1 Life is a living hell

Tom was walking away from his house because he was running away from home. The reason is because to him his life was a living hell seans his mother died from a car accident and his father became a drunk from it. Tom could not take it anymore.

Tom: Man way does my life have to be a living hell.

Tom thought as he was walking to the only place that he knew that he would be welcomed with open arms. When Tom got there he looked over at the cashier that was setting on her chair that was behide the counter.

Cashier: Hay Tom, run away again.

Tom: Yay Liz, but this time it is for good.

As he told Liz this her face went from all happy to a sad look because this was Tom's tenth time running away from home this month.

Liz: Come on Tom you know that you do not mean it, you just want to clear your head like you usually do.

Tom: Like usual, you know me best. So have anything new.

Liz: Yay the new book for DanMachi came out and I reserved one for you.

As they were talking someone walked in looking scared out of their mind.

Thief: G-give me all of your money.

As he said this he pulled a gun out of his pocket and pointed it at Tom and Liz. When Liz saw this she screamed and ducked beside the counter and the thief jumped from this and pulled the trigger.

Just before he did this Tom jumped in the way and the bullet hit Tom in the left lung and he fell to the floor. When the thief saw this he ran scared out of his mind, as he was running away Tom's dad was walking in to look for his son because he knew this is where Tom likes to come to when he runs away from home and looked on the ground and saw his son on the ground bleeding out and he ran to him.

Dad: N-no no please no don't let this happen please.

As Tom's dad was pleading and crying, Tom looked up to him and saw his father crying. At first Tom did not understand until he heard what his father said.

Dad: please no I lost my wife, I do not what to lose my son as well. I know I have not been the ideal father after my wife died but please let my son live so I can tell him I'm sorry for how I've acted and treated him.

When Tom heard this he turned to his father and told him.

Tom: I forgive you.

After Tom said this he turned to Liz and told her.

Tom: Liz I have never told you this but I fall in love with you the first time that I saw you.

After Tom said this he breathed his last breath.
