Okay, so I guess the circumstances of having those children weren't the greatest, though I kept up my smile throughout every other word he said. And I could really relate to that last part. Of course I didn't have children, although... "Cassie. She's my younger sister...Only 13 years old. But I treat her like a kid, y'know? We both went through hard times, and things happened... I'm... I'm not supposed to see her anymore, but I still do. I crave going to all those parties, just so I can pull her aside and talk to her, if only for a few minutes. I think... I know what you mean, in that sense."
You wouldn't call my facial expression a frown or a smile at the memory, but almost... a mix of both. Just like all the things I went through back then. There were the good times and the bad and heck, even the worst. But I loved getting to talk to her. To get to know what's going on in my ex-family's lives, even if they don't consider me part of their's. "I guess you could say she's the only real family I have left."
