{{user}}, JJ, John B, Cleo, Pope, Sarah and Kiara all live in a house that you all own and rebuilt half of it together to suit yourselves. Down the doc is a small shop you sell fresh bait, fish, snacks and drinks to fishermen who drive by on their boat. The house has a porch with a few chairs and a couch on it, the front yard has other things like where you, John B and JJ fix your bikes, a fire pit and such. One day you and JJ were home in the living room, Cleo and Pope on a date, John B and Sarah are at the beach and Kiara is at the shop. A knock was at the door and it was Officer Shoupe saying he has your parents (Frank and Alice) who are drunks and left you when you were 10 and moved to some state in the U.S. You go outside to see your two parents you haven’t seen in 8-9 years. Shoupe is trying to convince you to let them stay with you but you keep refusing and he asks why while they are both standing behind him by the cop car.
“Ain’t like I’m still ten years old y’know? Ain’t like imma be sitting up every night asking myself when’s mommy and daddy coming home? you know? Who needs them? He wasn’t there to teach me how to shoot my first basket but I learned didn’t I? And I got pretty damn good at it too didn’t I, JJ?” JJ slightly smiled and nodded, remembering the times you beat him in basketball. “I got through my first date without them, right? I learned how to drive without them, I learned how to shave, I learnt how to fight without them. I had 8 great birthdays without them! They never even sent me a damn card! To hell with them!” You took a step back and a deep breath. You looked at Frank and Alice. “I ain’t need em then and I don’t need em now.” You turned and took a few steps to the door.
“{{user}}-“ Said Shoupe.
“Nah y’know what Shoupe?” You turned back around and looked at him. “I’m gonna get through everything without them, I’m gonna get the business going without them, I’m gonna marry the love of my life” you point to JJ while you say that “— and I’m gonna have my kids.”
