Creative Writing: The Homeless
“ Y/N wait!” My feet hit the cold tile and I frantically grabbed my coat off the floor.

“No Dan! I”m Sick of all your lies, “Going out to get groceries” “Hanging out with Phil” I’m not just going to stay around and being treated this way!” I grab my phone and throw some mix matched shoes on, going so fast that I don’t care what I look like just wanting to get out of there. I grab the door handle and swing it open.

“Wait...I...I” I sigh and lean against the door frame every ounce of me wants to turn around and forgive him. But then out of no where all the frustration and anger welled up in my body, I turned around and screamed, “Go cry to that bimbo you’ve been sleeping with!” Then turned around and sped walking down

I flipped it over and saw my boyfriend Dan had texted.

“Hey babe so the people that live on the top floor of our apartment decided it would be a great idea to leave the water on so the entire place was flooded and they have to do a lot of construction. Which means Phil and I are homeless for the next year. Phil’s going up and living with Cynthia (His girlfriend). But I have no where to go. Could I stay with you?”

“Of Course babe! It’ll be so fun having you here for a whole year.” I live in Brighton along with my best friend Zoe and her boyfriend Alfie. We grew up here together and I know she will always be there for me. Dan lives in London with his best friend Phil. Which is fine, but I miss Dan. We live a whole 2 and a half hours away so we rarely see each other. I’m not complaining I’m just saying it has had a little strain on our sex life.

I’m not much of a cook which is why he was probably laughing so hard as he dropped his luggage into the entry way and entered the kitchen.

“what should I order us?” I looked at Dan with an irritated look tying not to smile. But when I saw his grin I couldn’t help it. I went in for another hug and whispered, “Pizza would be great.” He looked down at me with a smile and said, “I missed you.” and gave me a warm kiss.

It was amazing being with Dan. For a long while we spent the whole time together weather it would be grocery shopping or just sitting and watching Anime. It was perfect. But over the next few months Dan started to go out more and more. Which at first made sense to me, we already spent a lot of time together he might want to see Alfie or Phil, but he started to go out excessively and never spending time with me. He would be never let me use his phone, around my birthday when it started it was cute but after it became more sketchy.

Our relationship was growing further and further apart. He would come home at odd hours of the night or never come back until the next morning. In fact it became so bad that we rarely talked to each other

    I walk into the dull atmosphere classroom, pictures of present and past high school baseball players stare back at me. The marker board covered in scribbles of math and assignments that will soon be issued to us by the teacher. One look at the teacher and you can tell he wasn’t in the best of health. Starting with his overweight physic to his white, pasty skin, almost a bit discolored in some areas. It was soon discovered early in the year that he suffered from a heart deficiency. Yet, having constant road blocks enter his path, he continues to teach and peruse his passion. I rather much enjoyed that class, and there was one month left till until school was out. Students start to file into class; among them is a familiar but unacquainted face, Dan. Dan and I knew each other but neither of us had taken the time to traditionally acquaint ourselves and really talk. Dan had short golden blonde hair, pale white skin, which was making his acne more visible. He was tall and lanky with a friendly smile and attitude. That day he finally introduces himself and we begin to talk. My first impressions were that he was sweet yet a bit odd, referring to many people and myself as ‘love’. As well came off as ambitious and carefree, after having snuck out of class multiple times and just leaving for the day. As summer dawned closer and sophomore year was coming to an end, me and Dans friendship grew and we exchanged numbers. Summer began, weeks pass and we talk from time to time. Till one day while texting I ask if he had any big plans for the rest of summer. The reply I got was not what I expected. He told me that he was due to have brain surgery in a month or so. And as well, that that wasn’t the worst part, not only is his condition fatal if he doesn’t receive proper treatment, but that if the operation is successful that a side effect is that he will lose all memory of the last 4years of his life. At this point in the conversation my mind was racing trying…

    Homelessness is a subject that has many different views, and opinions. It is a subject that gets little attention and funding in order to broaden its truth and its needs to the public eye. Homelessness is a subject that is a convenient place to put unsolved unwanted social and political problems within our communities. Its depth in our society is not completely known and or understood; therefore its solution continues to be a mystery delayed. The stigmatisms are many and the sad but true community laws, rules, and quick fixes are anything but kind in the mind of a compassionate worker. The research of homelessness doesn 't even begin to reach into the subject in a fair and or complex way; however I will attempt to bring into the light what different truths, and community solutions have been given on the subject of homelessness.…

    Memoir: The Homeless

    The moment I looked out the window of the car and my eyes turned to the row of homeless people weaving its way through the traffic begging for money, I jumped out of my seat. It was my first visit to India after leaving the country for the United States. The homeless people's’ hands were making weird gestures and thumping the windows of the honking cars. I could not digest what I was seeing! While reaching out to an old woman to give her some money, I thought about what non homeless people could do to help those without a home and basic needs. Then, I asked myself a question. Why not give them something that will be with them forever and help them out of their poverty and teach them valuable skills? After all, a mountain of…
