John was getting done at the gym, saying his goodbye’s to the gym staff he walked outside and crossed the road to his car. He’s mentally and physically exhausted from all of the work he’s been doing over the years and it clearly shows on his face and body, he needed a break but he knew he probably wouldn’t get one soon. He accepted that this was his life and sometimes you paid the price for wanting to be successful--he paid the price for that in the wrestling world and now he was paying that price in the Acting world.
“Buzz, buzz!” his phone began to go off from within his pocket, grabbing it out of his right back pocket of his shorts--he clicked the green phone icon and put it up to his ear. “Hey, what’s up?” He listened to his mom on the other end of the line and laughed ever so often. “Yeah mom, I gotta go but I’ll call you later on tonight or early tomorrow, okay?” He smiled and nodded his head. “Alright mom, love you too. Uh huh, bye now.” He took the phone away from his ear and clicked the red icon to hang up the phone before putting it back into his pocket.
He was about to get into his car until he saw a young teenage kid--probably only fourteen or fifteen if he had to guess, he seemed like he was in trouble and needed some kind of help. He was sitting on the brick wall diagonal to his car and had a mean look on his face, he had a few scratches and bruises on his face as well. Looked as if he had been roughed up a little bit. “Hey kid...” John spoke up and the young boy looked up at him with a confused expression. Sighing and scratching the back of his head, he put his hands into his pockets. “You need some help?” He questioned him, he saw a lot of himself in this kid and he wasn’t sure why he asked him if he needed help but he did.
The young boy looked down at the ground and stayed silent for a few minutes before getting up and walking over to John’s car. “You don’t have to help me or nothing, just take me to an empty alley way or something. I can stay there for the night at least.” The kid shrugged it off like it was nothing and John stared him down for a few moments, studying his body language, the bruises and cuts, his clothes. He clearly didn’t come from a very good home life. “Come on, get in my car. I’ll take you some place where you can get some sleep for the night.” John had never invited a stranger to his home before but he got the feeling that this was just a kid who didn’t have a very good family and needed some help.
He opened the passenger door and waited until the teenage boy was in his car before closing it and walking over to the driver side. As he got inside, he started up his car and pulled off onto the road and began the journey to his house. “So you got a name?” He asked him, looking over at him as the kid looked over at him at the same time. “Caelen is my name and yours?” John smiled. “Nice to meet you Caelen, I’m John.” Caelen nodded his head and looked back out the passenger side window.
About thirty minutes later, John pulled into his drive way and parked the car. “Well, we’re here.” He smiled slightly and got out of the drivers side as he waited for the teenage boy to get out as well. “Dear God...Do you live in a mansion or something?” Caelen asked as John laughed it off like it was nothing. “Let’s just say I’ve had a pretty nice career.” He shrugged and wrapped his arm around Caelen’s shoulder ushering him inside of the giant house. “This room is where you’ll be staying for tonight, don’t try to get out of it either. I’m just trying to help.” He reassured him, smiling down at the boy. “Uh...I don’t know what to say really???” John grinned and shook his head. “You don’t have to say anything, it’s no big deal really. Just saw a kid who needed some help...We all need some help sometimes.” He nodded and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. He wasn’t sure of the kids future or of his family life but one thing he did know was that he was doing the right thing by letting him stay with him, after all it was just for one night and as John had said before--everyone needs a little help sometimes.
