Looking at the family photo by my window, I remember how it all began. My parents and I moved into this home when I was only seven, that is exactly ten years ago. My father was in debt to a bank and instead of paying his loans he ran away here with me and my mother. My elder sister went to study abroad and forgot about me and our family.
Almost a year later, my father also left us, he thought we no longer needed him, and we were all alone with my mother. She started working as a cashier, but she also attained money by stealing. Small thefts, and she hasn't been caught yet, but I don't know how long this will last. Unfortunately, the thefts are becoming more and more serious.
In the apartment next to us, I met a girl named Adira, and we quickly became friends. She helped me with my homework, we played together and often came over at my place. Her family was also experiencing some difficulties, but she chose not to talk about it. So years later, Adira and I are still friends as well as classmates, and when I think about it, she's really the only person who's always there for me.
