"I have a brother," i say softly, as i look at the camera in my hand. I just clicked on recording. "His name is Riven. " i'm quiet for a moment.
"He is my best friend." I stare at the camera while lost in thought. My heart squeezes painfully when i think about him.
"My brother is the best brother I could have, but i won't ever admit that. And even though sometimes I wanted to hit him for being such an idiot, I still think he is the smartest person." I smile, a real smile cause he really is an idiot. But he's my idiot.
"Our parents...," i'm quiet thinking about a way to describe them. "They aren't the best. They try i guess," i want to tell the truth. About how awfull they are, how much i hate them. But i deep down i still love them. And i don't want to hurt them. Cause what if they find this camera? What if they watch the tapes? What if they watch this? And they hate me cause of the things i say? What if they watch this and i hurt there feelings? But what if they don't watch this? What if nobody watches this? What if this is the only time i can tell the truth? The only time i can be really honest about my feelings.
"Uhm so if you are my parents, then you should stop watching this," I say fast. I wet my dry lips with my tongue, in hope it helps them. But my throat is also dry so it isn't really helping.
"Riven always tried to protect me, i didn't realize he did that when i was younger. I just thought he was annoying. But he really protected me, and i've never realized he did that."

The screaming has begun again. Or rather it never stopped. One minute all 4 of us were sitting around the table eating dinner, and the next, Dad stands up and throws the bowl of lettuce on the floor. All the lettuce falls out and lies on the floor. Fortunately, it was a plastic bowl. Mom immediately stands up, with her cutlery still in her hands, and starts yelling at Dad.
I watch the scene in front of me with wide eyes and a chicken nugget half out of my mouth. Why do they always argue when I'm eating chicken nuggets?
Suddenly my plate with my chicken nuggets is pulled away from me. Surprised, I follow my moving plate and see that Riven is holding my plate. He looks at me with an evil grin.
"If you want them back you have to take them," and before I know it Riven is running up the stairs with my chicken nuggets. I quickly get up from my chair and start following him with my short legs.
"Give back you meanie!" Just as I yell that, I hear a lot of noise. I stand in the middle of the stairs and look sideways to the dining room. Everything that was on the dining table a moment ago is now all on the floor along with Mom. I immediately stop running and want to run to Mom to see if everything is okay when suddenly my piggytail is pulled. Immediately I turn my head to the side and Riven looks at me with his grin.
Even though his eyes don't look happy.
"Your chicken nuggets are getting cold!" Laughs Riven, before he starts walking up the stairs. Quickly I start up the stairs and follow him to his bedroom, forgetting the scene in the dining room.
I run into Riven's room, and he's sitting there on his bed with my chicken nugget in his mouth. I gasp in shock.
"I hate you! That's my chicken nugget!" I shout angrily at him. Riven laughs causing the chicken nugget to fall out of his mouth and fall into my plate onto my other chicken nuggets.
"You can have them," Riven grins at me. I pull up my nose and looks at my plate dirty.
"Ew no I don't want idiot bacteria,"

I didn't realize he was protecting me then. I didn't realize he was protecting me of my parents. Protecting me so i didn't get hurt.
I was five then, he was eight. He was eight and protecting his little sister from their parents. He didn't have to do that, but he did.
And i told him i hated him.
I look at the camera and smile.
"He's still annoying tho,"
