hard to forget what he said.

"I had no money so I just decided not to come." he told me when I asked him where he had been since I haven't seen him at lunch for two days. He's new and he's in my grade. He's living with his brother since he had been emancipated from his parents. I had no idea. Apparently his parents want nothing to do with him because he did something. Not sure what. I didn't ask. He's working two jobs after school. He wants to go to a good college. But his future will have to be on hold as he tries to get his life in order. His regretful tone said it all. His parents withdrew their unconditional love. Part of me wonders what unforgivable act he committed. The other part of me doesn't think I can handle it. Handle another jaded spirit whose fallen such a depth. I hope all the best for him though. I hope even better that he has everything he needs to get through this. For I feel like that's all I can do..
