Chapter two
Sonny was sitting beside of Will and he was wanting so badly to hold
Will so badly and comfort him after he told Sonny that he had lived on the street and he was beaten up so badly but Sonny was afraid that Will would know Sonny's deepest feelings, and that he was in love with Will.
Sonny asked Will why he had to live on the street?
Will turned his head and Sonny could tell that Will was in allot of emotional pain and his heart was breaking in two knowing that he could mot tell Will his true feelings because Will was his boss and
he did not want things to get complicated for them at work and so he kept his feelings for Will at bay.
Sonny looked at Will and softly said, Will you can trust me.
I am here for you no mater what.
Will said…
Sonny I know that I can trust you that is not the issue at all it is really hard for me to talk about this as I said before you are the first person who cared enough to ask me and the only person that I know that
I can fully trust, as I said before I am living in your house and you deserve to know everything because it is what it is. It is a part of my past and my past still rears its ugly head as it did tonight.
Sonny I told you before that I never ever want to hurt you or cause you to fear me in any way. If or when this ever happens again don't try to touch me because I may hurt you unintentionally.
Sonny I am a bit bigger than you and if I hit you even on accident
I could cause you to hurt your back more or in some other way so just ignore it and I will be OK once it is over.
Sonny said Will your were not OK after you had the episode.
Physically you were not OK at all.
I saw how it was effecting you and to be perfectly honest with you
I was so scared not of you but because of what your physical reaction was to it.
Will you are still a little out of breath still as you are talking to me and it worries me.
Please tell me everything from the beginning so that I can try to help you because that physically effected you in a very bad way.
Will said…
Sonny I was 17 years old when I was on the street.
Sonny asked…
Will did you run away from home is that why you were living on the street?
Will softly said…
No Sonny I did not run away.
Will sat there for a moment
Sonny said with a bit of shock.
My God Will you were only 17 and on the street did your parents not care? Will why were you not living at home if you did not run away?
Will said …
Sonny I had no home. My parents kicked me out when I came out to them and that was why I was living on the street.
They died three moths later in a car accident caused by a drunk driver.
Sonny was almost in tears and said Will I am so so sorry.
I know that was hell on you.
Will said…
Sonny some times it would be days before I ate anything or even had anything to drink. Sonny I saw so many people who never made it off of the streets they died in the street sick and alone. I was in the street in all kinds of weather storms rain hot sun snow and ice you name it.
Sonny said Will I have to ask you how did you survive the street?
Did you do drugs or drink to get by?
Will said no way Sonny I did not get caught up in that perpetual never ending hell. I knew that if I was ever going to get off of the street that it was by using common sense and not doing things that were self destructive that would interfere with my plans of getting myself out of the street. That is why I never drank or did drugs even to this day I do not drink at all.
Sonny asked…
Will how long were you on the street?
Will said, Sonny I was on the street until I was 19.
Sonny asked Will how in Gods name was he able to get the job that he has now?
Will asked, Sonny do you really want to know absolutely everything?
Sonny said, Yes if you do not mind talking about it.
Will said, Sonny.
I am not ashamed to tell you exactly what I did.
Sonny I tried to get some jobs for a while but they took one look and saw nothing more than a dirty street rat. I said there is only one way for me to get off of this street I started selling my plasma and although I am gay I have not been sexually active and my blood type is so rare they paid me 30.00 not their usual 20.00 the first thing that I did was to go and get a descent hair cut and shave.
It took them three hours just to get my beard and hair clean enough to even begin to start cutting my hair and giving me a shave.
They had to cut through all of the matted up hair on my head and my beard..That water was as black as the tar on the streets. My hair and beard did not look blond it was almost completely black.
Sonny, I did not have my high school diploma and so I knew that no one would hire a street rat with out a diploma and so I was selling my plasma and each time I did I knew the next step was to get a place where I could wash up and I saved up enough money to get an outfit every two weeks. I was washing myself in gas station bathrooms or any where that I could.
While I was getting my diploma and I finally got a job as a dishwasher for a restaurant and that is how I also got the
money to rent an attic room at 100.00 a month.
After a while I had saved up enough money to buy a car for 200.00.
Yes it was an old clunker and it dollar and dimmed me to death but it got me to work and school.
