I don't own True Blood

When I was thirteen years old, my sister Dawn who was eighteen at the time, decided that it was time that we leave everything behind us. Including our parents.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that daddy likes his drinking and mom is submissive, and Dawn couldn't take it anymore, and now she had the money to go, so she would take her chances. And as sisterhood laws applied, she just couldn't leave me behind.

Either way, we packed our things, went to Dawn's car and drove off. With little help of child services that could clearly see that my eighteen year old sister was more capable of taking care of me that our parents. Not that I could blame the social security lady when she came to our house and saw my father passed out in the couch with a six pack in the coffee table.

I feel bad for mom though, she is a good person, and would be a good mother if she just leaves her husband's sorry ass.

Dawn wanted us to go to New Orleans, seeing as is a major tourist attraction and the chances of getting a job were easy. But seeing as we lived in Monroe, and we didn't have that much money to drive all the way to New Orleans without social services thinking that we were wasting the money that was supposed to maintain me, we have to find a large city that was closer to us, but not enough close so that our parents were able to drop by and visit.

And that's how we find ourselves in Bon Temps. We were supposed to go to Shreveport but something about the little town caught my interest. Besides with all the driving our legs were stiff. So we parked in the first place we saw that sold food: Merlotte's bar and grill.

Merlotte's is the typical small town place where the entire town went for a good time. And it looked nice, so we went to the bar and order a pair of cokes. And while we were waiting, Dawn saw the reason why we stay in this town to this day.

The Help Wanted sign.

And if that wasn't enough, the owner of the bar, Sam, also rented little condos, especially to his employees. Which is a win-win situation for everyone: Sam has a new employee and Dawn and I have income and a place to live.

After that, everything went smoothly. Dawn got me enrolled in Bon Temps junior high. Got a babysitting job for Arlen. I was in school while she worked lunch time, and have a place to go if she worked at night. Or if she have to go somewhere at night. Somewhere with Jason Stackhouse, that is. Because ever since we came to Bon temps, she and Jason have this on and off thing going on. They would date a while, then he would forget to call, she got pissed and broke the thing over, then he would call after being with other women and the thing would be back on. If you ask me, I think that in the end they would stay together, not like married, I mean, this is Jason Stackhouse we're talking about, but they would be together. I just can't think of someone else, Jason has always been there, he taught me how to drive, how to get a fake ID, and all the other girls need to learn from they're brother figure.

Now I'm nineteen years old, I'm older and wiser. I get to attend to this private university thanks to my grades. Nothing has changed much, Dawn and Jason still have their thing going on, people in Bon Temps don't change much.

And two years ago it was discovered that vampires are real, thanks for the japanese and their synthetic blood.

One last thing, for future references: my name is Adrian Green, and yes I have a boy's name even though I'm a girl, and yes, this is a long story.
