IT ALL ENDS WITH US AGAIN

Is it worth it?

Should I do it? Should I just jump and end this nightmare? I've been thinking about it lately but I just can't do it. I think it's because I have "family" here. It's other homeless children and me-the eldest. All the things are about me and I can't take it anymore.

I was about to do it when I saw a restaurant in front of me just closed. From the restaurant came out 2 elderly people. Women had red hair just like me, but she was more beautiful than me.

There was also a boy probably my age, 15 or 16. He was tall and had brownish hair and honey-colored eyes. Then I saw Isa running around the street. She is the youngest of us all and naughtiest too.

-Isa get out of the street now! (I shouted as I quickly got down from the building and rushed to her.)

-Are you crazy? A car could have hit you! (I picked her up)
-I'm sorry. (Isa said as she put her head down. She does this all the time when she fills guilty.)

-It's Ok. Next time don't do this. Come on we have some shopping to do at Grocery Store. (I started walking down the street.)

-YAY! GROCERY SHOPPING (Isa shouted in the middle of the street and swung her hands up. I just laughed at her, knowing I couldn't do anything about it.)

When we got to the grocery store, people looked at us with lots of faces. Mostly with disgust, but we were used to it now. I got some bread and butter. Of course I didn't had any money so I slipped my hand through someone's pocket and got a wallet, BINGO!

I smiled at myself and went to cashier. She looked at us with curiosity. I knew what it was about. I was 15 years old teenager and the fact that I had a toddler with me would bring curiosity in people. They thought Isa was my daughter.

Come on guys, how could you be so stupid to think that a 15 year old could have a 6 year old daughter. I just paid for my things and went out. Isa was eating back home.

-Come on Sof, eat some. (Sof was the nickname she called me. I was hungry as hell but I could eat when I knew I had children waiting for their food. I haven't eaten probably 3-4 days but it was bare minimum for me to say at least.)

-I'm not hungry you eat it

We were in front of our "house" and restaurants lights were on. Weird. I thought it closed while ago. I shook my head and went to the abandoned building. THAT was our house. Children came rushing into the living room, all excited and happy.

I cut the bread and spread butter on it. They all ate their food. While they were eating I went to the balcony, sat there and took out a wallet. Guess what I found! 100 DOLLAR! 100 DOLLAR! I couldn't believe my eyes. I. Was. Holding. 100. Dollar. It would last us 2 weeks and I think we could get meat too.

I was so happy. I put the money back to the wallet and looked out. Restaurant lights were still on. It was 3 in the morning. What if something happened? What if murderer went in and killed them! No I'm just being delusional now. I'm just going to go there and check if everything Ok.

I put my wallet into my pocket and went to the living room. Everyone was asleep. I was about to open the door when somebody spoke

-where are you going? (It was Becky, my best friend. She was two years younger than me and not that young so I told her I was just going to check if everything was Ok.)

-you're going to get in trouble. They'll think you did something.

-Becky you know I don't get in trouble. I'm trouble myself.
-fine just don't do anything stupid. (She said as she went back to sleep.)

I went out and to the restaurant. I checked the front door. It was open! Something was going on here. I went in. Oh No! Everything was destroyed! There were plates smashed, cupboards opened. Someone was in there.

Then I heard sirens. Oh I fucked up! I put my hoodie on my head to cover up my face and tried to get out from the back door but it was locked! Shit. Then front door opened and the police came in, with the owners of the restaurant and our neighbor who hated me. Great!

-I knew it would be her officer! This filthy creature! (said Mrs. Stinky fish. We all call her that because she is the one.)

-It wasn't me I swear! (I still had my hoodie on my head.)

-This destroyed place says otherwise. (She came forward)

-I didn't know places could speak. (I tried to get on her nerves just for fun.)

-oh you know what I'm talking about. Take her officer!

-I didn't do anything. Why are you blaming ME? (I started to slightly panic. If they take me then what would children do without me?)

-And take that hoodie off! (She came to me and swung the hoodie off of my head.)

-Hey! What are you doing! (Then I saw them.. His eyes.. curios of who was lying.. I was lost in them for a moment as he looked at me. I held my breath as he looked at me deep into my eyes..)

-enough! (Restaurants owners voice echoed through the building.) we are thankful to you to check on the restaurant. (He said to Mrs stinky fish.) but I don't think this girl did it so officer don't arrest her.

-of course she did it. Don't you see how she looks and her daughter too. What's her name kisa or something.

-it's Isa and no she isn't my daughter. (Wtf is kisa?)

-Ok,ok. I understand everything and I think it's
misunderstanding. I'll check the cameras and find out what happened. I'm not pressing charges at this girl. You can go now. )He said to me with a smile. I smiled back at him and walked out of the restaurant. I heard Mrs stinky fish shouting to arrest me. When I got back, Becky was waiting for me.)

-so? What was going on? (She said )

-you won't believe what just happened!

Heyyyy guyssss!!!!

So this is my first book so don't judge too harshly.

I put "(" ")" this things so you can see difference between what the character says and what they do.

Also English isn't my first language. I read "it all starts with us" and I absolutely loved this book. I decided to write a story about next generation. Their story is different from Lily and Atlas's story.

Tropes:
Enemies to lovers
one bed and so on. I don't know just yet.

Mention of⚠️
Abuse
Rape
Trauma
Flashbacks
Self harm

I will put "⚠️" this signs at the beginning of the chapter.

I hope you liked first chapter. I thought I would just swap their roles.

Thank you for reading❤️❤️❤️
