Arus stood there waiting patiently for Lexi. Smiling the whole time as he was happy today. For once he wasnâ€™t walking to school by himself. He had a friend which he was walking to school with. That made him very, very happy. He wasnâ€™t aware that he had a grandmother. That his most prized possession was actually a family heirloom. He had been mistreated, abused, and neglected since he was little. He bore scars on his back and side from some of his fatherâ€™s abuse. His father had even used a whip on him before. Breaking open the skin with repeated lashings of it. He brightened up even more when she came out. â€œIâ€™m great. I am happy that you are walking to school with me today. I looked forward to it all night long.â€ He waited for her to come out all the way before walking towards her.<br/><br/>He didnâ€™t know what a hug was. He had never received a hug in his entire life. His entire life had been bad luck and abuse. His mother constantly belittled him. As a three year old he had to beg on the street for food or money for food. Usually going long periods of time without food. His father constantly beat on him. Heâ€™d almost killed him several times. So finally having happiness was something he treasured greatly. He was happy for it every second that he had time with her. When she was ready he turned and began walking. â€œWant me to play the piano for you more Lexi?â€ He asked curiously. â€œWeâ€™ll get there early enough for me to do so.â€ He said with a happy smile.
