Homeless

Chapter 1

It was cold outside. The sun had set over an hour ago and snow had formed a blanket all over the streets of Republic City. It was far below zero but a handful of people were still outside.

One of them was Asami Sato. Former heiress of the Future Industries empire. Former, yes. Her father had disowned her once he found out about her, so called, disgusting interest for women instead of men. She had a girlfriend for about a week and he found out. He gave her the choice, her or a future as Hiroshi's straight daughter.

Asami had picked her girlfriend over the rest. She had turned around and never looked back. She packed some small things into a sports bag. One of them was a framed picture of her mother.

She made her way to her girlfriends place but found out soon that it had been her money what attracted her to Asami. Not love. She had left her, now, ex's place the same day.

She had thought she would be able to stay with her. Sure they had only been together for a short time. But they were in love right?

Right?

Her heart ached in her chest. She felt betrayed. It had taken her so long for deal with her feelings. Her true feelings. Her ex had been very eager and now she understood why.She wanted to lure the beautiful raven haired woman into her bed a few days after they first met. Asami had refused and said she simply wasn't ready for that level of intimacy just yet. The girl in question had been disappointed and reluctantly agreed. The vixen had never been happier that 

she had refused.

The two of them went out on dates first. Of course Asami had always paid for anything. She was drunk from the attention the other girl gave her to think straight. After a few weeks of dating, Asami was the one who asked the other to be her girlfriend and she, of course, said yes.

The former heiress felt so stupid. So naive. What was she thinking? Was she even thinking? Should she go back to her father? Tell him she made a mistake? No, she couldn't. She knew that she wasn't interested in men the same way that she was interested in women. And so she went to a hotel to check in there. She gave the person behind the desk her credit card but it was refused. And the next and the next. None of them worked.

She was guided out and there she was, alone. No money. No friends. Nothing.

That had been two weeks ago. She survived by working here and there for food. She had made a shelter for herself to keep most of the cold outside. At night she hardly slept from the cold.

Now she walked out of a small alley where she had been doing a little work for a garage owner. She wore the outfit that she always used on the Future Industries test tracks.Along with an extra dark red leather jacket that had a nice high collar to keep the cold from seeping into the fabric. Fresh snow cracked under her boots as she walked to the end of the alley. The roads were icy and slippery. She was as careful as possible but that didn't stop the person that hit her the moment she stepped out of the alley. She slipped and fell backwards. She tried to soften the blow with one of her hands but that failed miserably.

The man that bumped into her sneered at the young woman who flinched from such behavior. "Watch where you're going!" he yelled before he continued and just left here there.

She watched him run off and tried to get back on her feet. She whimpered in pain when she tried to get up. Her right ankle was hurting, the same for her left wrist. she held her painful wrist with her other hand to keep it stable.

"Hey... are you okay...?" a soft voice asked. "I saw what happened... what an ass. Here, let me help."

Asami looked up into the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. Her voice was caught in her throat when she tried to reply. Gentle hands helped her back on her feet. She wanted to say 'thank you' but all she managed to do was wince in pain when she tried to stand on her right ankle.
