You sat at the edge of the water line, wishing, and thinking, doing whatever you did at the peer. Your parents were fighting again and you missed your brother, ever sense her left to go touring with his band Pierce The Veil  they were big now, and you understood that he didn’t have much time on his hands now, but you still wish he would call you back more often.

“May I sit?” said a familiar voice you nodded with an added shrug. Whatever you could use the company.

“Bad day?” he asked you shrugged again and sighed “Yeah, my parents are fighting, and when things get bad, they like to take it out on me…” you gave a small smile “And I miss my brother, he left to go touring with his band, I miss him and I wish he would talk to me more; But I understand that he doesn’t have that much time anymore, but he understood me, and understood what goes on in the house.” You added before pulling your hood tighter around your ears.

“Well maybe, he’s going on vacation soon, and he misses you just as much as you miss him, maybe he’s worried about you, and worries about you every day; to where not one day goes by that you don’t cross his mind. I mean you never know…”  He trailed off and you smiled to yourself and now that you think about it he started sounding more and more like your brother. You needed to see who this really was..

You stared wide eyed at the face that you turned to, Vic smiled. “Maybe He feels really bad for leaving you and knowing that he left you like that, maybe he wants to make it better.” His words were muffled by your hair because you hugged him before he even started talking again. “I missed you Vic… This place isn’t the same without you.” You buried your face in his chest and smiled.

“What’s going on at home?” He asked after you got after the shock that your brother was right in front of you. “Um just the normal stuff only now instead of separating everything between the two of us; It’s all on me… I mean its whatever.” You sighed and looked at him, giving him a small smile.

Things got quiet for a little bit, Vic was thinking and you could tell by the way that he was looking ahead. “If you want, you could stay with me and the band. I know they won’t mind I talk about you endlessly so I know for sure they won’t. Then when we go on tour, you can come with us I’ll let you drop out of school and finish it on the computer; But you got to get your high school degree. I don’t care about anything but that.” He looked at you and sad, you looked back at him, meeting his eyes to make sure he was being serious; He was so you nodded. “I would love to do that, but what about mom and dad?” You said as you looked back down, they might do one of two things: Flip shit, or not give two shits. “What do they matter? Just come stay with us and we can get you close some other time. For now though. Mine is yours, just like it has always been.” He smiled and pulled you into a hug. “It’s all going to be okay..” your brother whispered.
