A new beginning

 We arrived at Connor place. Connor told me to call him uncle because he is like a brother to my dad. Nicholas felt bad because he couldn't take me in because work requires him to travel to dangerous places and go undercover. I had to reassure my uncle again that I will be okay. Uncle Connor told Nicholas not to worry because they will be in touch about everything that has to do with me. Uncle Nichoals had to get back to work. I don't know where he is going but I wish him well. I really wanted to get to know him better but when work calls what can I really do about it. I have many more chances to get to know him better. I didn't cry seeing him leave just like that. The reason I didn't cry was because I really don't know anything about my uncle. I'm not that close to him. But it's okay. As I was seeing him off I went back inside with my other uncle.

 Uncle Connor came up to me and told me he's sorry he tried to get my uncle to stay a little longer but he couldn't because it was an emergency. I just told him, "That's okay, what can we do?" He can't really stop working because of me. While we were talking he got up and said to follow him. He gave me a tour of the mansion. He said everything is mine and it's okay to act like a kid. He told me not to be afraid to ask for things. I told him thanks for everything but why are you treating me like I'm your only child. I said don't you have kids and a wife somewhere?" I said it without thinking. I'm sorry you don't have to respond. He said, I don't have someone I can really love. I haven't found one yet. I don't have kids so I can spoil you if I want. I think of you as my family so don't forget it." As we were walking he took me to my room but he told me to close my eyes because it was a surprise. I closed my eyes and at the same time I felt scared because I don't know what's behind the big door. He guided me inside slowly.

 He said, "you can open your eyes now." It took me a minute to say anything because I didn't know how to respond to something like this. He said, "He didn't know what color I liked so he just guessed the color of the theme." I told him, "I like the room, thank you so much." He said, "I can change it if I wanted to." But I said, "No this is fine." He told me to get comfortable and if I needed him. He will be in his office. The room was huge with white and pastel purple colors as the theme of the room. There was a huge bed, books, toys, stuffed animals and a vanity. Everything in this room was so beautiful that I couldn't help but look around. There were 2 doors in the room where I was staying. The first door I went to was a huge closet filled with clothes and shoes. Everything was my size. Then I went to the other door, I was shocked to see it was a big bathroom. It had everything. I left the bathroom and went to my bed.

 I thought to myself damn I never had this in my life well only when my parents were alive. I'll get used to living here. I will someday pay my uncle back just because it feels right by doing if he lets me. But I get the feeling he won't expect the payment. I was starting to get late, so I should go to sleep. By the time I woke up, it was already late into the night. I was having trouble sleeping. I went outside to the balcony so I could have fresh air blow into my face. The night was so beautiful that I smiled for the first time knowing I was finally free from the abuse. I'm going to learn how to live life with everything that happened to me for the rest of my life. I have lots to think about but for now I will enjoy being a kid for once. Without having to be scared all the time.
