The room looked like a little girl’s dream. There was pink everywhere with a plush bean bag chair to lounge in, a big flat screen TV and a large queen-sized bed with a pink canopy.
The TV was turned on, but the volume was turned all the way down, so there was no noise in the room. Laying in the middle of the bed was a girl. She had long black hair that was thick and matted. It was thrown into a ponytail at the nape of her neck and I wasn’t sure that those tangles could come out. She was extremely skinny, and her big brown eyes held a pain and maturity that I was all too familiar with.
She was laying on the bed looking up at the ceiling lost in thought. I wondered what her young eyes had seen that was causing her to be in such deep thought. She turned her head and looked over at us. When she noticed me, she sat up and huddled in the corner of her bed. I took a tentative step towards her and she scooted back even further.
I stopped and smiled at her, “hi—” I stopped short. I realized that I didn’t know her name. “My name is Bel, what’s yours?”
She eyed me warily and Maddey spoke up from behind me. His voice softer than I had ever heard it before, “It’s okay. Bel is my…friend. She wanted to meet you.”
The girl eyed me with her sad eyes, and I smiled gently at her again. She must have decided that I was trustworthy because in a small voice, barely above a whisper she said, “Jazmine. Maddey calls me Jazzy.”
I looked back at Maddey and grinned, “he does, does he?” I arched my eyebrows at him, and he looked away grunting something under his breath.
I turned my attention back to Jazzy, “can I sit by you?”
She nodded her head and kept her eyes on me with each step that I took. I sat next to her on her plush pink bed. Up close I could see how young she was. She looked to be no older than ten years old. She was clutching a tattered blanket in her hands. “What’s that you have there?”
“My blankey,” she simply said while studying my face.
I smiled, “I have one of those, too. My best friend gave it to me when I had nothing else. It comforts me when I’m afraid and I don’t go anywhere without it.”
She clutched it closer to her body, “It protects me,” she said in a small voice.
“From what, sweetie?” I asked, hoping I wasn’t pushing her too far, too fast.
Her eyes fastened on mine for a moment and she wrinkled her brow as if she was deciding if she wanted to tell me or not. “From bad people.” She finally answered.
My heart sank, but I kept a smile on my face. A part of my heart, felt for hers. I could sense the pain in her, but I prayed that my gut was wrong.
