On My Own

Soup kitchen

I finally finished up the laundrey an decided i better start getting ready to leave. I through my hair up into a messy bun and changed into some jeans and a sweatshirt. I slipped on my worn out converse and tiptoed into Elliots rooom. I kneeled down in front of his bed and softly whispered his name as a planted a kiss on his cheek. He stirred in his sleep and soon his blue-green eyes fluttered open. "Emjee??" He questioned in his sweet voice. "Yeah buddy its me, hop out of bed lets go get something to eat." I replied.

"Otay" he said sleepily as his slipped out of bed and walked past me to his closet.

"Do u need help getting ready?" I asked as i stood up and headed across the hall to wake Mae. "I gots it" he said knowingly.

I laughed at his 5-year-old pride as I walked out of his room and into the Mae's, only to find her already standing in her playpin. She started giggling as i walked in, which made a smile form on my face. I picked her up and nuzzled her nose "goodmorning silly girl!" She giggled even more and pursed her lips for a kiss. I accepted her sweet kiss on my cheek and began to change her out of her pajamas.

After i finished I carried her into the main room to see Elliot waiting dressed and ready, minus having his shoes on the wrong feet, he actuall did Okay. I ran my fingers through his chocolate brown hair hoping to tame its messiness and slipped a jacket and beanie on both of them to keep them warm as we walked out the front door and into the crisp london air.

We talked nonsense all the way there to pass time, so the walk didnt feel like 20 minutes. When we arrived i saw a long line already starting to form. "Great." I mumbled under my breath.

I shifted mae on my hip and grabbed Elliots hand tighter as we started to move through the crowd.

We had just gotten a spot in line when a blonde boy walked up to me.

"Hello" he smiled.

"Uh hi" i replied looking around making sure he was talking to me.

He laughed and held out his arms nodding his head towards Mae "can i hold her?" He asked with hopeful eyes.

I tensed. I didnt even know him. "I...uh..who are u again??" I questioned.

He quickly dropped his arms an flushed. "Im sorry..my name is niall. Im a volunteer here today" he said, yet again smiling. "Oh ok, shouldnt u be working, not walking around chatting??" I asked with a raised brow. He chuckled and replied. "Yeah your probably right. I gotta go!" And with that, he was gone.

It seemed like forever, but finally we had advanced enough in line to where we needed to be to recieve our meal. I eased up a bit more and a curly haired boy with a striped apron on flashed his dimples at me and offered a hello. I smiled back and said the same. He reached over and tickled maes belly, earning a giggle from the baby. He laughed as he said "shes adorable! Looks like you." Was that a compliment directed at me?? "Uh thanks" i replied blushing. He just chuckled an handed us our tray, with 3 cups of soup, 3 bread rolls and vegatables. As we were walking away he called to me, "Im Harry by the way"

I just kept walking but turned aroud and replied "EmmaJean"

I glanced down at the tray full of food i was holding in my arms and saw something, a piece of paper with "Harry" and a number written on it. Harrys number.
