As he walks in, it becomes more clear he hasn't eaten or had anything to drink in days.He looks bruised and in just overall Terrible condition.
John: So what happened? What caused you to be on the streets begging for home? Also, what is your name?

Ethan: My name is Ethan. My parents kicked me out of the house.

John: Why?

Ethan: My parents abused ever since I turned 1. Why? Even I don't know. Eventually, I figured out that when I cut myself they wouldn't abuse me as much. I ended up feeling depressed and they hated that so much they disowned me.

John: Do you need food or anything?

Ethan: That would be nice.

John:What grads are you in?

Ethan: 4th grade. I skipped kindergarten and 2nd grade. I also turn 9 on September 21st.
As I listened, I made him 3 melted Ham bad cheese sandwiches. He devoured them. Even quicker than Sayori would. Her stomach is like a black hole.

John:Well I start school the 27th of August and today is the 23rd so you have a little time to settle down here.

Ethan: Thank you for letting me live here.

John: You we're going to die. I couldn't lived with myself knowing I could have helped a 6-year old survive.

He eventually falls asleep soon afterwards. I go up to my parents room and make a bed for him there. I also bring a basket of toys I used to play with up there. I grab a new toothbrush and toothpaste for him and put in the bathroom. I bring up my smaller clothes I think will fit him. I fall asleep while admiring his room.
I wake up to find him still asleep. I quickly make some eggs,French toast and a few sausage links. He wakes up not too long after I finish cooking.

Ethan: Is there any food?

John: Yes I just finished making it.

I hand him the food and he gobbles it down.

John: Come on let's go to the store.

He doesn't say anything as he slips on a pair of my old sneakers.He hops in the back of my car and then we drove off.

Time Skip a couple days.

August 25th

John: Listen, I talked to the school and they said you can come with me at school. So just follow me and it will be all good. But you will have to stay here the first two days.

Ethan: Ok.

I give him my old phone and show him some games,how to call and how to text.I show him the snack closet as well. After that,we both fall asleep very quickly.

The next morning I go downstairs and get us both a pop tart and turn the news. We begin to mimic the reporters and make fun of them. Until the news about my parents reaches here. We both stop what we're doing and stare at the Television. As we watch he stares up at me and says...

Ethan: It's okay to cry, you know? Everyone has a soft side.

John: You have a way better reason to be crying than me and I cried to my content at the hospital and the funeral.

He starts to hug me and just hug back. But our hug was interrupted by a call from Sayori.

John: Hello?
Sayori: Are you okay?
John: Yeah. I think.
Sayori: Are you sure?
John: Can I come over?
Sayori: Sure!
John: Okay see you soon.

She hangs up and I explain whats going to happen.

John: I'm going to help you for tomorrow by going over my friend's house,so just used remember everything we reviewed.

Ethan: O-okay.

Turn and smile at him before leaving. I run up to Sayori's house and knock on the door. As I knock I slowly lose my so called Confidence and start crying before she could answer.
