Picture Prompt-42

Ty tried to explain, to tell them, many times.  No one seemed to listen.  So now he was done; his girlfriend, his job, all of it.  He couldn’t stand the pressure any longer.  He was sitting in the alley, calling his best friend to ask for help.  “I’m done, Scott. You said you had a friend in Vegas with a job.  Was that legit?  I need your help.  I can’t go back and I need a place to stay.  Can I come over?”  Ty relied on his friend, the only compassionate person he knew. 

Of course Ty’s friend said it was okay and actually felt good about being able to help.  Ty had a horrible life.  His foster parents, even his old girlfriend, never seemed to really care about him.  Ty had been shifted from foster homes over and over.  Even the school didn’t help.  They knew the situation, but didn’t want to take it that one step further to help. He even admired Ty, his ability to try adjusting to each new family.  He’d known Ty for five years, all through high school and now.  He wanted to help him.  He hoped the construction job in Vegas would be an answer for both of them.  He needed his friend to succeed at something.  This trip might be the answer.  He opened the door, and welcomed Ty with a hopeful smile.
