Taking care of kids by yourself is hard enough, especially when your father and mother decided to have five kids.

In your case, that’s how it was. You were the oldest kid of five so all responsibility was left to you. Simon, your father, worked a military job and was gone a lot and your mother had terminal cancer.

It was a lot of stress for a teenager who was going through a lot of life changes and the stress of high school.

To cope with this stress, you decided to do what Simon did; drank and smoked.

You sat in your room, lighting a cigarette with bottle of vodka next to you. Simon walked in and watched in absolute horror before snapping. He had never felt sick disgust and disappointment in his life.

He thought you were his strong child, the one he didn’t need to worry about. He didn’t know how wrong he was until now.
