When I was young me and my family liked to travel through countries . One day as we were traveling through Spain after an unusual rainy day for July , the car slipped fall of the cliff and straight to the ocean . My dad wasn't concentrating and neither were me and my mum . Perhaps if one of us had looked up in time we would survive, but unfortunately we didn't. The car hit a rock and it started to brake in half. I wasn't wearing the seatbelt so I could open the door and try to swim away , but everything was blurry and every moment of my life was floating in front of me .

Not far away a Spanish boy and his friends and their families were staying there for the summer. The boy heard and saw what happened . The other children rash to tell the parents meanwhile he ran straight towards the car and since he was a good swimmer he managed to go deep open the door and get me out of it . He was 14 turning 15 and I was just 7 , so it wasn't a straggle, but for my parents it was too late . When he took me out soon his dad and uncle helped him. I stayed there for a couple of days , but throughout those days I slipped in and out of consciousness . I never got their names , never understood much , expect of the fact that I was alone in this world from now on .

When the doctors said that I was getting better , the family called a judge and took my situation before the court. It was decided would live with my uncle and aunt . My uncle Joe was my dad's younger brother . Since then I never saw the nice family again, and never got the chance to say thank you to the nice boy .

~~~~~~~~~

From the age of 8 that I started living with my uncle , I would do the house chores while their five kids would do nothing . At the age of 12 I started working at their club , that was located at a shady neighborhood . When I turned 16 I became a stripper and waitress , that's where I met Alysaa , my first friend , who taught me so much and supported me as well.

I am 19 now , life is busy , life is hell at home , hell on stage , but there are times that I wouldn't exchange for the world , times when I laugh with the girls, when I manage to go on fun dates , and make out with shady looking boys that seem like they eat cigarettes for breakfast , lunch and dinner . Yet one night , my life changed , one man and his obsessions, a gentleman , a couple of lies , tears , kisses and fun wouldn't hurt anyone , right ?

Well they hurt me .
