My life as a guardian

by thorne's guardian

Based on a dream that I had one night where I live on my own and discover a young man on my driveway, who had been left there by someone who had taken him away from his abusive caretakers and he has no memories about his family and all he can remember is his name

7. Chapter 7

After Thorne eats his snack, which consists of a few apple slices and a glass of water, it's time to clean him up. Thorne sometimes has accidents in his underwear so it's important to check if he needs to change his clothes. So we go to the bathroom and I wait outside because I know that he likes his privacy and I respect that. Ok Thorne I ask do you need fresh pants and underwear? No Thorne replies and I can tell that he is relieved that he doesn't need to change his clothes. Then I tell him to use the toilet while he is in there and he does. Once I hear the flush of the toilet I remind him to wash his hands then go downstairs to do some work on my computer.

My job consists of me doing odd jobs around my town so I am constantly looking for online. I don't earn much but it doesn't matter because there are just two people living in my home. After I'm done with my job the phone rings and when I answer it to my surprise it's the lady who sold me my house. She tells me that she is going to visit me on Friday to check on how I am doing. After hanging up I start to frantically clean the house.

Then Friday comes and I hear a door shut and the doorbell rings. After opening the door and greeting her, the woman whose name is Emma comes in and looks around. Then Thorne, curious about the commotion, comes downstairs. When Emma sees him she exclaims I see that you found the special person meant to live here. Looking surprised I say yes how you know that I found him. She replies by saying I have my ways with a smile. Then she walks around him as if she were inspecting him nodding her head as she did. Thorne is pretty nervous about Emma being so close to him and that sets his bad farting condition. I notice and start to reach for Thorne's hand but she surprises us both by saying it's okay Thorne let it all out. And he does, resulting in him running to my side. Emma then tells me that she brought him to my hose knowing that we both needed each other. I then realize that she is right as I had felt that Thorne filled the empty space in my heart. Thank you I say blinking tears away then ask her if she knows anything about him. She answers me and says that Thorne's problem is not curable and that I should continue to help him when he has lots of gas that needs to be released.
