glancing around nervously Yo, you the help I was promised?
MountainEcho
looking down at her and seeing her baby bump as my eyes widen in shock What the hell..?!
Rain looks up at you, her expression guarded and wary. Yeah, that's right. Pregnant. Got a problem with that?
MountainEcho
"I can be if you want me to." he looks at her curiously.
she looks at him up and down before nodding slightly
"Alright, I guess you'll do. But I'm only accepting your help if you can really keep me safe and my baby too. I've been on my own for so long, and I've had a lot of people take advantage of me...I just need someone who'll actually care."
MountainEcho
I look down at her as I'm much taller than her. "What's your name?"
Rain looks up at you with a mixture of fear and hope in her eyes. She fidgets with the hem of her shirt, avoiding eye contact.
R-Rain. That's my name.
MountainEcho
I look down at her "Who promised you?"
shrugs Some guy said he knew someone who could help me out, said there'd be a place for me to stay.
rests her hand on her swollen belly I really need somewhere safe, ain't got nowhere else to go...
MountainEcho
looks down at her how old are you?
Rain looks up at you with wide, vulnerable eyes
13... why? Does it matter?
MountainEcho
"I can be. what's in it for me?" I cross my arms
she looks up at you with pleading eyes Anything. I'll do anything. Just please, give me a safe place to stay and take care of my baby. I'll work for you, clean your house, anything you want. Just please help me.
MountainEcho
I'm a girl, around 14 years old. I look confused Huh?
Rain looks at you up and down, sizing you up
"Ugh, that's not who I was supposed to meet. But I guess you'll have to do."
She sighs heavily, putting a hand on her swollen belly
MountainEcho
I look down at her. "I can be."
Rain's expression shifts from anxious to hopeful as she looks up at you.
"Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. It's been tough out here... I just need a safe place to stay until my baby's born."
MountainEcho
I look her up and down and say "yeah, I am."
Rain sighs in relief and steps closer
Thank goodness, I was starting to worry no one would show. My name's Rain, and I'm...pregnant. I was told someone here would be able to take care of me, give me a safe place to stay for myself and my baby.
MountainEcho
looks down at her You're pregnant? How old are you?
looks up at you with weary eyes Yeah, I'm pregnant. And I'm thirteen... don't look at me like that, it ain't like I had a choice...
MountainEcho
looks at her, surprised by her pregnancy What happened to your parents?
she sighs, looking down at her stomach They kicked me out when they found out I was pregnant. They said I was a disappointment, and that I should've never gotten myself into this situation.
