writing the last chapter literally broke my heart and I'm actually loving this book rn so keep the views and votes coming.
Few weeks pass
I walk into the Kash and Grab and say a quick hi to Mickey. He's recently become a go to person for everything. I try and slide past him to grab a packet of chips and a can of coke - healthy I know. But right now, healthy food is quite low in my priorities.
As I walk to the desk, I pull out my money and see that I just don't have enough. Ian smiles at me but I'm prepared to burst into tears.
I just can't do this anymore.
"I don't have enough" I whisper, trying to keep the tears in. He just nods towards the door with a look of pity. I hate it. Even though I'm homeless and can't afford my dinner, I don't want the pity.
I say bye to Mickey and shuffle out of the shop.
"Y/n?" I hear his voice and walk faster. I push myself to keep going forwards, I can't break in front of him.
"Y/n" he says a but louder, obviously closer. I try and act like I can't hear him but I feel myself shake when he says my name. It just rolls off his tongue and makes me weak at the knees.
I keep walking and tell myself to not look. After about 15 minutes, I reach my 'home' in a little alley. I was sleeping under the 'L' at the start of this but depression kicked in and being that close to the train tracks was not good for me. I haven't been on the platform for weeks now.
The depression is still there, but I try and focus on other things. I'm trying to find a job. I go to Mickey's, like I said, for showers to freshen myself up. I've been given a chance at many places, but with my lack of education it's unlikely I'll get in anywhere.
I should be back at school but I can't push myself to go to a place I hate without the one I love. So, here I am, sat in a cardboard box drinking coke and eating chips.
"Y/n" I hear again and I freeze. His tone is questioning so I stay completely still in the hope he hasn't seen me. I stop breathing and pray to the gods above that he just leaves.
For once, my prayer is answered.
