Chapter 2 : Olaf, The Husky

So I left my house last year and here I am, staying in a park. I had stayed in many different parks and slept at benches. I had already traveled from Maine to Orlando, which is where I am now. 

Today was the second day that I've stayed in one of Orlando's park. Although sleeping on benches are difficult and uncomfortable, but I'm already used to it. 

 Life was difficult for me... I've been finding jobs every time I travel to different states and I finally found one here in Orlando. At the age of 16, working is still underage.   

I have not much money left, just some shillings to buy my last simple meal. In the evening, I went to a fast food restaurant to buy some food.

"Hi" I said shyly.

"Hi. What do you like to have?"the waitress asked.

I looked at the menu and spotted a plain hot dog. I flipped the page, finding the price of mineral water. I counted the total amount and yes, I had the same amount of money which I have left.

"I'll take one hot dog and a bottle of mineral water"I said.

"That's all?"the waitress asked me.

"Yes, that's all"I replied.

"Okay. Your order will be here in 2 minutes"she said.

After two minutes, my order was ready. I took my meal and headed to a bench in the park to rest and prepare for the night. 

I sat on a bench, looking at everyone which had passed by. Some were taking their dogs for a walk, some were jogging and some were playing at the playground.

Out of nowhere, a really cute white husky came towards me. I freaked out. It came closer and closer, I didn't know what to do. If I run, it will chase me and if I don't, it will bite me. The husky sat in front of me and stick its tongue out. 

I reached out my hand and petted the dog.

"Good doggy!"

There was a tag on its neck. And I soon discovered its name was Olaf.

"Olaf. What an interesting name! You're such a good dog, Olaf. Such a good doggy!"

Its fur felt so fluffy and comfy! I couldn't stop petting it.

"Olaf! Is that you?"

A girl and a guy about 20+ came running towards Olaf and I. And I guessed that that is Olaf's owners.

"Olaf!" the girl shouted, hugging Olaf. I can feel the love between them.

"Hi there! Thanks for taking care Olaf just now"the girl talked to me.

"Yeah. Thank you! "the guy said.

"You're welcome. He's such a good dog!"I told them.

Olaf wagged when I said 'good dog'.

"I'm Kirstin Maldonado, you can call me Kirstie. This is Jeremy."the girl introduced.

"I'm Cassie."I introduced myself too.

We chat a little after that, and I soon discovered that Jeremy is Kirstie's boyfriend. 

"So Cassie, where do you live?"Kirstie asked.

I felt so uncomfortable at that time, I seriously don't wanna think about it. But I told the truth.

"My mom's from Texas and dad's from Maine. They studied in an university and met each other there, we stayed in NYC for 6 years and decided to shift to my dad's hometown."I told.

"Oh, I see. But why are you here in Orlando? Having a trip with your family?"she asked curiously.

"My mom died a year ago. Since then, my dad often got drunk at night and will scold be badly and hit me with his belt. One day, I decided to leave. I have traveled from Maine to here, to find a job and earn some money... Life was really tough for me" I replied sadly.

"Excuse us for a moment"Kirstie said and I nodded.

Kirstie's POV

Jeremy and I chatted a while after hearing the bad news from Cassie.

"Jeremy, we must do something! This girl is having a tough time in her life! We gotta help her no matter what!" I whispered loudly.

"But how do you know she really needs help? Maybe she doesn't want us to be involve" Jeremy replied.

"Please Jeremy, please. I promise she'll be fine!" I begged.

"Fine. She can sleep in the next door of our room." told Jeremy.

"Awww. Thanks dear! By the way, I don't think she knows who am I" I said.

"We should go tell the other Pentatonix about this. Maybe she can take turns staying in everyone's apartment" Jeremy suggested.

"Yeah. It'll be a great idea!" I said excitedly.

I had a feeling that Cassie's a good girl.

We told Cassie about it and she agreed staying with us. This is gonna be fun!
