Why Should you Care?

The Revelation

                       As I cleaned the tables absentmindedly, I went over everything that had happened these last few days. I hadn't left the restaurant since I told Grillby about me being mugged, and I was really enjoying having decent shelter again. I still hadn't told him about my homelessness, and I doubt if i'll EVER tell him that i'm trans. I really hope he lets me move in with him. It's currently early fall, so the weather is pretty nice, but i'm not sure how much longer my luck will last.

                 As predicted, Grillby sat me down and asked me about where I lived (and why I hadn't been reported missing yet). I told him everything that I had wanted to say to him since I first trusted him. All about how my dad left, how My 'mom' kicked me out (although I ommited the reason why), how I had been homeless for months. I described the intense hunger and fear that I had lived with,  the pain of the people I had loved the most rejecting me because of who I am. I'll admit that I cried a lot, but I needed to. 

               After I got everything off my chest, Grillby was absolutely shocked. He hugged me and in a stunned way said,"I'm so sorry you went through that Davey, and although I cannot fix past sufferings, I can prevent future one's. do you have any possessions?" I shook my head no. "Ok, then I have one question: would you like a home?" " YES" I screamed. "thank you so much"

I'll try to update soon, but I'm really not sure.
