Broken boy meets broken girl (l.h) [On Hold]

Chapter 1

The sound of the sirens comes closer. My feet are killing me and I'm panting, but I keep running. I do not want to be arrested. I know it was wrong to steal those cigarettes from the store, but I am broke, and I was really craving one. Ugh, why did I leave my bike at the park? I mentally slap myself. "Freeze!" I hear behind me.

I get startled awake by a loud bark. Struggles of living outside. I always have the same dream, I steal something from a shop, and I get chased by police cars a few minutes later. This time I stole cigarettes...I don't even smoke. Pff, whatever.

I sit up from the hard bench and look on my phone. It's 8:00 am in the morning. There's no one in the park yet, good. It's not so busy now cause everyone is on vacation.

I get out of my sleeping bag and stand up. I kneel down next to Michael, who is sleeping on the ground.

"Hey!" He keeps snoring.

"Wake up, sleepyhead." I don't know why I hang out with him, I hate him. He's always rude for no reason. He just groans.

"Dude, I'm hungry, wake up already!"

"Go get food by yourself, Abri, you're not a baby any more." he snaps.
"I don't have enough money." He opens his eyes a little.

"Just grab my wallet, but don't use all my money." I smile and take his wallet out of his backpack.

As I take a bite of my muffin I look out the window. There are many homeless people in this area. I see Ashton walking by and he waves, but I just roll my eyes and take a sip of my capuccino. Since I live outside I see him everywhere. It's like he's stalking me.

"Enjoying your meal?"

"Yeah." I answer.

Calum takes a seat across from me. He works here, and we get along pretty well.

"Where's Michael?" he asks. I laugh. He hates him too.

"Like you even care!" I giggle.

"Yep, you're right, I don't care at all." He laughs too.

"Are you planning to go to another city again?"

"Yeah, I think I'm going to Gold Coast this weekend. I've been in Brisbane for too long."

"We'll keep contact right?" he pouts.

"Of course, you're like, my only good friend that I ever had in my life." He smiles and all of a sudden we're talking about what food we like.

I really do think he's a good friend. He accepts me for who I am, I'm kind of different than other people. My hair is dyed jet black, I'm actually a light brunette. My face is filled with piercings. My clothes are totally ragged. And I can be very quiet and sequestered most of the time, but that's because I think alot. When you see me you would think that I listen to metal or something, but I'm actually huge fan of Maroon 5. I can not talk to him about my deepest feelings though...

"Well, I'm going back to work, see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, see you tomorrow." I smile at him and he walks away.

I look around in the restaurant as I take my last sip. A blonde guy is looking at me the whole time, is he checking me out? I laugh at my thoughts, look at me. My shirt is tatty and my hair is a mess. I try to look the other way, but I still feel him watching. I hate to admit it, but...he is cute, well, hot. He's wearing a flannel and tight skinny jeans, and his blue eyes are just lovely. A beard is covering his cheeks and there's a shiny ring in his bottom lip.

I finally realise that we are just staring at each other. "What?" I mouth.

He stands up and walks towards the seat across from me. What the hell?
