December 24, 2030 was the day where i woke up in the early morning and bought Coach his new TV but put in a safe place where he wouldn't see as i come in the apartment figuring that he doesn't go to work.I'll wait until he goes to bed right after he finishes decorating the Christmas tree at night.Where i hid the TV now is inside of the neighbors next to coach and ask him to take care of it and understood why since i told him it was a surprise for my friend.I went outside in the city to wander around what's going on nowadays and see there are a lot of homeless people in the streets without a gift to have.In my mind i feel like i should something about it but then again,i don't feel like helping anyone at all.But i all of a sudden,when i asked them if they needed any money then said,"No."I talked to this guy named Daniel and he told me about how he became homeless and was interested into listening his story.We sat on the park bench and started to have a nice conversation then told me his tragic accident.Daniel said,"my parents were murdered and that leaves me homeless because no one was there to be there for me."I knew I felt his pain before and told him these words."If you feel like giving up in life in any sort of way,then you are not giving it your all because you don't believe in yourself.You don't know what you are capable of doing in life but you always got to tell yourself that you can,you can go through life,you can go through poverty,you can go through struggles,you can go through anything.Reason why is because all you gotta do is believe what you think your not capable of and overcoming what is being thrown at you."Daniel was surprised what I said to him since he was silent.I left him speechless at the moment leaving him to realize what he should really do in his life.Telling Daniel i'll be right back left him sad but i'm just going the store and buy something for him to eat since all i wanted to do was help out others.
I bought the guy a morning breakfast sandwich along with water and a blanket to help keep him warm.So i went to the park bench but he wasn't there,so i called out his name,"Daniel!Daniel!Daniel where are you!"Couldn't find him any where in the park guessing he had to go somewhere.Few minutes later of walking i found him playing with children but their parents were too scared to see Daniel playing with their kids so one of the children's father punched the man in the face and leaving him there alone.I knew what he missed the most,it was his childhood.I recognized the sadness of his eyes seeing him wishing he had a better life at the moment but couldn't handle the pressure being pressed onto his shoulders because he never experience the joy of being a child.I quickly ran to him as fast as i could giving him the breakfast he needed along with the blanket he needed for the night.Quickly got him up from the ground and walking him to the park bench just staying with him made him feel he finally had someone to talk to.After minutes passed by i gave him a goodbye hug and told him to be safe in the streets.I went back to the apartment when all of a sudden it started to snow and enjoyed it and continued to walk to coach's apartment door.Once i went inside i lock the door guessing no one would go outside in this late afternoon.As soon as i came in i went to bed resting the long rough day i had earlier along with the fact that i got super lucky that one time where i was competing in a street fight for money.Laying on bed that day thinking how tomorrow will be on Christmas Day because anything can happen on that day.Reason why i'm saying this is because not everyone will have a good Holiday and i'm trying to see what i can do tomorrow to make it the best day for me and Coach.I went outside the balcony for a while seeing the beautiful sun setting down the sky and see so much Christmas cheer from everyone walking around the city mostly everyone.
Coach came to the balcony saying to me,"You have anything on your mind Miguel?" "No just the fact that not everyone gets what they want in the city for a few folks makes feel like they deserve much better than this."Coach seemed to understand where i'm coming from telling me he wanted to help those who needed help."What do you say on Christmas we both help the homeless as a Christmas wish?"This was strange because I never knew coach was this helpful on giving a hand to those who look for a friend.The questions in my head started to scramble in my head asking why would he do this sort of thing.I just went along with his question and said yes since i had no other option.Later in the morning,me and Coach went walking around the blocks in NYC looking for stores but rarely see any open stores because of the holidays.After that then by food,blankets,drinks and all sorts of items for obvious reasons.I noticed that the costs of all these items were cheap but was way too much."Are you sure you have enough money for all this stuff coach?"i said."Yes i do have enough for all this,worried.Why ask?" "Just wondering."i said.Afterwards we went looking around the city looking for any homeless takers able to get free items and food from our hands.We offer to this one guy in the alley ways who had a dog as a companion sleeping together and asked him if he wanted any food."Hey sir,i got something for your Christmas gift."He opened his eyes and saw food then stood up and said,"oh thank you so much i don't how to repay you guys."Coach said,you don't have to repay us sir you deserve it."The homeless man with the grey beanie that we talked said,"god bless your souls of kindness."We gave him a pat on the back and gave him a hug so he knows that there is hope out there.Seeking for others out there,we came across the jackpot,meaning a whole community of homeless and started walking towards them around an out of business restaurant that required some of the stuff that the homeless need.They seem to be holding hands and saying their prayers in a circle so with all due respect,we waited until they were done with their prayer not wanting to interrupt their actions."This seems like a lot of people to give stuff coach,are you sure we can give them all the things they need.""Doesn't matter if you can't give all of them gifts because once you start helping one person,you help everyone around them."said coach.After a while we waited until the group circle was starting to separate so then we can give them what they want.One of the people that were in the circle went up to us like if he knew what's up since he knew why we were here for."You guys looking for trouble or you guys trying to act stupid?" "No,we just came by to give you a souvenir for you guys."Said coach."Thanks for your peace offering,now i can celebrate Christmas with something to have for everyone."Never got the guys name,he just said thank you and left without saying a word of goodbye.
Leaving the streets we went back walking to the apartments where Coach lives and started to hear a mysterious sound.We don't where it came from but we didn't want to find out.The sound was like a loud bang along with dogs barking in a dark whisper sort of way.It was unnatural to hear something like since you don't hear that everyday.Coach started to look at the abandoned house under the highway so i started to look at the same direction where he was looking at.The house was broken,it had a gate where it kept banging on the fence door and then the door of the abandoned house started to creek open but there was no wind blowing that much force to open the gate.It was almost supernatural to see such strange events while walking back home because we started to hear whispers in the house that gave Coach the chills crawling under his spine.We still stared at the house until we started to walk towards it like a couple of idiots that don't know any common sense.The wooden balcony had cracked once we walked on it making us fall under the house balcony discovering a pile of blood with photos every where."oh my god.What kind of house is this!?We crawled under making sure we don't fall into any traps and separated to see what we find because were curious about this particular house that we've never seen before until now.Under this abandoned house was just photos until i found one that gave my attention.It was burned but showed a photo of a mom and dad carrying their son in their hands.I start to hear ringing in my ears like if you were too close to a grenade explosion.Then i had a tragic headache that was so bad,that i had to scream for help once coach heard me.I heard him calling my name once i started lose my eye vision.The photo that i saw was familiar that i started to have these visions of my parents being tortured in a dark room with a man who wears a mysterious black suit and tie.It looked like an ordinary business man but he was holding a whip with a black hat.The vision was very memorable like if i saw it actually happening.I heard it creeping behind me once i blinked my eyes and the next thing you know,he put on his hands on my mouth and nose to cover he oxygen while i tried to gasp for air remaining useless at the point.The evil voice kept calling my name,"Miguel!Miguel!Miguel!"Few seconds later i woke up and saw that i was in bed seeing the lights shine.Opening my eyes even wider made me realize i was in the hospital with coach by my side sitting their waiting for the nurses to come."uhh....what happened coach?" Coach said,"I wish i knew what happened but we got to wait until we hear what the nurses have to say.At that point on i felt like i should do something about this dream or whatever it was because it started to give me the pressure to feel stuck in my problems.These dreams weren't any accident,they were true visions that have happened before i went to that Abandoned house.It was telling me that my parents were in trouble for the second or third time already with me this time ending up in the hospital wishing if i truly understood what was going on.I heard footsteps outside the room and the door opened with two nurses coming in along with a man wearing the suit i had in my vision knowing something is going on here.
