Chapter Four- Paper house

"Oh Sonj, Come on, let's get inside and I'll make us some tea" Tucker smiled.
"Okay.." I said grabbing Tucker by his hand and dragging him into my flat.
"Is green tea okay Sonj?" Tucker yelled from my kitchen.
"I swear you're turning into Tom with all the tea talk" I laughed "But yeah green tea's fine"
"Cool Cool, gimme like what 5 minutes?"
-Skip ahead 5-10 minutes because I'm lazy wouldn't know what to write-
"Here you go Sonj" Tucker said handing me a cup of tea.
"Thanks Tucker"
"For what Sonja?"
"For being there and making this long distance thing work, I know that you never wanted to be in one, I love you" I said gesturing to sit down
"Sonja, I'm the one that should be thanking you" Tucker said sitting down next to me. I cuddled into his chest.
"Why would you thank me? I didn't do anything.."
"To hell you didn't do anything! You survived, you pulled through all those shit days in you're foster home"

*Flashback to Sonja's childhood- Age 13

This was it.. This was the day that everything changed..

"SONJA?! ARE YOU HOME?" I heard my dad call.
"YES DADDY!" I shouted downstairs laughing "WANT ME TO COME DOWN?"
"YES PLEASE SONJ" My dad shouted again. I rushed down the stairs and saw my dad sitting on the couch very close to a woman that I had never seen before..
"Hey... I'm-" The woman cut me off.
"Sonja" She grumbled "I'm Jennifer." The woman mumbled.
I was stunned... "As in... Dad's cousin Jennifer? So Jennifer as in... my first cousin?" I asked.
"Yes but I'd prefer to be called Mom" She said, completely unaware of my latest struggle with even calling my real dad 'Dad'.
"I'm not calling you Mom" I snapped "I will call you Jennifer, or would you prefer cousin Jen..?" I snapped again
"THAT IS IT! GO TO YOUR ROOM, YOU DISRESPECTFUL LITTLE BRAT!" Cousin Jen screamed. I guess all the screaming must have caught my dad's attention because he came in with the most confused look on his face.
"Girls what's-" It was my turn to interrupt.
"NO! YOU KNOW WHAT! NO! MOM WOULDN'T MAKE ME GO THROUGH THIS! MOM WOULDN'T SCREAM AT ME FOR NO GOOD REASON! I WILL NEVER CALL YOU MOM, JENNIFER" I hissed her name "I WISH IT WAS YOU THAT TRIED TO KILL THEMSELVES!" I said pointing at Jennifer. I didn't want to give them anytime to reply to my comments, to be honest.. I regretted bringing mom into this, still to this day I regret it.

*Present day Canada*

"Sonja... Girl.. Please stop doing that" I heard as I snapped out of my daze
"What... Sorry? Stop doing what?"
"Sonj... I think you need help.. You keep zoning out and just start staring into space..."
"Tucker... I don't need help... it's just because it's near the anniversary of my mom's attempt.." I started crying.
