Stepbrother: Phan

Ashley is excited for his friends wedding, until it turns out she wants him to be a bridesmaid... But he may just learn that he loves the role...

This is my life story it is dark and full of Loss, heart ache, and depression. But it needs to be heard.

"You're the only person who hasn't changed." Yukinoshita's words echoed through my ears which have been deaf for my entire life. She exits the house, never to be seen again. More like, I was the person to never been seen again... My father and mother had found a job that paid very well in the United States of America. Me, my little sister Komachi and my parents were forced to move into the U.S. I couldn't bring myself to tell all my... the people who I normally cooperate with in high school. I was going to graduate as a 3rd Year anyway, I doubt I would see more than half of them during adulthood. In the end, they all found out because Haruno managed to get that information out of me. Let's just say... All I did was wanted to not worry them. I mean, is there a reason to be worried that Hachiman Hikigaya has been missing? Yet 2 of my.. acquaintances, worried for me. I failed to even notice that and I paid the price. So I cut all their contact info, I hesitated to delete Yukinoshita's contact number but she had already done the deed first. "Let's go, say goodbye to Chiba." Komachi went into the car, with tears. I, Hachiman, didn't shed none, for I never had any friends in the first place right? We moved into the U.S. in California. We weren't exactly rich but we were richer than average foreigners that lived here. It was all thanks to my parent's new jobs. "So, have you found a job yet?" My father asks. Being 18, I knew I would have to find a job in a matter of months or else I'll possibly get kicked out. I threw away newspapers that were recruiting young people for small minor jobs like becoming a cashier for a fast food restaurant. Or maybe a newspaper boy and a person who puts stuff in the markets. Then I noticed a brochure that went with the newspaper. 'Become a future U.S. army soldier and help us fight in the War in Afghanistan!' "You're the only person who hasn't changed." Her last words still haunt me. But I'm just about to change myself.

I can't believe I'm publishing this...

My whole life was a misery Still I tried hard to go through it I was a mess when I found you I found peace in you You were my everything but You chose someone else leaving me behind I was a mess but it seems like I am worse than a mess now. I wanted to make your life perfect but I couldn't I know you've gone through a lot But you never knew what I was going through I knew I wasn't perfect for you Still I tried to be by your side Taking an oath that I'll never leave you behind I wish you could ever understand me the way I understood you.

Might as well call this a memoir of my life, all the real, boring and sad parts of me shoved in public for all eyes to see. Who am I, that's one secret I'll never tell You know you love me, xoxo (I couldn't help it)

Well, this was unexpected, but I'm glad it happened because I now know that this is what I really wanted . . .

I've waited all my life for a love like this .
