Author's Note – I see that I am getting a lot of views for this story so I will keep writing for it! Reviews are greatly accepted!
1. Why are you going to work for your father if you have so many problems with him?
If I have learned nothing else from Yugi it is that I should give people a second chance. He has not done anything to us in the past year and I believe that he is getting better. I think my problem was that I kept jumping in when it really wasn't my business. Now I know what some of you smart asses are thinking, "you're always in someone else business" and to you I say "fuck you!" As I have mentioned many times now, if I had minded my business then a lot of your favorites would be dead so I'm not going to mind my business when someone or anyone is in trouble so I stepped in. I do not trust him and I am not looking forward to working with him but I do have a plan, which is saving up enough money so that I can move out of that house. But I don't want you guys thinking that I had just a miserable childhood because that is not true either. I had everything I needed and pretty much everything I wanted except the one thing I truly wanted, love from my parents.
But with that being said, I was always told by both them and my sister who I consider to be my mother is that if I was not going to university I had to go to work. My father owns a chop shop so I lined up a job with him as a mechanic but I plan to go into the military a few months after graduation or as soon as I have enough to take care of myself in the beginning. You make money every day in service, even when you are just training and I'm already physically fit and know my way around a gun! So I'm going to be paid for doing things that I'm already familiar with! I haven't told anyone because I'm afraid of what people might say about it, but I know that I can do this! I've already faced danger, I know the meaning of sacrifice as I have done that many times already and it would be an honor to serve my country. Plus, the travel that I would get to do as well, I mean the Japanese Armed Forces go everywhere; including overseas! So though I'm a little scared about how people will react to it, I doing it. I mean look at my friends, every time they have set their goals to do something they get it done. I mean Joey went from this street thug to respectable duelist, Yugi became King of Games and Tea is working hard to be ready for her audition to Julliard. So I think that I'm qualified enough to enlist in the military and learn how to both make and fly planes.
2. Why do you consider your sister to be your mother?
Because though I love my mother, she keeps choosing to let my father hurt us then to protect her children. My father has been like this violent person off and on for the duration of my life and my sister took it upon herself to protect me and for that she will hold a greater place in my heart than her. There was one time when was I was seven, our neighbors called CPS because my mother and father had gotten into yet another fight. I called myself trying to step in and protect her, but then she turns around and starts to beat me to. My sister who was still living with us at the time got her off of me and started to fight her for hitting me. When CPS finally came, my mother had the nerve to side with my father and say that I was the reason behind their fighting. My sister who was eighteen at the time was screaming at the social worker, showing her all the bruises and scratches on my body caused by both of my parents. So because of that I was removed from the house and had to stay in the system for about a year until my sister could legally take me in. All was well until she met her soon to be husband and had her first child with him. Then everything was, "you should talk to mom and dad" and "you should start back staying with them for a while". I was so angry with her in the beginning because she was willing to send me back to them after everything they have done to both of us; hence the reason why I hated my nephew and Joshua in the very beginning. I eventually had to go back to them but that's when I started to stop trusting people because the one person that was always there for me was willing to let me get hurt if it meant keeping her perfect family. Years later I understood the reason behind everything but I still felt abandoned by her. But she was there when my mother chose not to be and I'm forever grateful to her for that.
3. Foster care? What happened when you were there?
Believe it or not, it was not a bad as I thought it would be. I was moved from place to place because of the fighting that I had to do for the stuff my sister would send me like toys and food. But aside from the constant moving around the neighborhood, it was not that bad I mean I got to attend the same school, see my sister and play with the dog she had just bought me, blankey. Some people were nicer than others but because I had my sister I wasn't that concerned.
