top tier of teeth tug on his bottom lip , fingers clasped together in an obvious plea before he looks past the girl now standing in the doorway . eyes flicker to the hall behind her , looking for any sign of her older brother , dewey , who would be all - too - happy to make tatum’s decision for her and send stu on his way . but the truth was , he didn’t want to be alone tonight , at least not the entire thing anyway . his parents were nowhere to be found when he came home from school that day . the usual note left on the whiteboard telling their son how much they loved him and they’d be back from their trip soon . it was all horseshit if you asked him , but the absence made him bored and the empty roads had somehow lead him straight to tatum’s house where he was now silently asking to be snuck inside . the hesitance only causes the boy to take more serious action , pushing that bottom lip into a pout as he puts on his best puppy - dog expression . a pause before he silently mouths the word , ‘ ------ please . . . ? ’
