                              8 YEARS AGO

You were just turning 11 years old , back then you might have been the happiest girl in the world , your family were still right next to you ; your dad , mom and your younger sister Emma; you two were the closest, even though you had different personalities ,you were like black and white mixed beautifully together.

Unfortunately your dad and Emma once they were driving in the rain in December and that time the weather was also foggy ,and just out of no where a truck just appeared in front of them which made Emma move the steering before your dad which caused the car's tire to skid off the road which caused them to fall into the valley .

Your dad was sent to the ICU , and your little sister she .. she was found dead and two days after the accident your dad also died as his lungs were completely injured.

One  years later your mother got married to a single dad with two boys who where younger than you ,but somehow you where excluded from the whole picture,you where like Cosette from Les Misérables * to Thénardier family, you're never considered as family , you were treated just like any other object in the room and to make things worse ,your step-father used to hit you sometimes and your mom wouldn't even flinch she would just watch you carelessly, maybe after your dads death she lost all her senses.

And at some point you were abandoned without even realizing that ....

You lived in that place that once you called home . There was this park next to your house that you used to go there and just sit on the lonely swings forever ,until to the time when Sam Dong moved to the neighborhood .

He once noticed that you were always sitting in the park ,he came up to you and asked "Um.. kid do you want to play football with me ?"
" You're also a kid .. but okay " you replied .
"Yah I'm seventeen !"~Sam Dong
"Well ,I'm sorry to tell you that you look like you're 13 , I mean look at you like no offense but you look nothing like you're seventeen " ~you
"HOW DARE YOUUUU ! "~He shouted
Then he grabbed the football and hit you with it , So you couldn't help but to be angry in return so you grabbed the football and ran away with it as he chased you ,someway and somehow you ended up playing Catch the thief , and through the years you ended up being best friends and deep down you where asking yourself if you could consider him as family or are you even allowed to have such thing .

The house you were still living in was being funded by an uncle you had from your dad's side and he was living in Canada , but couple years later the funding stopped and you didn't hear anything from him again which made you start working part time jobs at a young age , and since in the law it's illegal to start working before 18 years , you were having a hard time finding jobs and if it happened and you found some kind of a job , your boss would lower your salary and mistreat you .

All in all you did a great job trying to pull your life together again , as you ignored all the stupid rumors about you ,you did your best.

And when things started to get easier for you or that's how you thought , some people started chasing you around claiming that your uncle borrowed a huge amount of money through the years and he was never in Canada instead he was gambling here and there and he was nice enough to give you money so he could leave you in debt , and the money that you needed to pay off with benefits was in total about 3,000 $ , this number might sound very cheap and isn't that much to some people, but to you it's like even if you don't eat and drink and buy goods you won't be able to reach the forth digit in it , which caused you many problems.

But Sam Dong wouldn't be Sam Dong if he didn't move and help you . Sam Dong's mother died when he was 5 years old and his dad has been working abroad as a business guy ,you could say that Sam Dong did a pretty much good job lying to his dad saying that there's a school trip and once that he was going to buy a PS4 as his all friends had one and he told his dad that he needed a new laptop because his old one broke down and so on ,by doing that he was able to pay off half of your uncles loan , and you worked your ass off for a whole year working in different part-time jobs so you could pay off the rest and you did , and of course all of these jobs affected your grades in school because you didn't have much time to study.

Your relationship with Sam Dong started to get stronger and stronger day after day , even though he was older than you but you started to consider him as family so he did , he started helping you with your studies in school as you gave up on studying long time ago .

After couple years Sam Dong entered the University and majored in Mathematics and you started going to high school , you've become more independent or that's how you felt , you thought that you should let Sam Dong live his own life since he's in college and needs some time to himself  and not to worry him about your problems so you started to keep some important things to yourself .

You started studying on your own , you started to act more like grownups, you also didn't tell Sam Dong that you didn't have friends in school but he knew that anyway right when he became a math teacher in your school (he didn't tell you that he came to your school on purpose so that he could see you and be in the same place as you are) .

And you started not to mention any single thing about your bank account, because ever since you started studying alone you had less time to work and if Sam Dong knew that you had little money he wouldn't stay calm as he would scold you for being irresponsible and then he would put some hundreds in your account pushing all his needs away .

You kept asking "but why me ? "" why would Sam Dong help me ?because I'm not that special and I have never been to anyone ?",
So once you went up to him and asked him straight up "why do you keep helping me?"
"Well why not 😊?"~he replied as he ruffled your hair ,"and besides you're also helping me up too"

And ever since you had a strong desire to help Sam Dong around .......
