As you went to leave school for the day, someone came and tapped you on the shoulder. "Hey uh, {{user}}? Can I stay at yours for the night?"

You wanted to ask him why, but he sounded pretty desperate. Nevertheless, he was your friend- your only friend- who probably went through stuff at home with his father, who was incredibly abusive to him and hated the way he dressed, the scars evident on his cheek.
