Again. My book. I'm writing this so Y/N is gonna have my mindset.

Amy's Pov

I gripped Jack's hand as I walked down the familiar alleyway, glancing at him only to see him shivering.

I sighed heavily, "I'm sorry, baby."

"It's not your fault, ma...it's dad's." Jack shook his head slightly, looking back up at me.

My ex-husband had gambled all my money after we released The Bitter Truth thinking.. I'm insanely rich, he made a bet with the wrong people and they took all of my money, "Mom?...I'm hungry..." He whispered softly, an ashamed look crossing his soft face, "Okay hun...let's see if Brian's in shop today...maybe he'll give me a discount again..." I sigh knowing I had 2$ max in my pocket. Everything in NY is so expensive.

I walked through smelling the familiar smell of the deli. It caused my stomach to growl.

I looked over, seeing an unfamiliar woman at the cash register. She must be new, "Hi, how may I help you?"

"O-Oh sorry, bud...Brian's not here today. Sorry to bother!" I smiled weakly at the girl before turning around and picking Jack up, "What do you need, Brian for ma'am?" The woman asked.
I gave her a tight-lipped smile, "U-Uhm...my son's h-ungry..." I admitted, she furrowed her brow before looking us down, noticing the ragged appearance of us, she nodded slightly, "There's a deli!"

"Oh..okay..." I nod, walking away towards the smell. I sighed, "Sorry baby..." I mumble, leaning my head in his neck as my lip trembled, "Mum...please don't cry...I know you're trying..." He whispered, I tried to hold them in but they escaped, "I-I j-just..." I pull my head out his neck, hugging his waist, he rubbed my face with his small hands, I heard footsteps behind me.

"Miss, are you okay?" I turned, making eye contact with a woman, a basket in front of her, "U-Uhm..yes..." I answered, "The cashier told me a little bit when I asked what was happening to you...let me take you guys in..."
I glanced at Jack and we shared a similar look, "W-we couldn't...I-I don't wanna be a burden..." I stammer, "M-e too..." Jack mumbled, the girl sighed in defeat sensing the pairs persistence, "Alright...at least let me get you guys these..." She huffed, seeming prepared but she left and returned with sleeping bags.

I stared at the large basket, "I-I..c-can't..." I whispered, "Please...at least take this..." The woman sighs, walking to the register, I nod slowly, setting Jack down.
The girl handed him a cup of popcorn chicken, he immediately started eating it frantically, I smiled sadly feeling arms wrap around my shoulders, "What's your name, and where are you guys sleeping tonight? I wanna take you two out for lunch tomorrow..." The woman sighed softly, a warm smile on her face, "A-Amy...that's my son Jack..., we usually just sleep in the park behind the entrance bushes..." I whispered.

"I'm Y/N! I'll come by to pick y'all up and if you'd like after we eat we can drop by my house and y'all can clean up and change." She tilted her head, giving the items to the cashier to scan.
I nodded softly, "T-That'd be nice..." I whisper softly, watching the price go up and up making me wince, the girl swiped her card completing the purchase and she looked at me, "C'mon..I'll take you guys..." Y/N hummed, grabbing the bags, and exiting the store.
She put the bags in her trunk then walked around opening the passenger door for me, I thanked her and got in hugging Jack close, he laid his head on my chest immediately.

Y/N got in the driver's seat, starting the car, and driving off. I felt my heart thumping slightly, "God...I hate that people won't even help a mother 90% of the time..." She mumbled shaking her head as she drove towards the park.

I stayed silent, rubbing Jack's back while we made our way to the park...
