Doe’s POV

By the time Doe was eleven years old, she found herself taking care of an Alzheimer’s-struck, elderly man.

She had been living most of the time with her closest friend Ashley, and her family after her young mother decided she couldn’t take care of her anymore.

She also worked part-time with a group of problematic individuals. It was a household whose income & family unit was slowly collapsing. That was the home she was paid to visit every day. Doe helped out until this home wasn’t better off itself. The eldest, a son, was never at home, the daughter found her way into the stripping industry and the mother was simply a traitor to her kin. It hadn’t always been that way, but when it became that, it stayed.

Nevertheless, Doe worked her way through schools until she was on her own. Meanwhile, the elder of that house, who she had spent most of her childhood caring, died three years ago.

May he rest in peace.
