Chapter 15

Oliver stood watching while the only person who had been kind to him vanished into a crowd of people. He didn't understand why she abandoned him, he shouldn't have proposed anything to her, or maybe he should have explained himself better. He knew that nothing good came out of his mouth, and that's why he had to keep quiet most of the time. 

The sound of the ship setting sail made him jump; he covered his ears with his hands and turned around to see how one of the huge ships began to move forward. People are gathering, the noise increases, making him nervous. He was not used to many noises and many people; he really hated it.

Would that be the boat that Chrystal Daly bought? He would not go up; whether it was or not, he wouldn't do it. It wasn't the first time he found himself alone in a difficult situation; he had to face it, even if he was scared to death. He could not afford to give up; he had promised his mother that he would escape and live for her, for both.
