A Cinderalex Story

Left with the 'Steps'

After my father passed away, my mother thought it'd be okay to marry another man. I mean, if she was in love with him, it's not so bad. It's only bad because when mother passed away as well, I was stuck with 'The Steps'. My stepfather and his two sons

We have my stepfather, Peter, who's heart is as pure...as coal dipped in horse waste. Then we have the twins, Jack and Justin.

"Alex! Get your ass down here! Make us breakfast!" Jack yells from the kitchen. "Coming.." I mutter. God, he doesn't have to yell so much.. He's just like his dad. "Hurry up faggot!" My stepfather yells.

I run down the stairs and go to the kitchen. "I'm sorry sir!" I quickly grab the eggs out of the fridge and pancake mix from the cabinet. "Where's the bacon Alex..?" I check the freezer. "I-I think we're out."

I hear Jack walk up behind me. "I-I'll get more.." He nods then walks away. "Father, Alexander needs money to buy the bacon for breakfast." Justin mutters. Justin's never really hated me but he doesn't go against his father's words. Luckily when we're alone, he gives me books to read and I actually like him more than his father and brother.

"Here. Justin, go with him. Go get a snack or something as well." My stepfather hands Justin $15. "Bye father." Me and Justin leave the house, sighing a breath of relief after closing the door.

"I'm glad Father gave us a bit more than usual. We can get you your favorite food." My face lights up. "Caesar salad?" I ask excitedly. "Yeah, the bacon's cheap here so I think we have enough."

We take our time getting to the market, not wanting to go home to stepfather. He can be very unpleasant at times. "Hello Alexander, hello Justin." The man at the stand says gently. "Hi Benjamin!" Justin says quickly. "What can I get you two?"

"I'll have a pound of bacon and a caesar salad." Justin says for me. "Coming right up." Benjamin reaches into the fridge behind him. "I kept Alex a salad since I know he likes 'em a lot. Here's your bacon as well." Ben hands me the stuff. "That's 13.95." Justin hands him the $15. "Keep the change Benny."

We then walk back to the house, me eating along the way so Justin doesn't  get in trouble for buying me food.. "Would you like some Justin?" He shakes his head and continues walking. "You should eat. Father barely feeds you.."

I finish eating and throw the empty container in the trash bin. "We should hurry home. Father doesn't want to wait for breakfast."

"Father, we're home! We brought you bacon for our breakfast." Stepfather raise an eyebrow. "Make breakfast you faggot." I sigh the get the pancake mix and eggs out. "Father, he's so gross. Why do we keep him?"

I ignore Jack's rude comment and finish cooking. "Your breakfast is almost ready." I tell them. "Good." Stepfather mumbles.

I set the plates on the table and they sit down. "Go to your room Alexander. You're not needed right now." Stepfather says with a mouthful of food. "Y-Yes sir.." I give Justin a sad smile before walking to my room.
