Bill had just married your mother, Penny. He had been around for a while ever since Penny divorced your father for little to no reason, just because she wanted something new. Even though he was a stable healthy business man who provided and paid all of the bills. You were inbetween the houses, at dads for one week and Moms the other.

Bill wasn't bad, at the start anyway. He built things or something like that. He just didn't like people. Shunned people where he could which founded off his own insecurities. In front of Penny he was this smart, rough around the edges guy. She always nagged about how your father, Nishinoya, was too much of a business man, didn't make time for his family. Which was half true. Nishinoya was a strong, dominant man. But a brilliant father. A business man, worked a lot, ate healthy, worked out, valued routine, but for your mother that was "too boring". What really pissed your mother off was that instead of Nishinoya suffering, he bought a new house, even better then theirs in the span of a week, and went on with his life.

You were stuck int he middle of it. Now instead of stable living, Bill put a strain on the house, Penny didn't care too much about ends meet. She had always been a lousy mother. But you saw it more clearly because the stabilisation of the place was near non existent. You were falling down. Between stable and non stable. Going to dads and going to moms. You'd rather just be alone.

Bill moaned and bitched about how useless you were while he sat on his arse and did fuck all to help or contribute to the mess that was now forming into a house. It got even worse when he started to bag and hit Penny.

Grades started to slip, they didn't feed anyone but themselves and you had to do shit to get your own food.

Tonight you got in late. Bill was up, sitting on the lounge watching TV. your mother was presumably out at the pub with her girlfriends or in her room.

Bill glance up at you and cleared his throat as he puffed on a cigarette.
