I had just pulled into my fathers house, which was quite nice honestly. he must have a good job.

I stood at his doorsteps waiting for him to answer the door. once the door opened a blonde woman greeted me, showing a bright smile.

"hi! you must be Ashton," she said and I gave her a small grin before she let me walk in.
"i'm Judy, i'm your stepmom. sorry I won't be staying much longer, I actually have work," she frowned and I stopped in my tracks looking at her as if she were crazy.

"stepmom?"

she nodded her head, "probably wasn't what you imagined," she frowned, "but hopefully i'll be able to get to know you more tomorrow," she said and I nodded not really listening. I was just trying to get over the fact that I have a stepmom.

"uhm, do you have any kids?" I asked and she smiled and nodded.

"yes, I do! you have a thirteen year old brother, and a six year old sister," she smiled, "it's kind of weird how much she takes after you...I always thought she got it from her father," she said and I gave a small smile as she lead me over to a picture.

"oh," I said looking at my younger siblings, "wow she really does look like me."

she smiled and nodded, "her name is max. she's deaf, I don't know if you know any sign language. but if not, it's okay. she's very clever at reading lips," she said and I nodded.

"wait, I thought you had a brother and sister?" she frowned and I nodded swallowing.

"yeah, uh, they were gonna come next time. my mum wanted me to stay to make sure my dad was doing good, you know?"

she smiled, "smart mum you got there," she smiled, "well I really hope you like it, since your dad isn't home yet, would you like me to show you around?"

I shrugged before nodding and setting my bag down. we walked around their house, which was really nice. they both probably had great paying jobs.

"your dad use to mention you kids often. I always wondered when I was going to meet you, so i'm really excited you're here," she smiled hugging me.

I felt so awkward, but it was a good awkward. I smiled hugging her back, "yeah i'm glad i'm here too," I smiled.

she glanced down at her phone and frowned, "twenty minutes late, I should probably go. i'll see you tomorrow, here let me get your phone number," she said and I nonchalantly nodded giving her my number and she smiled.

I walked with her to the door, "oh one more thing Ashton," she said seeming more serious, "I know you haven't been around your father in awhile. but he's grown use to some habits," she said and I gave her a confused look, not catching her drift.

"he drinks often. usually he's fine, but I just wanted you to know, okay?"

I nodded my head, "yeah, alright. thanks for telling me judy. hope you have a good night at work I smiled and she waved me ff before she go into her car and left.

I sighed walking around, looking at the family
photos. they all look so happy. and max looks so much like me. it's kind of strange. I pled my phone out, before snapping a quick picture of her.

I continued looking at the photos, wishing that it was him with my family instead. but that could never happen again. ever.

I focused on her son, I think she said his name was Brayden. he favorited Harry. but him and Harry are the same age. I wondered if that was the reason my father left. before he knocked up another woman, and chose her over us. left mom when she was pregnant to be with another pregnant woman.
