Tami

After a lot of persuading, mum finally got me to make the call. It was nerve racking. I didn't know if he got someone else.

"Hey Tami" and here I was, meeting him at the park with Harley and John and my mum.

"Hey Lenny" he and my mum went off talking straight away before I could introduce them.

"Well, wanna play?" I looked to John.

"And how old are you?" I raised my eye brows.

"Free" he held up three fingers. Wow. "No. I'm really twenty two."

Wow. I really thought they were my age.

"You?"

"Huh?"

"How old are you?"

"Oh I'm seventeen almost eighteen" like I know what the date is. For all I know I I could be eighteen.

"Cool. I thought you were older." Do I look old? "when's your birthday?"

" May seventh." I said quietly.

"Hey! that's tomorrow!" I looked at him shocked. It is? "you did t know did you?"

I shook my head. He frowned.

"You don't have a home do you? or money. Why didn't you tell us?" how on earth did he figure that out! Is it really that easy to tell?

"We would have given you the job the day we met you if we knew. I know others may tease you about it and not give you a second glance, but we also when we were young lived on the street. We know what you're going through." I was shocked. They were homeless?

"Our dad died. He was our source of money" what the odds. Same with me.

"Same" I looked to where Harley was playing in the sandbox with another little boy.

"What?" I looked back at him.

"My dad died also. He was our source of money. The main source. Mum worked but couldn't keep it. She could get the right things needed for the job that she was fired. We haven't been able to get jobs since." Why did I tell him. It just felt right.

"What did your mum do?" I didn't answer. "If you don't mind me asking. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to"

"She was a hair and makeup person for the celebrities."

" Stylish?"

"Yeah that. She was one of those." Mum would always bring me back signatures of the people she worked for.

"You've got it!" both john and I turned to Lenny. What?

"You're Harley's babysitting and I'm their stylish. Honey, we're back" mum smiled. We both got a job. We're going to gets money. Food, clothes and other things needed.
