"If you ain't scared... you ain't human."

"WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?" Agnes asked as they made their way towards the street.

"About what?" He asked with a frown while adjusting his backpack.

"Your situation.. you know" She replied pressing her lips together "You have nowhere to go"

Dominic hadn't think about that yet and to be honest, be with Agnes had made him forget that he didn't have any place to go. He was lost. This feeling made him curse his unknown parents like many times before, but he quickly regretted because he didn't know their reason, he felt guilt for curse people he doesn't even know.

"I don't know yet" he licked his lip "But I'll figure out, I always do"

"I'll think of something to help, Dom" Agnes smiled sad "If there's anything I can do, let me know"

"I will" he smiled at her thankfully.

They were walking in the street again; everything very empty and calm made Dominic wish that was always like that. It would be beautiful if there was only him and Agnes on the world. The two of them would be happy and nobody would be able to hurt them. This thought put a smile in his lips; it wasn't a crime to dream, right?

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't heard Agnes talk to him until she touched his hand and held in hers.

"Are you okay, Dom?" She asked with concern.

"Yeah, I am cool" he replied nodding.

"It's okay to be scared, you know" She tilted her head a little while speaking.

"I know" he smiled "And I'm not saying that I am not, I'm just saying that I'm okay"

His answer brought a smile to Agnes' face, one that he found extremely beautiful, one that made he want to hold her in his arms and don't let anyone hurt her ever again. She did in one night what people couldn't do in his entire life; make him feel good with himself. Make him feel like home.

"Hey!" Her smiled grew bigger "Let's sit here; I have something to show you!"

Dominic frowned again before sit in the half wire beside her and watch her take her phone out from her pocket along with her ear buds and offer him one.

"I never go out without this" she said without look at him.

"You hide it very well" he commented "I didn't know you had this with you"

She looked at him only to wink then returned her attention to her phone biting her lip "Here, this is one of my favorite songs and I wanted to share with you"

Dominic smiled when the song started.
