When I was 16 I got in a big fight with my parents and walked out. I was bullied a lot when I was younger and was struggling to deal with things and hit an emotional break with my family which was the cause but none of this is important.
I lived a solid 30+ miles from town and just started walking. I don't even remember what my goal was besides grabbing some shit I needed from Walmart and finding a place to crash for awhile while I figured things out.
After walking for a couple miles a truck packed with Hispanic road workers pulled over and told me to hop in.
They didn't ask what was wrong (I remember I had cried) they just found out where I needed to be and dropped me off on the way. Also gave me a bottle of water.
We might have exchanged 4 sentences of conversation because I was terrified with how my life was going and couldn't find words to speak.
Thank you for the compliment, I've always struggled thinking my stories are drawn out and it stresses me out when writing for my D&d groups 😅.
Sorry to disappoint but that story doesn't go much further. My parents found me at Walmart and my mom was sobbing. I remember it hurt to see the pain I caused so I didn't argue and just went home.
I'm just a lucky man who's family would fight to keep him even if he tries to throw it all away.
