I must trust someone...Sue

I heard it the first time as I got to my room, the sound of large wings against the window? ...moving quickly I grabbed my duffel and filled it with what I thought I might need most..having been on the street before I understood what might be before me, but, anything was better then her.
I sat weeping thinking of how I must have hurt Sam leaving him standing alone at the reception...above all I dont want to hurt him or interfear with the sweet vunerable young man he is...yet so believing in goodness even in his own parents.
 Across my room I looked sadly the owl collection I knew I would have to leave behind...
as I looked up Sue entered my room...Sue in all her glory, a lifer here she had a confidence about her that was contagious, I liked her the minute I met her. she was always kind to me and had introduced me to some wicked fun the years we had spent together here as fellow girls in the "homes". Above all I trusted her.
Behind her came Sammy my Sammy. She snuck him in and here he was looking at me with those big brown eyes and that soft curl of hair. I didnt see anger or fear but something other worldly like he was looking at me with the owls eyes....and love. I wanted to embrace him and never let go.
Sue broke the moment with her words. "Hey, girl! Where do you think you're going?"
Sue startled me and I was beginning to object her request to go to her room, knowing I must go quickly before they come for me. But the sound again against the window got my attention long enough for her to lead me towards her room, Sam taking my bag we left with the sound of wings leading the way...
everything seemed to move quickly and Sue had Sam go into the cubby in her room with some blankets and pillows as it might be a long night ...told him to wait for me and I saw the sadness as I left to talk to Sue alone. As I have said I trusted her, Sue and I went down the hall and talked for some time ...I told her the truth knowing she had already heard my bad dreams from down the hall more then once and having seen the injuries I came here with. Sue knew I must be protected.
I also confessed my love of Sam to her and my worry that he would be hurt. She teased me about the "love nest" he was making as we spoke...But understood my fear and promised to help.
As I went back to her room I hugged her dearly and thanked her for her help...Sam opened the door and in I went
...Sue told him she would make her brother cover for him at the boys dorm and with a promise to be careful and a smile that made me blush, she shut the door and was gone...into the night Sam and I went together.
