Joalin expected the young boys arrival with excitement, she was ready to help this young boy, lately she started feeling like her call in life was to help people and make them better.

Thomas was an asshole before meeting her and now he was the best man he could be, so she was motivated to do I again.

She told Mazy to prepare the perfect lunch for a teenager and told her kids they would have a guest so they should be nice.

To her surprise the boy came along side Thomas who looked tired and bored.

_Hey honey_ he greeted her with a kiss_ This is Micah!_ pointed the dark complexity boy, his hair was smooth like black silk and skin tanned like gold_ Talk to him if you can, cause I've tried... I even hired an interpreter, but he just hates me.

_No he doesn't, he is just upset with everything_ she whispered to him kissing him softly.

Micah was starred at them like the complete stranger they were to him, he knew Thomas was the one keeping the orphanage running but he didn't knew him personally, so he set his guard up.

_Hello Micah, welcome to our home, I'm Joalin_ he started saying and signing.

_You don't need to sign_ he said scaring them_ I'm deaf but i can read lips and speak.

_Great!_ Jo smiled at him_ I will be easier for Thomas, come let's sit down.

_Micah... What you did was wrong_ Thomas started sitting next to him_ I've talked to sister Ines and unfortunately you won't be able to come back to the orphanage.

_What?_ he stood up angry_ Man I didn't do anything!_ he shouted_ I can't come back home man.

_Micah please sit down.

_Don’t tell me what to do!_ he shouted again making Thomas mad_ You don't know anything.

_Micah!_ Joalin apprehended him_ Lower your voice!_ she warned him_ And sit down right now.

Surprisingly he obeyed like a good boy, he needed a firm hand not an aggressive one.

_We want to help you Micah, but you need to let us_ she said softly_ Sister Ines said they can't take you back, so she will talk to other orphanages to see if they can take you or maybe a foster family.

_But we called you here because we wanted to talk to you about your recent behavior_ Thomas sat straight_ If you keep acting like that, you'll only get yourself in trouble and no one likes a troublemaker.

_What my husband is trying to say_ she looked at Thomas with sharp eyes correcting his harsh words_ Is that we care about you and we are just trying to make you do better.

_I swear man..._ he started crying breaking Joalin's heart_ If I have to go back to my dad's... I'll kill myself.

_Don’t say that!_ she sat next to him and pushed him into a hug_ Don't you ever say that again Micah... Do you hear me?_ she signed angry.

_I just..._ he sobbed_ I don't wanna suffer anymore, I rather die.

_Don’t say that baby_ she looked at Thomas with teary puppy eyes and he only sighted, he knew that look.
