One Touch

Number?

I walked down a cold sidewalk I was currently in Sweden it was snowing heavily. Even though it was snowing, there was still "thugs" around almost each alley.

One way to get to the store is to go down the alley. My mom and I  are not very rich so I have to walk down to the store almost everyday.

I saw two thugs staring at me like perverts. I just stared at the ground praying to god that they would let me by.

Of course jinxing myself they said something.

"Hey pretty lady got anything for me" He said putting my head up to make me look in his eyes then he winked.

"Do you think we should take her to our house?" The other thug said looking at his friend laughing.

"Why no-" he wasn't able to finish his sentence.

"Let the girl go or I'm going to call the cops." A man said at the end of the alley.

The men ran because they were too scared.

The man walked closer to me he was a big younger than I expected but his voice was pretty deep.

"Are you ok." He says staring at me without looking away.

His eyes were so beautiful I was just staring at him I didn't say anything.

Then I finally responded.

"Um.... yes. T-thank you." I say stuttering.

He smiled, "That's good, be safe around these alleys they are a lot of thugs and dangerous people out here."

"I will... thanks again for saving my ass back there."

He left and waved. I didn't want to go in the store I don't know why but I just felt a little scared that I those thugs would come back.

I tried to be as quick as possible luckily it was midnight so it wasn't as many people there.

As soon as I came back home I told my mom everything.

"I will not let you go out there at night anymore, you will need to go in the mornings." Mom says half sleep

I tried to go to sleep, but I couldn't I keep thinking about that man that saved me.

I had to force my eyes closed, but I had to write a story on Wattpad because why not.

The next day was hell

My mom woke me up at 5 to go ready for church.

"I don't take that long to take a shower, church starts at 10." I say annoyingly walking to the bathroom to take a steamy shower.

"I know but we haven't been to church in a long time." She yells loud enough so I can hear her.

In my mind I was like What. The. Fuck. "We haven't been to church in a long time" we just went yesterday.

After we went to church we were exhausted, so we just went home and went to sleep.

Mostly the reason why we go to the store almost everyday is because my mom is sick so she can't go to the store.

Our dad left us when I was 4 so I have to do all the work in the house.

"Honey could you fix me some soup I'm hungry"mom says trying to yell but her voice cracked a little.

"Mom you don't have to keep yelling I was about to fix you something anyway."

After I got done fixing her soup I brought it over to her.

She was dead asleep. I laughed a little but then I looked at her.

"She doesn't deserve this" I repeat over and over in my head. I try hard not to cry, I don't really remember my dad but I do wanna see him.

I place the bowl in the fridge so it won't get spoiled or nothing. I hate when both of us eat leftovers because when I mean leftovers, I mean food from about last week.

But I am grateful because my school let me take a month off to take care of my mom.

A Few Days Later

I was walking on the sidewalk once again but this time I just wanted to get some air.

I didn't really wear a lot of clothes so I was shivering down the side walk. I wasn't in a very good mood, because my mom hasn't got any better.

I looked down at the snow and kicked it in front of me.

"Hey, that hit me!"

It was the same guy before a few days ago. I looked at him.

"I'm so sorry." I say walking over to him.

He looked right at me and smiled. "It's ok"

"If been through wor- barrel!" He says pointing at the store.

I turned around and see a barrel sitting in front of it.

I laughed and turned around to look at him once more.

"You don't seem Sweden?" He begins to walk with me.

"That's because I'm not I just moved here because here they have the best doctors for my mom." I say staring at the ground resisting a tear to fall down my face.

"Do you want me walk you there?" He stopped and looked at me.

"Sure." I say having a little grin on my face.

I finally found my mom's house I turn to the guy. "I never got your name."

"My apologies my name is Liam." He says shaking my hand.

I laughed a little "My name is Jade."

Thanks for walking me home.

He gives me his phone. I looked at him in a confused way.

"Number?" He says with a half grin. I put my number in his phone.

He hugs me then waved and ran off. I laughed because he was acting silly and slipped.
