refused to acknowledge my concerns.

The same thing happened when we got pants as well. By the time we left "Macy's" I had 10 pairs of jeans, 12 new pairs of boxers, a couple of belts, and 20 pairs of socks. We went to a few more stores as well, "Bath and Body Works" for soap and stuff, "Hot Topic" for some cute plushies and action figures that were apparently from something called "movies", and a couple more clothing shops until the boys were both drowning in bags. They even had to let me walk after a while as they didn't have enough arms to also hold me.

Just as we were leaving "Abercrombie & Fitch", I saw a store that caught my interest. It had a bunch of people in it, and people were playing with their hair.
