Ten Years Old
Jess was raised in an orphanage. Her parents have left her there since she was born. She didn't get along with the other kids so she just kept her distance from them. The kids were all playing outside except her, she sat behind a tree alone. She always wondered why her parents didn't want her, why they didn't love her. She wrap her arms around her leg, put her head down, and cries
Boy: Don't cry
She quickly looks up and sees a boy in front of her, he's about her age. He's just staring at her. She's never seen him before so maybe he's a new kid she thought
Jess: Who are you?
Boy: Michael; who are you?
Jess: I'm Jess
They stare at each other
Michael: Do you want to see something cool?
Jess: Sure...
He grabs a dead flower from the bush then covers it with both his hands while stretching his arms to her. He opens his hands and shows her the flower, it was alive and blooming. She looks at it in shock
Michael: Take it, so you're not sad anymore
She looks at him then takes the flower
Jess: Thank you
He smiles
Nun: Jess?
She quickly looks
Nun: Who are you talking to?
Jess looks at Michael then at the nun
Jess: You don't see him?
Nun: See who?
Jess looks back at him, he's smiling at her
Nun: Jess?
She looks at the nun
Jess: Nevermind
Nun: Come on
Jess gets up and walks away with her, still holding the flower
One month later
Jess and Michael became friends. They met behind the tree everytime her and the other kids went outside. She didn't care that no one could see him. She had someone to talk to, someone to make her laugh, someone that made her happy. The flower he had given her never dried up
Two years later... Twelve years old
Jess was hiding under the bed from her adopted dad. He was drunk and had beaten her adopted mom, she was next
Dad: Where are you bitch?
She covers her mouth and shakes. She hears his footsteps coming closer to the door
Psst
She turns around. Michael's right in her face
Jess *whispers* Michael?
He puts his finger on his mouth
Michael *whispers* Don't move
She nods. She's staring into his eyes. The door opens
