hey siri play constellations by duster

DOES every dream have to have a meaning? you laid in bed along with chris. you tossed and turned softly, the nightmare you were having seemed to feel like an endless void, with no chance of escaping, you called out for help, but nothing. you've felt this before. as a kid, you always seemed to be want to be noticed, always having your grades as high as possible, doing the best in your sports, yet you always went unnoticed? why could they give the same amount of love, yea my brother was better at a lot of things but i'm still your daughter, right?

chris noticed your seem-less discomfort, your scrunched face, messed up hair, and your incoherent soft mumbles

"hey love can you wake up for me?" he whispered and shook your shoulder softly, you woke quickly

"you ok?" he said softly, all you could do was shake your head he embraced you into a hug. you cried softly

"hey hey, it's ok" he stroked hair, "do you wanna talk about it?" he spoke. honestly, no, but you needed it off your chest

you nodded, " i kept running around this room of people, asking- screaming for help, nothing. i felt invisible like i was a kid all over again. yes, chris had known about your childhood, yet not into detail he knew you felt alone and forgotten, you could never tell him the reason, until now

"when i was little i used to always try to one up my little brother, he was amazing at everything, school, sports, just being himself. once everyone started to notice he's "natural talents" it was sorta like i was forgotten, i used to push myself so hard, in school, sports, just anything to be noticed" you sniffled

"that dream felt like that all over again" you spoke softly

all he could he was hug you, "im sorry, i didn't know it was that bad"he said

the reason you didn't tell him, it because you were embarrassed, because whenever you told some they all said 'oh cmon it's your family they wouldn't do that' you were scared he said that

"it's not you me fault i didn't want you to know, i didn't know if you'd believe me" you said
embarrassed

there was a comforting silence, god how you loved the quiet, being alone. being isolated is all you did as a kid

"hey, look we can talked about it in the morning if you want" he said snapping you out of your trance

"i love you so much" he whispered as you fell asleep in his arms

you maybe have been alone as a kid but now you have him
