a unique beginning (part 2)

Matt's pov:
The sky is grey, the streets is grey my hands are grey. I see this as the world telling us how depressing this situation is getting,or things look like this because of grey tinted glasses I found a few blocks back but that's not the point, since we left things haven't improved much. Hopping on the bus was a good idea at the time but we only got three towns over before we realized it was pointless since it took us 3 hours to get to a town that was originally 30 minutes away because of all the stops. We got off and been walking since then, "Matt could you sell that little "statue" of yours, you've be carrying it around and you're starting to worry me" Edd said to me reaching over for it. This wasn't the first time he suggested this and I don't intend on listening, and besides even if I did try and sell this who on earth would buy this. "Come on Edd, the porcelain gives me a great reflection" "I guess if that's what you think" Edd has not been his cheery self In a while, maybe becuse of this situation or he's just tired since we haven't have good sleep in over 2 weeks. "I'm starving maybe it's time for us to stop at a diner there's one coming up on the next street" Edd said pointing to a sign on the side of the road "I guess we should, but how much money do we even have, we can't even afford to stay in motels" Tom said reaching into his pocket and pulling out nothing. "I have 25£ and a empty can of cat food, Matt what do you have" Edd said looking at me expecting a good response. I don't have much money since I splurged most of my money on snacks at the motel "I have 3.01£ that might be enough for a soda and maybe half a bread roll" Edd looks disappointed but understands "so that's 28.01£ in total so we should be careful of what we order". By the time we finished discussing we made it to the restaurant and headed in. We sat down at a table and waited to be served. After a while I got bored, you can only look at your reflection in a spoon so many times before you get bored. "Edd I'm going the bathroom just order me some fries if they come before I get back" I get up and go to the bathroom, to do what I'm not sure but its better than nothing.
Tom's pov:
I watch as matt leaves the table then I look back down at the menu. For a full meal, the cheapest is 10 dollars. If we want the majority of us to not starve one of us has to be a sacrifice and I choose Edd, just because I feel he's the most selfless of the group that still has a working brain. I look up after deciding what to eat and look at the small cube TV in the corner. There was a news story about people going missing in the area, I'm kinda worried about disappearing but at the moment if we did and where taken out of the country I would say thank you. "So your getting a sandwich and a drink right" I say to Edd "no? I'm getting the morning sunshine meal. Why would you think I would get such little food" Edd said to me looking clueless. I am in shock, I'm appalled even, he got us in to this so looses food privileges that's how things work. "What's with the look, you know what I said, where not going to have enough money for food so you should get less since you caused this" "well THOMAS, do you have the money to be paying for this meal. No exactly because your broke" "well I wouldn't be broke if you would have made me food like I asked you, but I guess its ovious you can't handle any responsibility" I guess that was a little petty because it got the whole diner giving us dirty looks. At that moment the waitress walked over to us, probably to make it seen that she's handling the situation. "Sir's I get you guys are going through some tough times but this is a family diner and I need you at a three and your at a nine. So what are you going to order" the waitress said in a impatient tone "No we where just about to leave" Edd said getting up "Tom go get Matt". Of course if he doesn't get to eat nobody does. I guess I can understand it since he's the one with the most cash left over. I get up and walk over to the bathroom and open the door. I look around and see Matt running the faucet over his head. "What on earth are you doing" I said walking over to the sink "What does it look like i'm-" Matt turns his head about to finish his sentence and starts choking on the water. If I hated him I would have bursted out laughing, but since I'm some what a decent person I let a few giggles out that may have been louder than I would have liked and turned off the water. "So what where you saying" I said as I try to compose myself "well I was rinsing my hair, I haven't done that since the last motel and I don't want to speed up the balding process anymore than it already has" Matt said drying himself with paper towel "oh yeah Edd said where leaving" "did you already eat" "no" "oh ok" Matt said in a upset tone as he walked out of the bathroom. Yeah it suck but there's not much I can or want to do,maybe we'll find somthing slightly moldy in the dumpster out back that would make things less crappy. We walk out of the restaurant and head around the corner "where are we going now" Matt asked Edd "we're going to the McRonalds down the street to get a thing off the 1.50£ menu" he said pointing to the large sign on the right. I wouldn't normally eat there but we had little choice when the wallet impacted most of our choices and at least it's better than my first plan. After we ate the only thing we had to do was look for a place to stay the night. We looked until sunset and had little to no luck. most of the places where out of our budget and the others didn't allow pets. All this wondering around with no luck almost sucked out any hope that we had out of us which made the streets seem quieter than they where. None of us have said anything in a while, I can't talk to Edd because of that little fight earlier and I don't want to say anything that might upset him again. I don't plan on talking to Matt either since most conversations whit him don't go far, so I try to break the silence in any way I could think of even if it's not the brightest solution."knock knock" I said looking down at the path. Edd looks at me confused but responds "who's there" "tank" "tank who" "you're welcome" he paused for a second and let out a small snicker. I should have know this would work since he's a sucker for corny jokes. But things are not fully fixed which means I'm not done yet, I have to do another, gosh I hope this doesn't take long "why do we never tell jokes about pizza" Matt perks up and looks at me "why don't we Tom" "because there too cheesy" Matt let's out a audible laugh. It's pretty convenient that the simplest things make him happy. Edd perked up and said "what did one wall say to the other?" Matt looked at him "what did the wall say" "I'll meet you at the corners" this had them laughing like children. Was it annoying, yes but I'm glad these dorks aren't all doom and gloom anymore. This lead to what felt like hours of dumb jokes being shared. By now it was pitch black out so we settled down in a near by ally.
Edd's pov:
Yeah I know being homeless sucks for us but it's even worse for my poor baby Ringo. She's been in her carrying case for so long. I open her cage and guided her towards me, BUT SHE JUST LEFT, AAHHHHH. Why, does she hate me? I know I cut back on the quality of her food but at least she still has food to eat. I got up to look for her but since it's so dark, she's nowhere to be seen. I'm too tired to look for her, she'll probably be back in the morning. I lay back against the wall and close my eyes. Tomorrow will be a better day.
