The Family That We Can't Get In

How We Were Brought Up

Rosie's POV

Hi my name is Rosie short for Rosalyn and I have a twin brother Ryan we are 15 and are moving yet again. See my mom and dad got a divorce when we were about 3 and they haven't spoken since my mom of course got custody of us but she never remarried or got another boyfriend and we are her only two kids. My mom tends to not get along people so we always had to move we of course move to new cities every time we move. When we were in upk we lived in Orlando Florida of course right next to Disney World we went there all the time it was mine and Ryan's favorite place I loved Disney Princesses and Ryan loved Monsters Inc. It was the perfect place for us then. Then the divorce happened and mom wanted to get officially away from my dad so we moved all the way acrossed the country to Los Angeles California. We went to a school there from about kindergarten to the end of first grade. Then my mom lost her job from punching her boss because he said that she wouldn't ever get anywhere with two kids and not being fully committed to her job. So we moved again. This time it was San Francisco California not far from where we were originally we lived there from about the beginning of first grade to the end of third. Then my mom lost her job after not showing up to work on time because she always got stuck in traffic I'm glad we left there though everyone there was judgemental Ryan was popular there but, he was popular at just about every school we went to but me not so much I don't like people because as soon as I get attached to my new friends my mom loses her job so we have to move again. The next place we went to was Salt Lake City Utah that was about the shortest amount of time that we ever stayed at a place. We were only there from about the end of third grade to about the middle of fourth. My mom got in a bar fight and lost her job yet again. I'm surprised she still gets hired by these places I mean she is a lawyer but still. That was also when she started leaving us home alone. So she went out alot and came home drunk alot. We always lived in the center of the city in an apartment with only two bedrooms so me and Ry would have to share but we didn't mind since my mom was never home we were basically the only family we had. We didn't see my dad or his family and my mom's family stopped talking to her because she got pregnant with us at 18 and her and my dad ran off because he was 24 so she took all her things and hasn't talked to her family since.

Ryan's POV

As my sister stated we have moved alot. After about the middle of fourth grade we moved to Denver Colorado I liked that place everything was based off sports but my mom fucking ruined it by getting in another bar fight and getting fired again she is such a lowlife. Then from fourth grade to the end of seventh we lived in Dallas Texas and it was too hot, me and Rose hated it there. Then my mom lost her damn job again big fucking surprise. So she packed us up again and we went to Philadelphia Pennsylvania biggest waste of time ever that place is such a fucking dump luckily my mom lost her job after only a month then we went to the Big Apple or New York City it was a nice place we lived there from the middle of seventh grade until the end of ninth grade. I liked it there but the people were not the nicest so I'm glad we are leaving. We are going to upstate New York and we aren't going to a city I don't know if I want to go to the country with all of the hicks and country people. I'm actually glad my mom slept with her boss and then was fired when it didn't work out. So now we are in the smallest town I think I've ever seen and we are at a new school that doesn't even have 1000 students in the entire school in all the schools we have been in have had at least 1000 students in each grade not the whole damn school this ought to be fun. Fuck my life.
