New Broken Scene

Money

You grew up poor. Very, very, poor. You had almost nothing. All you had was your stereo and your albums that you saved your money up for, and your little brother. You lived in a car in the junk yard. You were both alone because no one ever came around there. All you had was each other and the music.You would play your music loud because no one could hear it,but one day you decided to play your music low and sing along. Your brother was on a walk so you sang loud. You were terrified of people hearing you sing. You thought you were good but you weren't sure what other people would think. As you were singing along to your favorite green day song someone said,
"Amazing." You stopped singing and turned around slowly to see someone in a suit jacket and a pair of black skinny jeans,about your age,staring at you. You felt weird because you were waring black jeans,a white tee shirt, black converses and he just herd you sing at the top of your lungs. You felt your face get red as you spoke.
"Excuse me?"
"Amazing. Your voice... Its amazing." He said with a smirk.
"Oh... I.. Um... Thank you. What are you doing here? I mean you don't look like someone who would be walking around a junk yard."
"Oh I just needed to get away from everything. Needed to be alone."
"Why would you ever want to be alone? Its not very fun."
"Yeah well everyone needs to be alone once in a while."
"Yeah. I understand that. Its just me and my brother here alone all the time."
"Why are you always here alone? Don't you have a family and a home?"
"Well my parents were in a car crash coming home from a concert and it was really bad. They never made it home. We didn't have any other family so they told me I was old enough to raise my brother on my own. I couldn't keep the house or a job and we had no money so we live here. Alone."
"Oh well since you don't have anywhere to go you should come over to my house for dinner. We should go as soon as your brother gets back where ever he is."
"OK well he's actually... Right behind you."
"Hey i'm Drew." Your brother said as he walked up to you.
"Hi Drew. I'm Luke. You know your sister... I never got your name."
"Elizabeth but people call me Liz or Lizzie." You said looking down at your feet.
"Lizzie... I like that." You blushed and looked at him.
"Well we should get going to dinner." You said
"Dinner?" Your brother asked as you walked behind Luke.
"Yes Luke is taking us to his house for dinner." You walked in silence until you got to his house. You stopped and stared at his house. Both you and your brother stood in the opening of the gate with your jaw dropped.
"You coming?" Luke yelled as he walked backwards towards the house.
"Oh y-y- yeah." You stuttered as you walked to him still staring at the house. You got inside and he introduced you to his family. His little brother and your brother clicked instantly. They ran off to the living room to play video games. He took you up to his room. You walked in and gasped in surprise. Hiss walls were covered in posters of bands like green day, blink 182, nirvana , twenty one pilots, one direction and many more. Every single artist you listened too. He had every album you love and everyone you wanted. He had a closet full of suits and below them he had buckets of band tees and black skinny jeans. Some ripped some not. He had dress shoes and black converses. He looked at the expression on your face and laughed.
"Haha now do you know why I had to get away. I'm not fancy and I'm not perfect like the rest of my family. I like rock and punk rock and ripped jeans."
"Yeah I see now."
" LUKE DINNERS READY! GET DOWN HERE NOW!" His brother yelled up the stairs.
"SHUT UP JACK! ILL BE DOWN IN A SECOND!" He looked at you and pointed to the door. "After you Lizzie." You giggled and walked down the stairs. You got to the kitchen and took a deep breath in. It smelled amazing. Luke sat you down across from him. The whole time his parents would not stop asking you questions about where you live and how you are doing and everything like that. You ended up telling them the whole story you told Luke earlier. All they did was stare at you in disbelief. After dinner you walked out to the balcony and starred at the moon. Luke walked out and scared you when he leaned up against the the wall and said "Beautiful isn't it?"
"Yeah, its is." You said looking up at the sky.
"I wasn't talking about the sky." He said putting his arms around your waist and looking into your eyes. "Your blue hair and your blue eyes are beautiful." You blushed as you looked back to the sky.
" you know you don't have to live the way you do. You looked at him confused.
"What?"
"Were rich. We don't need all of this... But you do."
"Luke I..."
"Take my money...take my keys...drive this car through the drive through please. From the floor to the ceiling... Robbing and stealing... Everybody in the place you can all take my money!"
"Luke I can't take your money."
"Yes you can. You can take as much of it as you need and more!" You looked at him and then at the door.
" I have to go." You grabbed your brother and ran out the door.
"LIZZIE! PLEASE!" Luke yelled as you ran down the street. You didn't even turn around.

About a week later you woke up in the car and saw a envelope at your feet. It said TAKE MY MONEY on the front. You opened it and let out a gasp. There had to be at least 500 dollars in the envelope. There was a note on the top when you lifted it up that said THERE'S MORE. You went over to Luke's house to tell him you couldn't take the money. You rang the doorbell and an unfamiliar face answered it.
"Hello I'm looking for Luke. Luke Hemmings. I'm here to return something."
"Luke...Luke.. Oh you must be looking for the Luke who lived here last. I'm sorry honey they moved out yesterday for good. Were moving in now."
"Oh well do you know where I can find him?"
"No I don't. I'm sorry."
"Its OK. Bye."
"Bye. Good luck."
"Thanks." You went home and put the envelope in the empty glove box.
Every month since then on the 19th you would get a envelope full of money, and it was less and less every time, But one day you woke up and there was nothing there. You got out of the car to look for it. Instead of finding the envelope you found him. Standing there staring at you was Luke.
"Luke... What are you doing here. I thought you moved away?"
"I came to see you. I missed your beautiful blue hair and blue eyes. Luke looked Skinner than he did when you meet him and he was wearing a ripped jeans and a band tee.
"What happened? Why did you move?"
"My parents got a divorce and my mom my brother and I moved away. My dad is living there with his new wife. I told my mom that I didn't want to go to a fancy college and I didn't like the life I had so she kicked me out. I gave the rest of the money I had to you every month. Now I have nothing." You walked over to the car and got all of the envelopes out of the glove box. You carried them over to him.
"You saved them?"
"Every one of them."
"Why. Why didn't you spend all of them?"
"Luke I told you I couldn't take them. There was no way I was going to use them."
"What are you going to do with them?"
"Give them to you."
"No your not. You need them more than I do."
"We both need them. But its yours. You keep it."
"I can't."
"Take my money...take my keys...drive this car through the truce through please. From the floor to the ceiling...robbing and stealing...everybody in the place you can all take my money!" You said as you put the envelopes at his feet. He just smiled and looked at you. He pulled you into a kiss.
You both ended up buying a small first apartment together with the money Luke had given you. Drew went and lived with Luke's mom and he's brother. Now every time you guys get paid you put in in a jar labeled TAKE MY MONEY.
