Give me some shelter

"Please? I just.... they aren't fond of me right now," Dani said to him as she finished up the last of her food. "Thank you... you know for bringing me the food. It's been a while since I had an actual meal. The scraps of food from the trash weren't cutting it for me anymore."

Dani heard him and she knew that once the volunteers went home for the night and they were left with the security guards, things tended to happen. After all, one girl here was pregnant and Dani knew how it happened because she caught the girl with a security guard that night. "I'm Danielle but everyone calls me Dani," Dani said softly. "Do you live around here?"

”I guess in a way I do too. I live everywhere I can find shelter,” Dani said softly. ”Came here from Massachusetts.”

”Um… just some not nice truckers until I found one who didn’t take advantage of me,” Dani muttered. ”But other than that the trip was okay.”

”Its okay. I’ve moved past it. It’s in the past and all I can do is move forward.” Dani said to him with a small smile. ”So how come you help out at a women’s shelter?”

”Thats something I want to do… go to college,” Dani said to him. ”But I didn’t even finish high school.”

”I mean not really. If it’s not something you want to do, you shouldn’t have to…” Dani said. ”I had to drop out because I missed too many days of school.”
