The Homeless Santa

The Homeless Santa Chapter Twenty-Seven: Being Supportive.

Richard soon came into view standing in a waiting line at the airport, as everyone began to go throughout airport security- with Richard seeing keeping his head hung low, as he walked along with the rest of the line of people going throughout the metal detector, all the while his mind was on many things at the time being, what he was going to tell Noami's family, what was going to happen to him, would he be spending some time in jail, would he not? all he knew for sure was he had to tell the truth, he had to finally expose what really happened; Noami's family at least deserved that much.

"There he is!"

"Richard?"

"Richard!" He began to overhear causing him to turn towards behind himself (hearing the voices come from there) as Kit, Desire, Nicole, Janine, and Nicholas came into view quickly dashing up towards him, with Richard appearing concerned tilting his head and adding.

"W-What are you guys doing here?... I thought you were all just sta-staying here while I we-"

"Look, we're not here to say you should stop being honest, or stop going to talk to Noami's family ...we're simply here to support you," Nicole stated cutting him off, as she soon added.

"Nobody should have to go throughout telling something like this by themselves, or whatever comes next by themselves... even though you've been a pretty crappy friend, and have done some pretty bad things...I mean, we're not like you were, we're nice people ...we've always been nice people, and we want to help you throughout this.."

"...A-All of you?" Richard asked looking around, as Desire and Janine nodded along with Kit; while Nicholas appeared somewhat quiet but shook his head, as he added.

"..Despite ..you know basically killing my wife and son ... you didn't intend too... and I don't think you'd ever intend to physically harm them...I think you'd ..always do what you could to make sure they were okay, you were just ..twisted in your thinking... in your way of approaching a situation.."

"....Are you sure you want to do this?" Richard asked as Nicholas shook his head.

"....I think you're a good person at heart...just troubled... even though you ruined my life, you shouldn't go through telling this to everyone on your own..you shouldn't go through maybe being sent to prison ....if you are, I don't want the last thing we ever did to be a fight....for me to have hit you, so yeah..." Nicholas said with a nod, as Richard smiled faintly and shook his head.

".....C-Can I give you a hug?"

"No, no hugging," Nicholas stated shaking his head, as Desire appeared concerned but shook her head and added.
