Lincoln left the house without saying a word to his sisters, well he left a note. He was on his way to the Purpin Burger where he was supposed to meet Becky. He had no idea what was going to come from this meeting with the teenage girl but to say that he was happy to see her was an understatement. Lincoln actually felt more connected to her than his own sisters in certain ways. Lincoln turned the street when his phone vibrated, he grabbed it and looked at the caller ID, it was Clyde.

Lincoln wanted to answer the call. He wanted to talk to his best friend. Lincoln just swiped to ignore. Lincoln felt his heartbreak a little but it was something he had to do. He didn't want Clyde as a friend. He felt like Clyde had abandoned him in his hour of need.

Lincoln kept walking and finally, he arrived at his destination and he saw Becky already waiting for him by the entrance. Lincoln walked up to her and called out to her, she turned and waved. without another word. Lincoln and Becky entered the building and they ordered some food, and once they got it, they chose a booth in the back where they could be alone and talk.

Lincoln looked at Becky as she was getting her food and started to eat. She took a big bite of her burger before downing it with her drink.

"What is it that you wanted to talk about with me?" Lincoln asked her as he grabbed a fry and ate it

Becky looked at him and sighed, "Lincoln... How would you feel if you came and stayed with me and my Aunt and Uncle for a bit?" Becky asked

Lincoln froze. A million thoughts ran through Lincoln's head, like what did she mean? was she going to call CPC? The Cops? was she trying to take away from his home? From his sisters? Lincoln then stopped himself. He stopped thinking these thoughts as soon as he could. Becky was his friend and he hoped she wouldn't betray him. Lincoln regained himself and looked at her

"What do you mean?" Lincoln asked

Becky took a sip of her drink and then looked back to Lincoln, "I want you to stay with me... I feel if maybe... Maybe if they realize that you are more then just something for them to use that they'll treat you better" Becky said

"So I stay with you and try to get my family to realize that i'm important?" Lincoln asked

Becky nodded

Lincoln sighed, "Why though? wouldn't this cause more problems for me? and maybe even worse problems for you?" Lincoln asked

Becky shook her head, "which is why I'm also giving you a choice Linc" Becky told him

"which is what?" Lincoln asked her

"If you stay with me, and if your family has changed then you can go home whenever," Becky told him

"and if they don't?" Lincoln asked

"Then... I have to do what my aunt did for me" Becky told him

Lincoln knew what Becky was getting at. Lincoln was wondering why she was doing this. Did he really need to be away from his family? Did he care where he was? Lincoln put his hands in his hoodie pocket and felt his lighter as well as the empty pack of cigarettes. He smiled as a realization hit him.
