Tiredness is what Edward felt, he was too tired to pick up garbage, he had nothing to do, Mai had not called him to do his routine work and money was running out, there was not enough food for the three of them.
He arrived at the place where they bought cardboard, paper and plastic bottles, his whole body ached, his arms and the soles of his feet from all the walking.
Good afternoon, sir, I've come to sell all this.
He pointed to three sacks, each carrying plastic bottles, many sheets of paper and cardboard, the man looked at him strangely, he was too young to pick up garbage.
Sure, boy, come with me to weigh all these sacks of recyclable garbage.
Edward had collected 1.5kg of plastic bottles, for a young man who had turned 14 years old, 1k.g of cardboard and the last 1k.g of sheets of paper receiving 60 dollars for all that.
Thank you very much sir, see you tomorrow''.
See you tomorrow Edward, go home safely and I'll see you tomorrow''.
Edward started to walk and said goodbye to the junkyard, he walked very slowly passing by a small store buying supplies to make dinner for the day.
''Everything has become so expensive, I don't think I have enough to buy some new clothes, the poor guy's life really sucks''.
He arrived home after walking for 45 minutes,he was tired,his feet hurt,but he had to make dinner for his sisters.They did not receive him,they were in their rooms Edward just sighed with impotence,washed his hands and started to cook.It is already 9 o'clock at night,he called his sisters to eat.Hopefully this time they will eat,not like the other time.
''Good evening girls, please eat.''
''Let's eat this again brother, you can't try harder to eat some meat''.
Haida became ungrateful she didn't like anything her brother made to eat,he meanwhile just got tired and went to his room.He was not in the mood to listen to his sisters complaining if there is not something else to eat.He was starting to get tired of his sisters those ungrateful fuckers who don't appreciate anything he is sacrificing for them,everything he is doing for them to have a good education to have good clothes to wear.
Haida and Aisha stood there with their plates on the table they had not eaten anything, sip after sip they ate their brother's food he was a very good cook although they never told him so, they hated him they thought that because of him their parents had abandoned him poor naive girls.
Edward changed and jumped out of his window and walked through his window, the night was very poorly lit where he lived it was a neighborhood not so good to tell the truth.he heard a girl screaming for help,she was starting to be raped he did not take it seriously.he had already got used to hearing that was his daily bread.in that neighborhood he could soon get out of there by renting an apartment.
He didn't let his sisters go out too late at night, he was terrified that something would happen to her, he arrived at a house where five guys were gathered playing poker while drinking a beer, he approached them.
''Wow wow but look who we have here the abandoned boy,what do you want Edward.''
He would take a sip of his beer and Edward would just open his hand waiting for them to hand him something.
''You're a son of a bitch, you really want me to pay you, you've got big testicles to come here and demand money from me.''
He would get up and pull out a gun and press it to Edward's skull, he was like nothing was happening.
''You owe me that fucking money Alex,if it wasn't for me you would be in the fucking electric chair right now,I saved your ass 4 fucking times from the cops catching you or shooting you.''
Alex threw a wad of cash at him and Edward caught it.
Do what you want take care of your sisters you unwanted child''.
Edward didn't care, he put the money in his pants and went on his way, he had arrived to the center of the city, he walked and met a boy.
Do you know where she is?
He asked the black-haired man and the boy just led him to a brothel, they entered through the back and came to a girl who was very well made up and was very well formed, blond color and the most beautiful lips they had ever seen, but Edward was not looking for any of that.
''Edward how nice to see you here,you look as shitty as ever.you need to dump everything inside you know I wouldn't mind spending tonight with you,I could fulfill all your fantasies,I could even jerk you off with my feet if you want.''
''For God's sake Wanda get a grip and I don't have any foot fetish I'm just looking for some employment and I'm not going to sleep with you.''
''You don't know how to appreciate a good woman Edward, maybe you're missing out.''
She just shrugged her shoulders and looked at the black-haired man in a naughty way, she was a sex lover and didn't miss any opportunity to insinuate to Edward the bad thing for her was that he wasn't interested in the slightest in such a woman.
''Hey Edward, are you interested in any particular girl or nothing?
''Actually I don't think you know her a lady named Mai helped me financially do you know her''
He would ask as he sat down on a piece of furniture that was next to Wanda she sat next to him as she leaned her head to his shoulder he didn't say anything to tell the truth he didn't mind her he saw her more as a big sister,not as a person to get even and dump all his fluids on her.
''If I know her she is a widow if I am not wrong I have heard rumors that she studied business administration and that her husband had a strange death as if he had been poisoned but they did not find anything''.
'' ''That's scary although she is very beautiful, you know Wanda, but at the same time it is very shady that they have not found the cause of death of her ex-husband'''
'' ''I know she has her life figured out and I'm selling my body to earn money to pay for my apartment'' '' '' ''At least you live in a nice place.
''At least you live in a nice apartment and you have something to eat.''
Edward would complain to Wanda for not appreciating what she has the negative side is that she is a prostitute.
''Calm down Edward and how are you doing with your siblings, they still hate that your parents abandoned you''.
''I really don't know, I'm tired of them being ungrateful whores.''
He would cover his eyes with his left hand while rubbing them, Wanda just caressed his head.
'''Wanda we need you, a gentleman needs your services right now'''.
An old man with little hair on his head was calling his star to work she just stood up and winked at Edward saying a few words to him
''Well it's my time to go to work, some women will come looking for your services Edward, take care''.
'''Thanks Wanda and take care of yourself too I guess.'''
He waited for about 30 minutes until the old man called him and took him to a luxurious room.
''This lady has paid a lot don't disappoint her you brat or you won't get out of this brothel alive.''
Those words made the red-haired man tremble a little but he pulled himself together instantly.
''As you order boss I won't let you down''.
''You better hope so, boy.''
He got out of there and he just sat on the bed waiting for the girl to show up he was a little nervous,he was relatively new to this job of prostitution there were people who would pay for a 15 year old boy.yes they were very sick ladies but Edward didn't really care.
"Hello boy ~ I hope you're ready.
She had a face of desperation for a boy ,he just started to undress little by little as she grabbed his wrists giving him little kisses on his neck,slowly moving down to his abdomen.
Edward had a fun night,he paid for his services for 3 hours if she was a sex maniac,he was too tired.It was already 5 o'clock at night he returned to his house accompanied by Wanda who offered to take him home.
Thank you for taking me home, I'm really tired.
''Don't worry, that's why we're friends, don't overexert yourself too much, you're going to hurt yourself today, relax and I'll pick you up tonight for a beer, do you agree?
''Sure, I'll see you later, thanks for everything Wanda.''
He entered his house and threw himself on his bed ready to sleep for a while, little by little he closed his eyes because of today's tiredness.
