Story Time Animated

When I thought about having a younger sister, I always pictured Mom walking through the front door with a loveable newborn in her arms. Life didn’t grant us that bundle of joy, instead I got a manipulative step sister named Zoey.

A few years ago after Dad passed away Mom worked three jobs to keep a roof over our heads and food in our stomach. About three years ago, she met Evan, fell in love and got married. Evan had a daughter, two years younger than me named Zoey. While I loved Evan, Zoey and I did not become close. Evan was a successful business man and Zoey got everything she wanted, many times after throwing a tantrum. After seeing Mom work so hard, Evan told Mom he just wanted to take care of her and Mom trusted him. I did too since he never made me doubt anything about who he really was. I often wondered if Zoey was Evan’s biological daughter. They are so different. You’ll see what I mean if you watch my story till the end.

Everyone’s life changed one afternoon when Evan came home and told us that he lost his job. Evans explained that the CEO of the company was arrested today for embezzlement.

"We have to make a few changes until I get back on my feet. I do have some savings so that should be able to keep us until I get a new job. I'm sure I'll get another job in no time." Evan smiled reassuringly.

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. By the time he did find a job, a first level job at an office, most of his savings was depleted and we couldn't live the lavish lifestyle we were accustomed to.
