OCEAN EYES

Chapter Four

" What are you doing here?"

I asked in a weak voice, mainly because i was shocked, i felt my breath being caught in my throat and it was hard to breath

Why was i panicking again?

" Shouldn't i be the one who should ask you this?" he replied, in a quite voice, calm and a respectful tone

This guy here, William was spending the nights here, god knows since when and if i didn't sneak in here i wouldn't have known that, and yet he still acted calmly and spoke in a gentle tone

" i saw someone sneaking here the other day and i wanted to know who he was, please tell me that it's not you" i begged him, i really wished that he's not the one who's staying here, this place was abandoned, scary, cold and had no water, and living here wasn't good, it was terrible and i didn't even know how to feel about it

" what are you going to do if it was me huh? Nothing.. So please leave and act like you didn't see anything" he replied, his tone becoming harsher and scarier, which surprised me a lot, i didn't know him but i felt like that wasn't his usual self and he's getting angry

" i will help you.. Do you expect me to leave you living here, in this cold abandoned place?" i offered him but he remained silent for few seconds, which meant he didn't like it, i looked around once again, he had no mattress to sleep on, no heater and it was super cold, since my city was cold and he had no pillow

" no, thank you, now would you leave?" he demanded again and honestly i didn't know what to do, he was asking me to leave and i couldn't let him stay the night in a situation like this.

I had an idea

" Okey, would you show me another way? I'm too short to climb on the window again" i said, although i didn't see his expression, i knew that he was frowning, this was probably one of the most annoying situations he'd ever been involved in his entire life

He walked me to a door, or whatever was that entrance, apparently he used that hole or whatever as an entrance, it was good that he showed me that door, I'd have to use it again, i turned my heels to leave when i heard him saying something that broke my heart, something made me stick to my decision of helping him and not letting him suffer there, he might get killed by some drunken guy

" Would you please not tell anyone about this? I'd like to have a peaceful year" he said in a quite tone, i nodded in agreement and left

When i reached home, i felt guilty, sad and upset about what i just saw, i had a bed to sleep on, while he didn't even have a mattress or a pillow, i had a warm blanket while all he had was a candle that did nothing but bother him with it light, i had a home and he was using an abandoned depository as a home

I sat on our porch, my eyes started watering and i couldn't stop myself from crying, i wondered why such an innocent soul had to go through this? How could someone like him not to own a home.
I looked around me, i had everything and he had nothing and i couldn't stand there and do nothing

I went inside the house quietly, trying my best not wake my mom up, and for the first time in years, i thanked the god for having my parents room upstairs, i went directly to the storage room, mom kept all of the extra stuff there, blankets, pillows, towels and other different things, i grabbed a four pillows, a blanket, a flashlight and i looked for a rechargeable heater that my dad once bought so we can take it whenever we went to camp

I tried to put them in an empty Garbage bag so i could hold them all together, for a moment i felt like some sort of a spy or a thief, but i really wanted to help William, he was  smart and didn't cause troubles, i  tried to drag the bag out of the house, and when i did i locked the door behind me and started walking to the depository, i knew he was upset that i saw him, i knew very well that he probably won't accept this but at least I'll know, i made my move and him refusing my help is up to him, and i could sleep well at night
