120 days of Summer

Day 105

  The gentle sunshine was laying on my face,waking me up naturally.
The sound of the water was so relaxing that it calm my roaring stomach,which didn't get any food for the past three days.I raised my head from the mattress and threw away my sandy jacket.
I missed normal shower but I didn't want to come back to all these people-just brief memory of faces and voices from my past who were strangers for me.
I had no family to come back to because when I came there the house stood empty in the hot sun,even though Sky told me there are no one. I was lost and sadness all over me,the reality is harder to hold.

For three days I was wondering by the city,going to the places I knew and didn't know.I smelled so bad that people just crossed to the parallel side of the road. Like I care.
Today was the forth day that I was avoiding my "friends",when my phone was dead,though.With all what left with me-my backpack that had hairbrush,sunglasses,my camera and my wallet. People recognized me and asked if they can help me,but I'm too stubborn to accept this offer.

After I brushed my teeth and made myself look as much good as I can I've decided to try and get a job,just to buy myself food or go for a motel to shower. I exited my cave and began walking to the city center,just to look if there any places who will just look at my work.
In the middle of LA you could see so many buildings which was so high that you got a headache to just look at the top. Busy people walked by,many of them suited up with nice suites,talking to their expensive phones and getting inside their more expensive cars.

While I was hypnotized by the view I even didn't notice that I hit the man who was walking in front of me. After I collapsed on the ground,and all what I had in my backpack just scattered around me,for my luck the man was nice and not too busy to help me.
"You are a photographer?",what should I answer him?
"Yeah,I mean kind of...", I mumbled with embarrassment and my face turned red. The man reached to me his hand,which I took gladly,and helped me to stand up.
"Kind of?",the curiosity just flew from his words.
"I was interested in high school with photography and writing,but now I'm done with it and I don't have money for the basics",I said like it's an ordinary thing to say.
The man was inside his thoughts for a second or two and then big smile raised on his face.
"I can arrange you a job interview", I was doubtful but I had no other choice.
"Okey", "Alright then,come after me". We both walked in the main street,not even one turn to side alleys or streets. Finely we got to medium size building who had the sign of my favorite magazine-Kerrang!

I was speechless.
The man signed me to walk after him. We walked to the elevator and both of us were little nervous from the awkward silence. The elevator bell ringed and we squeezed into the small space. The bell ringed again to announce us that we reached to our floor. The man signed me to follow him,and so I did.

Inside of his office you could see the view of the city big endless skyscraper.
"Cup of coffee?"
"I'd glad to!"
When I got my coffee we jumped just into the business.
"Can you show me the photos on your camera?",I didn't even know what kind of pictures I have there.
I gave the man my camera and he turned her on. His face was satisfied and a huge smile rose on his face.
"Well, I think that you are part of our family",my body filled with joy and my lips wore the biggest smile they can wear.
"Oh,by the way I'm Patrick Bloom, chief editor of the magazine".

Couple hours later I've got to charge my phone and see hundreds of calls and massages-most of them from Austin-to come back home. The problem is that right now,I don't have home to come back to.
When I came back to my cave to take some stuff that I forgot,I've decided to check up my camera. The sun began to down and here I'm,looking at my memories.
There he was,the happy Austin I didn't remember,the way he look at me,it broke my heart. I began to cry because I understood that I broke two hearts.
The photos of Austin just made my heart to ache and I just deleted them,leaving the camera memory empty and blanck as mine head.
