Like everyday I watched all the people passing by. A lot of them saw me but ignored my appearance. I get it,i am just a nasty boy sitting on the ground. I am just a homeless. I am sitting at this spot since three years now,barely stood up,barely spoke.
19 years old and already a failure..
There was no such thing as joy or happiness in my life,i was just breathing.
The sun was slowly going down as I decided to stand up to get a better view of the sunrise.
The sun is still shining as bright as it used to three years ago.
It remembers me of the time,my sister and me went hiking. She was really young but I was just so proud to be able to show her the world. She ran around and laughed and sometimes even fell. But that didn't stop her,it never did. She just stood back up and kept on walking or running until we reached the top of the hill. I think it was one of the first times seeing a sunrise.. The face expression she had proved,how amazed she was. Her tiny hand was holding onto mine as all she could get out was a high „Wow~".
We went back when it was already dark..well,I carried her on my arm because I was too scared that someone would take her from me. When me and my sister got back,my mother was upset. She was so worried because she thought something happened but she stopped being mad when her 4 year old told her about the hike. The little girl was so excited,that it made my mom smile.
I remember my mother telling us that night about all the places she traveled to with my dad. I will never have a wife or money but if I would have,I would want to see the places my mother saw.
Mom always spoke about how beautiful it was and how it made her life so much better and her wiser. I want to be like her,she has always been my role model and even tho she isn't with me anymore,she still is. My mother always forgave everyone,including me. I was such a disappointment,well I still am.
My thoughts were interrupted when someone bumped into me.
„For fucks sake. Move your ass back to your nasty whole and don't stand in my way,you fucking hobo."
My ass was now on the floor and as soon as I realized what he said,tears were rolling down my face.
It's been a long time since someone talked to me and I to someone else.
„W-why wo-would you sa-y that.." I said with a broken voice while looking at him.
The guy that was wearing an expensive suit and had  dark brown hair was just starring at me and sighed after a while.
Surprisingly he helped me up.
„Just don't fucking just stand there Next Time,ok? Why are you even on the street don't you have a damn home?" My tears stopped running by now. Well,I obviously didn't so I just shook my head. He was still holding my hand and then pulling me with him.
„Come with me."
Without saying anything I just did what he said. To my surprise,he went back into the huge building on which walls I was leaning since years. Some security guys opened the doors and we went in together,still holding hands.
„Mr. Wang who is thi-.." a young lady came running up to us and tried to say something but the one next to me didn't let her speak.
„Shut it,Marina,you ain't relevant so just take your fat ass back into my dad's office and figure out where he can stay tonight." He pressed my hand a little tighter and then pulled me into a room that looked like it was a room in a hospital.
„Sit down."
He seemed so cold, his words made me shiver.
I did what he told me to do and then watched him getting some stuff.
He placed some hospital like gowns next to me and told me to put it on, so I did.
After he made me take a shower, and sat me down on that bed again, he started to put band aids on my wounds and sanitize them.
„What happened to you?" He was still kneeling in front of me, his hands on my knees and his eyes were looking right into mine.
„They beat me up.." my voice was cracking because I still wasn't used to talk. Today I talked more than in the last two months together. I couldn't look at him anymore,I was too embarrassed of my weakness.
The boy just sighed and stood up and then left the room.
A nurse came in and brought me to another room, in which i could sleep that night.

P.O.V Mr. Wang

This homeless guy.. he seemed familiar to me.
I didn't know where I met or saw him before but I felt bad for him.
Everyday there were homeless people on the street,I always saw them when I was on my way home. Anytime I saw one I just ignored them and kept walking but with him it was different.
When I got home I opened the door, my fiancé seemed like she was waiting for me.
Never did I get home that late, except for today but it was ok.
„Where were you,with who and why?" I rolled my eyes all the way back to my brain.
„For god's sake Yuna. I just had to help someone." Her eyes were on my back as I walked past her into the bedroom we shared.
„What do you mean with helping? You never help anyone. Like you leave me here alone with all the chores but help some strange employee you don't even know?!" I shut the door so she would finally notice that I didn't want to talk about it.
The guy.. I knew I saw him before. When I touched him it just felt like I touched it before,it felt like I saw the scars and the stars when I looked in his eyes...
