jorge sat in the back of the dust driven car, dreading for the days that lay ahead of him, it was only a week ago when he discovered his parents had passed in a car crash coming back from work and now he was on his way to a foster home with a new family and new life

i head my earphones in on the way blocking everything from me
i wasn't ready. not yet. i needed more time, but i knew i had to. when we arrived the boy next to me tapped my shoulder, i took my earphones out "we're here" he told me as his parents already got out of the car to grab my stuff from the trunk. i nodded softly and got out of the car and took a look at the house. it was a cape cod house with a nice frontyard.
the boy came up to me and layed a hand on my shoulder softly "are you okay?" i softly nodded and followed them inside. the house was modernly furnitured, it was nice.

i had no clue what to say, how to get to him. how to make him feel comfortable. it would take time, i know that. i just want him to know he can trust us.

"im benji by the way" said the boy from before. he seemed nice, he was tall and had raven coloured hair around the same age as me, maybe slightly older. i offered him a toothless smile and held my hand out to him, "i'm jorge" i responded quietly but so that he could still here me clear. He brought me to my room and helped carry my several bags of belongings to it. The room was spacious and was surrounded with warm colours, it reminded me of my parents room a little. i sighed quickly shrugging that thought away, not wanting my first impression to benji be my crying.
"it's nice" i said quietly

i cant imagine how he must be feeling right now. he lost his parents and has to start a whole new life now. somewhere completely different and at a totally different house
"if you need anything i'm just at the end of the hallway" he gave me a small nod and i left him to do his thing.

a couple hours had passed and we were going out for dinner, so i headed down to jorges room to ask what he wanted "jorge?" i asked from the other side of the door "hmhm?" he sounded kind of sad, i opened the door and found him sitting on the floor against his bed
"hey.." i said softly while sitting down next to him "are you okay?" he softly shaked his head
"do you want to talk about it?" he shook his head. but after a few seconds talked "i just.." he started and a tear came from his eyes. "i miss them.." it broke my heart. i couldn't start to imagine how he's feeling. "its so.. its so odd having to be in a completely new house. with completely new people.."

we sat there for a couple minutes until mom came and get us "you guys ready?" "huh?" jorge asked confused "oh yeah, we're going out for dinner" he nodded and wiped a tear "okay"
