You have about 9 relationships, minus one mother. If she were introduced, then 16. This may get very confusing, unless you name each one.
The rest seems fine. A nice piece, you really focus on one crucial element, your opening scene, I can visualize a stage curtain opening you, the actress, addressing your audience, setting the scene. I’d like to take one line in your story and show other readers a great example of one Ficly goal, simplification and focus. How can one single change, one character, shine a whole new perspective on your stage and mood?
Think of these options:
Well – I know the real story.
We…I know the real story.
Well, I know the real story.
Well I know the real story.
All different perspectives, really requiring an entire change of mental props. Sweet!
