*The next day*the day of mays funeral*
I get up and make an ad online to sell my furniture which includes a couch a couple of chairs two beds, and a TV.
Then I grab all my clothes my toothbrush, phone, computer, some medical stuff, a few bags of chips, and a box of cookies.
Then I check the time 8:00 am
My phone dings with a response for the ad they can take everything but the TV for 700 dollars which will be enough for a few months of food plus whatever I get for the TV I could probably buy a small tent or something.
A few minutes later I get an offer of 300 for the TV and they can come get it in 15 minutes, nice.

1 HOUR LATER
I have 1072 dollars and am fully packed I start to walk to Ned's house I also decided to not go to the funeral.

"Hey, Ned," I say as I walk into Ned's room.
"Hey, you ok?" He asks.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I reply "Can we just not talk about it?"
"Uh, sure... I have a new Lego set wanna build it together?" He asks
"Yeah," I say smiling. With how many people in my family are dead I am somewhat used to people around me dying.

*Two days later*

"Ned," I say

"I found a family,"
"Wait how I thought people were doing that for you?" Ned replies
"Peter Ned come here please," Ned's mom yells from the kitchen so we both run to the kitchen and sit down at the table "Peter I just got a text saying that a couple wants to adopt you," Ned's mom says
"Oh, what are their names?" I ask.
