Easy Life And The Hard Life

Chapter 17 Liams pov

      I was walking the streets and noticing how cold it was . I never noticed the cold before because if you think about being cold then you'll be cold and no one likes to be cold . I was wondering around watching the people who hung up Christmas lights and how pretty everything looked . I wanted to have pretty lights and a Christmas tree to decorate but I don't and every year its the same thing . i go to my alley and sit through the cold nights and wait for a miracle . But in this world at this time it would be life changing to have a miracle .

I saw a small Italian restaurant and i smelled something amazing . I quickly followed the smell and saw biscuits and eggs and a side of bacon . I watched from the corner of how the children refused to eat their food . I frowned .

I want that food ... I'll eat it ....

But i cant have it . I haven't even eaten in over 2 days . I got to the back of the restaurant and wait for some one to come out . it was warm considering there was a heater for the ovens back here . I sat down and for a minute I forgot where I was . that's not always a good thing .

" what are you doing ?!" Some one yelled . I jumped and stood up .

" can I please have some food ..." I suddenly asked . I have never fully out asks some one for food . I must be starving .

" who do you think you are ?! Io non sono un uomo di carità!!! SCATS! get out of here before I call the cops . " he said . and he got a broom and smacked me in the back as I left . I felt the shame rise in my chest . I sat around the corner . Waiting for the store to close .

4 HOURS LATER

I sat there shivering as I breathed I saw my breath fog in front of me . I watched as it swirled around and disappear . after that I heard a rustle like a garbage bag .

Don't do it .. You have more dignity than this ...

But I'm hungry .. I want food .. I need food . can't I just please have a nibble .

NO! you stupid shit! You can't have any!

I coughed and felt my lungs constrict . damn I don't my inhaler . I began coughing harder . my chest was burning , I felt like I was breathing through a straw . I tried to grab the all but the wall was moving . I knelt a bit but jumped when suddenly the door opened once again ..

" who is out her- I thought I told you get out of here !" He said when he  grabbed me by the collar and dragged me to the side walk .

" ple- sto- I can- breat-"

" you won't be able to do a lot if I see you back here ." he said and threw me in the street . I felt the cold light snow lightly on my cheeks as I laid there trying to breathing . I took small breaths so I could possibly get up and walk. I began to see doubles .

Oh no not now ! Please please ! I need to get back to my stuff ...

My stuff was in my alley in a hole in the ground and I am afraid some one is going to find it and steal my stuff .l but I still don't have my inhaler . I slowly stood to my wobbly feet and dragged them to some one who does .  no its not Mrs. doe.. I made my way to richer side of town . only a few more minutes . I saw the fog of my breath swirl quickly around !e from being cold .And funny thing is I can't feel the cold . it was 10 pm tight now . I only know that from the town square . I then turned the corner to a complex of houses .  I saw a family and I had to look down but I could not find myself to look away .

The little girl and little boy must be siblings . the little girl had dark brown hair in pig tails and a beaming smile with a small pink coat and white gloves . the mother had come out with something steaming in a cuip and the kids quickly put down then snow shovels and ran to her .

" mommy I want some please !" Then little boy said . he had dark hair to and black gloves and a dark coat . the little girl stomped her foot .

" no mama me fwirst!"

" both of you will get it at the same time ." She said nicely they both stuck their tounge out . in watched closely as I saw the mom kiss them both on the cheek . I still struggled to breath and crying wasn't going to help me . then the dad came out . I watched , I swear I'm not being I just like to see happy families because I don't have one . And I am sure that they are happy . big house and drinks . I couldn't watch anymore  as the kids sat in their parents  laps laughing and telling silly jokes . I walked on by limping slightly from hitting my foot .

" mommy does he get cocoa too?" The little boy asked but I continued walking .

" no baby ...he doesn't ." she said  with disgust in her voice . I whimpered from pain on my chest, one from air not getting ,two my lungs and from being who I am .  I  can't help that I am who I am right ?

Once i hit Chris's neighborhood I stumbled past a house with a black fence I put my hand on the fence gap and looked down to breath . but every cold shaky breath it was worse . But suddenly I heard running through leaves and snow and growls and a huge dog was biting my arm I freaked out trying to shake the huge dog off of me. I whipped my hand back and smacked it in the face . I dot hate animals but its teeth were engraved in my arm . I held my shaking arm close and looked at the damage . 6 gashes were on my forearm and they were bleeding.  I held my arm close to my body and my only clean shirt . once I got to Chris house I second thought myself .

He won't answer me .. He doesn't even like me all that much .

Suddenly my head was beginning to hurt horribly . my chest constricted to much I cough and no sound was coming.  I knocked twice and slid to the ground unable to stand no longer. But the door opened to revel a sleepy but very hyper looking boy .

" who are you ?!"

" chri- frie-d.. " I wheezed . he smiled .

Okay creepy

" CHRIS!"he yelled Chris came down then stair and his look alike went up stairs and Chris knelt down to me quickly and looked me in the face .

.

" whats wrong with you !you have no coat gloves hat ! You have nothing !"

Thanks for reminding me ...

" in-hale- " I tried . he helped me and wanted me to sit on the couch but with my arm and dirty clothes I wouldn't even dream of doing that . my vision started to fade in a and out turn black and color . I stumbled where I was standing . 

" n-ono.."

" Liam sit down there !" He said pointing to the couch but he didn't have to say it sit down twice I collapsed on the floor in a heap .

" LIAM !" He said and that's the last thing I heard before my body slowly gave in .
