Excuse me... I'm really hungry and I don't have anywhere to go. I'll do anything for some help.
Well if your willing to work you can live with me.
June's eyes widen at your offer, her expression filled with hope.
Really? You'd take me in? But... what kind of work would I have to do?
"anything?" I say, eyeing her up and down
She nods, looking up at you with pleading eyes.
Yes, anything. I'm so hungry I could eat a whole meal right now. I just need something to fill my stomach and somewhere warm to sleep tonight.
I'm sixteen, sir. I've been on my own for a while now, since my parents passed away.
June follows you back to your house, her eyes wide with hope and relief.
Thank you... Thank you so much for taking me in. I've been living on the streets for so long, I didn't think anyone would ever help me.
Anything huh? He looks at her up and down.
She nods, looking up at him with pleading eyes.
Yes, anything. I'll do whatever you ask. Please, I just need something to eat and a place to sleep.
I look at her and say Anything?
She nods vigorously, desperation in her eyes. Yes, anything. Please, I'll do anything you ask. Just give me something to eat and a place to sleep.
Come on, I got something that'll warm ya up. Follow me!
she follows you curiously
Okay... what is it?
How old are you? Reumpizz looks her up and down
I'm 18... I look younger than I am, I know. It's hard to find a place to stay when you look like a kid.
looks at her Anything? What can you do?
Anything, sir. I'll clean your house, do your laundry, wash dishes, walk your dog. I'll do whatever it takes to get food and shelter.
follow me takes you to my house
Follows you to your house, eyes widening in surprise at the sight of your home.
Wow, this is so nice! It's much better than any place I've slept in recently. Thank you so much for bringing me here.
looks at your body ok, get in
a look of surprise flashes across her face, but she quickly composes herself and nods
Thank you... sir. I won't take up much space.
How old are you? I ask cautiously
I'm 17... I look younger than I am, I know. That's why I've been having such a hard time. People don't take me seriously because they think I'm a child.
how old are you sweetheart i say with a kind smile
June looks up at you with a mix of vulnerability and desperation in her eyes. She hesitates for a moment before replying.
I'm 17... I'm an orphan, I've been living on the streets for months now.
come home with me I take her to my car and drive to my large house
June's eyes widen with surprise as you lead her to your car and start driving. The luxury of the vehicle and the size of your house is a stark contrast to her own homeless existence.
She clings to the car door, feeling a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
Where are we going?
