I take a deep breathe in and exhale out. Looking around the airport, I'm finally back to the place where I lost everything; my parents, my home, my relatives, my life, but I don't give a damn about my relatives, in fact I'm happy to have all my ties cut from them. Never did I think after my parent's accident they'll turn their backs on me.

Coming back to this place brings back all my memories of that miserable day when just after I turned 16, on the way back home from our mini-vacation, my parents and I were involved in an accident caused by a drunk driver. Even though I barely made it out alive but my parents couldn't.

My mom and dad were a perfect couple and the best parents. Being their only daughter, they showered me with lots of love but made sure that they never spoiled me. My life was going good until the accident. I was in a shock for days and couldn't believe that I became an orphan.

None of my relatives wanted to take my custody. They were just present at the funeral with their fake tears for the money. I loathed my relatives. But unfortunately being a minor I had to stay with my father's elder brother whose only motive behind taking my custody was to get the money and property that my parents had left for me. He and his wife abused me, both verbally and physically. Even their kids, my cousin sister and brother, were horrible to me. 

I couldn't take the abuse anymore. Fearing for my life and my sanity, I decided to run away from that place. There were days when I had to steal, there were days when I had to sleep in old abandoned places. I stopped going to school and tried to get any job which would help me survive but it was like the whole world was against me. Everything was miserable until I was caught stealing one day by an old lady. I thought that that was it for me and that she'll turn me up to some authorities and they'll send me back to my uncle or to some foster home. But she didn't do so and instead she took me with her. 

Isabella was an angel in my life. She happened to run a school cum shelter for many unfortunate girls. I completed my remaining education there. There were lots of ugly memories and I wanted to escape them all, that is why with whatever I had, I went to Vancouver where I worked different jobs and completed my studies.

Now I'm finally back here. I'm here now because I'm selected as the assistant creative manager at Blue Island Records in Los Angeles. Blue Island Records is the most famous recording label in the US. An opportunity this big has brought me back here and now I think it is time for me to erase all the bad memories and build my life back.
