Specially made letter.
Five years ago.

Ellaryn Atkinson woke up to her alarm badly startling the girl from her sleep, making her quickly reach the phone to shut it off.

At some point in her life; probably when she was still going to school on campus, Ellaryn developed a fear of any alarms going off. Maybe its the fear that she will have a shitty day or maybe the repetitiveness of her life that she's scared of. Either way; Ellaryn hates alarms with burning passion.

A knock suddenly sounded on the panic striken girl's door making her even agitated.

"Honey? Are you awake?" Her mum; Eleanor Atkinson ask through the girl's bedroom door.
"Uh...yeah, im up." She respond tiredly.
"Ok! I'm heading down stairs to make breakfast. be there in 30!" Eleanor says too enthusiastic for the morning, her voice lowering in volume as she walks away from the girl's door.

Ellaryn looked at her clock as it reads '9:30'.
'3 hours of sleep. Better than nothing i guess.' She thought to myself, sighing in disappointment.

The girl dragged herself out of her bed and headed towards her ensuite bathroom. After doing business with the toilet, She washed her hands, brushed her teeth and eventually brushed her hair as she thought she looked like walking witch who doesn't know what the fuck hair brushes are.

As Ellaryn opened her bedroom door, her beloved dog Tokyo; a Giant Schnauzer zooms towards her almost knocking her down to the floor.

"Tokyo! Good morning, tokito~" Ellaryn greeted as she lean down to hug her. Her tail expressing her excitement to see the girl she adored the most.
"Let's head down, yeah? Let's go!" Ellaryn talks to her making her bark back and run down the stairs. She softly laughed at her, following her down the stairs.
"Hey honey, Foods ready. Is your brother awake yet?" Mum asks while she makes a plate for her daughter.

"I don't know, haven't seen him." Ellaryn responded as she gives Tokyo her food. "Did he even went home?" The younger girl wondered out loud. "What do you mean?" Her Mum suddenly turns to look at Ellaryn wanting her suspicion to be wrong about Ellaryn older brother sneaking out. Again.

"I heard his car at like 2am last night, i don't know." Ellaryn answers, not really caring while she takes her breakfast from her Mother, sitting down at the counter and started eating . "That kid is dead." Eleanor angerly mumbles, heading up stairs, her mood switching too fast for Ellaryn's liking making her grimace.

The front door suddenly opens and closes, revealing her brother; Owen  Atkinson – buttoning up his blouse as he enters the kitchen. "Mum's looking for you, your dead." Ellaryn warns him, ultimately scaring him. "Holy fuck." He curses. "Holy fuck indeed, brother." Ellaryn answers back sarcastically. 

"Owen?! is that you?!" They hear their Mum shout from the staircase. As she saw him she immediately headed towards him and slapped him hard enough to turn his head on the side, his cheek already turning red.

'Holy fuck.'

The younger girl stood up, picked up her now empty plate and put the plate in the sink as she listened to their mum scream at her only sibling.

'Poor him, i guess.'

"What the fuck is wrong with you, huh?! You know we have an meeting with important meeting early today and you decided to sneak away, get drunk and probably fuck some random chick?!" She shouts at him, fuming. Owen chuckles, turning his head to look at her. "It's whatever, their probably ganna all talk about is shit i don't care about, mum-" He gets cut off by their mum. "It's not fucking whatever, Owen! You know how your Father is with your grand parents and you also know how your Father feels about this alcohol addiction of yours."
