The Debt I Left Behind

Summary

My brother had been depressed lately because his girlfriend was in debt.

I cautiously asked him what was wrong.

He sneered, "Like I could explain it to an idiot like you. You wouldn't get it."

But I wasn't an idiot. I understood.

So, when my biological parents and older brother drove their luxury SUVs into our rundown rural town to pick me up...

I took five thousand dollars from them.

"Caleb. Here's the money."

The money you wanted so desperately, I leave it to you.

As for the family I always yearned for—they are finally right here beside me.
