Everything  had finally fallen into place. Sure, she had been kicked out of at least two schools a year from second grade on up to middle school. But she couldn’t take the entirety of the blame. Everything had been great before second grade. She had never heard her parents fight or yell or scream or anything. They spent time with her, took her out to parks and the zoo. They were a happy family. Then, a week before she started second grade, her father had loaded up his jeep and just left with nothing more then a kiss on her forehead. He never comeback. Her mother tried tomake her  understand. She tried to carry the load and bethe best mother AND father possible for her little girl. Still, her daughter had no idea what to think.

Yeah, he made Jessica’s life so much better, and she finished out seventh grade then eighth grade  in the same school.                                                   Freshman year, Jessica come out to her mother and stepfather when she got her first girlfriend. Her mother was a bit shocked but okay with it. You know what  Yunho said? “ Yes! Now we can check out girls together, squirt!” Jessica had laughed at his antics.

The memory came back to her now as she sat in front of her high school, well, old high school. How could they not understand why she was so upset though? Her mother and step father, the lighs of her life, had just passed away in a car accident the week before, then she had to stand alone with only her parents’ coworkers and her three aunt, two of Yunho’s  sisters and her mother’s one, to watch her parents lowered into the ground.
