As soon as I arrived at the station, I could already feel everyone's gazed locked on me. There were two options, either it was true or I was sort of paranoid from everyone looking at me when I was living in the streets. That was the better way to put it, to them I was homeless. Nothing more, and nothing less. But as soon as I scanned the area everyone seemed to be looking at their phones and doomscrolling perhaps. "Just your delusions," I muttered, "just your delusions." Before I walked about two miles to reach the train station, I had carefully tucked Iris's Vannel bag into my hoodie. But now that I think about it, I might look a little fat to everyone. That would also explain my delusions coming back, it was like my mind was trying to tell me that I look fat.
But honestly, I don't really give a f*ck because this money was far more important than people thinking I was fat. I've spent most of my life being judged, if I was able to take it then, then I should also be able to take it now. Especially since it wasn't even true, I was barley any meat and lots of bone. So, if any made fun of me because of that I wouldn't really care. "ALL ABOARD THE TRAIN ALL ABOARD!" Suddenly everyone next to me and all around me started shoving each other to get to the train. I had no other choice, so I had to do the same thing as them. Shove people out of their way, I almost made it to the train until someone right behind me shoved me so hard I fell to the ground and hit my head. The last thing I saw was him boarding the train and sticking his tongue out on me. Then I blacked out.

When I woke up, I was no longer in the train station but instead I was in a warm and soft bed. There was a teenage girl that looked to be around my age, twelve or thirteen unless she was one of those people who looked older than they actually were. My gaze dropped when I saw the girl look at me, her warm smile made me want to smile. But I just wasn't like that, this could be kidnapping for all I know, how could I trust these people who perhaps "rescued" me. I began having a lot of trust issues ever since my dad abounded my mom and started coming after our lives. A thought crossed my mind, 'OH MY GOD COULD SHE BE MY DAD'S PEOPLE OH MY GOD SHES GONNA KILL ME SHES GONNA KILL ME!' I thought in a skeptical manner.
I started checking around for Iris's Vannel bag in my sweater. Nothing. These people were thief's, weren't they? they didn't have to be my dad's people, but they sure were thief's what was I going to do now? That bag had everything I needed, from the bag itself to the money and Iris's other expensive belongings. "Where did my bag go?" I interrogated in a calm manner trying to keep everything cool just in case they made a run for it. The girl smiled and pointed to the desk next to me where I had failed to notice the Vannel bag. I slowly opened it, so I didn't seem rude to these strangers, everything was in there. They weren't thief's they were just my saviors, maybe even if they hadn't brung me into their house then someone else might have stolen the Vannel bag. "Thank you," I warmly said, but the girl seemed to not hear me while she was dusting the room I was in. 'Thank you,' I mused, 'really thank you.'

Fagget and Malon sped through the streets not looking back once, they weren't trying to get busted. Worst case scenario the lady would take both of them captive this time and not just Fagget. But best-case scenario was happening right now, the only thing they both weren't sure about though was if the lady might start tracking them down. Or if she would just give up on them and find herself a new victim. Which is what they hoped would happen, since they couldn't take any more drama especially when their dad still didn't have a job. Fagget sighed, "hey um Malon you were right I shouldn't have even gone to the a**hole of a witch." Malon patted his siter on the back gently, "a**holes will be a**holes and angels will be angels, it's not your fault it's not like you knew."
Malon shifted uncomfortably, "but were going to have to tell dad about the situation he has the right to know." He now sighed trying to force a smile, "he won't be taking this very well I'm sure and he might blame you so please don't start getting mouthy with him." Fagget rolled her eyes, "me mouthy? oh, please I'm so respectful the neighbors said they wished I was their daughter." Malon's face twisted in a playful way, "ooohhhhh your respectful well how about the time dad asked you if you were grateful for our house and you started screaming every possible insult toward this what was it you said?" "Oh yes quote on quote disgusting f*cking broke a*s building is worse than my worst enemy's personality and trust me dad their terrible." Fagget rolled her eyes and gave Malon a slight push, "oh shut up Malon it's not like your grateful for that dump!"
Malon smiled and patted Fagget on the back once more, "It's not the best I'm not going to lie to you." He sighed putting on his melancholic face, "it's hard these days Fagget I mean this dump as you just called it cost us a fortune." She rolled her eyes and curled up in a ball, "even this f*cking car is better than our house and that says something." "Fagget this is a luxury sports car of course it's better than out house it's worth more than both your kidneys combined!" She scoffed, "I hate being f*cking poor I wish we could be rich," she muttered. Then suddenly her gloomy face lit up, "MALON MALON I HAVE AN IDEA!" he stopped the car at that moment, and they almost crashed into a person. The guy they almost hit pulled out the middle finger and attempted to kick the luxury car. Malon hit him back, and the guy fell back unconscious.
"F*CK F*CK MALON OH MY GOD WHAT DID YOU DO!" but her brother just drove the other way and left the guy on the ground. If that guy remembered their faces they were as good as dead, "oh my god Malon that's a crime a literal CRIME!" Malon face twisted in an irritated manner, "I did what I had to do he was going to do something that we could never afford if the owner came back for their car." Fagget raised an eyebrow, "well I was going to tell you this but you almost k*lled that dude, but I was going to say if we could just take this car." "We could sell and then Welle get enough money to be in more comfortable position until dad gets a job." Malon's face turned blank as if he was tired of Fagget's ridiculous ideas when they were clearly in a rough situation. "B*tch if I wanted that then I would have let the guy hit the dang care but no I didn't so please stop with all these illegal ideas!"
Fagget turned around to check the area, there was nothing as she had suspected. But she wanted to make sure the guy that Malon had hit didn't have an army of any sort. "Listen Malon you got to accept it we need this money, were f*cking broke!" he rolled his eyes at that remark and just ignored her. From then the ride was quiet. When they reached the destination where the car was there was already a crowd gathered. Malon gulped and turned the other direction, "ooohhhh perfect Malon aight so perfect no more, eh?" Malon just kept going though, "I can't take it they would come after us I'm going to need to put it in a random place nearby." "So that it can create the feeling that he mistaked where he parked it, also we need to get as far away from them and the car as possible." "Were poor so of course we would be the first option of accusation now move with me quick," he whispered.
When they got out of the car they made a run for it, all the way behind thick bushes. And then they just left the car while they walked back to their house. "God d*mn its Malon, you lost us money I could've came up with a plan but of course no you never acknowledge my ideas." "No offense Fagget but dads already going to be upset about your near death he's not going to be happy when he finds out you store a luxury sports car." "He doesn't have to know," "OOOOhhhhhh so were liars now Fagget eh? I see how it is all you want it the money." She scoffed, "just like the d*mn witch just like the d*mn witch," she muttered under her breath. Malon heard her. "You know Fagget dad's going to be so happy when he finds out what you said today." "Oh? so, you have the audacity to tell him fine like a give a f*ck what he thinks."
Fagget scoffed, "he can't support our d*mn family he should be expecting insults." "You know he literally told me that he doesn't know if he can take his work anymore, I mean his work is less than the bare minimum." "He doesn't know his sh*t so he doesn't deserve anything more than sh*t." Malon grinded his teeth and then slapped Fagget, "MANNERS FIRST B*TCH I KNOW FOR A F*CKING FACT YOU COULD NEVER DO AS GOOD AS DAD!" Fagget touched her now bruised cheek, it felt like it was swelling so bad. And the one thing she wanted to do was to slap his back, but she couldn't bring herself to do that. After all he was her brother, in fact her brother worked harder than her father, that was mostly why she thought her dad was just a slack. She pulled back dramatically a whole minute after he slapped her, "Malon, I thought you were different." "Fagget don't make me mad you've already been terrible enough today don't make it worse."
Fagget stepped back away from Malon, "leave me alone I'd rather live on the streets then with both you and dad!" Malon rolled his eyes and tugged at Fagget's arms, "right now is not the time to joke we need to go right now!" Fagget stomped on the rock-hard ground, "no Malon this is life sometimes people separate and I think that I want to do that." "Fagget that is for marriages not f*cking family!" Fagget sighed, "marriage is family now please leave me alone." Malon sighed, "stay around this area I'll come back for you tomorrow when you feel better." "I'll tell dad that your over at your friend's house or something." Fagget smirked, "yeah right Malon yeah right," but he never heard her. "Bye Fagget bye." "Bye Malon maybe I'll see you tomorrow sooner than you think, maybe." Malon smiled and waved back at Fagget, he really thought that he would see Fagget the next day, maybe he would never see her again. Fagget wasn't exactly sure about this yet though. But she definitely didn't feel bad at all, this was perfect for her just what she needed after being in that broke a*s house her whole life. She wouldn't let Malon find her, not on her watch. Not on her watch.
