I was awakened by the blinding sun that glared at me. I wasn't intending on going to sleep.
Not long after I heard a faint knock against my door.
Ignored.
This time it was louder.
KNOCK KNOCK.
I rolled my eyes, sighed heavily and scrambled off of my bed. I practically ripped open the door before yelling my lungs out at the minuscule person that was my little brother.
"WHAT?!"
Sam jumped in fright at my shout. He held one of his arms aside with fear in his eyes. Hip bottom lip started to tremble and he looked around the ground, thinking of something to say to the pissed off animal that was me.
"I..." I started to speak to him in a quiet tone. "I-I didn't mean to...Sam, I-er, I was a little...mad. It wasn't you...it's just-"
I watched his eyes start to tear up in shame. I didn't hate my brother at all. In fact, I really did love him. He was nothing like my parents. Everything he did was for...me. No one ever did that for me.
I was so selfish to never fully appreciate that.
"Sam..." I began, before interrupting myself by kneeling down and tightly hugging him in apology.
"I'm sorry. I love you, Sam, OK? Never, ever forget that. Never think I don't. I know I act like a total bitch sometimes, but I really, really do love you."
I heard his tiny nose sniffle before giving me a little mumble of approval.
"I believe you," Sam muttered after gazing up at me. "I love you too, Vicki."
That was the first time I ever felt loved.
