The Homeless Santa

The Homeless Santa Chapter Twenty-One: Through The Roughest Times.

"WHY do you keep doing this to yourself man!?...drinking, smoking, doing drugs! ALL OF IT, I mean you couldn't just pick one, you had to pick ALL of it!" A teen's voice was heard, as the visualization soon showed that of a teenage version of Nicholas seen sitting down on a chair staring towards a teen Richard and a teen Nicole, who were standing in front of him, as the trio appeared to be in some kind of normal-looking living room, a couch seen facing a tv- a window revealing the outside as the time was night, hardwood flooring with some decorative carpets to make the place look homier, and some pictures seen hanging on the walls, but this didn't concern Richard, Nicholas or Nicole who shook her head; as she added.

"And your only excuse is because "I felt like it" I mean come on, why would you be saying that? WHY WOULD YOU EVEN think that was a little bit okay of an answer to using ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT COULD KI-"

Nicole at the time was seen wearing a yellow sweater, along with black jeans and brown boots- while Nicholas was seen wearing a green raggy looking jacket that was unbuttoned revealing a white t-shirt underneath it, and dark blue jeans with brown boots, while Richard was seen wearing a brown jacket that was buttoned up not revealing his undershirt, along with dark green cargo jeans it seemed; as well as white boots.

"YOU'RE not my mom and dad alright!? ...you're not my parents, you're MY SISTER and my best friend, meaning you can get mad at me, you CAN SNAP at me; but you shouldn't JUDGE ME, because you don't know WHY I WANT TO DO WHAT I WANT TO DO!" Nicholas yelled angrily, as Richard shook his head and added.

"WE'RE basically the only family you've got Nicholas, so come on and just TELL US what the reason is for doing all of this stuff!?" Nicole yelled, as Nicholas shook his head and added.

"Like I said, just because." And with this the next thing he knew he felt himself being picked up off of the chair by Richard who slammed him into the wall that was right beside the tv, while Nicole soon shrieked with fear backing up as she added.

"RICHARD!"

"JUST BECAUSE IS NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON TO START DOING DRUGS, SMOKING AND DRINKING...do you realize we're not even NAMING OFF THE DRUGS your using, because you're using SO MUCH of them, it's hard to NAME THEM ALL?" Richard yelled angrily getting a bit closer in his face, as Nicholas flinched with some fear; while Richard soon added.

"WE CARE ABOUT YOU, we want you to live a long happy life with us- and the only way that's going to happen is if you STOP USING, if you kick all of your habits; and get yourself cleaned up, but all you keep telling us is "just because" JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO KILL YOURSELF? IM NOT GOING TO JUST STAND BACK AND LET IT HAPPEN!" And with this, he quickly tossed Nicholas off to the side, with Nicholas growling taking the pain he had felt from the impact of the ground.

"...Nicholas!" Nicole spoke out with concern, as Richard angrily pointed his hand at Nicholas soon adding.
