Sven's Story: Part Two

So I met the nurse and fell in love. We went on a few dates, and I’m pretty sure that she thought I was crazy and regretted going out with me. But eventually she fell for my charm as well.

Here Sven paused, becoming less teasing. His eyes moved away from Maxine and to Oliver, he smile at Maxine becoming a serious expression at Oliver.

Then, one day, I saw a kid running down the street. I saw the cuts and the clothes and knew that there was one of two things happening. The kid, who was about four years younger than I was, was either an orphan or he was being beat up. And I knew that I had to go after him. So I did. I ran after him as fast and hard as I could. Which was faster and harder than he could. I think I actually tackled him, he was so afraid of me. But I eventually persuaded him to come back home with me and I cleaned him up and what not, gave him a descent meal. I swear, thg kid was like a dog. I wanted him to get on his way but he wouldn’t leave. Been around ever since.
