Life with great story

Chapter 5

life with great story

Darkness was filling on the surrounding clouds. The sunlight was gone from the window. Herbius took Rosy's wheelchair and went to the dinner table. She looked at the two boys’ face. It looked like one of those birds who saw something big who came to eat them. It filled their eyes with fear. Those eyes went into a flashback of a scene two years ago. A scene where a promise overlapped by some other promising promises. Ethan's eyes reflected the pain he felt when Tyler was gone. He was never ready to leave him again. He stood up and asked loudly, " Why not? ". Herbius also saw fear on Ethan's face. They saw something else too. Something else they didn't mention because they didn't want to ruin the mood.

This is my house. You can't let everyone of your friends live here. Ask him to go back to his orphanage.

Herbius looked at Carl. Rosy's hands got clenched in the wheelchair. Herbius pulled Carl into the kitchen and slammed the door.

" Why not? ". He asked.

It surprised Carl to hear the same thing from Herbius.

It is his friend. What if he brings more and more of his friends heroically said?

"Well, what if he does? Isn't that's what you want kids?". Herbius said.

Well, that's true, but I want people who have a story to tell. They will be more expressive, Carl said.

“That is the most cruel thing I ever heard. You are a jerk. Well, as long as the kids get food, I'm okay,”. Herbius said.

Well, I'm gonna tell him to eat the food and get out. Carl said.

Herbius pulled on carl’s shirt hard to get him back where he was.

Am I the only one seeing that?. Herbius said

" What? ". Carl asked

That boy's clothes. It's torn and old. That's something he would have been wearing for years. Have you seen his body? It sucked his face out and his bones were visible. It's obvious that he's been in the streets alone for years. I noticed it first. I'm pretty sure rose has noticed his dirty smell. In your languages, those things are the story of a boy trying hard to survive a day jerk. Herbius said.

Carl heard everything he said. He didn't know why he never thought of that. His selfish mind was laughing inside because of the marvellous story the boy got.

He went to the dinner table. He looked at their faces. They look like they have a special connection.

"Tyler, you can stay with us. But I warn you we are like a family but not a family, so don't call me dad and don't call Ethan brother because he's not your brother".

Tyler didn't really understand what Carl was talking about.

Tyler and Ethan looked at each other. They missed each other so much.
