Forget everything

Chapter one

I crawled out my tin can of emotions and hope and placed it down on my front lawn. My house was a small box with blankets and one single pillow. My surroundings were blank and crusty. I loved on a street in Texas, Birtwill street. I pulled out my guitar and lined up the strings one by one. I sighed and cleared my throat dryly. I sang a song my sister would tell me in the orphanage and I would always have these two children sit around me and sing along with me while her parents watched them. I would give them my left-over money I could so they could buy a candy bar or two. For they were my only company I cherished them. The first, a brunette with big, brown glowing eyes. The same Beeni she would wear everyday. Along with her hand-made white gloves. Her smile would brighten my day and she would always let me pat her dog Alex.

The second, another brunette with big green eyes and a mole which covered her right cheek. With her favourite Wooly sweater and sneakers. It was Christmas time and Jolly fellows. My raggedy clothes didn't come in handy at all. I waited for the Alice and Polly, the two girls as I re-read the song in my head. Their special song. But they never came that day, or the next, or the next. Until Sunday came. I sat in my box as I waited a week too see Alice's and Polly's smiling chubby faces.

But as I said they never came. Not a sign of them no-where and then I closed my eyes and dreamt about them.

"Morgan! Again I love that song!" Alice smiled smiled, full of glee. I looked at her mum and she smiled brightly at me. "Okay." I giggled. We finished the song I cherished most and I gave them one last cuddle before grabbing into my tin-bucket and pulling out a dollar. "We can't get two chocolate bars with only one dollar!" Polly sighed. "Yes you can. What's fifty plus fifty?" I asked them politely. They stood there confused and her mother stepped in. "One hundred." She smiled pulling her hand onto Alice's shrugged shoulder. "Fifty cents plus fifty cents is one dollar. The chocolate bars cost fifty cents." I told them.

They both smiled and gave me a hug before skipping off to find their chocolate. I sighed and went back to singing.

I opened my eyes to see what seemed to be Alice and Polly. It was them but, without their mother. They rushed over to me and gave me a great big hug. Their tears stained my shirt. "We're homeless Morgan." Polly said squeezing my shirt. I gasped as I hugged them both tightly back.
