The Tramp SHORT STORY

But why?

Waking up at 6 to do my daily jog, and eating nothing but peanut butter. I did my hygiene and put my work out clothes on. Walking downstairs to see my dad passed out with beer bottles all around him and the TV on.

"Dad what am I going to do with you?" I walked towards the TV and turned it off grabbing the couch cover to put on him. I went to the door opened it and closed it. Jogging out of my driveway thinking about what to eat because, food is very important to me.

I could always just eat leftovers. Before I could change my path I need up in the woods . I practically loved here all my life so I know my way out but, it's still dark and creepy. About ten minutes later I am now on an unknown street....when the hell this street came from?

I slowed down to see nothing but trees. Either they were spinning or I'm dizzy because trees started to swarm falling to the ground felt like falling of a cliff I then see the man in the camouflage suit walking towards me

"Please leave me alone... stop....Please...STOP IT" I then felt a hand on my shoulder jumping from the sudden chill

"Alex what are you ok?" I turned around to see my teacher Mr Wilkinson just standing there with curious expression on his face

"Um... I am uh I'm so sorry" He looked at his watch and helped me up

"Why are you out here alone screaming stop?" He must haven't seen the news

"Something tragic happened and I rather not talk about it outside ...so I'm just going to try and find my way home" I started to walk away until he burned out

"This is extremely inappropriate but, understandable I can not let you walk by yourself in this state...Come in my house and we will talk there?" I hesitated because why is he outside by his lonesome but, beats trying to find my way back home

I walked behind him, till we came up on stairs his door was open meaning he must have ran out when he heard me screaming. He stepped aside for me to enter first . Quickly entering the house I see it has a homely feel to it almost like he has a family.

He closed the door and walked into another room. Not knowing I followed him unentionally to see him removing his shirt. By the way he's in the kitchen so I don't know what to think at this point. He's not muscular but, he's not scrawny. I was quickly snapped out of my gaze with the cleaning of a throat.

"Do you want me to call your dad?" I looked up at the ceiling

"Um no thank you I will just wait it out and call in sick." He looked at me then turned around and went upstairs

"Alex come here" I was surprised but intrigued so I went up stairs faster than I would have and followed his voice to see he is in his room when I got there he gave me a look.

"Do you want to shower and get into comfortable clothing uhhh....I know it's weird but I still have some of my exes clothing" he motioned the clothes but, I shook my head no.

"OK so what is your dad's number?" Shit my dad is drunk and I don't really need tk worry him

"He is very tired from the day we had so, it's best if he just stays asleep." He looked at me weirdly and just struggled it off

He looked at my bed and thought about something" You can take my bed I just changed the sheets and I will figure out what to do with you" He puts the clothes back and begin to walk out of the room before I yelled wait

"Yes?" I walked towards the bed and sat down

"Can you please stay" I had said it more in a whisper

"I this wil-" I pointed to the sofa
"You don't have to be on the bed just stay in the room please?" He let out a deep breath and walked towards the sofa.

I layed down and curled up into a ball beginning to drift off unto a bliss.
