Calling the streets home

Chapter 2 more alike than you know

I sat there quiet as i steared at the floor. I didnt know these people and they are beeing so nice to me. And they all live on the streets too.

"Well" the girl with brown hair spoke up "i guess its time for introductions. I will go first. My name is daisy im bisextual and am on the streets because my perants didnt whant me"

The big guy next to me gave me a gental smile as i leand agenst him. "My name is matt. I am gay and am on the streets because my dad is in jail and my mum died."

The girl with short dark brown hair hair sat on my othere side began to gigle and she said "my name is celeste and im A sextual and im on the streets because my family left me behind one day and i was locked out of my own home."

The girl next to celeste seemed to be very timid. Celeste nudged her and her small frecaled face poked out from behind her slightly curly black hair. "M-my name i-is f-inch but y-you can c-c-call me f-fish if you whant.im p-pansextual." Thats all she said.

The girl who was sat opisit me had long blond hair and a green snap back on. She had beautifull blue eyes and pale skin." My name is Lauren im a butch lesbian and im on tbe streets because home wasnt a good place."

Suddnly i felt everyones gaze set apon me.

"Whats your story?" Asked matt. He gave me a reashuring smile.

"M-my name is robyn. I am a lezbian." That got everyones attenshon. They seemed to be hanging onto every word i spoke." Im on the streets because when i came out to my dad he kicked me out."

They all noded.

"Why did you come hear?" Celeste asked.
"I knew this allyway would be worm as its between two bakareys. I also knew they throw out all the unsold pastrys at the end of the day and i talked to someone who works hear. He will bring me all the undold pastrys at the end of the day."

I remembered the bag of pastrys the boy had alredy given me so i walked over and grabed it. I sat back down they where mostly doghnuts but there was enuff for one each so i handed them out. Everyone said thanks and they began to eat the doghnuts.

I finaly felt at home. Around people i could call my family, but at least this family whont leave me because of my sexualaty. As we all ate the doughnuts i realised how fast they where all eating. I could only imagin how long it had been since they last ate.

"How many other LGBT+ people are on the streets?"i asked

"Honey most of the people on the streets ar LGBT+ sharing the same stories as us. Being kicked ou because they love the same gender or both genders or all four genders." Matt said with a tone of sadness in his voice. "Almost every day some poor kid dies only to be replaced by another one" matts eyes began to form tears. Poor guy i thought.

"We have to help them" i said.

"How?" Daisy asked.

"I dont know yet but we cant leave them to die we have to end the cycle!"

They all agreed but it was becomeing night.

"Looks like its bead time." Lauren states.

I began to feel dread take over my body.

"We all cuddle together for wormth at night you can join us if you whant" celeste said camly.

I noded as we all huddled to gether and befor i knew it i was fast asleep.
