"Do you like my daughter?" said Dad.
"Uhh what?"
"Dad!"

Charles and I followed Dad but I was wondering how can dad remember everywhere he even just went there just once like a few years ago.
"Hey Helen, how can your dad remember where my house is, even if he just went to my house once," says Charles.
"I not sure, I'm just wondering how some adults can remember things so easily," I say wondering.
Our trip wasn't that easy. You know all those madams and sirs in the town, before. That's what gives us all the work. We are squishing around the place. So we have planned that we should make sure none of us get split up. And definitely make sure to be quick till dark, because we don't have a torch to walk around with.
"Here we are, Charles home," says dad. Finally we arrive to Charles house, it was quite a big clean house. And just thinking about Charles and his house, it makes me think that Charles family is pretty rich compared to mine.
"Thanks, Mr. Frank I wouldn't been back here without you. Oh and Helen thanks for everything too," says Charles.
"Your welcome, Charles and remember you helped me a lot too," I say. Unexpectedly a hand went on my shoulder, it was just dad.
"Now is our turn to go back to our home Helen," says Dad smiling.
"Ok, seeya Charles," I say, waving to him. And he wave back.
And from then on I didn't get to see mum again and Charles. Because his family moved to a better place. But I didn't care, Charles got something he needs for his life. And me I already got what I want, that I'm with my dad and that I am safe.
At least, I have a little to live for.
