The mailman fiddled through his satchel looking for the correct post forwarded to the Andrews family. Pulling, out a parcel no bigger than a packet of 6 cans, it was wrapped in brown paper-like material. He's always curious as to what's in these parcels, especially if it's for a rich family like the Andrews. Whistling, he trots up the long drive way until he reaches the front of the mansion. 3-storeys high, pure white it looks so pristine, like it was finished being built five minutes ago, but knows for a fact it has been built for at least over ten years.

The Andrews family moved in when their family business first kicked off. In the city they're known as the richest in the 1000mile radius. Everyone knows who they are.

Nathaniel Andrews, husband/father of the family and his Wife Avery Andrews started building up their business seventeen years ago but not making much progress until six years later. In that next year they became millionaires and brought the house that now stands in front of the mailman.

When they started their business Mrs.Andrews became pregnant with their now seventeen year old daughter April. She's the city's sweetheart, too innocent and pure she rubs off on everyone. She's not dumb but actually one of the smartest people in the city. Everyone loves her.....well not everyone.

************************

About 5 miles out from the rich part of the city lives Tate James or better known as TJ. Unlike April TJ struggles with money, a lot. At the moment, he's doing 5 jobs trying to make enough money to keep the house he lives in.

His Mum, Lucy James, was diagnosed with lung cancer. She is in need of surgery fast but they just don't have the money. His dad left him and Lucy 14 years ago. Tate was left looking after his mum and finding jobs to pay off the house and hospital bills. None of his jobs pay anywhere near the amount that is needed, but he never loses hope.

In the battered apartment block Tate lays awake at 5 o'clock in the morning after having another sleepless night. Sighing, he clambered out of the single blanket that laid across a single mattress on the floor. Reaching the grubby bathroom, he turned the shower on. He had to move back as a yellow-browny coloured water came pouring down from the shower head. He was used to it. After about 10 second the cleanish water followed through, cautiously stepping into the shower he began to rinse off; being as quick as possible. Shivering, he starts to wish he had the money to pay the water bill.

After his shower he brushed his teeth as quickly as possible before he's late for his first job of the day. He picked out a worn-out pair of denim jeans and plain grey t-shirt. Running a hand through his hair he headed for the door to start another day of his hard-working life.
