Taken In

Hey guys, finally my new story is out! I intended for this story to come out around Chpt. 10 of my story, Left 4 Each Other. I, however, felt the urgency to write this already. So, review and PM me. I'll accept both good and bad reviews and PM's. Well, onto the story!

Chpt.1: Everything Lost is Regained

Evan was just a normal 23 year old man that had everything he ever wanted, a perfect family, a good education, a great apartment, and a life of video gaming. However, Evan's life is about to take a turn for the worst. At the moment, Evan just found out that his bank account had been broken into and all his money was taken. The man had been saving the money for his apartment rent. Evan had to ask his friends and family for money. Later on in the month, Evan had started failing his college classes, and if not improved, would be kicked out. He desperately did all his work, sometimes staying up until 4 in the morning. Finally, Evan's life now finally went into a pit of depression, when he found out that his parents had died in a car accident. His siblings, who had been so close, had distanced themselves and didn't talk with each other. Evan went into a deep depression. He dropped out of college, never played video games anymore, lost the perfect family, and was going to get kicked out of his apartment in a few days. His life now was a complete wreck. Evan decided to go out to take his mind off of all the things that have happened in his life. The asian man walked in the dangerous part of Los Angeles, not really paying attention to his surroundings, when he bumped into a big, intimidating man. "What the fuck, what the hell do you want, you fucking asian?" the man yelled while Evan flinched from the rude remark. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Evan said while the other man scoffed sarcastically. " Sure you weren't, I bet you did it on purpose!" the man said, but Evan was really getting ticked off from the remarks he made. " God, are you stupid, I said it was an accident." Evan said. " Call me stupid again, I dare you." the man yelled. "What have I got to live for anymore." the asian man thought. " I said you're fucking stupid, are you that much of an idiot!" Evan shouted in anger as the other man instantly picked him up and threw him to the floor. The asian man had hit his forehead on a ledge and instantly went unconscious. The man that threw him saw that the man didn't move, and instantly went to check on him. He saw that blood had started oozing out of the asian man's forehead. "Oh God, help, someone call an ambulance." the man yelled as he tried to stop the blood that was pouring out of Evan's head. "Shit, I really fucked up." the man said as he heard sirens coming close. He had to leave and avoid getting arrested, so he left the wounded man on the sidewalk. The man fled the scene just as the ambulance arrived.

"Uh, where am I?" the man asked as he woke up from his comatose state. "You're in a hospital son, you hit your head on a ledge and opened your skull." a man in a white doctor's coat said. "Do you remember anything about the situation?" asked the doctor as Evan tried to remember, but failed. " I don't remember, in fact, I don't remember anything at all." Evan said as the doctor wrote things on a clipboard. "It seems that you have amnesia, and a severe case of it too." the doctor said as Evan put a sad look due to what happened to himself. "Evan, I'm sorry to say this, but you have a very small chance of regaining your memory." the doctor said as Evan found out he had a small chance of remembering his old life. "I'm also very sorry to say this, but since you aren't able to pay the hospital bill, you will have to leave when you are well enough." the doctor said in a apologetic tone. Evan felt devastated that he had to leave the instant he's better. "You'll recover in about another day or so, after all, you were here for three weeks, and nature took its toll." the doctor said. The injured man was surprised that he was out for three weeks. "Evan, I hope you are able to survive the outside world when you leave." the doctor said before leaving the room. Evan had trouble processing what he was told, and in the efforts to understand, got a migraine. Evan knew he would have to live on the streets of Los Angeles, a dangerous and careless city in itself. "How I wish I remembered my past life" Evan said.

Evan was finally released out of the hospital, fully clothed and healthy. "Evan, may God be with you at all times. Here take this." the doctor said as he handed the man a rosary. "Thank you doctor, for everything." the man said as he left the hospital premises.

Evan was now living in the slums of the city, with others who were in worse condition. He had a backpack full of food and water, so he shared with the other homeless people that were there too. Evan enjoyed the gratitude he got for generosity.

It had been almost two and a half weeks that Evan had been homeless. He started looking dirty and smelled. Evan still had hope in surviving however, and prayed every night that tomorrow would be a better day. Luckily for him, his prayer would be answered.

A man in a blue hoodie jacket was walking down the street, when he spotted a homeless asian man and looked at his face. The man recognized him from high school, and wondered what had happened to the man. "Hey, I know you, you're Evan Fong, I remember you from high school." the blue jacketed man said, but Evan had no clue who the unknown man was. "I'm sorry, but I won't remember you because I have amnesia." Evan said as the other man instantly felt bad for the man. He knew that without a house and no memory of anything, he would not survive in the city. "Well, let me introduce myself, my name is Jonathan, and I know this may sound weird, but do you want to stay at my place for now?" Jonathan asked, waiting for a response from the homeless man. He had quickly decided that he would help this guy even if he hadn't known him that well. He felt the need to do it. "Are you sure, I wouldn't want to be a bother." Evan said, unsure whether the man was lying or not. "You'd never bother me, I just kinda want to help you." Jonathan said, the other man felt that he could trust this man. "So, are you ready to go or not?" Jonathan asked as Evan realized he had to say goodbye to the others about what was going to happen. "I gotta go tell the others that I'm leaving." Evan said due to the fact that he had grown a friendship with the other homeless people. "Uh, hey guys, I don't know how to say this, but I'm leaving with someone who used to go to school with me." Evan said as one of the women that was there went to give him a hug. "Oh, Evan please be safe and have a nice life." the woman as another man went and hugged him. "Please Evan, don't do another life ruining mistake like we did, we all want you to live a happy life." the man said as Evan felt on the verge of tears from separating with what he called his new family. "Thank you all for taking me in, also, and when I get the chance, I'll bring more supplies for you all." Evan said as everyone gave one last group hug before Evan left to make a new life. "So, you all ready?" Jonathan asked as the other man wiped away the tears that he shed. "Yeah, I'm ready." Evan said as he left the place he had called home where he made memories of his new life.

Yay, chapter one is done. I finally made a chapter that is longer than 500 words, now that's an accomplishment. It took forever to write it though. I'm sorry if I made it a little sad and kinda confusing. Also, If you guys think that I'm gonna abandon Left 4 Each Other, don't worry, I'm not. I'm actually trying to make like a schedule of when I should write and update my stories. So, Plz review and PM me your guy's thoughts on the story, I'll accept good and bad reviews and PM's. Well, I'm gonna go and get bored due to the daylight savings time change. :(
