I was about to walk out the door to go to school when my brother was standing at the door? My brother Jackson, was in college but why is he standing at my front door?

"Jackson?! Wha-What are you doing here!?" I ask confusedly out of my mind.

"I-I- Mom told me to come here I-I thought you knew," Jackson says also confused

"No, she never told me," I said trailing off to the couch anxiously as Jackson follows

"Where's dad?" Jackson asked looking around because he knew mom was at work

"What- Jack- how do you not know?"

Jackson nervously chuckled "know what (n/n)?"

"Dad-dad left..."

"What?!" he stood up looking down at me with tears in his eyes, but I could tell he tried to suck them back down.

I slowly took his hand as he slowly sat back down.

"Jack, how did mom not tell you?"

"I-I don't know"

"I use to hear them fight all the time. I couldn't deal with it anymore so I went to the neighbor's house and started spending the nights there." I paused as Jackson nodded for me to keep going.

"They never even noticed I was gone all those days. One night I was sneaking back home when... when I heard dad shouting that he was leaving and all I can remember was the shouting from mom and dad just getting louder and louder to where my ears started to ring like when I passed out that one day on the Linda and Heather set. And all I last heard was the door slam closed as everything went by so fast and quiet." I sighed ready to tell more but got cut off by Jackson.

"(y/n) I am so sorry an- wait, you-you fainted when was this?" Jackson asked started to get anxious.

"yeah, but that a whole other story. When dad left mom always drank and it was to where I had to stay up all night and wait for mom to get home so I would know she was safe"

Jackson sighed "why didn't you tell me any of this?"

"I- because, I just didn't want to annoy you with all my problems and whatnot. I figured it just wasn't worth telling"

"(n/n) I'm your brother and you can talk to me, it's okay." Jackson softly laughed.

"Well, what about you?" I asked

"What- what about me?"

"Why are you really here?" I asked tilting my head.

"I-I" Jackson couldn't get words out.

"Jackson, I know you know something"

"Fine, fine... We are, moving"

"What?!" Now I just shot up out of my sit as my eyes start to swell up just like Jackson's before.
