So that was it. I was on my own. Just me and my girl.
I had a little money left in my savings from all the checks my parents sent when I was young.
See, my grandparents never used them. They just put them in a savings account for me.
And I never touched it.
I guess because I always had a feeling something like this would happen one day.
Anyway.
We were happy. Maybe a little scared.
We were kids just out of high school.
I think we just really didn't know what to do.
But I got a job at a coffee shop.
Emily got a job at a pet shop.
I mean, we weren't making good money, but we were surviving.
