Stu let out a small laugh as he fell on his butt trying to catch the ball ,the ball landed beside him, "you okay stu?" Billy questioned jogging over to him

"Yeah!," stu grabbed the ball and stood up, "I'm fine, you guys wanna play another round?" He questioned

"I'm tired," Tatum said, "I've gotta get home, sorry stu," Sidney said ,"bye guys!" Tatum and Sidney left waving goodbye

"Yeah, sorry stu, I've gotta head home as well or my mom is going to ground me before being late," randy said and stu nodded

"Okay, see you later randy," stu waved as randy ran off , he turned to billy with a smile ,"you wanna play another round?"

"Sorry stu, my mom wants me home before dark, you should head home as well, it'll be dark soon," billy told him

Stu frowned a little before smiling ,"okay, get home safe billy! I'll see you tomorrow!"

Billy nodded mumbling a small bye before walking off, stu watched as billy walked away

He frowned to himself before looking down at the ground , he didn't want to go home, he would be all alone, his parents are never home and his sister moved out years ago.

He let out a sigh before he decided to head to the park ,it wasn't far from the field stu and the other's were playing at,

He hummed to himself as he skipped towards the park.
--
Stu arrived at the park and nobody was around, he ran towards the swings before getting on and started to swing himself

It wasn't unusual for kids not to be out at this time, it was almost night time and most kids had curfews,

Stu didn't have one, he surely doubts that his parents care about him enough to give him a curfew,

He wished he had one, just like every other kid, just like billy , he sometimes wished he had a family like billy, Tatum, Sidney, and randy did but he guess that they're his family

Stu look up at the sky seeing it darkening, he knew he should be going home but he didn't want to be alone , he hated his house ,it was so cold and quiet, he hated it

As he was swinging, he saw someone standing a few feet away from him, he slowed down and look at the person, seeing that it was a man

The man raised his hand waving, stu looked behind him and saw nobody before he looked back at the man, pointing to himself

The man seemed to chuckle and nodded, stu raised his hand and waved back

The man walked over and knelt in front of stu, "what are you doing out here all alone?" He questioned

"Uh can't you see I'm swinging silly?" Stu told him, with a small giggle

"Where your friends?" The man questioned glancing around and stu frowned,

"They had to go home," stu said ,"don't you have to go home? Your parents are probably getting worried," the man said and stu shook his head

"My parent's don't care about me, I don't think they even love me, and they're never home , so I'm all by myself," stu told him

"Oh, I'm so sorry," the man said and stu shrugged ," Eh. I came to terms with it," stu said

"So, you're playing all by yourself right?"the man questioned and stu nodded

"Uh-huh," the man smiled at him ,"do you wanna play a game?" Stu titled his head, looking at him with confusion

"What kind of game? " He asked ,"how about hide and seek? You hide and I seek?" The man said and stu nodded smiling, and hopping off the swing

"Sure! Oh wait I'm stu by the way and you are?" Stu questioned looking up at the man

"You can call me Mr. S" the man replied and stu nodded,"okay! I'll go hide now!" Stu told him

Mr. S put his hands over his eye's, covering them and stu giggled "1!" Stu quickly ran to hide ,but there weren't many hiding spots, deciding to run into the woods, he quickly found a hiding spot inside of a tree and he waited for Mr. S to find him

Stu patiently waited for Mr. S , he played with the dirt ,"boo!" Stu let out a small scream before he relaxed seeing Mr. S who let out a small laugh

"Found you," stu let out a small laugh before crawling out of his hiding spot,
"You wanna play again?" Stu nodded

"But you have to know, if I found you again, I'm keeping you, " Mr. S told him

"What do you mean by that?" Stu questioned, "I'm taking you home with me ," Mr. S told him

Stu shook his head, "but I don't want to go home with you," Mr. S chuckled ,"well then you better hide and pray that I don't find you,"

Stu eye's widen and he backed up before he started to run ,Mr. S loudly counted ,

"1!"

"2"

"3"

"Here I came!"
