Hello everyone. :) :3
But with so many things going on, I don't know what to do anymore. I am lost – but I know I have family there all the way besides me. And all of you of course! ^_^ *heart* So it's a happy feeling to have. It's warm and knowing that many of us around the world are together as family – It's warm and it brings a smile to your face. I know that I am blabbering about this…But I feel like my heart shattered into millions of pieces. But I know with all my friends - that are now my brothers and sisters, and my family will help me pick up those pieces…I guess I just need a little hand. With all of you reading my fic's/stories makes me cry to be honest.
I never expected so much support… :,)
So I say:
"Thank You!" *Heart*
Enjoy~
Our Side Of The World l~oOo~l
Chapter 3: So far, our hope is rising
Our hope that was seemed gone is rising again,
All because we stay together as one,
None of us are alone in this world we called home,
Now we live how we are and we keep living,
Because who said we can't put up a fight without trying?

I look at the emerald eye as it shines so bright. The only question I have on my mind at the moment – Where is the other eye? I focus at the sniffing sounds coming from them as I lean closer to get a better look. I accidently sneeze and alerted the person as I hear stumbling through the sheets.
"Hey! It's ok! I won't hurt you." I reassure them as the emerald eye grew wider in fear.
A hoarse and scared voice echoes through the dark alley, "That's what they said! And this is where I ended up! I'm all alone!"
I am caught off guard. I didn't expect that at all.
"Well, I'm not like them, I am like you."
"How?"
"Come here – and you will see." I smile gently as I see their hands and legs scoot over quietly, bright red orange hair stood out as I see that this person is a he. His face is full of scars and an eye-patch covers his right eye. Like how my eye was like that time when…they…
"Holy moly…ya' look beat…" I hear as I see him looking at me in awe. Heh…curious I see in his eye as he gulps.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. And plus, I don't like hurting anyone, so – what are you doing here?"
He stops looking at me instantly as he looks down, wrapping his torn brown coat around his tiny frame as I see the only clothes he has on is a green medium-sleeved shirt with pieces dangling down that was possibly torn from being in a fight and brown pants that are raggedy with light-brown boots that has holes in them. What has this boy been through?
"I…I…Ummm…I have been abandoned."
"What?" I am so caught in shock that I couldn't believe this happening.
"I was abandoned…by my grandfather – he sold me in fact. To these people I didn't know, I thought it would be a better life…" He stops for a moment. But then I see tears run down his face as his lips trembles.
"I was so wrong!" He lunges towards me as I wrap my hands around him, I know I said maybe a million times I am not a hugger. But it feels warm, and it feels safe and happy – well, to me it does. I wonder if everyone likes hugs…in fact – I think everyone needs a hug!
"It's ok…It's alright. You are safe now, they won't hurt you anymore." I run my fingers through his hair and rub his back as I calm his sobs and tears, he looks up at me as he sniffs,
"W-will you help me?"
I smile, "Of course! But first…" He stares at me wondering if I am lying or not. "What's your name?"
"Lavi…Hehe Lavi, that's my name!" He grins as I notice I have been here for some time.
"Ok, Lavi. Do you want to meet the others?"
"The 'others'?"
"Yes, they will be happy to see you. I'm sure they won't hurt you either." I smile as I lend a hand to Lavi, he gladly takes it, he is WAY much taller than me, but, what can ya' do? He nods to me as to say "Let's go!" I nod back and I step over the sheets as I have an idea.
"Alma! Kanda!" I wave my right arm in the air to signal them. They turn around, they seem serious – as if they had a serious conversation, but Alma smiles as he sees my signal and runs towards me and Lavi as Kanda jogs over as I see his hair flying behind him.
"What took you so long, Allen-Kun?!" Alma pouts, he lectures me about taking so long.
Kanda notices Lavi holding my left hand and sniffs the air, "Who is he?" Very persistent he is.
Lavi grips my hand a little tighter to show he is a bit shy. I then turn around to see Lavi as on the ground. No wonder they can't see him, if he was standing up – they would've saw him straight away.
Alma walks past me to kneel down to Lavi's level, "Helllloooooo~ anyone there? ~" Alma says in a baby voice as Lavi peeks to see Alma's face right in front of him.
"Ahhh!" I hear as I feel two arms grip my waist as I see they are Lavi's, his face buries into my back as I laugh a little.
"It's ok, they are not gonna' hurt ya'…" Lavi must have gone through a lot; it seems he doesn't trust people that easy. "Look, Alma and Kanda are like you and me. See?" I smile and he towers over me as he stands straighter, he looks at Kanda and Alma.
"Konichuwa." Kanda said in Japanese, we all stood in silence and then Lavi opens his mouth,
"Moshi Mosh." Lavi replies, as he too says "hello" to Kanda. Lavi knows Japanese. Wow.
Alma pipes in too, "Hi hi there! Hehehe, what's your name? My name is Alma!" Alma smiles a goofy smile as he looks up at Lavi.
"L-Lavi…Nice to meet ya'…" Lavi smiles a small smile as he looks at Kanda.
"Kanda Yu. Just don't call me my first name – Just call me Kanda." Kanda announces as everyone seems to be smiling. I think back to my idea,
"Oi. Everyone, how about we use those sheets to upgrade our 'home'. Ne?"
Lavi softens his grip on my hand knowing he is safe, Kanda and Alma nod in sync as they make their way to the alley with the sheets. I look up to Lavi,
"So, Lavi. How old are ya'?"
"13." Wow…the same age as Yu- I mean Kanda! Phew. Lucky I am saying this in my head. Hehe.
"How old are ya' Allen-Chan?"
"10."
"Holy Sh- I mean…Ahem…Holy moly! You are that young?!" He asks seeming surprised at my age.
"There are many who are younger than me in this world. So, I am used to living this way, ever since, since then…" I take a big breathe as I pause for a little while as Lavi kneels down to me with a grin. It gave me a little push that made me, to think I can tell them everything. "Since…they gave me this scar – and burned my arm…" Lavi grin disappeared as he lets go of my hand and runs off to Kanda and Alma. He must be disgusted with me…
I stand in silence when I see the baker; looking at me with…wait…is that…? He keeps his eyes on me as he comes out the shop; I back away a bit as he looks at me with…
…Sympathy?
My eyes widen as he hands out a loaf of bread. My mouth waters as I can feel my stomach twisting in hunger, my eyes watch the bread being placed on the ground as I look up to the man with my mouth open and my eyes wide in shock. What is he thinking?
"This is for you. I have been watching you for years being almost starved to death and paralysed by the cold. You are to be noticed. I don't want to see you, and now your friends being in that state."
"You…You were the one who-"
"Yes. I went in that "Char Char Char Bar and Grill" to give you that meat. Don't take me as a cold hearted person. THERE are PEOPLE who CARE about ALL OF YOU. I promise you that. Hope, don't let anything get in your way – I wish I could've offered you more."
"This is fine." I mumble. A few tears escapes from my eyes as I try to wipe them away. I walk to the bread near the baker as I look at both bread and baker with red eyes and sniffles.
"What was that young boy?" He asks gently as I can hear Alma, Kanda and Lavi coming back.
"It's absolutely fine Mr, this offering! Thank you!" I smile as he smiles back and ruffles my hair.
"Merry Christmas…Allen," I hear as he makes his way to the shop. Alma, kanda and Lavi sees me pick up the bread as we all smile. "And remember! You will always find Hope!"
"Seems that people don't judge us like we thought…" Lavi said as he smiles at me. Wasn't he disgusted with me?
"Allen-Kun, we got the sheets!" Alma smiles at me as I can see dried tears marks, same with Lavi and only Kanda had one. What tha-
"Oi! Let's go home now." Kanda suggests as we all nod and I look around me…seeing endless snow. Snowflakes pour down without end, I then start to shiver, all of this occurring in two days made my whole body feel warm and it's like it wasn't snowing at all. We all walk a steady pace as I hold the bread against my chest to try and keep it warm.
I then feel a warm touch cover my whole body again, Lavi put a purple sheet on me as he smiles, Kanda puts a gold sheet on Alma, and Kanda puts a dark blue sheet and Lavi does the same with a green sheet. We may be small, but we are big in numbers so far. I didn't ever know this was going to happen in my life – I have a life now. A family. Hope.
I smile to myself as I look at our new family member Lavi that is now comfortable with us and then to Alma and Kanda that doesn't mind us being a family. Days move so fast, and of all days, God let me find Hope. Maybe all I needed was patience, or maybe…all I needed was Hope. And they gave me that hope – now I hope to do the same like with Lavi, to make those like me feel Hope and to be loved, to feel warmth of hugs and laugh with no care in the world as we all smile. To try new things like ice-skating, to make new brothers and hopefully sisters – and to find, maybe, just maybe someone that can care for us, to love us, to give us Hope. I giggle to myself as I feel a warm feeling in my chest and my heart beating happily as I had to say this:
"Merry Christmas, everyone!"
I hope I didn't disappoint anyone with this chapter! I gave it my best! Plus, I was listening to "The A Team" by "Ed Sheeran" Also, "Changing" by "Stephanie" which is from the last DGM ending. I WISH DGM CONTINUED SO MUCH! (In the anime Series and Manga) (Wait! I believe it might be continuing! Katsura Hoshino-San has an Instagram account!
