A Situation No One Should Be In

She felt her face getting hot as she weighed up her options. It was a situation no one should ever be put in. She looked for a way out, but she knew it was all over.

That’s when she heard the shouting from outside her window. She opened it and looked down to see a familiar face. It was the homeless man she had been incredibly rude to just days before.

Did He Do This?

She thought about why he was there. Did he do this in an attempt to get revenge on her for treating him badly? What was his next move?

She expected the homeless man to gloat and laugh at her in her dire situation. But instead of anger, she saw sympathy in his eyes. Then he said the unexpected.

Help

“Please, help me!” Delores begged the man. It was a gamble, but she didn’t see any other way out of this mess. Maybe he wasn’t her attacker but rather an angel?

“Let me help you!” The homeless man shouted from below. Was he really offering help in her time of need? She wouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

Trusting Him With Everything

Delores didn’t know what to think. She’d have to let the man that she had scorned just a day ago save her life. She’d literally had her life and the lives of her daughters in his hands.

Could she trust him to make the right decision? At the end of it all, she didn’t have a choice either way.

A Grin

As everything around her started collapsing, she looked down at the man looking up at her and did the unthinkable. She looked into her one-year-old baby’s eyes and said, “I’m sorry, sweetie.”

She mustered up all of her courage and did something no mother would ever consider doing. She dropped her baby out of the window to the man grinning underneath.

Delores Brown

Delores Brown always had big dreams growing up. She wanted nothing more than to be a good mother one day. But it was no coincidence that she felt that way.

Even though her parents looked after her financially growing up, she felt emotionally starved. They had a nanny look after her more than they did themselves.

Studied Hard

Delores studied hard and got the best education available, all on her father’s dime. He had always spoiled his only daughter and could certainly afford to.

But Delores didn’t care that much about the money. She knew she was the heiress to a fortune, but she wanted to live her own life. That’s when she decided to forge her own path.

Adult Life

After getting her degree in social sciences, she managed to find a good job in the area and move out of her father’s big house. She could finally pursue her calling.

But Delores was impatient and couldn’t count on falling in love before having kids. She took a much more direct route.

Getting Pregnant

Delores decided to do something a bit drastic because of her impatience. She decided to go for in vitro fertilization. This meant she didn’t need a man to have a child.

It worked surprisingly well, and a few months later, she found out that she was pregnant. This was her dream come true. But it wouldn’t end there.

Five Years Later

Canva

Fast forward five years later, and Delores had recently had another baby. The one-year-old was the product of her second session of in vitro fertilization.

She couldn’t be happier with her two daughters, but things would quickly change unexpectedly. She got the worst phone call of her life that no one ever wanted to hear.

A Call From Her Mom

Canva

It was a call from her mother. She was about to break the news that something terrible had happened. Her father had passed away.

Delores couldn’t believe that the man that had supported her in her adolescent life was now gone. But there was more; she had to settle the estate.

A Windfall

Amongst all the grief, her father’s will was settled by a lawyer who told Delores that she had been left a small fortune.

She had never been after money, yet now she had an enormous amount of money in her account. They told her the money would be frozen for the moment, and she couldn’t spend any until the rest of the estate was settled.

Seeing Her Mother

Delores went to see her mother, who was beside herself with grief. Delores took a cab while a babysitter looked after her kids.

She comforted her mother and made sure she knew she could always count on her for anything. But just as she was about to call a cab back into the city, her mother piped up.

Take His Car

“Don’t be silly,” Her mother said. “Take his car for now; you could use a set of wheels anyway.” As much as Delores wanted to turn down the offer, her mother was right.

She was between vehicles after getting into a traffic accident a few months prior. She decided to take the expensive sports car, even though she felt a little uncomfortable in it.

Driving Home

Canva

Delores took the keys and made her way home, but she had no idea what was waiting for her just a few blocks from her modest apartment. She would accidentally offend someone.

She got to a red traffic light just a few blocks from her home. While stopped there, she saw a homeless man sitting by the side of the road. He greeted her in a friendly manner.

Poor Choice Of Words

Canva

The man came up to the window and asked her if she had any spare change. Delores must have forgotten what she was driving when she used a poor choice of words.

“Sorry, but I don’t have any spare cash right now.” As soon as she said it, she immediately realized how it must have looked. The homeless man took a double take, looking at her expensive car.

Mumbling Something

Canva

The homeless man scoffed before mumbling, “I’m sure you could spare something with a car like that.” He left her alone and walked back to where he was sitting.

Delores felt awful, but it was true. Even though she had a lot of money in her account, it was all frozen for at least the next week. She wished the interaction had gone better, but she had no idea who she had just scorned.

Finally, Home

Canva

Delores had collected her children next door before taking them inside. They were just as sad as their mother that their grandpa had just died, but unlike them, Delores had to be strong.

She cooked them dinner and pondered the day’s events. She felt sorry for the homeless man; she knew she’d cook something for him as an apology. But she didn’t know she’d be the one begging him for help.

Waking In The Night

Canva

Delores put her kids to sleep and then went to bed herself, not knowing it would be the last time she’d ever sleep in that bed again. She woke up in the middle of the night feeling hot.

She looked around her, and all she could see were embers. What was going on? She heard her daughters crying, so she quickly ran into their room. Was this the end?

A Terrible Situation

Canva

She felt her face getting hot as she weighed up her options. It was a situation no one should ever be put in. She looked for a way out, but she knew it was all over.

But just as Delores gave out hope, she heard the shouting from outside her window. She opened it and looked down to see a familiar face. Was this all because of him?

Familiar Face

She was shocked that the homeless man from the previous day was there. Did he cause all of this in an attempt to get revenge on her for treating him badly? What was his next move?

She expected the homeless man to gloat and laugh at her in her dire situation. But instead of anger, she saw sympathy in his eyes. Then he said the unexpected.

Please, Help!

Canva

“Please, help me!” Delores begged the man. It was a gamble, but she didn’t see any other way out of this mess. Maybe he wasn’t her attacker but rather an angel?

She knew it was an ironic twist of fate, asking the man for help after she didn’t give him any the previous day. But she didn’t see any other choice.

Helping Her

Canva

“Let me help you!” The homeless man shouted from below. Was he really offering help in her time of need? She wouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

She looked back at her scared children and knew that no matter what, she had to save them. They were her life, and without them, she was nothing. She had to put them first.

Having To Trust Him

Canva

Delores didn’t know what to think. She’d have to let the man that she had scorned a day ago save her life. She’d literally have her life and the lives of her daughters in his hands.

Could she trust him to make the right decision? At the end of it all, she didn’t have a choice either way.

A Reassuring Smile

Canva

As everything around her started collapsing, she looked down at the man looking up at her and did the unthinkable. She looked into her one-year-old baby’s eyes and said, “I’m sorry, sweetie.”

She mustered up all of her courage and did something no mother would ever consider doing. The man gave a reassuring smile as she dropped her baby out of the window.

A Catch!

Canva

Her heart stopped beating as she relinquished her grip on her baby. The child cried as she fell from the two-story window and plummeted below. There was no going back.

But the homeless man stayed true to his word, and with his hands outreached, he caught her. The crying child was now in his arms safely, but her five-year-old was next.

Flames Getting Closer

Canva

The flames were getting closer, and there was no escape. Delores quickly dropped her five year old too. But again, the man caught her effortlessly. He put her down and made her hold the baby.

But this was the most difficult part. Delores herself had to get down somehow. But the man would say something that changed everything.

Taking The Plunge

Canva

“You need to come out of this, okay, you hear?” He shouted to the frantic mom. “These children need their mother, so please, come down. I’ll catch you, I promise.” Delores saw the compassion in his eyes, and she let go of the windowsill.

Time felt as if it had stopped; his words had motivated her as she fell through the air. But then she came back to reality, and she was in his arms – he had caught her!

Inferno

Canva

Delores looked back at her house and saw it engulfed in flames. It was a raging inferno now, and she and her kids would have been trapped inside if not for the selfless man.

She called him an angel as tears streamed down her eyes. She hugged her kids and held them close. After another five minutes, firefighters came to put out the blaze.

Twist Of Fate

Canva

The irony wasn’t lost on Delores. In a twist of fate, she was now homeless, just like the man standing next to her. She thanked him again and told him she’d try to return the favor somehow.

The man smiled and shook her hand before saying, “Paul, you can call me Paul.” She smiled back. They would both get through the ordeal together and become lifelong friends.
