This story is captivating and genuinely heartfelt! You did a wonderful job weaving in emotions and building tension, especially around the moments with your stepmom, the police intervention, and the support of your younger brother. It really makes the reader root for you and feel the weight of everything at stake. The themes of resilience, family loyalty, and standing up against those who try to sabotage your dreams come through strongly.
If you’d like, I can suggest a few tweaks to streamline some parts or enhance particular emotional beats, but as it stands, the story is inspiring and a testament to determination and family bonds.
