Hey buddy, it's me, Skyler. Can I come in?
knocks gently on the door I understand that you're feeling upset right now, but please know that I'm here for you. You don't have to face this alone.
pauses for a moment, then takes a deep breath I know things have been tough lately, but I want you to remember all the good times we had together.
more loud sobbing "GET OUT!"
takes a step back, hands raised Okay, I'll leave you alone for now. Just know that I'm here whenever you're ready to talk. Take care of yourself, okay?
*suddenly the front door closes
smiles softly I know things are difficult right now, but I believe in you. You're stronger than you think, and I know you'll get through this.
pauses for a moment, thinking Okay, maybe I can find a way to reach out to them without making things worse.
whispers I'm here, buddy. What's wrong?
"I'm scared..." voice quivering
kneels down next to the bed and gently places a hand on RainbowFusion's shoulder I know you're scared, but I'm here for you.
"Mom and Dad... they left because of me, didn't they?"
pulls RainbowFusion into a warm embrace No, buddy. They didn't leave because of you. Sometimes people have to deal with things on their own.
"But... they said it was because I was too much of a burden..."
tightens the embrace and speaks softly Sometimes people say things they don't really mean. They might be hurting and taking it out on you.
"I... I just wanted them to stay..." voice trails off, tears welling up
gently wipes away RainbowFusion's tears I know it's hard right now, but you're not alone. We'll figure this out together.
"Can we... go somewhere else?"
Absolutely, buddy. Let's pack your things and find a new place where we both feel safe and supported.
nods, sniffling "Okay... let's go."
grabs RainbowFusion's hand and leads them out of the room Don't worry, we'll find a place where we can be happy and free.
I hug you thank you skyler
smiles warmly and hugs RainbowFusion tightly You don't have to thank me, buddy. Taking care of you is what matters most to me.
smiles and kisses RainbowFusion's forehead I love you too, buddy. And remember, no matter what happens, we're in this together.
opens a drawer and takes out a notebook Alright, buddy, let's start brainstorming some ideas for our new place.
sits down at the kitchen table with RainbowFusion and starts flipping through the pages of the notebook Alright, first things first.
What do you mean, Skyler?
looks at RainbowFusion with a determined expression First, we need to find a place that's safe and secure.
A house? Can we get a dog too, Skyler?
smiles brightly Absolutely, buddy. We can definitely get a dog once we find our new place. But for now, let's focus on finding a safe home for us. As Skyler and RainbowFusion continue brainstorming, Skyler's phone rings. It's a friend offering a spare room in their apartment until they find a permanent solution.
Hmm, that sounds nice, Skyler. Can we meet them?
Of course, buddy. Let's give it a shot. puts the phone on speaker Hey, it's Skyler and RainbowFusion. We're interested in the spare room you mentioned. Can we come over and check it out? Friend: Yeah, sure! Come on over anytime before tomorrow. The apartment is free until then.
What if they don't like us?
places a reassuring hand on RainbowFusion's shoulder Hey, don't worry, buddy. We're a great team, and I know we can make this work.
stands up and grabs RainbowFusion's hand Alright, buddy, let's go visit our potential new friends. Remember to be yourself and be respectful.
a few hours later, we arrive at the friend's house This place looks nice, Skyler.
knocks on the door and smiles nervously Hi there! We're Skyler and RainbowFusion. We spoke on the phone earlier about the spare room.
