"Please tell me you guys are fucking kidding me. This has to be some sort of sick joke because this is complete rubbish!"

What Nori thought was a joke unfortunately turned out to be the truth. Her parents were getting a divorce.
Granted the dinner table might not have been the most appropriate place to spill the beans, but both Robert and Elaine had decided that the news may have hurt less if they told her sooner rather than later.
To be frank, Nori was devastated. She closed herself away from everyone and everything; the last thing she wanted to do was socialize when it seemed as though her entire life was crumbling all around her.
Although she was old enough to realize the world was full of tragedies that were much more severe than her parents calling it quits and splitting up, at that moment, she kept telling herself that nobody else's pain held a flame to her own. Families had been falling apart left and right, but she never once imagined that her parents were going to go along for the ride.
Tears were met with even more tears when Robert eventually packed up and left home. Nori hadn't any clue how she was going to be able to handle living in London without him. But then again, the bubbly, yet rebellious teenager was willing and determined to try.

It did not take long for things to go back to normal in the weiss household. Laugh, once again, became second nature to them. And part of that reason was because of Elaine's new boyfriend.
His name was Tom. For the most part, and what Nori could tell, he treated her mother very well. Seeing her smile was the exact thing she needed to push herself in the right direction -- not to swell on the past and to only look toward the future.
Nori couldn't help but picture herself being a part of the perfect family the same day her mother and Tom exchanged their I do's.
Beyond her control, things changed drastically. And not for the better.
Disgusting. That was the onnly word Nori could think of when describing her mother's new husband. He scourned her day and night, and before long, Elaine decided to join the bandwagon. Once again, Nori felt betrayed. First, her father, and now this? She didn't want to think about it, but then again, the facts that were staring at her directly had not been that hard to decipher. All the signs were transparents as glass itself. Nori knew her mother was choosing Tom over her, her own flesh and blood.
She had never felt more alone than she did at that particular moment.

Nori arrived in New York on a wing and a prayer. She hadn't any plans whatsoever. The first [and only thing] she had really decided upon though was that she was going to tell her father everything-how her moother turned her out when she needed her the most; how she and Tom began to treat her as though she was the fungus beneath their toenails-and she could not help praying to God that he would listen.
Hearing the doorbell ring sent shivers up her spine and allowed a knot to grow in her stomach. Nori hadn't seen, let alone heard from, her father in a year, so it was safe to say her expectations were not as high as they should have been.
