~September 1~

Owen gave me a lot of money. $250 if I was correct. I already wasted $50 on a hotel, I spent the whole night laying in bed thinking about what I should do. I also took a bottle of water from the mini fridge. I think I took one of the longest showers I ever had.

Definitely not an orphanage, I've herd of how they treated the kids there. Maybe a homeless shelter? No, they'll send me to the orphanage, and they'll figure out my parents are still kicking and I came here myself. They'll send me back.

The airport did not let me smuggle my own food. I took my phone and the charger, also with a battery I can hook it up to. I packed some clothes, mostly just my jackets, and three of my flannels, both of my Beanies, a pair of shorts because it's Texas. I am already wearing my jeans, more like my brother's because he gave me a lot of his clothes. Also some of my sister's shirts, I felt bad for leaving without some.I had to take my books with me, too.

I had to leave, I'll waste my money.

I picked up my bags then dropped them. I took a glass and stuffed it into my jackets. I picked my bags back up and returned the room keys to the front desk.

I wondered around until I reached a doughnut shop. I was slightly hungry. After just standing infront of the store I decided I had to go in and eat.

Two glazed doughnuts later I was back out the door and walking around again. This time I went walking there was a lot of people around. I groaned, I don't like people.

I breathed in for four seconds and out for 6. That didn't help at all. I stepped into the crowd and began to walk in the same direction as the crowd I was around.

Few people bumped into me. One lady made me stumble and nearly fall.

The sun started to set and my feet started to hurt. I found a nice place I can sit. Something felt off. I patted my pockets, my wallet was still there, good. But I still took it out and opened it.

Shiiiiiit.....

"Fuck!" I hissed.

The money inside was gone. My school ID was in there, my J2M photo was also there and my library cards.

"Damnit!"

Here I am, alone. Alone on the streets of Austin, Texas. No food, no money, nothing. Just a bottle of water, I could survive just by water for a while.

I yawned. I needed to sleep. When I wake up I will think what to do.

~September 20~

It's been nearly a month. I am able to keep track how many days past due to taking some notebooks and my drawing books. My phone died, so did the battery.

It is actually quite peaceful. Despite being hungry all the time. I sometimes go to restaurants and grap their free water. Also when some people put barley any money in the cup I stole from the hotel.

My body changed, obviously. I no longer had belly fat, my face lost some fat, too. I basically lost a lot everywhere, mostly on my upper body somehow.

Now it is early in the morning. I've seen some joggers running around, some person that I couldn't figure out the gender. I'm not being mean or anything, but it will keep my mind entertained, besides daydreaming and living in false realitys in my head.

I sighed and took my favorite book from my dad's bag. Wings of Fire Dragonslayer. I'm in love with dragons incase you didn't notice.

Some runner stopped infront of me when I was in the middle of the first chapter. I think I recognize those shoes. The person crouched down, I looked at the person and I dropped my book.
