"YO get off the bench! People have to sit here!" Someone yells at me.
This is what I wake up to pretty much everyday. Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Scarlet. I am 18. Just turned it. I live in a park in California. Not sure what part but I don't care. My parents and little sister died in a fatal car accident. I was the only survivor. I have been going from park to park the past 2 months. I carry a backpack and a duffle bag all full of just clothes. I have no money for food so I have dance or sing to get money. I get about $25 dollars a week. So I only eat once a week. I'm fine with that though. I have to spend half that money to give to someone to let me use there shower so I can stay clean. Today is my shower day. I get off the bench and walk up to a random house. I knock on the door and a man 20 years older then me opens the door.
"Hi, I was wondering if you would take $15 to let me take a shower and then leave?" I asked as sweetly as I could. He nodded and let me go in. "Thanks so much!" I said smiling. He put his hand out indicating that he wanted the money now. My smile faded into a frown and I gave him the money. He pointed to a door which i think is the bathroom. I walked in and I was right. I locked the door, striped my clothes and took my long wavy white wig off. Yea, I had just beat cancer about 6 months ago so I wear a wig. My hair isn't growing back yet so I just have to be patient with it. I got in and put cold water on so I don't waste his water. I did what I needed then got out and got dressed.
I left the house and carried onto the next park. I walked towards the woods by the park and I hid my stuff in the bushes then walked through the woods. Once I made sure I couldn't see anyone I fell down and started crying.
Why did this happen to me? Out of all people? I know I am sounding selfish but I hate my life. Sometimes I think about killing myself but that's even more selfish then what I already do. If you are wondering, yes, I do self harm. My arms are covered in cuts but I hide them with concealer. I keep crying until I hear a branch snap and someone say "ssssshhhhhh" I look up and I see two boys. One older and one younger then me. I wipe my eyes and get up to leave. "Hey, are you okay?" The older one asks. I nod and start walking away. "No your not." He says while following me. "Why are you following me?" I ask. "Because you look lonely and we felt like being nice." The younger one says. The older one nods, agreeing with him. "Well i'm fine." I say. "Are you sure?" They ask. "Yes" By then I already have my bags and it's dark out. Was I really crying for that long?
I pulled my sweatshirt on over my shirt and my sweatpants over my shorts. I looked behind me and the boys weren't there anymore. I sighed and layed down on the nearest bench. I was almost asleep when I heard someone scream. "RICKY!!!!!!!" I fell off the bench. "Ow!" I said. I got up and dusted myself off. "Are you okay?" Someone asks. I look up and it's the guy from earlier. I roll my eyes. "Just fucking Peachy." He smiles. I lay back on the bench and try to sleep again. "Why are you sleeping on the bench?" he asks. I sit up considering I am not going to sleep anytime soon. "Because I don't have any where else to sleep." I stated like it was obvious. "Oh, well you could come stay at my house?" He smiled. I shook my head no. "Why not?" "Because I don't want to intrude." I said. He started laughing. I looked at him confused. "If you were to intrude do you think I would have asked you to come stay with us?" I smiled. "I guess I could go but not for to long." I said. "YAY!!!!!" He screamed. I started laughing. I picked up my stuff and he walked me to his car. The only other people in the car was the younger boy and someone else who I haven't met yet. "Hey again. We never introduced ourselves earlier. I'm Trevor Moran and this is Connor Franta." He said pointing at himself then The guy in the drivers seat. "And i'm Ricky Dillon." The guy who invited me said. I smiled. "Hey, i'm Scarlet." I said. "You have piercings!" Conner exclaimed while pointing towards my snakebites. "Yea!" I said. "Is there anymore?" "Yea my bellybutton." I said and lifted my shirt to show. "And my tounge." I stuck my tounge out to show my two tounge rings. "Ouch! two on your tongue?!" Ricky said. I started laughing.
"Let's go show her the house!!" Trevor yelled.
Yay........
