When my mother got remarried I gained a new family.
A new big brother.
Two years ago a boy I didn't really like asked me out. I wasn't really proactive about dating and ran away from him. I'm not good with boys.
So when I got a big brother I was really not happy.
We'd live together for about half a year now, and all the time nobody realized my feelings.
I wasn't happy. This was a life I didn't choose.
My mother ignored my declining mood. She was enjoying her new husband. I hated everything.
Shy and introverted and gloomy.
Even though it should have been obvious I was unhappy, my mother went off on a week long honeymoon! It was just me and my brother.
I felt thrown away. Of course my mother was her own person, that's fair. I wish I could express myself.
What am I going to do this week... it's forever alone with this big brother...
My brother also had this routine. After school a cat would follow him.
I made excuses to get away from my brother when I could.
The cat would follow him around, and got sad when he left it alone.
But he would leave it alone as it wailed lonesomely.
I need to be more upfront about my feelings. I'm depressed all the time, even when things seem good.
It would be nice if I were more proactive. And if I could somehow be friends with this invading brother.
Me and the cat sat there, and it looked into my soul.
"I will grant your wish," the cat said in my mind.
Then it disappeared in a flash of light.
My week alone with my big brother took a completely unbelievable turn......
