"I'm proud of both of you."

My mom gave birth to twins twenty years ago. But only one survived. It was me.
After ten years the adopted a girl. She lost her parents. The first thing that they told her was that they never gonna leave her.
Three month ago they died by a car accident. I promised them that I will look after her.

I was not the most responsible person. I was glad when I make me food in the microwave without burning the kitchen. But that changed since I had take care of Lenia.
The first thing I've done was sell our house with all the memories we had in there. We moved into a flat with !y best friend Jack. Jack loves kids so he wanted to live with us.
Lenia is now ten years old and visits a primary school. I and Jack work in a supermarket to earn money.

It is early in the morning and Jack is already at work. He starts always earlier than me. So I can spend my morning with my little sister and I also can bring her to school.

I'm making breakfast for the two of us. Two month ago I didn't know how to make her breakfast. But Jack thought me how to cook. It took me a while but now I can it.
"Brook?" I hear a sleepy voice from behind. "Hey, Len are you finally awake?" "I want to go to bed again.' " You can't sweetheart you have to go to school." I laugh. "But why?" "Come on sweetie. Go in the bathroom and make you ready." "Okay...Brooky" she go into the bathroom.
I prepare the breakfast and wait for her.
After ten minutes she comes back and we eat together.

Then I bring her to school and I go to work.
This day was harder than I thought. Our boss was very pissed and mad.
But now I'm finally out of this hell. Jack and Lenia are already at home.

"Brook!" Lenia storms out of the kitchen when I come trough the door. "Hey, sweetie." "Do you know what?" she asks me exciting. "No, tell me!" "I've got a the mark A in my last math test!" "Len I'm so proud of you!" I said and pull her into a hug.
Lenia has always her problems with math. I and Jack are trying to help her but we are also not so good in it.
"Hey mate." Jack join us. "Hey Jackyboy." "I'm so proud of both of you." he said and pull us into a hug. "Aww thank you babe." I press a short kiss on his cheek

People always told me that I can't raise a child like her. It is true. But I have a person by my side who helps me with everything. I'm so proud to have a friend like him. Thank you Jack.
