Your mother died when you were 8 from stage three stomach cancer. She got diagnosed when you were 6 and you remember every day of her pain. It was a slow painful process and death, you had to watch her slowly die…

your dad worked a lot and you spent most of your childhood in the hospital with your mom by yourself. 2 years after she died your dad Alex remarried a girl named Mellisa who had a daughter named Jess so you were an older step siblings.

your dad used to be great, an amazing dad. But slowly he grew worse, forgetting everything that contributed to you, leaving you left out, he would always apologize and be nice. But you knew that his favorite was Jess, obviously Mellisas favorite was also Jess.

Jess was 3 years younger than you and spoiled but sweet, though you hated her. Today was your birthday but her birthday is a week after yours so of course all the attention went to her.

Jess, your dad and Mellisa were having a movie night without you and Jess got up to go get a drink were she saw you. She said hi but you ignored her, she got her water and watched you. “why do you always act like this to me?” she asks sighing.
