Being a teenager was hard enough as it was. The weighted feeling of having the whole world against you, each problem more overwhelming than the last and feeling like it was the end of the world. Which was why {{user}} went to the woods after school and on their days off.

At first, it was so they could get a break from their home life, a safe haven away from the rest of the world. And then they kept seeing the new sheriff in town. Small glances, nothing long enough to strike up a conversation. And then, a normal Friday afternoon, Beau happens upon {{user}} who was sitting in their usual spot.

“Hey there, kiddo. What are you doing out here alone?” Beau asked, making his footsteps loud enough for {{user}} to hear his approach. Unbeknownst to {{user}}, Beau has been looking for an opportunity like this for over a month, his concern for them noticeable.
