Chapter One:
Jimmy sat on the side of the road. What was he going to do? He had no where to go. He had just gotten kicked out of his apartment for not paying rent. He didn't have a phone to call anyone and ask for help and even if he did no one would let him in. His parents were away in Atlantic City, and Kim was dating this guy and it was getting pretty serious and living with her would be just awkward. He could be homeless for who knows how long.
Jimmy stood up, he decided to walk down the street and drown his sorrows in a couple beers. As he entered the bar, he sat down in a stool at the counter. The woman behind the bar looked about 50 and was currently fetching drinks for the four giggling girls at the other end of the bar. The woman walked over to Jimmy,
"What'll it be?" she asked.
"A beer thanks" Replied Jimmy.
As she fetched the beer she had a worried expression on her face.
"Whats the matter? You look pretty down."
"I just got kicked out of my apartment and I have absolutely no where to go."
"Oh I know how that feels." She said, "My names Rose" she stuck out her hand.
"Jimmy" he shook it. Rose placed his beer down on the counter.
Hours later, Jimmy was drunk. He thought that since nothing could go any worse for him, that it didn't matter if he was sober or not. Rose looked over at him. Poor guy. His head was on the counter resting on his arm and it looked as if he was either going to fall asleep, or pass out.
Rose was cleaning the counters when she heard the door creak open and her eldest son stepped into the bar. He walked over to her and gave her a hug. "Hey Ma. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine Maurice, its you I'm worried about." She went in the back and brought out a coca cola and placed it in front of him.
"Whats this?" he asked.
"No beer for you tonight, I know you are working tomorrow." She smiled at his obvious disappointment.
Bosco sat down on the bar stool beside the very drunk Jimmy, and was yet to recognise him.
"Whos this guy?" Bosco pointed at Jimmy.
"Oh hes very nice, just got kicked out of his apartment and he has no where to go. I suppose I'll have to kick him out soon." Rose sighed.
Bosco looked more closely at the man in the heap beside him. He finally recognised him.
"Doherty?" Rose looked over at her son.
"Do you know him honey?" Bosco nodded.
"I guess I should get going." Bosco didn't take his eyes off of Jimmy as he spoke.
"Alright honey I'll see you soon." Rose gave him a kiss on the cheak.
"He has no where to go?" he asked. Rose shook her head.
"I guess I'll take him then. Ever since you gave me back my old bed I have one extra so he can stay with me." Bosco pulled Jimmy's arm over his shoulder and practically dragged him out to his car.
When they reached Bosco's apartment, Bosco carried Jimmy upstairs and put him in the extra bed, in the room beside his. He tucked him in then went to bed himself.

The Next Morning.
Jimmy Groaned. His head ached and hefelt as if he'd been hit by a truck. He sat up in the bed, then he realised that it wasn't his bed. It wasn't his house. Then the memory of the eviction became clear in his mind. Damn it. Where was he? He looked at the clock, it was 2 o'clock, he had to work in a couple hours. Jimmy walked over to the door of the room and looked out. There was no one in the hallway. The house looked reasonably messy. He walked into the hall,
"Welcome to the world of the sober, Mr. Doherty." Said a voice from behind him. Jimmy whipped around and was incredibly surprised to see Bosco.
"Boscorelli? What are you doing here?"
"I live here." Bosco said, obviously.
"Then what am I doing here?" Jimmy was very confused.
"My mom was the bartender at the bar you went to last night. I came before closing and saw you passed out at the counter. My mom said that you had no place to go." Bosco explained, while leading the way to the kitchen.
"Why did you let me stay here?" Jimmy and Bosco didn't ever get along and Doherty was wondering why Bosco would let him in his house.
"Well I wasn't exactly going to let you spend a night on the street." Bosco said, Placing two bowls on the table along with some milk and fruit loops.
"Sit down, Man its not like I'm going to poison you." Bosco paused for a moment and looked as if he was considering it.
Jimmy sat in a seat at the table and Boscorelli handed him a bowl of fruit loops.
"So why'd you get kicked out of your apartment?"
"I didn't pay the rent." Jimmy explained, he looked over to the door and noticed the small back pack full of clothes that he had brought with him. When he finished the cereal he got up and put the bowl in the sink.
"Well I should probibly go and book a hotel till I find a place." Jimmy sighed, "Thanks Bosco, for not leaving me for the streets." Bosco nodded.
"You know man, if you don't have a place, you can stay here until you find one." Bosco offered.
"Really?" Jimmy looked at him with the upmost surprise on his face.
"Yeah sure, I got a spare room." Bos said as he put his bowl into the sink aswell.
"Wow man, that'd be great. But I don't want to push you into anything."
"No I'm serious its okay, if you have no where else to go then by all means, stay here." Jimmy had never expected Bosco to be that generous. Maybe he was a nice guy after all.
"Okay, thanks that's awesome of you Bosco. I just have one question."
"Yeah sure, what is it?" Bosco asked.
"Where are we?"
