" I got the job, I cannot believe it..." I said to my roommate and best friend Joy on a phone call, "That is just wonderful news!" Joy is always so chipper and positive, that is why they make such great friends and roommates. First Week Joy and Inara have been friends since Kindergarten. Their parents were all childhood friends too. They both lost their parents the same day at the same time. Their parents all went out on their weekly couples night date. Joy and I were both 17 years old at the time, about to turn 18 within 3 months me within a month. You would think becoming orphans for both of them was hard enough, but they both each had siblings. Joy's little sister, who is 5 years old, and me with two siblings, twins, a boy and a girl, both 3 yrs old. Luckily and Unluckily, all their parents had Custodial Accounts and Trust accounts for all their children, including life insurance themselves, but because all the beneficiaries died, the life insurance went into probate court because they were minors at the time. Some of the money saved can not be accessed till they are 18 years old for all the children; the rest of the money won't be accessible till 22 years old. So most of it was tied up and could not be accessed for some time. Fortunately, their parents' homes are paid off and only Joy and I were inheritors of the homes, so Joy and I plan to sell the smaller home and keep the bigger when we are 18 years old. Joy's parents had one car paid off and Joy had a Moped in her name and parents' names. It was on her parents' car insurance; mine had 2 minus 1 for the car crash their parents were in. The other car was paid off and works, and I was listed as a driver on the car's title, registration and insurance. Joy and I advised her parents' bills that they had died and shut it all off at their house. Second Week We both mourned as much as we could in the first week, but we both needed to get things in order, not just for us but for our siblings. It's the second week after losing our parents to a drunk driver. Both our siblings are confused and sad, not completely understanding. We both still went to high school, work and paid from our savings for child care for our siblings this week, plus all the food and, luckily, bills are not due yet here at my parents' home and its paper bills that come. We advised the social workers handling our cases that we want to take care of our siblings and adopt them legally. We have no other relatives alive. They said we both had to have jobs. We already have jobs though and we each have a little money saved, but because were minors, if we can not get car insurance in our names for the vehicles registered with our names and parents' names, we would have to take buses etc till we could get insurance in our names, we need to provide food and clothing and childcare for our siblings that we all could be on state government health insurance but once 18 years old her and I would both need to get our own Health insurance unless we still qualify for state. Joy and I only had part-time fast food jobs and this was our last year of high school. Third Week We both asked our high school if we could graduate early on the Monday beginning of the third week after and now have high school diplomas. We also both asked to be a full-time employee. Joy was a Barista they said yes, but sadly mine said they couldn't. I still kept the job and I started to apply for a full-time job. We had about a total of money in our hands $6,000 only going to last a little longer. The caseworkers were coming by twice a week, making sure the house was clean and there was enough food in the fridge and cabinets. They also kept in contact with the kids child care center cause they went to the same one to make sure the kids had no bruises and were clean and healthy looking. This week has been hard though I am remembering the last months they were with my siblings and I, We always had so much fun and positivity from our parents full of love and life but my Parents would want us to move on and not let this impact us negatively but positively. My birthday is coming up next Tuesday. I can not wait because it will help us greatly. I told Joy on Sunday I would like her and to relax I needed girl time. Sunday came. We had a great relaxing day and evening with our brothers and sisters and put them down and then we had a few hours to ourselves. We put on a romantic tear-jerker and talked about how the week was going and what we were feeling Joy seemed to handle it so well. I told her I'm not feeling so strong of mind right now. "Then cry your eyes out Inara Cry and Sob I am here". We hugged and sobbed together. "How are you able to always be so. Joyful?" Joy seemed to think for a moment. " I just know we will all come out of this OK, it will be hard and tough, but in the end we will all be happy. I just know it." she smiled so brightly I could not help believe it. It was helpful and gave me strength. Fourth Week The start of the week still trying to find another job that is full-time and pays well. My birthday is tomorrow I will finally we 18 years old, access some of the money available and put the deed to my Parents home in my name, bills in my name, car insurance in my name, and adopt my siblings officially if the caseworkers agree. Joy took all the kids to daycare. She does not get off till 5pm and today is another day off for me, so what to do? Binge some Anime and check email for responses on Applications. I made myself breakfast, sat on the couch in front of the TV, ate and watched Anime for a couple of hours. 'Ping, Pong, Ping' email notice. I checked my email. There is a response on being a maid full-time with great health insurance and excellent pay that I applied for. I responded immediately, "would love to interview any time today and tomorrow is fine." sent a reply. Gosh, this Anime is so good. Isekai is just an amazing plot sometimes. 'Ping, pong, Ping' email notice. " How about an interview today around 2pm?" " Sounds great I will be there. Can you send the address to me?" Oh my gosh, I finally got an interview and for such a great job. I waited and tried to keep watching the Anime, but I was too excited now, so I turned it off. 'Ping, pong, Ping' got the address it is not to far luckily. It is now 12pm and its 30 minutes away. I took a quick shower, do my black hair into a bun with some pieces of my hair hanging off the side of my face, did minimal make-up, then went to make lunch. I ate pretty quickly after texted Joy and told her I finally had an interview, what time and address and email address of the person who sent me the info and sent a copy of the email to her.
