I stepped out of the shower and put my Legend of Smosh shirt on and some gray sweat pants. I went downstairs and saw Pen heading out the door. I didn't think, I just followed him.

We went to the same forest I just gone to, and gladly, it wasn't raining. I followed him and made sure I made no sound. He stopped so I did to.

I looked over and saw he was on the very edge of the mountain.

Wait, is he doing suicide? He started to stick one of his feet out and I yelled, "STOP!"

He did stop and turned around and looked straight into my eyes. All I could see was pain in his eyes. The same pain I had, the pain of being sick and tired of pretending to be who we aren't.

Yes, we are like that, but most of our laughs are fake. Most of our smiles were half-hearted.

We kept it all from everyone, even Tris, Nic, and Paul. We were afraid, afraid of being judged once more. We were tired, tired of being like this.

"Don't leave me..." He looked so lonely, I couldn't stand it. I walked over to him.

Rei started walking towards me. Rei, she's the only one who will be able to trust me. She's the only one who can understand. She's the one, the one and only older sister that I had.

She grabbed my arm, and I let her. She pulled me further away from the edge and hugged me. I put my hand on the back of her head, and I teared up. We weren't weak. We were just broken, because of them.

~ Flashback ~

I was playing Sonic with Rei. Then suddenly, the door slammed open. There came our father and our mother.

"Time to eat you brats!" Our mom yelled. We stood up and turned off everything. We went downstairs to the kitchen, and I smelled something nasty. What I smelled was uncooked chicken and cooked chicken. I bet they're giving us the uncooked one. Typical bitches.

Me and Rei walked over to the chairs and sat down. I looked at her and saw, her eyes were really dull and lifeless.

She was starving, and from what I can hear from our room, she'd throw up all the contents of the disgusting food. I really felt bad, but there's nothing we can do until we turn 18.

This isn't something we can live on, it's now survival.

~ End of Flashback ~

By the time I came out of my thoughts, Rei was cutting herself again.

"You told me you'd stop." She stopped for a bit, and then continued to do it again. I sighed and took the razor away from her and threw it. She still looks lifeless at some point.

"Don't worry, we have the others, they were bastards, but they're gone now. They can't harm us anymore."

She nodded weakly and gave me the smallest smile she ever gave. It was a mix of relief and hesitance, but mostly hesitance and pain.

It'll be okay, I know because I'm her little brother. And I may be younger than her, but sometimes I just have to be the older one.

Okay, wtf. This shit has become way too sad. And as you have realized, yes, I haven't been updating a lot because we have a stack of projects to do. And I also have other stuff to do. Fuck my life. Anyways, I'll see you guys later.

I didn't feel like editing this one so I just left it as it is, kinda.
