May 28, 10:42 PM

Hey, well today wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Lets just say that when your alone its hard. I was alone in the streets when I woke up. It was so silent I was scared. I was also hungry but I didn't know if I should have moved because Alison said she would look for me today. So what I did was I looked at the time (it was 9:42 at the time) and went to a local liquor store. I got a drink and some chips which was $2.49 which was I guess cheap on the budget I was going on if I was gonna be living on the street. I was going for only $5 a meal if I was going to survive for at least a month with the money I snatched before I left my house ($100). I was just walking and kept walking the whole time looking disgusting until a car past by me and stopped and came back to me.

~~~~~

I watched as it went in reverse towards me and me being a shy and curious kid I didn't do anything. A skinny tall man came out of the car. He looked at me and asked me where my parents were. I told him they were at the house and that I just came back from a liquor store and was going back to the house just to lie to him. He wasn't believing me because you can tell by his facial expression. He said I was welcome to go to his house for shelter and somehow he knew that I ran away because after he said that he said why did you run away. At that moment I was shocked and asked how did he know and he didn't reply. one minute later he just said well if your not gonna come I will be on my way then. He got in the car and started driving until I stopped him and got in the car. I don't know why I did that but he didn't seem like a bad man considering the way he was dressed.

I knew the school would be calling home and asking why I wasn't there that day but the only thing I wondered was what my parents are going to tell them. The man asked what my name was and I replied saying "Troy". He said his name was Mark. So the whole time I was in the car it was silent until I asked him "why did you decide to help me". He changed the subject by saying " when we get to my house would you like breakfast". I was curious on why he didn't answer my question but I just answered saying yes.At that moment I was scared and wondering to myself what I got myself into and what if this guy is a killer. As we pulled up in his driveway I saw his house in shock of what it looked liked. My jaw literally dropped. It was like a mansion with like four floors. At that moment I knew he was no criminal in any way. Once he stopped the car and got out he gave his maid his keys to put away. I was curious on what his job was.

~~~~

I got out of the car and just was astonished at his house. He told me the door was this way and giggled a little. Once I got into his house it literally looked like I was in heaven because I've never been or even seen any house so beautiful before. He told me to make myself at home. He went to the kitchen and started cooking the breakfast he promised. I went to his living room and turned on his smart TV and started watching a movie I've never seen before called "jumping on fire" it was pretty good or at least the last 30 minutes were because that's all I saw. He said the breakfast was ready and as I shyly walked to his really big dining room I saw pancakes with eggs and hash brown.

~~~~

At first I was a little worried about if he put anything in it and I guess he saw that and called his food taster to taste my food to show me that there was no poison in it.The food taster was really nice I met her later on in the day her name was Belinda. Anyway so I started eating slowly until I stopped eating for a second and asked him once again why he helped me on the streets and what he does for a living. He stopped eating and looked at me and replied softly saying "I am a social worker and saw you on the street. I've seen kids like you before on the street and at that moment I knew you ran away so I took you in. I mean if you want to leave you are glad to but you are going to be involved with police either way. At that moment I was scared on what I should do because I knew when he said "police" he meant as in nice police and that I won't be going to jail or anything but will be going to court to see if my parents are eligible to still keep me as there child. so instead I just finished my food the whole time and didn't talk and told him I was finished. He showed me the way to my room in the meantime while I was with him.

~~~~

I put my stuff away for the time being. he wasn't a mean guy but it was just something about him that made me want to talk to him. By the time I was done packing it was about 4:25 PM. I didn't know what to do so I just walked to the main floor. Oh there is four floors my room is on the third floor while his is on the main floor. Anyway I went down and was just looking around curiously. I walked by the kitchen and went to his backyard and boy was it big. It had a pool with like a tanning/hanging out place with a bar. I just looked around and came back in. As I was closing the door to the backyard and behind me was Mark. He told me he wanted to talk to me. We went to his lounge where he told his maids to leave for a minute. At the time I was scared because I didn't know what he was going to tell me. He told me " Troy you're a very special kid. I know what you're going through because when I was your age I went threw the same thing". I thought to myself for a second on what he was talking about. " Troy you ran away from home because your parents didn't accept you ". Once he finished his sentence I started crying and I tried to stop because I didn't want him thinking I was weak. I just couldn't but then he put his hand on my shoulder saying " It's ok Troy I know what your feeling like. Just remember Troy it's not bad to be what you are. People need to realize that change is going to be happening. You are a strong kid I can feel it. If you need to talk to anyone I'm right here ok Troy?" I nodded my head and said ok. Then he went back to his room.

~~~~

Now I'm in the guest room. I hear the maids talking and cleaning at the same time. I should be going to sleep now it is pretty late. I just can't get what he said out of my head. Hahaha that kinda rhymed. I really don't know how to put how grateful I am that he he found me on the streets.
