Finally realizing how long he had been here he looked at the clock.
"Oh dam I am in so much trouble, I was supposed to be home by nine o'clock, I am a dead man, my mother is going to kill me." He uttered with worry.
"It's only ten o'clock your not in that much trouble are you?" I asked concerned for the boy.
"You don't understand I have a curfew I have to be in by nine each night or she will kick me out." He said almost crying.
"Don't worry I will drive you home this way you won't be so late." I said trying to calm him.
"Would you do that for me? I will still be late but not by two or more hours." He said looking kind of relieved.
"Of course lets find our clothes and get you home young man." I said smiling.
Once dressed we headed out, I dropped him off a few houses away so she would not see me dropping him off, he gave me a quick peck on the cheek and was gone. I watched him walk away scurrying home. He gave me a final wave good bye and turned into the driveway of the one house, I waited with my window rolled down, to see if I could hear her yell at him, but all was quiet so I drove off.
It was a week before I bumped into him it was totally by chance that he was where I was, he had on the same clothes he had on the last time he and I had played together. I came up behind him he did not see me, he was pan handling on the street, I walked up staying behind him, I heard him beg people.
"Please anything helps, I have not eaten in two days." He pleaded with passers by
