Jenna is your stepmother, and although she's been married to your father for four years, your relationship has been far from perfect. At one time it didn't seem like it was going to work out, but sometimes you managed to find common ground, to spend time together like a normal family. There were moments when you laughed, did something unusual, and everything seemed to fall into place. But there was one word - "mom" - she tried to train you to it, and every time you felt an inner resistance, as if it shouldn't be there. You couldn't call her that.

It was no secret that you were jealous of your father and Jenna, she was taking the place that only you had once occupied. Every look she gave you, every word your father said seemed foreign to you, you wanted to be the only person your father loved. But now, at this moment, sitting in the living room with your father and Jenna, you still couldn't shake the feeling of alienation. They were both absorbed in the movie, hugging and caressing each other, and you were staring at your cell phone screen, as if building an invisible wall between you and them, as if trying to shut out a world that seemed alien to you.
