The sad new times

Seven months later

Sally's p.o.v

I did not know exactly when it started to happen, but it seemed slowly my brother Tony was becoming more distant by the week.

It started with small things like skipping breakfast or eating in his room alone, then it lead to him hanging out less and less.

It got to the point where he hardly acknowledge me in the same room.

The most confusing part was it happened sometime after my birthday, now seven months laters it was becoming even more unbearable, what more was that my heart was slowly breaking at the fact that my brother might not care about me anymore.

There were times where I tried to confront him but that lead to him bursting out in angry and tell me to get lost. Usually after that I would come to my room and cry myself out quietly.

Loneliness became my company, I started to suggest in my grades, now that Tony ignored me.

The worst part was I had no idea why he just started to acting cold towards me.

What more was I started having nightmares of the most scariest monsters, each looking really, thirsty for my blood.

Then I started to see them down the house or across the street, I got so scared that I hardly left the house.

I wanted badly to talk about it to Tony but he just refuse to listen or talk to me.

I eventually told my teacher who took me to a doctor.

The doctor said I had schizophrenia, they gave me pills to take, but that just dulled my life and I started to feel depressed and emotional.

I wouldn't be surprised if I had depression, if I could feel surprise.

Three week after the doctors said I had schizophrenia they gave me depression pills.

I felt absolutely miserable.

Not to mention last week Tony used some of dads money to have people build his own workshop to keep me out.

But right now I need my older brother.

I knocked at the locked door, I did it every five minutes. After around 45 minutes he came out and yelled at me to get lost.

I ran to the pool, and I stayed there until it was time to eat.

I went to the kitchen and sat down after I got ready and ate some pasta the cook made when Tony walked in.

I couldn't help myself but I stiffen and sat up straighter. He took some pasta from the stove the cook left and sat across from me but refuses to look at me.

If someone tell me that that was how I was going to be treated a year ago, I would've laughed..... So would of Tony I thought bitterly.

Just thinking about it brings bittersweet thoughts.

He just sat there and keep on eating, I decided to talk.

But a glare from him told me differ.

After a couple of minutes of awkward silence, well from my part, he got up and put his dish in the sink before leaving.

After he left I started to feel depressed again, I did not feel hungry anymore.

As much as I hate to waste food I put the rest in the trash.

I went to my room and grabbed my dark blue leather jacket, pulling on the cuffs I went outside to go to the public park, of course it was dark but I didn't care. When I got there I realized I did not take my pills, I might see the fake things.
