Chapter Twenty Four.

2013

Often a time things fell apart for Josh and I and this was one of those times. Josh had lost his job, not because of any sort of misconduct but because the the store was shut down. With so many responsibilities to cater for, Josh and I found ourselves in yet another tragic situation. We had just moved out of our old apartment to an even worse apartment not so far away. The conditions may have been terrible but it was a cheaper stay. The apartment was cheaper and that worked in our favor but the block was filled with thieves. Josh and I had been robbed three times in just four days.

Royalty was home instead of school every weekday too. Since she withdrew from her old school she had been staying home. Josh and I couldn't afford any sort of school fees right now. We hoped that this situation would be temporary because Royalty would have to repeat a grade again. King and Leigh had needs that weren't being met too. Our lives fell apart and all in a blink of an eye.
