I was deep into my books at the university library when my phone rang. It was my father. I could sense something wasn\u2019t right because he never called me to chat. \u201cCome home right away,\u201d he said, and before I had the chance to ask what was going on, he hung up on me.\n\n\n\n
I was tense and hurried towards my car while my books kept slipping from my hands.\n\n\n\n
Before I knew, I was at my dad\u2019s doorstep, wondering what was so urgent.\n\n\n\n He opened the door and as I entered I saw my stepmom, Linda, and her son, Jacob sitting on the couch.\n\n\n\n \u201cListen Emma,\u201d my father started speaking. \u201cJacob needs a place to stay for a while and since his old room is now Linda\u2019s office, he\u2019ll be taking your room.\u201d\n\n\n\n His words came as a shock to me. \u201cBut dad, where would I stay then?\u201d\n\n\n\n \u201cYou are a smart girl, Emma, you can live on the campus. You\u2019ll figure something out.\u201d\n\n\n\n But no, I couldn\u2019t live on campus full-time because I had to study and I barely found time for my part-job that was supposed to help me save up some money for the following semester. But my dad didn\u2019t seem to care.\n\n\n\n He was more concerned for his 35-year-old stepson who had wasted every chance ever given to him by my dad and my step-mom.\n\n\n\n Devastated but determined to navigate throughout the rough period that followed, I found another job. I spent my days working and studied during the nights. I could barely stand on my feet, but I knew I needed to show everyone that I would succeed. Over time, I managed to save up some money and rented a small apartment at the outskirts of the city. I was incredibly proud of myself.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
