Castaways

Chapter 1

I walked towards the weathered rusty brick wall to hide from the little urchins that ran about and bumped into everyone and if they saw me with this lighted stick they'd report it to Mrs. Grayson. I tried to blow out the smoke as stealthily as I could, my view turning hazy for a few moments when I released it and the smell of burned cigerette filling my nose.

I saw Louis sitting on the broken wall in the distance engaged with something in his hand.

When he heard my plodding steps on the ground he looked up putting whatever he was looking at in his back pocket.

He smiled at me, as I lifted myself up to sit beside him on the wall. When I blew out the first smoke after sitting on the wall he snatched my half burnt cigarette and put it to his mouth.

We sat in silence for a few minutes taking turns in smoking the cigarette till it shrunk to a tiny size and Louis put out the burning end, rubbing it on the bricks and threw it on the other side of the wall.

"So what is that you are hiding?" I asked.

He looked at me giving me a half smirk. "Do you remember I told you about getting one of those packets from those guys I was talking to the other days?"

"Yeah, who were they?" I asked just for the sake of it, least bothered to actually know about some stray boys.

"Oh no one important. I had given them a little cash so they brought me...", he put his hand inside his back pocket and pulled out a small plastic containing white-ish powder in it, "....this."

"What the hell is that?" I asked having a closer look at the pack.

"Smell it."

"Weed?"

Louis didn't answer, he gave a wide smile and made his eyebrows dance.

"Jesus! How are you gonna have that?" I almost shouted.

"Hush! Maybe tonight, when everyone is sleeping. Sneak into my room. I have told Liam about this surprise but he doesn't have the least idea what the surprise is." He laughed.

"How much do you wanna bet he is gonna kick us out once he knows what it is?"

Louis scroffed. "Do you think I don't know that?"

"Why do you wanna risk it then? What if he tells Mrs. Grayson?"

"Have you been this dumb always? Think about it : if he wanted to say it wouldn't he had already said it all these while I made him do my schoolwork and let you copy mine?"

"Yeah but-"

"So what do you want? Us to take this drug party to your room with those little kids sleeping in there?"

"But Liam is too good, why do you wanna get him in trouble, we can take it anywhere else."

"Who do you wanna side with mate? Me or him?" He asked, finally getting up and walking away in his fluffy check pants and a maroon tee.

I sat there for a few minutes when I saw little Niall running towards me.

"You know what?" He asked, panting, and out of breath.

"What?" I smiled looking at him, all excited and grinning.

"They were saying there's someone who is going to come to take me next week! I think they found my parents!"

I felt a hammer in my heart. "Oh." Is all I could reply.

"Are you not happy?" His smile faded.

"Yes I am." I gave him a fake smile as he ran to tell his happy news to others.

Its been almost 19 years, I had waited for someone to take me. If not my real parents, just anyone. I didn't want to live here. I didn't want to go to work in the morning then go to school and come back to see the same faces again. I needed someone to care about me. But this place was full of people like me. All who needed to be cared and loved. I felt stupid for looking for love amount people who have never themselves been loved. All I knew about my parents were that they had left me by a house two blocks from this "Sunshine Orphanage" and they had found me sleeping by the big trash cans. I was wearing a sweater that had "ZAYN M." written with stitch near the hem of its inside. They assumed it to be my name.

Louis however knew that his parents had died. He never talked about it much but from what I heard his parents died in an car accident. I wasn't sure if it was true because that was the only excuse for every kid living here that are parent-less. But word gets around.

But it hurt to know most of their parents had no intention in leaving their child beside a big dump, or hell even inside it, except mine. I knew they had abandoned me and left me. Mine wasn't destined. Mine was just a wish to leave me behind not worrying if I would even live to see the sun the next morning or get run over by a huge truck.

Louis had always been there for me. Since the day I arrived here which is really a blur. But he is the really popular one here and he is sneaky and mischievous yet no one really knows that except me.

Maybe I just have Louis as my real family. A friend. Someone who actually cares about me.

A/N:
