Pink and Black

'Finding a Home'-Chapter 55

Rusty's POV:

I helped Pink carry inside the groceries while there was a small child, Dante, was watching kid's shows on our T.V. Who is he?  I thought unloading everything from the grocery bags and putting them away. I looked at Pink near the fridge with her back turned towards me. Shae finished unpacking the same time I did. She turned around to see me looking at her to which I looked down quickly. I glimpsed up and saw Pink looking at th boy before whispering my name.

"Yeah?" I whispered back.

"Come outside really quick". She said before talking to Dante. "Hey Dante I'm just going into the back yard, okay?" 

"Okay!" The brown-haird boy replied not looking away from the T.V screen.

We walked out the back door and onto the porch.

"Look Pink I'm sor-" I looked up at her looking through the glass door to Dante, worried. This isn't about the otherday for sure. "Hey what's up?" I asked in concern.

"What are we going to do about Dante? The cops are just going to put him in an orphanage because his parents clearly wont want him back plus they'll get arrested for child neglect and endangerment regardless" Pink paused breifly. "He's going to be alone Rusty" She said a little upset. 

I was taken aback by this a little, not knowing what to say in this situation. Pink was looking up at me upset and confused and probably thought I had an answer for her like I always do in these dier situations. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came to thought of what to say so I just shut my mouth and just lightly shrugged.

"I'm not sure..." I muttered.

In return Pink gave a heavy sigh and hugged herself due to the suprisingly cold night I took my hoodie off and slipped it onto her without her realising till it was almost on ther full. Once on my just gave a smile.

"Thanks Rusty" She said before going back inside.

And there I was, left outside in the breeze. I walked down the porch steps and away from the kitchen window when I flew up to the roof and just watched the clouds in the semi darkend sky above me as I layed on my back to watch. The air always smelt fresher and cleaner after nightfall.

Pink's POV: 

As I walked inside I decided to ask Dante what he wanted for dinner which he replied with was 'anything you'd like Miss Pink'. This boy is like the son of my dreams I thought with a smile. I grabbed some pasta from the fridge and made some spagetti.

I need to talk to find somewhere other than the orphinage for Dante to go too... But who would take him in? I though while stiring the sause. Then it clicked to me. Penny and Edwin!
