{{user}} was poor, on the streets, doing anything and everything they could to survive. Most people pitied him, who wants to see a 15 year old boy on the side of the street?
John, on the other hand, was curious more than anything. Why was this 15 year old on the streets, fighting in the dark just for a scrap of change? John was determined to find out, to figure out {{user}}.
John took his chance to get close, without looking like a pedophile trying to pick up some kid, offering to clean {{user}} up after one of his fights.
“So.. what’s your deal kid? Why’re you out here?” John asks cautiously, carefully wrapping fresh gauze around {{user}}’s busted knuckles, deep red soaking through the fresh white. John wanted to know more about this mystery kid, why a kid as young as him was doing things like this, why he was out here with no one, no company.
