1 The Beginning

Nothing ever came easy to me or my parents. I came from a poor family that had to do extreme labor to get food in our table for the day. My mom worked as a cleaning lady in a school, and my father worked in a restaurant as a waiter. My mom used to have lung cancer. Luckily she beat the cancer but it left us with a big medical bill that we just could not afford. The devastation my parents felt was to big because they knew that even if they died from old age, they would still not come close to paying it off. That's how my life was ever since I turned 17. From there on I said to myself, I will become rich one day and my family will never be worried if they will be able to eat today. I will pay for everything my parents needed and there would never be any worries.

It was finally my 18th birthday and my dad had said that he had a surprise for me. In all my birthdays we where never able to afford anything fancy. Maybe just a slice of cake for me and that would be it. I was very excited. I waited at my house once I got out of school, waiting for my parents to get out of work, and to get my surprise. An hour later of waiting and I hear a knock on my door. Not thinking about who it could be I open the door to find a police officer at my doorstep with a grim face. That's the day my whole world fell apart. On the way to get me a present for the first time, my dad and mom where in a hit and run accident. And they where declared dead in the spot.

Every time I close my eyes I dream about how the accident occurred. I dream about that police officer and his face. Till this day, this accident haunts me. My parents died in my 18th birthday.

I was alone.
