The Only Family I Have Left

Chapter 1: New Start

"Sammy, look at the park! It's huge!" My brother screamed, pointing out a sad park that looked like it hadn't been visited in years. Of course Alex would see it and be happy, he always sees so much good even in a run down park. I had finally arrived in my new town. I was in the middle trying to find our new house that my manager arranged for us to live in. This was our new start. In this place I only have goals. Keep my past a secret so we don't have any problems, protect my brother Alexander, don't let people in my life and make a lot of money fighting. "Look Alex, that's our new house," I pointed out to my brother trying to sound just as happy as him. He started bouncing in his seat in excitement. I couldn't help but laugh at my brother's excitement. I quickly hopped out helping him out of my new truck. As soon as I opened the door he went running around exploring our new yard. I grabbed our stuff from the truck before walking over to our house and opening the door. My brother quickly ran inside and started exploring. He started yelling that his room is the big room. I set our stuff down and looked around. This house isn't horrible. It has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a decent sized kitchen and family room, and it's only one floor. This is where Alex will grow up. I swear nothing will ever get between us. I'm sixteen and I'm the only family he has now, I'll be the parent, the sister, a student. I'll get the money so he'll never have to worry it may not be legally but it'll get us a good enough life. I will take care of everything and hopefully I can do it and make sure Alex can live a carefree childhood.
