Maybe I thought when I got home he would not be as sad as last time. My walk home seemed longer than usual, "probably just because I'm worried." I thought. The weather decided to rain right when I was being my sad self. I'm hungry. Of course I would have to order for the millionth time, I don't have that much money on me. No job means no money in USA. I finally get home soaking wet trying to find my keys. "I swear if I don't have them I'll sleep outside!" Leroy heard me and let me in worried as ever. He helped me take off my coat and sit on the couch. The hair dye was fading from all that rain. I thought. "That costed a lot of money.." "just go to sleep, your tired I know." Leroy said. Maybe he was right but, I wasn't ready to go to sleep I know Leroy could not handle being alone at night for that long. "Let me just watch some tv, I just came home anyways!" "Okay, okay I'm just looking after you!" Leroy said. I felt guilty.. "sorry, I'm just in a bad mood that rain has me messed up.." I said. "I understand" Said Leroy. We turn on the tv to the news just to see a new fire happening near us. "I swear if the fire gets any closer I'm moving." I said quitely, the poor family in that same house goes through the same trauma every year. Today's that Day.. wile watching some tv Leroy gets tired and leans on my shoulder, I know he is tired, after all the work he did this morning he must be torn, but it's only 6 am.. I slowly put him down as I turn of the tv and tip toe to my bedroom, hoping he won't notice me. Once I get to my bed i sigh because I can finally get some sleep for once in a month.. at least. I lay down and slowly drift to sleep thinking about what tomorrow brings.
