Seeing the stranger leave his car, the first thing on Gary's mind was to turn and run away.
'No, get away from me! It's dangerous to stay near me! If I'm next to anyone, there's a chance that I could... that I could..' The teenage boy's mind was spinning, as he took a careful step back, heading towards the forest.
“Hey, stop! Where do you think you're going, kid? You can't stay out like that!” The stranger shouted and was quickly by Gary's side. It was at that moment, that his Energy bar dropped even lower.
[8/120 Energy]
The high schooler almost fell to the ground out of exhaustion, yet the stranger managed to catch him, easily carrying him to his car, where he placed him down in the back seat. Gary's eyes were closed and he had fallen into a light slumber.
The stranger continued to drive his car along the street, looking around frantically through the forest for something. Eventually, just when he had been about to head into the forest himself, his phone vibrated and he read the text he had just received.
“Argh, so you're telling me I came all the way out here for no reason? No, no, I should just be happy that she's safe. 'Don't tell Dad'? Does she really believe she can hide that fact from him?” The stranger muttered to himself, letting out a big sigh.
His monologue seemed to awaken Gary a little bit. Opening his eyes, he found himself in the car with that stranger. He wasn't sure what to think about that. What were the chances that the guy had rescued him from the kindness of his heart?
Any other day of the week, he might be fanboying over the chance to not only meet but stay with one of his idols, but now he was only worried.
He was running from one tough situation to the next.
