pregnancy, mentions of abortion tw: romi was unwanted from the very moment of her conception. her mother was on her way out of a relationship with someone who wasn't good for her mentally and emotionally when she found that that she was pregnant. instantly, she called the local clinic and booked an appointment without telling the father. firm on her decision, she showed up to the clinic only to be stopped by a group of people who managed to guilt her into considering her other options.
with every month that went on where she had to be with child, antonia dived further in misery. she was in a city on her own without a place to stay and when her friend's couches ran out, she relocated to a shelter. after watching many mother's with their children and the difficulties they lived with, it only reaffirmed that she was set on giving her kid something better: another family.
romi was a few days old when she was placed in the foster home that would go on to adopt her. a mixed family with enough children that silence came at a rare cost. with lack of discipline from her parents, romi often tried to put her foot down and parent her siblings due to craving some sort of stability around her. despite loving her family and its chaotic nature, she knew that she lacked something in her household.
at least it was what the therapist confirmed when she became an adult with anger issues. after so many people and partners telling her to speak to someone, she followed their advice and discovered enough about herself that she fired her therapist and walked away.
when a friend got engaged outside of high school, they booked a trip to vegas and celebrated as twent-one year olds would. it was on the last day there that she met a guy that made her extend her trip to spend with him. a few days later, they were married and high on love or lust - she still hasn't figured that one out.
the reality settled in when they had to leave and they annulled their marriage and went back to their own lives.
her first job was a personal assistant to a young designer who had no clue how to work social media. from then, she jumped from d lister to d lister until she found her current job.
not any bigger than previous ones apart from maybe being a c or b lister celebrity who constantly gets themself in trouble. the parents were the ones to hire her and ensure that they kept themself in a positive light after getting arrested a few too many times.
with her job going well for herself, she decided to ensure that her wealth was well death with by hiring a lawyer and after mentioning an annulled marriage, the news that it hadn't, in fact, been annulled hit her hard. with the news fresh in her mind, she took a flight to find the man she left behind a decade ago in order to give him the news.
