Rich And Poor Romance

(Part 1 from 1. Fiction.)

The rain smashed against my stubbly face as I was trying to fight through the rain, My new Givenchy suit was getting soaked and I was covering my rollex watch protecting from the rain, I knew I shouldn’t have gone to this fucking scummy area. I kept trying to cut through it to get to my Ferrari but I couldn’t’ take it any more so I used all my strength and kicked down the nearest rotten door and tan into its inheritance. The inside was filled with dust and I covered my face with my sleeve so I wouldn’t start coughing. As the dust settled I could make out certain objects, chains dangled from the ceiling and old rotten crates littered the floor. Suddenly I heard a breath in the corner; I spun around and could just make out a small figure huddled in the corner. I gently went towards it entranced by its presence and a young boy slowly came into my view, he had sandy brown hair and a looked like a sleeping angel, dirt coated his face and he looked as scruffy as anything. Suddenly this angel opened his eyes and lunged towards my throat, he pushed me back until I slammed against the cold wall.

He looked me in the eyes and said “what the fuck are you doing here you rich bastered?” I was breathless not because I was scared but because I was lost deep in this boys deep blue angel eyes. Suddenly I saw a knife come out of his pocket and I shouted out “I’m not here to hurt you... I was caught in the storm and needed shelter”, he scanned me up and down suspiciously. He immediately let go of my throat and walked back to his mattress as I fell hard against the wall, I pulled myself up and cautiously sat next to him. I never noticed his chistled features; he looked quite cute for a poor homeless lad. I suddenly blurted out “what’s your name”, I wasn’t expecting a response then suddenly a rough voice said “Theo, who are you”
I softly said “David”.

I was so surprised to get a response, suddenly my stomach rumbled so without thought I automatically I reached for a bag of my favourite food.. Cheese and onion crisps, then I noticed Theo’s face light up. I said “do you want it?” and slowly handed the bag to him; he cautiously grabbed the bag like it would explode and then scoffed the crisps. The rain was getting harder as the wind howled around the large building, I got curious and asked him the biggest question ever ...“why are you homeless?”, his eyes locked on me and he scowled at me

“why the fuck do you wanna know rich boy, you big shots don’t give a fuck if people are living or are forced isolated on the streets, we are just annoying pests to you”, I couldn’t believe what he said, but it was true; I’m living my amazing life and there are so many people dying on the streets, I am blind. I softly said truthfully “your right, I’m can’t believe I’ve lived that life so long... I’m.. I’m so sorry”,

He normally said “what ever” as tears started to stream down my face; The sky was banging and flashing like the world would end, I noticed Theo started to curled up in a ball and I realised he wasn’t some useless druggy homeless man but he was a little scared boy with no hope. Without a thought I gently wrapped my arms round him and to my surprise he didn’t fight back or resist but instead he buried his face in my chest, My heart was pounding as I felt his warm face and his hot breath on my chest
I heard a voice say “you want to know why I’m homeless... I don’t drink, or take drugs...My dad used to get drunk everynight and beat me severely; he did it for 7 years until I couldn’t take it anymore and I ran away”.

I quickly said to him “didn’t anyone notice” and
He softly replied “he didn’t do anything that couldn’t be hidden by a sweatshirt”. At this point tears were flooding my face and I squeezed him unbelievably tight as he curled up to my chest, then I heard him whisper “the worst part is, when I ran away; nobody came to find me.. No one cared I , as soon as he said that I suddenly felt like I had been punched, how could that cruel bastered do that to his own son;. As we cuddled in the wet air automatically glanced down his shirt and I noticed that Theo had all bruises all over his chest, but he was beaten by his father seven years ago. I asked him “what are they from”. He looked down and softly said
“gangs get drunk here and like to beat me up”,


I said “why would they do that?”
He gently replied “for fun”. At this point I felt his warm tears stream down my chest, I lifted his chin so his angel eyes locked to mine then I gently kissed his soft lips.

I felt so sorry for him but more importantly I think I loved him. Suddenly a revelation came to me and I automatically blurted out “how about you live with me, I will have to make the room ready but it’s much safer than this place”, he suddenly looked at me and said
“Are you serious?” ; I nodded my head and he leapt like a fish into my arms... so much that I fell back on the floor. He started laughing and kept repeating himself thanking me, tears drizzled down his face in happiness. Time passed and eventually both of us were deep asleep in each other’s arms, Suddenly I was aroused by a whispering voice”Dave... Dave”, I leaped up protectively against anyone to attack us, once I realised it was just Theo I said “what baby?”.

Theo whispered “did you mean what you said?” I gently nodded to him and he squeezed me tighter, light coated out bodies through the cracks in the roof as we looked up at giant rainbow through the smashed window, at that moment we gently kissed and again we gently nodded off .

My alarm suddenly sounded on my watch woke me up, I leaped up like a fish out of water in panic and just about as I was going to go I heard a voice which softly said “where are you going?”, I looked round and saw an little innocent face which finally received safety and love. I looked at him and softly whispered “I’ve got to go to work”, he disappointedly looked down onto the floor and his eyes started to well up, I immediately shrunk down to his level and gently said “then I’ll go home and sort out the spare room, you’ll sleep in a double bed.. Be warm all the time.. Have constant food and drink.. And more importantly you will be safe babe”. I placed my soft hand on his warm cheek and immediately his face lit up and said “ill waiting for you”. I gave him a quick kiss and ran off to work

Once work had finished work I speeded down to my large pent house and got the room ready for my new angel, I put new crisp white sheets on his bed, made sure his room looked out onto the forest and finally I brought a single rose and wrote on a card “I love you x” and gently placed it on the crisp sheets. I jumped in the car and bolted back to the shed to get my love, but to my surprise I was blinded by the flashing lights of ambulances and police; I jumped out and immediately ran to the police, “what happened.. Tell me now!”
The policeman replied calmly “it seems there was a drunken gang attack sir”

“But how is Theo” I screamed but suddenly my worst fear became reality, so bad my body went limp and I was transfixed at the sight. Two paramedics slowly brought out a large zipped up body bag with parcial smears of blood coating it, tears automatically welled down my face as the policeman continued “seems he was stabbed and left to bleed to death, Alwell he’s only a some homeless boy, lowers the pest population eh sir?”. He walked off as I fell to my knees screaming in pain as if I was stabbed.

After that day I was like a shell for the rest of my life, my whole life a nightmare, I never felt the same again and every night I cry into the night for him, I love you Theo and may we meet in death.
