Six years later, I was a perfectly adjusted teenager with friends and a safe home, despite the fact I had lost three fourths of my family. Hayden was the only one that stayed after Lucca and my dad died. My mom left me not even a week after they died. I never really understood why she left, but after a while I was glad that she did. I was better off living with just Hayden. He loved me, even if I was never really close with him. We were born seven years apart, so we didn't really have much to bond over. My other brother -- Lucca -- and I were a different story, however. Lucca was only four years apart and we were close. He would defend me from bullies, and when Mom and Dad fought, he would let me watch TV with him in his room so I couldn't hear their

Being separated from my one and only sibling made my heart crackle and shatter into small pieces. Younger or older siblings just seem to always fuss and fight over everything. All we ever said was get away, leave me alone, shut up, and pinch or hit each other. Yeah we would laugh and joke around here and there but, when you are together all the time it is more fight. A dramatic change happened and my brother decided to leave and of course I put up a strong front because it was not going to affect me in any way. It was a long journey across several stats and a year before it happened, but deep down I knew it was going to happen.

Everything was about to change, we wouldn’t order take-out on Sundays, it was a big deal, I was losing my best friend, the only father figure I have ever had so far. I watched him taking all of his stuff out of the apartment, I was getting more and more mad. Wasn’t our beautiful relationship enough to make him stay? I even blame myself I thought I had done something wrong, maybe wearing his clothes and leaving them all messy, I apologize and swear not to do it again, but it didn’t matter the decision was already made.

It was already near the end of August yet the summer heat seemed to be lingering longer than usual.

He was never made for hot weather like these but then again he was neither made for the cold as well. So the only thing he could do was sighing at the misfortune of his body’s toleration with the temperature of his surroundings. He was about to pull out his phone to check the time for the nth time when a sudden hand gripped his shoulder, jolting him in the surprise. A low chuckle left from the lips of the intruder and he could feel the butterflies in his stomach flutter about. Frowning, he turned to his head to the other. “You’re late!” Tyler whined, pout replacing the former frown. The Black-haired laughed, plopping down on the empty space beside the smaller lad. “I’m sorry, the lecturer held us back for a bit to discuss an assignment.” His hand reached into his pocket and pull out a chocolate bar, dangling it in front of Tyler’s face. “Take it and wipe that ugly look on your face.

My youngest memories are of Patrick and I running around in our backyard laughing. As he grew older, I began to look up to him. He was everything I aspired to be: intelligent, passionate, and athletic. Patrick always seemed to know what he wanted in life, and I admired how he chased down his goals.

I have my big brother to thank for finding the strength to persevere through my struggles and overcoming my obstacles.
