  Sean sighed but continued, &quot;I took her back home to stay with Amber and I left in search of Leo, we went to my father and I told him about Amber s case and he threw us out, saying he has no business with his past. Leo had told me we don t have any other thing to do but the obvious, we had to steal. We attacked different stores that night and were lucky to escape without getting caught. On our way home, we saw a wounded man, we didn t think twice and ransacked him, taking every cent with him but we couldn t leave him there so we took him to the hospital and left him in front of it. The money we got wasn t enough; I couldn t go in and see mom s disappointed face so we left. We stayed on the road, robbing anybody we could. We did it for days, five days I think, until I believed we have gotten enough that could take us to the city.

  Athena smiled, &quot;Sean, most of us have done things we are not proud of, but that doesn t make us evil, I believe whatever it is you did, you did it for a reason.&quot;
  He nodded with a smile, not looking up at her, &quot;yes, for a reason.&quot;
  &quot;Well, you have my promise that I won t judge.&quot;
  He chuckled, looking up at her then, his hazel eyes shining brightly with the lights surrounding them, &quot;I can feel that you won t.&quot;
  &quot;See, even your heart believes in me.&quot;
  He laughed softly then and closed his eyes, he sighed, &quot;I wasn t burn rich.&quot;
  &quot;I know that already.&quot;
  He nodded, &quot;I have a traumatic past. You see, my family was the perfect one when I was growing up. But then, my dad lost his job when I turned six and everything changed, he began drinking, wasting all his savings in gambling and alcohol. My mom would often tr

  When Leo and I got to the hospital, mom saw us and started crying, Amber passed on the previous night, I cried, mom wasn t better and neither was Leo.
