It is said that childhood is the most wonderful time in life: having fun with friends, going to school, going on vacation with your parents and being loved by them. Getting older, interested in girls, having first girlfriends, getting drunk for the first time. Finishing school, finding a good job and starting a family you are happy with.
But not everyone is so lucky. Not everyone can be born into a happy family and loved by their parents. Not everyone can finish their school. Because they have to see that they survive. Not every child can just be a child and have a normal childhood as they normally should. I was such a kid who could never really be. I had to see early on that I could handle myself. My mother left us when I was only 10 years old and my brother was only nine. When my mother was still with us, I could still go out with the other children and play football. In other words, be a child. But when my mother was finally gone, I had to take care of everything. My father hated me, he hit me and my brother. He was just plain brutal.
He blamed me for my mother running away. But I wonder what I could do for it? But I never found an answer to that. On my 14th birthday, my father threw me out of the apartment. But I would have left on my own because I couldn't take it anymore with my father. My brother had lived with a friend before, so he was safe. So that I was finally able to run away myself, and of course I did. I lived on the street for a few weeks, which was not always easy, I was almost always hungry and thirsty and I clearly lacked a warm shower. In addition, you have to be careful of some guys who would like to attack you first and then spend a night with you.
One day, when I was really hungry again and no money in my pockets, I decided to steal someone. I saw a tall man with black hair and light blue eyes standing in front of a shop, where he was looking at something. Judging by the looks, he had a lot of money. I decided to sneak up on him. I was about to grab his money when he suddenly held me. I wanted to leave right away, but couldn't. Of course the man wanted to know from me why I was doing this. At first I didn't want to tell him, why should I? But he said to me that he would not let me go until I told him. I have no other choice. I told him everything about my father and what he had done. He listened to everything and then asked me if I would work for him. I would always get something to eat from him and then I would always have enough money, I just had to do what he wanted. I said to him indignantly that I wouldn't go to bed with him, but he didn't want that either.He just wanted me to do a few things for him. I agreed, that sounded good.
I didn't know that this would be my darkest time and that from now on I would definitely not be a child anymore.
But I should find out soon enough.
This is my story. The story of how I became who I am today. Even how I got to know love and lost it again, how I became a father myself who would do anything for his son. You will find out all of this in my story.
