In the camp the routine did not change, unfortunately the majority abandoned it or died because of the temperatures and the famine that we were going through. In the square it was harder for me to get fruits, they had already realized what I was doing and I had to look for several different places. My clothes were already worn and dirty, at this point I had nothing left intact or new. I always passed in front of "BLACK DIAMOND" to appreciate the new clothes I had and I always saw that car arrive, but I kept going.

I had become accustomed to this new life, one night I arrived at the camp as usual and Olivia and Thomas were waiting for me with a small cupcake, a candle was held on it. That day, it was my birthday. I never thought they would remember the date I once mentioned in a certain nocturnal conversation. They brought me so many beautiful memories. I embraced them with force while minutes later, they tasted me "Happy Birthday". It was a small cupcake that I divided for all. They had given me some pants and a shirt full of patches as a gift and that gesture broke my heart, those people who knew me recently became more interested in me than my parents.

"It's very rare that guys as young as you, end up in these places and more respectful guys, did not you have other places to go?" Olivia used to ask about issues related to this again and again.

"I only had my parents, I was an only child and my grandmother died several years ago, at school my only friends when they graduated moved to the United States. Since I was a child I had wanted to come to Sydney, and I knew them, but let's not talk more of my affairs. How did you end up here? "

"We come from Brisbane and I think that most of those who are here have gone through the same thing as us: debts. We could not pay for our home and taking it away also took our daughter, without any hope we decided to come here to try our luck, but fortune has turned our backs on us. We have been 4 years We do not want you to pond here as it happened to us, James. "

"I'm sorry to hear that, but I appreciate everything you've done for me." That was true. I felt Olivia and Thomas as true parents, although I did not understand why they had always behaved this way with me, I came to have a deep affection and respect.

Maybe that night, when we went to sleep, it was the beginning of what I wanted for my life. The next morning I made the decision to be the man to get off that luxurious car in front of the "BLACK DIAMOND".
