Waldo and Nathan

Waldo was a young lonely boy, he had no friends .He never met his father. After a while Waldo finally said enough and that he was going to find a friend. His new goal was to set out to find a friend. All the other boys at school bullied him daily, so that didn’t work out. Feeling miserable Waldo wandered if he’ll ever find a friend. Until one day when there was a new kid introduced as Nathan in front of the class.
Nathan was a rather thin boy who didn’t have a whole lot of muscle. As Waldo was walking home one day, a boy that usually bullied him chucked a rock at his head. Then a mob of boys came and kicked him until he had broken ribs. The next day Nathan approached him with curious eyes. Waldo told him what happened and the two became good friends.
Soon after days and days of beatings Waldo called the cops. He pressed charges for Disorderly Conduct. All the boys that bullied him where sentenced to 1 year in jail. Waldo for once in his life was happy. While Waldo was enjoying his freedom he went to the woods to build a fort, he met Nathan there and the friends built an amazing fort that they went to when they were sad.
Waldo one day was kicked out of his house by his mom that had been drinking. He went straight to the fort and met Nathan there crying. Asking what was wrong Waldo found out that Nathan’s dad died. Feeling sorry for him Waldo tried to comfort him. Nathan always everyday appeared tired and sad and could not concentrate on his school work. He eventually started doing poorly and getting terrible grades.
Every single day Nathan was more and more sad and was starting to get very thin. Waldo decided to buy a card for Nathan trying to make him feel better but Nathan was sadder then ever. Worrying about his friend Waldo wrote a long letter and told him how he had a lot of important people still left in his life and how he understood why he was sad but still was concerned about his health. In the middle of the night Waldo was awoken by the sound of sirens. It turns out Nathan was token to the hospital because of partially starvation. Nathan was so depressed he wasn’t eating. He didn’t eat for a total of 3 weeks.
Day after day Waldo waited for his friend to recover and finally after 1 week Nathan was fine enough to get out. Nathan was still a little weak and they couldn’t play as rough. Waldo noticed his friend was a kind of different, he would not talk as much. Waldo asked his friend if anything was wrong. He said he was fine a the two sat there for a little while longer without saying anything.
The next day after lunch Waldo went to the fort but Nathan wasn’t there he looked all over town but could not find Nathan. Waldo went to Nathans house and knocked on the door, a man Waldo had never seen before came to answer the door. Confused Waldo asked if Nathan was there the man said there was a boy here named Nathan that moved yesterday. Suddenly Waldo felt very sad he was in tears he would never see his friend again. He ran to the fort and took a stick and destroyed his fort he was so angry. He ran into the street to get to his house but was struck by a car.
Waldo suddenly woke up and was lying on a bed in a hospital with bandages all over his face and he could not see but heard a familiar voice “hello friend”.
