"BEEPP!!...BEEPPP!!.....BEEPPPPP!!" Harry reached out his arm from under his millions of pounds of blankets to turn off his alarm. He swings his legs over the edge of his bed and sits up. He stretches his arms above his head and yawns.

Harry slips into his unicorn slippers and walks downstairs to get a cup of tea. He pulls his robe closer around his body. He makes some tea and sits on the counter swinging his legs back and forth.

Liam, Harry's roommate walks downstairs into the kitchen. "Morning Haz." Liam came over and places a gentle kiss on Harry's forehead.

Liam and Harry have been best friends for as long as they can remember. The day they met will forever be in both of there minds.

Flashback
Harry wanted to run far far away from that house. Those people are monsters, they don't love me. Harry sees a park down the street that he's always wanted to go to. He's never been allowed because he isn't like the others. He sees a tree house ladder and climbs up in it and shuts the door tight. He curls up into a corner and tucks his knees up closer to him. He lays his head on his knees and slowly cries himself to sleep.
He wakes up to the bitter cold outside. He wipes the tears from his face and climbs down the ladder. The wind is howling and he doesn't head back home. Instead he heads to a coffee shop that stays open all night. As he's walking down the street it starts pouring rain and so Harry runs the rest of the way there.
He walks in the door to see a family of three in the back corner and an old man at the bar stool. He walks to the furthest away from all of them and curls up in a ball and closes his eyes. He's laying for couple of minutes until he feels the booth sink next to him. He looks up to see the family of three sitting next to him. The mom and dad are sitting across from him and the little boy around his age is sitting next to him holding a cup of hot chocolate to him. Harry grabs the cup and the parents ask Harry a bunch of questions about what he's doing here. They offer Harry somewhere to stay after they found out what happened. Harry lived with there family from then on. Never once going back to that horrible house. Liam became his brother and they all grew very close. They cared for him like they would there own family. They loved Harry for who he was.

They helped Harry when he was diagnosed with ADHD. Harry lives with that part of him he's excepted it.

"Do you have work today haz?" Harry nodded his head. Unlike a lot of people Harry really enjoyed his job at the bakery.

With that Harry walked out the door with a hop in his step. He was always a very happy person.

Harry opens the door to the bakery and puts in his apron. Ready for a fulls day of work.
...
1 hour left of work. That's all. Today the shop has been very busy. The bakery is just now dying down. Boss said after these last few people we can close up early.

A customer walks up and orders without even looking up from his phone. He waits for his coffee and Harry decided to make small talk because he's the only one here.

"Where's you accent from? You don't sounds like your from around here." The guy looks up and rolls his eyes and looks back down. So Harry tries again.

"Is it nice out today i haven't gotten in chance to check. It looks pretty windy." The guy looks even more annoyed.

"Look kid if I didn't answer the first time I obviously don't want to have a conversation do mind your own damn business." But here's the thing Harry doesn't understand when he needs to stop and let things go.

"I'm sorry sir I was just trying to make small talk. Are u okay? Do you want to talk about it?" This point the coffee came out and Harry handed him the coffee. The man looked at Harry angrily and threw his coffee at Harry.

Harry screamed at the hot liquid drenched his front. His boss Richard came into the room and looked at Harry and pointed to his office. He then walked up the customer and apologized.

"I'm so sorry he has a problem let me get you a new coffee." Harry walked into the office with tears pooling in his eyes.

Minutes later Richard walked into the office and sat down.

"Harry your a good kid but this is the 3rd time this has happened. I'm afraid this was the last straw. Your fired."

Harry looked down at his feet nodded stood up and walked back to his apartment with tears in his eyes. When he got back home he didn't say anything to Liam and just walked straight into his room. He cried himself to sleep not knowing how he was going to get another job.
