Living a Double Life

Hey, my name is Hope and believe it or not I have two families. By that I mean I ended up having a family with two different men but before you judge me let me tell you my story and how this all happened on accident... Let's start with back in my past.

Highschool is a difficult time for every teen since many don't know who they would become or what they wanted to do but I had it extremely rough because unlike everyone else who was able to choose their future I had mine played out right in front of me. You see my father Elijah Hansson was a successful businessman meaning that he wasn't around very often so it was mostly me and my mom, Rose Hansson at times but I wouldn't have it any other way. My mother was an amazing person she would always make time for me with us doing almost everything together from cooking, cleaning, and even playing games. She was my best friend and I loved her very much but there were days that she would also work since she didn't want to be a stay at home mom so during those days my dad would work from home. It was during one of these type of days that everything changed because on her way home my mom got into a car crash...she didn't survive. I remember that moment so clearly with those painful words finding their way out of the doctors mouth "I'm sorry for your loss" and with those words my entire word came crashing down. I couldn't think, I couldn't speak, I couldn't feel it was as though my soul had left my body and that began my journey as a sort of emotionless child.

You might be wondering where my father was doing in order to comfort me...well the answer to that was nothing he became completely engulfed into his work while ignoring the fact that his daughters eyes had gone dull with sadness and regret. I was as though he didn't care so neither did I...I started to not pay attention in school, start fights anytime I could, and shut everyone out. Of course my dad didn't care he was too busy keeping his business running and so I kept on with this behavior leaving me to be alone most times since no one wanted to be around an unstable mess like me. However once I reached 16 my father began to pay more attention to me and being as blunt as I am I asked him what was with this change in attitude turns out he was looking to marry me off to the Hao families son Jacob Hao which wasn't surprising seeing as all my old man cared about was his own companies gain.  I didn't really care though I just went on with my life since it's not like being told this stirred up any emotion within me it was just another piece of information that I needed to live with and I was fine with this. But then one day I was smoking in the park  and a person pulled the cigarette from my lips and little did I know then that this was the moment that my life would take a turn for a weird ride.
