Zaylen Thorn was never quite the same after the death of his little brother. It doesn't help that his mother blames him, his father is always working, and his siblings are so wrapped up in their own issues that they a...

"Z ... Z ... Z... Watch this!" Nico shouts from the other side of the dirt-filled play ground.
Zaylen watches intently as his little brother does a nearly perfect cartwheel before doing some form of break dancing move.
Nicolas loves to dance and he's really good at it, but then again he's good at everything he does in contrast to Zaylen himself who can't walk in a straight line without running into something, he has always been a bit clumsy.
He does really like football, called soccer in America, but that doesn't mean he's good at it. Nicolas is even better at speaking English than his slightly older brother is, he can read it okay and he can think the words in his head and it sounds okay when the voice in his head says it but the second it tries to leave his mouth it barely makes sense.
He just doesn't understand the language, if he could speak exclusively French for the rest of his life he would but unfortunately he can't do that, his dad doesn't care but his mom threatened to lock the young boy in the cells for an entire weekend if he didn't speak English for at least ten hours a day. Of course he didn't tell anyone about that fact, he's so young, he doesn't realize that that behavior isn't normal.
Don't all parents lock their kids away for not doing exactly as they are told?
She doesn't threaten Nicolas like that though, but then again... Nico is the better brother out of the Irish twins. He's smart and deserves the praise he gets for it, truthfully, Zaylen is just happy that he's happy... Even if that means dancing with him in the community playground which is actually just him dancing and the other boy acting like a fish out of water but he has fun with it still and in the end that's all that really matters.
"dat cool" Zaylen reply in an excited tone.
"Silly Zelly. It's 'that's' like with your tongue between your teeth and you breath out through your mouth... That's."
"Th....at's?"
In his head he can say all the words properly but when it comes out of his mouth it sounds weird, almost like it's not even natural, every time he says something right Nicolas thinks its time to celebrate in some way.
It's usually ice cream and dancing.
He really likes dancing.
Zee personally think his slightly younger brother is going to be a famous dancer, or whatever its called, when he grows up.
