"I have been alone for the past 10years loneliness has been my only friend even though I grew up in an orphanage I lost the only family in that tragic incident" .
Sister Martha how are you?..
"Am fine and you Liam" ?
Am well..
"

Umm I wanted to tell you something important I am going to move out of the orphanage sister..
"But you only 17 you still have a year with us Liam "
She said
I know but am stable enough to live on my own now I rented a place just a few blocks from here and I have a great job at the diner that pays well you should not be worried sister Martha.. I said assuring her I will be fine.
" just let me know if you need anything Liam am here for you dear"
Okay sister..
As I was packing flashbacks of my memory here came across my mind I felt bad for leaving them thay treated me with nothing but love. But I never felt the warmth I need.
Sister Martha's pov
In my 30 years of taking care of orphans I have never came across a child like him he is independent as a teenager I was expecting him to lash out and do what other kids his age where doing. The shock he got from loosing his parents at a young age must have stuck with him.
He just informed me he is moving out of the orphanage I will surely miss him he helped me a lot with the other kids especially the new ones that came each who were scared and didn't wanna communicate may God bless his soul..
Liam's POV
I just settled in to the new place I rented it's small and old but it will do I wanna create a safe space for myself.. s**t am getting late my shift starts in less than 20 minutes..
I need to run. I got my shoes on as first as I could it's 10 minutes from here if I run... After 10 minutes. I arrived running out breathe ..
" Liam did you run to work" said my only friend in the world Scott.
Yeah dude I thought I would not make it in time. so.. is he in yet.
"nah bro"
Good. I changed into my diner uniform.. While me and Scott were chatting away our boss came in the kitchen.. "Shouting"
"Boys I don't pay you to talk about naked Girls and other stuff you boys talk about..
come on table 6 and 4 are still waiting for their orders..
Okay here they are done Mr Carlos . I said.. While Scott handed me the orders..
" What are you waiting for Liam go give them or should I serve them..."
looking at me with a annoyed face.
No sir!! I said with a smile. As I whispered to Scott "he is in a bad mood I suppose"
"yeah bro he hasn't been laid yet that's why he is always grumpy.." he said laughing quitely.
I laughed as I went to serve the customers..
Am soo tired my shift just ended.. I can't wait to sleep
I yawned feeling sleepy I hope Scott doesn't ask me to go to a party with him.. That dude is a party animal..
He is 2 years older than and parties every weekend I guess it's normal but I am just not that type of guy..
"Liam wait up dude where you running too you not staying by the orphanage anymore so let's go party.
This freshman friend of mine he is having a party at his house.. It's gonna be girls and booze and booze and girls ...... you know what I mean."
He said excitedly.. I knew it this guy loves his girls and booze.
Nah bro am tired I just finished settling in today just before my shift and Carlos my us work 2 times harder today and you wanna still party.. I said looking exhausted.
" Aight dude I get you you are on some no party s**t see tomorrow liam I got to party man you missing out. You are 30 stuck in a 17 year Olds body.."
He said as he could himself a cab to go I waved bye and he waved back..
I can't think about partying and girls or drinks I believe have time for that later in life when am stable in enough...
