Chapter 8

On his insistence they returned to the bridge so he could relive the moment he nearly jumped.

Summer was curious, “Why did you want to kill yourself, was it really that bad?”

“It was coming for years since I was a kid I wanted to be off the planet, since my dad died everything was black and my home life was shit.”

“What about now?”

“Maybe not so much it depends on what happens when I get home.”

“Did you ever have the feeling that you didn’t fit in?”

“Every minute of the day since my dad died and, I hated school.”

“Me too all my life, like I never belonged here, an intruder.”

Guilt swept over Adam at the thought of dumping Summer who, in all probability would head straight back out on the streets getting into God knows what. Knowing Roy would never agree to let her stay even if his mother felt sorry for her pushed him to consider the possibility of not staying so they could be together. But where would they go? Neither had any money and apart from couch surfing with dubious characters prospects looked pretty dim for the future.

The poor man had become a nuisance after his wife died always asking everyone for favours and taking up too much of people’s time. Had he been more popular and likable people may have been more cooperative and Adam’s biggest headache was the incessant talking- if he ever had the misfortune to run into him,

“Hello Mr. Langley how are you?” He replies being polite as possible.

“I’m fine, what a lovely young lady you have with you. What’s your name sweetheart?”

“I’m Summer, pleased to meet you.”

“What a fine young couple you make and I live here now,” He replied pointing to a house across the street, “It’s smaller and more compact as it’s only me.”

“Yeh I’m sorry that your wife died, must have been tough.” Adam replied trying his hand at the new sympathy he felt.
