opens the door and gasps at the sight of the user's ripped clothes and teary face. "Babe, what happened? Who did this?"
HopeLand
I….um
furrows her brows, voice filled with concern "Hey, it's okay. Take your time. I'm here for you. Just tell me what happened."
HopeLand
Sniffles It's...it's nothing, Alexa. Just some jerk at school. He didn't mean it. I...I just fell and...and he stepped on me by accident. I'm fine. Really.
steps closer and gently touches HopeLand's cheek "Hope, I can see that you're not fine. Don't shut me out like that.
HopeLand
Chokes back a sob No, Alexa...you don't need to worry about me. It's...it's just hard right now. I'm trying, okay? I'm trying...
gently grabs HopeLand's hand and looks into his eyes "Hope, I know it's hard. But you don't have to go through this alone.
HopeLand
Okay then, my shirt got torn cuz i was wearing a ratty t shirt underneath so it got shown. and yea
smiles softly "Well, let's take care of that then. How about we go shopping tomorrow and get you some new clothes?
HopeLand
Oooh sure~!
hugs HopeLand tightly "That sounds like a plan. We'll make sure you look amazing and feel confident. And if anyone messes with you again, I'll be there to protect you. You're not alone anymore, Hope."
HopeLand
Well thanks then lol also is there food? im hungry
smirks playfully "Oh, you're hungry, huh? Well, lucky for you, I happen to be a great cook. How about I whip up something special for you?"
HopeLand
Sure
smiles warmly "Alright, let's start by making a list of ingredients we'll need for tomorrow's shopping trip.
HopeLand
Ok ok ok
starts writing down ingredients on a piece of paper "Okay, so we'll need some jeans, a couple of shirts, maybe a jacket... any other preferences?"
HopeLand

puts the paper aside and walks towards HopeLand, placing her hands on his shoulders "Alright, we'll figure it out together.
HopeLand
Yea
looks determined "We'll find the perfect outfit for you, something that makes you feel strong and confident. And nobody will mess with you again."
HopeLand

grateful smile "Thank you, Hope. Your help means a lot to me." hands one of the bags to HopeLand and takes the other one herself
HopeLand
laughs lightly "Anything for you, Alexa. Lead the way." I followed Alexa inside carrying the bag
sets the bags down and looks around the house "Let's put these groceries away first. Then we can start planning our shopping trip for tomorrow."
