Justin POV:
I looked at my surroundings. An empty box that is torn and worn out with a very dirty blanket is my home now. Sigh, I wish I could afford a nice small apartment rather than this box. I am due for a very much needed shower. I have a stubby beard and very bad breath. I look like a mad person. Most people that pass by me either give me money with sympathetic looks or just glare at me and make comments like, 'look at how dirty and ugly he is'. It wasn't always like this, I used to have a home, a family. Until it all came crashing horribly down. I really wish that I could turn back the hands of time back to when it all started:
Flashback:
"Daddy?" My 15 year old self called out. I walk out of my room to see my dad and mom argueing. I was just 15 and thought that it was a normal thing. Until my dad hit my mum. I naturally screamed and ran to her side. My dad was drunk and he was swaying to the left and right and he couldnt stand straight. His eyes were bloodshot and red. I could feel is rage. I didn't know why but I knew that I had to protect my mum. I stood in-front of her bold and strong. He suddenly looked at me and threw fists at me. I managed to dodge most but a few hit me spot on. I was getting dizzy and my head was throbbing as blood rushed and filled it. I thought that my heart was in my head and that it would split open. But i still stood in-front of her, willing to protect her with my life. Suddenly it looked like my dad wanted to hit me again but the screams of my mother saying 'STOP!' Really got to him. His eyes cleared a bit and he looked wide-eyed at us. So many emotions flooded his eyes at once, regret, remorse, a bit of hatred and anger. I didn't bother with the rest. As I felt myself falling into the dark abyss of unconsciousness, I saw him repeatedly apologising and crying as he ran to us and held me as I was about to fall. I thought it was a 1 time thing. Little did I know that I was horribly wrong.
End of Flashback
I felt water on my face only to be faced with big fat tears and I couldn't stop the loud, mournful sob that escaped my lips. Soon after I couldn't help but notice a man bending down and asking me if I was okay. He looked very clean and drop dead gorgeous. He had long black hair that was styled back showing his light brown almost chocolate-green eyes. He reminded me of someone. I just couldn't place it.
"Are you okay?" The mystery man asked. I couldn't answer just stared at him. I looked behind him to see someone dressed entirely in black and waiting with an air of impatience around him. Who is he? I wondered. The guy who had chocolate-green eyes asked me a question I didn't hear it so I asked him to kindly repeat his words. He looked at me in surprise. Probably wondering how I can speak a proper sentence when I look probably like a homeless, illiterate guy. He quickly composed himself and repeated himself: "Would you like to come with me?""To do what?" I immediately asked. I didn't want one if those creeps that would probably rape me. Well I dont even have my innocence anyway. "I want you to work for me, its not everyday I meet someone like you." He chuckles and looks at me with his chocolate eyes with specks of green in it .
I feel my cheeks heat up in what I only know as a blush. Holy sh*t! He actually made me blush! Only 1 person ever made me blush in my life and he and I departed when we were kids. I guess he could too but there is something oddly familiar about him. I feel so frustrated that I can't place who he is. "Sir, we have to start going or do you want me to drive in the dark when its not safe in these areas?" The man behind him asked him with a hint of impatience behind it. "Just a minute Alfred!" said the sexy man in-front of me.
"So what do you say?" He asked me with some kind of emotion behind his eyes. Hope? I think. Anyway I don't think it can get any worse than this so I stupidly stuttered out a "Y-y-yes" He looked so happy and my nerves calmed down a bit. He smiled at me and I smiled a small smile back. Hey! This is the first time I smiled in years. He held my hand and helped me up. Then he pulled me into a sleek black SUV. Alfred I presumed just entered and drove off. I just realised that I just accepted the help of a complete stranger, but not to strange to me.
