Jake spent most of his time at the tea shop today but if he didn't go do something soon he would fade from existence.He got up and waved towards the kitchen as he noticed onyx had already gone home.He walked up to the counter 'sigh' [color=Red]"one honey vanilla chamomile tea to go please."[/color] he started walking through shine junction towards club lush for this was the best place for him to get a bottle vanilla rum (his favorite alcoholic beverage) .He walked past a couple happily in love with a small boy in the middle of them holding both there hands and started thinking about his past and that bottle of rum.After a bit of a walk and half his tea he finally stood in front of the club lush doors he greeted the bouncer at the door he would have stayed to chat had it been arty but instead he just pulled off his hood to show who he was then went straight to the bar inside [color=Red]"one liter of vanilla rum please."[/color]He payed double as he generally did and left with a smile hearing one of his songs playing in the club and people dancing and having fun but the smile shortly faded as he left club lush to go back to his normal spot at the park.He took another drink of his tea then his rum then topped of his cup with the rum.[color=LightCoral]'I wonder how it would have been had i been happy like other families.Would i still have written my music?Would i have come to shine city?'[/color]Jake thought to himself allot it was better then talking to people who would judge him.[color=LightCoral]'why are you homeless don't you have money?they would say.yes i am homeless but i chose it to be that way it's not that i don't have money i have enough to last ten life times it just gives me the since that I'm free and not caged by the walls of society i don't have to worry about people knowing where i live and cameras showing up at my door every mourning and being mobbed by fans or haters i can simply be a guy who spends his time in the park and at tea shops and goes to parties even though i have to hide my face and not interact with people as much but it was better then the latter.I long to eventually have a family of my own but how do i open up to someone?How do i know there not just trying to show me out to the public like a news reporter under cover?I wish i could just be me and not have to hide myself from the world.One day maybe I'll find that one girl that will like me for my past and my scars and my hard work and my loss and not for my money and fame.One day.'[/color]'sigh'.Jake then lit up a cig,put in his ear buds,took a drink from his tea/rum mix and started walking towards shine park back to his normal patch of grass off to the side of the park grounds in between two trees where it was shady and peaceful.On his walk he passed a group of friends,standing outside one of the various clothing stores in shine junction,he just stayed to himself and kept his head down.As he passed by his favorite tea shop on the edge of shine junction a small boy walked up to him asking for money."Can you spare some change mister my dad is sick and we don't have the money to pay for a doctor to help him.I've been running all over town to collect money but I haven't gotten much."Tears started forming in his eyes as he thought of his dad as he knelt down to look the boy in his eyes.The boys face lit up when he realized who it was."Your Jake Vanguard aren't you mister?You wrote my dads favorite song Watching The Stars."The tears turned to a small smile on Jake's face.[color=Red]"where do you live I will give your dad the money he needs for his illness and some extra money to help you through this month"[/color]A huge smile ran across the boys face as he grabbed Jake by the wrist and started dragging him towards the apartments.He led Jake up some stairs and through a door on the far side of the apartments."Dad Dad look who is here to help us"The boys dad lifted his head slightly as Jake pulled of his hood and walked up to the man lying in his bed.[color=Red]"I'm Jake Vanguard sir and I'm here to help as much as I can.I am not a doctor sadly though I can provide you with the money to pay for one and then some,by the way you should know your boy loves you very much and he is the reason I was able to help."[/color]The boy smiled as he grabbed his dads hand"Jake your a hero."Jake then smiled[color=Red]"No boy you are the hero I want you to know what you did today made a big difference and more people in the world should be just like you"[/color]Jake then handed the boys father $10,000.[color=Red]"this should cover the doctor and help you guys on your way for awhile"[/color]The man then smiled"Thank you but why would you do this for us you could be anywhere else doing what ever you want yet your here now standing in front of a poor man and his boy.Why?"Jake looked down[color=Red]"Because i know what its like to be in your boys position but sadly i couldn't do enough to save my father then but I can help you now to make sure this boy still has his"[/color]Jake then simply bowed his head,flipped up his hood,lit another cig,took another drink of his mixture,and continued making his way to shine park.He finally made it to his little quite spot,sat in the grass and faded into his music.
