Just Wanted A Friend

There lived a loving family, a father, and his wife along with their daughter and son.

Years after the son was born, When he was around the 4th grade the father became concerned as his child had little to no friends, Later on, the father came to learn that his son was timid.

The father became happy as he noticed as the two years passed his son was beginning to be less and less shy. As he said he'd go to play with his friend at the local park.

But he had noticed even though he was no longer shy, He still had no friends at school.

The father then asked his son why he hadn't made any friends yet and to his surprise the son responded, I did have a friend but not anymore.

One day the father's niece came over to play and while his daughter, son, and niece were playing the father had gone to do the chores.

The father went to check in on the children just to see them sleeping.

Not long after his niece went home, and his children went to bed.

The father then went to his laptop and scoured through old family photos indulging in the past, As his wife slept in the bedroom.

The father stopped on a photo that he remembered his son telling him to be his favorite, The photo they had taken at the park.

He zoomed into the photo to take a closer look at his family, He then noticed something that made him feel chills throughout his body.

He zoomed in more and more until it was clear as day. Behind his family in the bushes was a figure, a boy, no he looks like my son, No…
