The Homeless Heart(Robert Downey Jr Fanfic)

Fields of Gold

I'm laying in bed staring up at the ceiling. I really don't want to go to school tomorrow. In just one day, I've made a mark.

Utterly humiliated for trying my hardest to survive. Eating from the dumpster was the only way. Because I was too proud to steal.

Those girls will never understand. I get a knock on the door. Ugh, go away! I just realized the sun is peeking through the curtains.

My door opens and its Sam. I sit up in the bed. Fixing my bed hair.
A smile is on his lips as he sits down.

"You look upset." said Sam.

"I'm okay." I replied.

"You know. When I was in school, I would get bullied all the time. It got to the point where I didn't want to go to school anymore."

How does he know so much? I guess I'm no good at hiding.

"But, you know what I did? I looked at myself in the mirror and said to myself. 'You are a unique. I will not let anyone define who I am. When I step out that door, I will embrace who I am.' Keep that in mind."

I smile up at Sam. I'm starting to feel confident. I should embrace who am. Not be ashamed.

"You're going to make a great dad in the future." I said.

Sam just smiles at me chuckling. He gives me a pat on the shoulder. He stands up putting his hands in his pockets.

"How about you and I play hookie today? Go somewhere fun." asks Sam.

"Don't you have to man the store?" I reply.

"It's okay. Business is always slow. Who cares."

I giggle at him sliding out of bed.

"Okay, I have to get dressed." I mention.

Sam holds his hands up walking out. I go over to the closet to pick out an outfit. I grab a my black Aeropostale tank shirt and jean capris.

I take a quick shower. I blow dry my hair and get dressed. I tied my hair into a pony tail as I go down stairs.

Sam is in simple red v-neck shirt and khaki cargo pants. He opens the front door for me and walk out.

We load up in the car and drive down the road. I have no idea where Sam is taking me. He pulls up to a theater. There is a long line of people.

I read the sign and it says Sting is playing today. I lite up inside. I can't believe we are here. Sam and I get out of the car.

He places a laniered over my head. I look down and it was a backstage pass. I get to meet Sting! This is all to much. I've always wanted to meet him.

"Mr. Keller, how did you get these?!" I ask in shock.

"I've had these for awhile. It was.meant for Jasmine. But, since you were upset the other day. She insisted I take you." he replies.

"You really shouldn't have."

"I'm making it my mission to keep that beautiful smile of yours around."

I roll my eyes laughing. Sam hands the tickets to the man at the door. We follow the crowd inside. We find our seats at the front.

I'm giddy with excitement. I love Sting, I wonder what song he'll open with. I remember the time my dad took me.

I'm fighting back those tears. I miss him. The lights dim around us. Then the curtains open and room is filled with cheers.

Sam and I stand up clapping. Sting steps out on stage. The crowd goes wild. My heart is pounding. I end up screaming myself.

Sting picks up his guitar. He greets the crowd. The drummer taps his drumsticks and soon the band starts to play.
