Chapter 1: My Home Time

Prologue

Alfred's POV

Growing up in a city like New York had never been easy for a man such as myself, even though I lived about 20 minutes away from the actually city. Growing up with a middle class/average family, I had to step up and provide for my family. My father is a dock worker, he does heavy lifting of cargo and making sure everything is documented. My mother works in a glass making factor on the other end of town, but always has time to make us lunch and dinner. Me and Mattie, my older twin brother, got jobs to help out the family from going under; Mattie, got a job up in Canada to cut trees, and me, I work for a construction company that builds skyscrapers. Everyday that I went to work, I always felt like I was flying with my arms stretched out and imagining that there is not a steel bar under my heavy boots. We lost a guy last week, its was a windy day and the man was pushed by the wind. The structure was 50 ft off the ground. The poor guy never stood a chance, I never knew him but those kind of dangers come with this job. When I turned 18, I decided to move out to make room for a new member of the family that was coming, my mother cried when I told her I was leaving but I know she understood I was doing this for the little guy or gal in her.

It's been a year since then, and I still have the same job and I am now very respected in the city and made some cool friends. I have been living the dream with going out drinking with my best friends: Gilbert, Francis, Andersen, and Liam. Along with them, I have been taken to so many saloon's that I can't remember how many girls I have been with, but each one was never 'satisfied' me as Francis described. I always felt 'empty' inside like I was missing something. Most people at nineteen are already married and some with children already. Maybe there is something wrong, but I would never admit it to my buddies, they would say that "it'll just happen". My birthday is today, July 4th, and my buddies are taking me to this new poker place they know of. I guess I'll just go through another year of worrying and feeling not wanted, but I have a feeling that something is about to change.
