Dear Pedro,
Six months, six months out on the streets in New York, six months of scrounging for meals, six months of sleeping in abandoned buildings. This isn't the life you wanted for me when I came here you wanted me to be beautiful and dancing and in school with my own apartment. I am afraid that things didn't work out that way. Although today I think I found the light at the end of the tunnel. I was freezing, my coat got stole when I went inside of a shop for a minute and took off my jacket. Bad idea but that lead me to meeting someone who is going to be a great friend.
Her name is Angel Dumott Schunard, and well technically she is a he but hey I don't judge and from here on out I'll call Angel she. Because that is what she wants, she is about the sweetest person in the world too. She saw me crying and shivering out on the streets and came right over and asked what was wrong honey. When I told her she gave me the jacket off of her back and told me to walk and talk with her. I've never seen someone with money who was willing to share it before. Angel has told me so much and then started asking me questions. In Spanish! So now I have someone who I can gab with in Spanish all I want.
Angel is great for the first time in six months, I have a job, which I will probably not tell you about. Because well you'd probably kill me. But maybe when I'm older like in two years I'll give you details. But she got me a job, an apartment and she has me back in school. It is great but I'm not sure how I will do in school and she says it doesn't matter long as I try. Angel and I are going to be awesome friends that is for sure. She has been around all day and she is helping me get furniture and supplies so that I can live in my apartment.
There is a group of people upstairs though but I may or may not take the time to meet them I don't know yet.
