A/N: Sorry it took so long for me to post chapter 2. It's summer, so I've been away. Thank you to those who reviewed. Please tell me what you think, if not, I'll get discouraged and stop writing it. So please R/R.
'You trusted the wrong person. You would have to confide in someone you don't even know. Idiot.' Before David knew it, he was standing before a payphone, wondering if, perhaps, he could call his mother, if she even still lived there. 'Does she even still remember about me? She's probably forgotten about me, and moved on.' God, he missed his mother so much. He felt a lone tear roll down over his cheek. Then he brushed it away with the back of his hand, as if dismissing the pain and loneliness that the tear represented. He quickly thrust his hands deep into his pockets, searching for some money, any money, so he could call his mother. After the frantic search in all of his pockets, he found nothing. 'Damn it. Then again, what did I expect?' David stepped back from the telephone. 'As much as I hate to do this, I guess I have to.' David lowered his head shamefully and held out his hands, asking for money. 'All I need is some change, just enough to use the phone, then I can stop all of this. The last thing that I want right now is pity.'
A middle-aged woman walked by the begging teenager. "Uh, excuse me miss?" The woman turned and looked at David. Upon seeing him, a look of horror washed across her face, as she quickly rushed away. 'Do I look that bad?'
It was a few hours later, and David had long since, lost hope. He just sat on the busy sidewalk with his face in his hands. "What happened to me?" Before he realized it, David was sobbing quietly. He felt a hand touch his shoulder, and he casually brushed it away. "I won't let you use me for money." He soon after, felt that hand on his shoulder again. David quickly stood up to confront this person. "I told you already-" He stopped short of finishing his sentence as he noticed that he was not looking at a filthy old man, but a beautiful young woman about the same age as him. She had long, red hair, and very familiar green eyes. 'Where have I seen those eyes at before?' She was followed closely by a tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy, also about David's age.
"I promise you that I would never do anything like that to anyone. Uh, do you need something? Are you alright?" the, all-to-familiar, girl asked, her eyes burning into David.
"April, you really are too sweet sometimes. C'mon, let's get out of here," the blonde boy took her hand, trying to lead her away.
The girl, April, seemed not to notice the taller boy trying to pull her away, as she stared at David. David quickly looked away. "Oh, I'm so sorry. It's just that you are so familiar. I was just trying to think of who you might be. Don't you think that he looks familiar, Christopher?"
Christopher looked long and hard at David, "Hey, I know who he is now," Christopher said, watching April's face brighten. He, then, slung his arm over her shoulders trying again to pull her away. "he's a nobody. You see them everywhere."
She, heavily, removed Christopher's arm from her shoulders. "Do you need any money? How much do you need?" she asked a somewhat bewildered David. She started rummaging through a purse that she was carrying, looking for the unnamed amount. She pulled out some bills and handed them to David.
David held up his hands, not wanting her money. "I, uh, just need to use the phone." He looked down to see that she had stuffed the bills into his pocket, anyway. Christopher just shook his head in disbelief.
April, once again, started frantically rummaging through her purse, pulling out this and that before finally finding the object of her search. A small, red cell phone.
"Here, you can use my phone," she shoved the phone into David's hand, and showed him how to use the tiny machine.
David searched his memory for the right telephone number. It took several minutes, and an old phone book, to finally recall the number.
He dialed the number, then hesitated a little before finally pushing the 'send' button. The phone began to ring. Once, twice.
A/N: I know that my chapters aren't long because when I first wrote this fanfic, there were no chapters. Btw, in any of the books (preferably the "narrated by David books") did it ever happen to mention the last name of David's mom's boyfriend? If it did (which I'm pretty sure that it didn't) could someone tell me, because I need it for the next chapter. Thankies ^_^
