Abandoned

In the beginning....

Emma's POV

I'm so cold. The clothes on my back stick to me, the water acting like glue to my skin. Tiny rain droplets fall from my hair and on to my lap in pools. I'm completely soaked.

My shelter today is another ally. Its damp and smells as if someone was murdered. Hell someone probably was, but I wouldn't know. We could be in WW III and I wouldn't know!

I pull my knees closer to my body, trying to manage as much body heat as possible. Its so hard to do though, when you have no body heat left, all that's there is chill and Icy. I more then likely have namoana again but I won't go to the doctors.

I will never go to doctors. They killed the one person I had left. The one person who actually loved and cared about me. They killed my brother. And for that, I will never set foot into a hospital again.

I see people walking on both sides of the ally. Business men and woman on their phones, brief cases in their hands, long coats on their back protecting the high class suit or skirt and top they wear. More then likely going home for the evening.

But no one ever sees me. I mean, who looks down some weird ally. Yes, no one. And that's exactly why I chose to sleep in these exact spots.

You may be thinking is she crazy? Is there something wrong with her? Why doesn't she want to be found? Well I'll tell you.

I don't want to be found. I have been out on the streets for 3 months now. I have a very little amount of clean and dry clothes left and the only reason I have any left is because I sleep in the same top and pants from anywhere to 3 to 5 days. Disgusting I know but its all I can manage right now.

I had a fair amount of clothes but not because of my parents, oh no no no. I bought my clothes with the money I earned. On occasion my brother would buy them for me and I tried to stop him but he wouldn't let me.

I have a very small amount of food left. I only eat about once day and sometimes once in two days.

Some how it feels as if the rain has started pouring even harder. I am now in a massive coughing attack. It seems to go on for about 3 minuets before I can even take a breather. I don't get how people don't hear me but I'm not complaining.

I see some people slow down and look around, but after they don't see anything they just keep going on with their lives.

You know, it hurts to know that you are as invisible as Casper the ghost. Hell, hes more seen then I am! No one knows Im even here anymore! I lost my brother, my aunt doesn't talk to me, my parents are god knows where doing god knows what with god knows who, and they don't matter anyway. I have no one. No family, no friends, no one.

I should get up and move and fine a better shelter but I really don't want to. That's another thing, I'm lazy as crap!

I cant feel my toes or feet at all since Ive had the same pair of shoes for the past 3 months and I never take them off. Due to that, their really worn and torn and in this case, have about as much water in them as the Mississippi river.

A loud crash of thunder sounds and the rain starts coming down harder.

"Shit!" I curse, trying my best to shield myself with my arm. I go into another coughing attack, leaving my throat as dry as sandpaper.

In my head I sigh do to the fact that I can't really sigh because I can only feel fire in my throat. I need water. I look to the sky and watch as trillions of tiny droplets fall toward the ground.

I open my mouth and catch a few, the small amount only making my thirst stronger. That backfired.

I curse under my breath and finally decide to get up for the first time in 3 days.
