Chapter 1: Just Like Every Day

Once upon a time, there lived three brothers in an average house in the park. There was Skips, the oldest; Benson, the middle sibling; and Mordecai, their young stepbrother. Now, Skips and Benson are men of high class and they treat their stepbrother with great disrespect; they make poor Mordecai sweep the floors, do the laundry, wash the windows, etc. It's been like this ever since his parents passed away and he's been stuck with his abusive brothers ever since; however, he believes that, one day, he will have a better life and all his wishes will come true. One morning, Mordecai woke up early and started cleaning the kitchen.

Mordecai sighed deeply as he worked, "Another day and more chores to do. I wish I had a better life than this. I don't want to work for my brothers forever." His bones ached already.

Suddenly, a bell rang and a voice can be heard from upstairs to the living room.

Benson yelling from upstairs, "Mordecai! Where's my breakfast? Hurry up!"

Mordecai as he rushed to cooking, "Alright stepbrother! I'm coming!"

He started to prepare the breakfast dishes as he heard his other brother, Skips, yelling as well.

Skips shouting to his step-sibling, "Speed it up, Mordecai! You better not be slacking off!"

Mordecai while he worked, "Don't worry, stepbrothers! I'll be up soon!"

Mordecai prepared two trays with cups of tea and plates of food. He carries them upstairs to where his brothers sleep; he stops in one room and sets on tray down. Mordecai entered Bensons room.

Mordecai acted polite, "Good morning, Benson. Did you sleep well?"

Benson scoffs at the comment, "Whatever, you idiot. I want you to shine my shoes and wash the windows today. And no skipping corners, you hear me?" He always acted rotten to poor Mordecai.

Mordecai nodded at him, "Yes, Benson."

He walked out of the room, picked up the other tray, and headed for Skips' room.

Mordecai smiled slightly at his brother, "Good morning, Skips. Have a nice rest?"

Skips frowned at him, "As if you cared. Sweep the stairs and do all the laundry today. And try not to use too much starch this time. Got it?"

Mordecai sighed to himself, "Yes Skips."

Mordecai walked out of the room, knowing how much work he had to do. It was just like every day at the house. As the morning went on, poor Mordecai did nothing but scrub the floors, wash the dishes, fold his brothers' laundry and everything else they wanted him to do. Of course, Benson and Skips love to boss around their young sibling as much as they want; they love to pile a lot of work on Mordecai. And today is no exception.

Skips acted really smug to the blue jay, "Hey Mordecai, you missed a spot."

He and Benson taunt their stepbrother as Mordecai scrubbed the floors.

Benson smirked as he spoke to Mordecai: "Oh, and Mordecai, Skips and I are gonna take a walk into town and we're thinking of letting you join us."

Mordecai was surprised at Benson, "Really?"

Skips and Benson just laughed at him, "Heck no! Hahahahahahaha!"

Mordecai expected that from his stepbrothers; they always pull stunts like that and show no remorse for their little sibling. It's one of the things that Mordecai is used to.

Skips cleared his throat and spoke seriously, "But seriously, we want this house spotless by the time we get back, or you'll get no food today. Understand?"

Mordecai as he looked down, "Yes, Skips."

As soon as his brothers left, all Mordecai did was work, work, work; he cleans all day and never gets a break, or at least any praise for it. However, it wasn't always like this for him. There was a different time when he was just a happy and carefree child.

(Flashback)

Seventeen years ago, a 6 year old Mordecai lived with his mother and father and they had a very happy life; Mordecai was one of the happiest children in the park. That changed when his poor father died of a heart attack. The boy and his mother, however, learned to cope with it and they were glad that they still had each other; still, the woman felt that her son needed a fathers love, so she married again. She chose a man of high class and he had two boys just about Mordecais age (Benson and Skips).

One Week Before Wedding

His mother wanted her son to be supportive, "Now, Mordecai, I know it will be different having a new father and two brothers. But, try to be strong for me...and your father up in heaven. Okay?"

Young Mordecai nodded at his mother, "Sure Mom! I think it will be cool to have brothers and another Dad won't be so bad."

The mother smiled warmly at the boy, "That's my sweet boy. But, remember this: No matter what happens, I'll always be with you through anything."

Young Mordecai hugged her waist, "I know, Mom. I love you."

Mother sighed happily as she hugged back, "I love you too, sweetie."

Unfortunately, after two years with his new "family", Mordecai lost his mother to illness; that's when his stepfather and 2 stepbrothers began to show their true selves towards the young blue jay. The poor child was devastated. First, he lost his father; then, he lost his mother, and now he has to deal with an abusive family. Whenever he was alone, he just cried in a corner in his room.

Little Mordecai was crying over his loss, "Oh Mom...Why did you leave me?...I don't want to live here anymore...Please come back! I miss you"

With all this depressing him, you would think that Mordecai would give up would he? Nope. When he goes to sleep, he would see his parents, waiting with open arms and wishing him lots of hope. That's what kept the young man going: The confidence of his parents. Even though he was to remain in his miserable home, he felt content that his mother and father are watching over him.

(End Flashback)

As soon as his boys were old enough to run things themselves, the stepfather left his inheritance to Benson and Skips and left to retire. However, just because his stepfather is gone, that doesn't mean that his older brothers from tormenting him. As soon as he finished his chores, Mordecai goes up to his room and he sits in his corner, all alone. He holds a picture close; the picture of his parents.

Mordecai spoke sadly to the photo, "Mom...Dad...I wish you were here with me right now. I'm trying to hang on, but it's just too hard. I just don't know what to do."

Mordecai calms down and takes a good look at the picture...with a hopeful smile.

Mordecai grins to himself, "But, don't you worry Mom and Dad. I won't give up my dreams that fast. I'll stay strong...for all of us." He held the picture close to his heart.

That young blue jay sure seems confident. It just proves that Mordecai will stop at nothing until his dreams come true. But the real question is: When will it really happen?

To Be Continued...
