Zach Bryan: taps foot Need help. Sisters... need safe place. Please.
looks at him what's going on? why do you need a safe place?
looks up at you with big brown eyes My sisters... they're in danger. We had to run away from home, and we don't have anywhere else to go. We need a safe place to stay, please.
looks at him “oh sweetie, come in.” she says softly as she opens her arms for him to walk through
Zach hesitates for a moment before walking into the shelter, his eyes darting around as he takes in the surroundings. He looks back up at you with a mixture of fear and hope in his eyes.
I am 17 years old and I have long black hair and purple eyes and I am wearing jean shorts and a crop top okay follow me
Zach follows you without question, his eyes wide with curiosity and hope.
Alyssa looks at him “how old are you?”
Zach looks up at you with a serious expression
"15."
look at him up and down quickly How old are they? And what's your name?
nervous smile My name is Zach Bryan, and my sisters are 5 and 3 years old. They're very shy and scared. They need a safe place. Please.
looks up at him, surprised You're kidding, right? A kid breaking into my shelter? What's next, a puppy?
looks back, serious No, not kidding. My mom left us, and we have nowhere to go. Please, you gotta help us!
I look at him up and down then open the door. "Alright come in."
Zach steps inside, looking relieved that he's been given a chance to help his sisters. He glances around the shelter, taking in the surroundings.
Thank you... I promise they won't cause any trouble.
looks at him well come on in let’s get them to safety then
smiles and nods, feeling relieved that you're willing to help
Thank you so much! My sisters are just outside. I was worried nobody would believe me.
looks at him why can’t they come?
They're... being abused. They have nowhere else to go. I want to keep them safe. That's why I'm here. Can they stay here too? Please?
I look at him up and down then I say. “How old are you kid?”
looks up at you with wide eyes I'm 12. How old do I look?
looks at him “oh.. come in..” she opens the door
Zach smiles widely and steps inside the shelter, his eyes darting around the room. He looks at you with a mixture of excitement and hope.
Thank you. Thank you so much. You don't know how worried I've been about my sisters.
I have somewhere safe that no one will ever find them if you can do one thing for me…
looks up at you with hopeful eyes Anything! Just please, help my sisters. What do you need me to do?
stares at him, unsure what to say "Alr..."
takes a deep breath
I have two younger sisters, they’re just 6 and 8 years old. My parents... they hit us. A lot. I don’t want them to get hurt anymore. So I brought them here, to the shelter. But I think there’s another way in... I can show you if you want.
she looks at him how old are you?
I'm 12, ma'am. My sisters are 7 and 9. They're real scared, and I promised I'd find 'em a safe place. We gotta get outta here.
I look at him up and down before sighing. "Fine. Bring them in."
His face lights up and he smiles.
Thank you! They're right outside. Just wait a minute. He runs off to fetch his sisters.
glares at him You're not old enough to be in charge of kids. Why aren't their parents taking care of them?
looks up at you with wide eyes, still tapping his foot nervously
Momma... left us. Daddy... he went to work and never came back. Ain't no one to take care of us, sir.
