“where did she meet your dad?." He asked. His attention was suddenly amplified.

“He was driving home from work and she was wandering out the streets. He took her in, basically. He was a great guy from what she said and she got pregnant with me. They got married after and then her gambling habits continued. It got worse over the years. I was about seventeen when she owed a very huge debt to this very mean loan shark, my dad cleared the debts. It took a toll on him financially, he wasn't making too much money and he spent most of his savings clearing debts here and there. She promised to stop, and do better…she started doing better, she even got a job and stayed at the job and then, a month after my eighteenth birthday, these men bursted into the house, with guns. I remember waking up to the sound of someone screaming and my mum crying. I stood at the top of the stairs, horrified as I watched the men try to shoot my mum and my dad wanted to save her. They shot him instead and they left.
