Oh No

chapter 7

She locked up the diner and started to head towards her car. but before they got in , he told her that he had to grab something real quick. he ran to the ally way and she slowly followed. when he reached the garbage can, she was wondering what it could be that he was looking for. when she saw him start to open the lid of the trash can she called out " if ur still hungry u could told me and I could of made it in the kitchen " she joked.

when the lid was fully flipped backwards, he reached inside and felt a burst of relief when he felt that the bags were still in there. he quickly hoisted them out of the garbage can and made his way back her.

"you don't travel light do you" she stated. she saw the large dufflebag and her mind became inquisitive. upon seeing the rather large bag. so she had to ask the obvious question, " what's in the bag"?

"Just some of my personal stuff." he answered. he could tell that his answer didn't satisfy her curiosity, so he decided to put her mind at ease. he quickly bent down and unzipped the bag and told her to look inside. when she seen that the bag was filled with stacks of money her eyes went wide and all the sudden she was in a big rush again.

"you sure do know how to stack on reasons why u might be in trouble. Don't u know it's dangerous to be walking around in this city with all that cash on u? come on let's hurry up and get u somewhere safe," she said. If she didn't she knew that he wouldn't last out here very long.

they were both silent again for a time and she was grateful because it gave her time to think.

"What in the hell am I doing,she" asked herself. "it's not like u are just picking up some homeless orphan.

They both hurried to the car and hopped in, and she merged into traffic and started to make her way home.

While they were driving the mood was quiet as she expected it would be. as she drove home, she could see out of her peripheral that the boy was quietly sobbing. her heart hurt for the boy tremendously. he had been through so much. she wondered if she was in his position would she be handling it as good as he was? she doubted it very seriously. just recently she had lost her cat whiskers to a brain tumor and she had balled like a baby for weeks. she had to give it to the boy. for the most part he was handling things pretty well.

"How u doing over there Hun?"she asked lil jimmy. She knew it was a poor choice of questioning but she felt that she needed to break the silence. She was desperate to comfort him,the poor child had been through so much. she was lso so scared for him, and she really didn't know what to do.she couldn't imagine losing he entire family in the blink of an eye, and as his life was just breaking through his teenage years, fate would deal him the tragic and brutally unfair hand at life. his prior years seemed the same as if he were looking at a possible straight flush and get it, only to find u that ur opponent has a four of a kind. and a beat like that u can't shake off.
