Bella POVs

I sit here against the cold stone wall, I watch as people rush by to get out of the snow not even noticing me. The dirty and beatened shell of a girl trying to stay warm in this weather. This weather wasn't normal for southern cali. I believe this snow storm is the worst i've seen but I could be wrong. I never had to worry about finding shelter or food to eat before but what 18 year old in high school does.

This time last year I was living at home haveing a normal childhood but this year im living on the streets with no place to call home. My parents kicked me out of the house for something that wasnt my fault. I didn't ask for that night to happen. I didn't asked to be drugged and asulted by my fathers boss. I didn't ask to become a teen parent.

My parents refused to believe me about the attack when I found out about my baby at three months. They wanted me to get rid of "the problem" and to pretend it never happened. So, they could continue on with their perfect country club lives. When I refused to do as they demanded, I was told to pack my things and get out. I grabbed a backpack stuffed clothes into it and the money from my birthday in September. As I left, they told me to never contact them again.

Even though I was able to walk to the next town of Charming to be as far away from my parent as possible. I had no one to help me leaving me on the streets ever since that day in early november. As I look around i believed it must be near Christmas now as people are buying tree's from the tree lot across the road.

I don't have any money left leaving me to find food in trash cans and begging for any spare change people are willing to give. I usually sleep in a alleyway or on a park bench. This brings me to where I am now curled up in a allyway trying to sleep. I was trying to ignore my growling stomach as I was not able to get anything to eat today or even yesterday. As I willed myself to go to sleep I heard yelling comeing from the other end of the ally.

I turned towards the sound to see what was happening only to see two guys beating another man up. I knew I shouldn't get involved but my stomach had other plans. As my stomach growled loudly, one of the guy turned and saw me causing me to freeze. I tryed to will myself to blend into the was as he gabbed his friends arm and pointed me out.

As his friend turned to look to see me curled at the end of the ally, he let the guy they were beating go. They began to walk towards me and I was scared for my live. I sat there shakeing as they approached me. I knew what was going to happen next so Iclosed my eyes. I then heard two gun shoots. As I opened my eyes the man layed 5 ft from me dead when I noticed the guy that they had attacked had the gun.

He stalked towards me untill he was right infront of me. He knelled down amd grasped my chin pulling my face up before he spoke, " you seem to be my good luck charm tonight, darlin."

He stood up pulling me up with him. I tryed to pull away but he held my arm firmly. "Your not going anywhere but with me with what you just saw" he stated.

He pulled out his phone and began to speak "Something went down and I have Witness. I need someone to come pick us up."

As he said these words everything went black.
