the wreckage of their families

❝I swear they both wear the same clothes everyday, it's kind of gross.❞

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

YOU KNOW THAT boy who wears the same pair of tennis shoes, and the same crinkled up shirt, and the same pair of high watered pants?

His dad lost his job due to taking care of his mother while she's practically on her death bed.

You know that girl who wears the same rugged flats, and the same oversized sweatshirt, and the same pair of leggings?

Her mom is a cafeteria lunch lady. And her dad works at a gas station. They live in a tiny one story house that is falling at the seams.

This boy and this girl come from a low income family.

They are so embarrassed that they never tell anyone at school about it. Although, all of the students already figured it out themselves just from the fact that this boy and this girl both wear the same outfit every day.

And ever since finding out, all of the students give this boy and this girl judging looks and indirect judging whispers.

And because of this — this boy and this girl go home, lock themselves in their bedroom, and both cry themselves to sleep.

Because this boy's mom is in the hospital.

And this girl's home is falling at the seams.

And this boy's dad doesn't have a job.

And this girl's parents are barely making ends meat.

And this boy's mom is dying.

And this girl hasn't eaten in days.

And everyone at school makes fun of them.

Because this boy wears the same outfit.

And this girl wears the same outfit.

So now this boy is crying.

And this girl is crying too.
