Chapter 12 Extra Job

• My name is Lucy.
• A child born out of stupid horny irresponsible man and woman who I never got to know in my struggling 17 years of existence which is up to present. They left me in front of a chapel in a suburb where an elderly nun took me in, gave me for adoption, and now my adoptive parents divorced. None of them wanted to keep me, so I left home. If you can even call their house and family home, they always fight ever since I can remember. The man, my adoptive father, works away from home as a Mine Site Researcher. His job brings him to different places almost all year round. His wife is a businesswoman but a struggling alcoholic. They thought having a child conceived or adopted would change her, but it didn’t. She got more addicted, and it left the husband no choice but to divorce her.
• I have learned how to survive on my own even though people thought I have a family to raise me. At the young age of thirteen, I have already experienced earning a few bucks. The job was not difficult, but it wasn’t something anyone would be proud of. I was a minor, so normal jobs weren’t on the list. I did babysitting for my neighbors. House cleaning to some. Running errands and anything I could. People thought I was just earning to make use of time, for fun and experience. They didn’t know I was trying to make all ends meet to survive. Until this day, I had a bigger offer for something I didn’t know could also be an easy way to earn money.
