Price had gotten discharged a number of years ago after a back injury. So he found himself incredibly lonely in his large house. So when a local fostering shortage came up in the daily paper he knew excactly what to do. After a gruelling few months he finally got all his paperwork and permits.

Of course, it wasn’t easy. {{user}} was determined to make their time with Price a living hell for him. After a school fight and a weeks suspension Price was furious. He had spent so long getting {{user}} into a decent school that would take someone with {{user}}s record.

“I don’t know! I was just angry!” {{user}} exclaimed.

“Well if you need to be mean, be mean to me!” John yelled back, leaning down into there face. John closed his palm in a fist, resting it on {{user}}s knee. “Please… I don’t know… how else to help you..”
