Chapter 1.

A very morning, birds chirping, sounds of kids playing around. Alina opened her sleepy eyes due to the noisy outside and when she heard someone opened her door while talking.

" wake up sweetie it's eleven thirty now i wonder what were you doing last night" Isabella, Alina's mom said while taking the dirty clothes that are scattered on the floor.

Alina pulled up her blunket and covered her face with the palm of her hand trying to nodd off and suddenly she jumped out of bed and remembered something " oh my goodness" she said while changing her clothes " today is the day and I've been sleeping like 10 hours i think.... uuuugh... what am i?...stupid" she took her tooth brush and head out her room while brushing her teeth

" Ooh come on lina.... we've talked about this and you've been doing the same thing brushing your teeth any palce you like" her aunt, zoe smacked her butt.

"Oww...alright I'm sorry, it's the last time....geez" her aunt gave her a disappointed look while giving her water to wash up her face.

After she finished, she gave back her aunt the large plastic cup that had some water remaining and her tooth brush " morning auntie... hehehe" she said after keeping her distance from getting another bitting from her loving aunt. Her aunt tried to reach for her sendles when she ran off " I'll get you next time you idiot" Alina run off until she lost the site of her aunt.

She went to the back yard of their house when she found her whole family there chatting , eating breakfast, kids running around playfully. Seeing this she smiled as she moved close to her beloved brother.

They live as an extended family with love, peace and care. Alina was the only daughter to her mother, her father died along time when she was three years old, she doesn't remember him, but she always sees her dad's pictures in her mother's room hanging around everywhere where they are full smile in each picture. Her mother,had a young sister who died while giving birth to her child, Miles.

She gave birth while she was fifteen years old and died during giving birth to Miles. During that time Isabella was eighteen years old. They lived in a small house, Isabella (Alina's mother),Mia (young sister of Isabella) and Liam, he is the oldest and the only brother they have and he was 23 years old. Mia, Miles' mother died because they had no money to afford taking her to the hospital and she gave birth at home, they had no parents or anyone to support them, and their brother Liam had a part time job, and he got fired.

When her young sister died she took care of Miles until now and Alina considers him as his one and only brother though she had many cousins and other male relatives at that time.

" Hello there smart-ass" Alina said while laughing, her brother watched her and she throw a piece of bread at her.

" Don't tell me you've been sleeping and your waking up this time" Miles gave her a questioned look. " And mom she is the one who woke you up,you didn't wake up on your own" she looked at her young sisters messy hair while holding his waist.

" Oh come on... I was tired yesterday after all the work that i did and...." She paused watching his brother still giving that question look " whatever" she rolled her eyes and she was about to leave "can you lend me some money" she smiled while holding Miles hand tight.

" Nope" Miles answered hurry while taking his bag and he was about to leave " come on broo.... I just wanted to take sophy out today you know" she said pleading still holding Miles arm.

Her brother paused and turned his face to look at her " sophy?" he asked " yep.... and i promised her since last week, so please just help me, ive got nothing in my...." before she finished explaining her self her brother gave her like 50 bucks

Alina was left in shock, she has never received this much money for a simple reason like that, she was surprised that couldn't come up with any word to say at that time "...." She was stunned that she just blink to the money that she was holding.
