I feel really bad about this chapter... I feel like I;ve turned Isa into a bad guy ;; But I love Isa, so I'm not trying to. He hasn't done anything wrong, either! He just ended up the scapegoat of this chapter... Sorry Isa. *Huggles Isa*
Refugee
There were times when Lea envied Isa. There were times when he felt wrath toward him. Sure, he felt awful later -Isa was his best (and only) friend -but whenever he saw the boy eating with his mother, his stomach growled with indignation.
It's not his fault, Lea convinced himself. He doesn't know. But how wouldn't he know? How do you overlook the fact that your best friend lives on the streets? That a "good meal" for him is something just thrown out behind a fastfood restaurant?
Isa knew he was alone out here. So why didn't he do anything?
All this angst is bringing me down... Luckily I have a happy chapter next!
Sorry again, Isa. *Gives Isa a cookie*
...
*Lea steals cookie*
