"Kes"

Billy burried Kes. He had lost everything he had and nothing was going to stop his pain. Time went by and nothing changed in Billy´s life. Jud was still the same jackass, her mother was never at home and Billy was still considerated as a problematic student.
Billy had a second job interview with the school councilor. He was really worried about Billy´s future so he tried to talk to him in order to find out possible solutions. After a very non dynamic conversation Billy told the social worker that he was interested in animals, especially in birds. The councilor begun to read some papers and after a while he told Billy that there was a possible job in an animal store. Billy got motivated and asked him if it was possible to earn money by doing something that you liked and the council answered him that everything was possible if you wanted to. The councilor arranged a meeting with the store owner and taught Billy some tips to have a good job interview.

Billy was very interested with the job so he read more about animals, he got a suit and he got prepared for the interview, he really wanted the job.

The day of the interview Billy met Michael, the store owner, very early in the morning in the animal store. Billy was very nervous but it was not an obstacle to told him about his experiences with animals, especially with Kes. After 45 minutes of talking, Michael told him that he was perfect for the job and that Billy remembered himself when he was young, so that he was going to give him a chance. Billy was really excited and he told Michael that he was not going to dissapoint him.

Now Billy had a purpose, something interesting in his life that was going to keep him far away of his own tragedy, something to live for, as Kes was in the past.
