Annie and I watched as the man took our brother. We had just gotten him back and now he was gone again.
It had been a few days since that day and ever since, the house has been quiet. At dinner Caroline tried making Annie and I smile or laugh. We did smile, but it was usually faked.
Sean was the best brother to us two. He always was there for us. When we fell down, didn't feel good...Sean was always there.
When those people came, they took everything away from me. From everyone else at the village.
Annie and I ran and we hid when we heard people coming. At night I would always be up late. Watching the stars above and wondering why...?
Why did this all happen?

"Lily do you want to come play cards?" Caroline asked from the stairs. When I didn't answer, she sighed, "Come on sweetie, we can play spoons."
"No thanks Caroline." I call from upstairs. Even after a few days I was still upset and didn't even want to play my most favorite game ever.
Quietly I sat on my bed and faced the window. Not moving nor making a sound. The bed sunk next to me and I sighed.
"Please Lily, come down. I miss...him so much. It's hurts a lot, but please you can't live like this." Annie whispers.
"We just got him back." I say as my voice breaks.
"I know.." Annie mumbled and wrapped her arms around me. "Just think about it..." She got up and I watched her disappear down the steps.
I took a breathe and sung quietly....

Sometimes, you gotta be strong. For the ones you love.
No matter how hard it is...

I try, to be happy. Faking a smile doesn't help though.
You actually have to live it.

It hard, trying to be. Something you really aren't. No matter how many times....
You try, but don't succeed.

Sometimes, you gotta be strong. For the ones you love.
No matter how hard it is.

But sometimes, you just really can't. No matter what you do.

A smile can't always cure it.
A hug can't always bring warmth. No matter how many times.

You can't always fake it...you can't always fake it.

You gotta try. Be the best you can be. Fake it until you make it. And be strong....for you.

I took another breathe and looked up and out the window. The wind was blowing and leaves were slowly falling to the ground.
Fall was coming soon.
     I turned around and walked towards the steps. Slowly I made my way down and was met by my sister, Caroline and Emmett.
   They all looked at me with waiting eyes. Watching to see what I would do or say next. I sighed happily and sat down, grabbing the deck of cards. They still watched me, stunned almost.
     "What are you guys waiting for? Are you going to play or not?" I asked turning around. The seemed to be dragged out of their daze and took it as an opportunity to sit.
    "W-what are we going to play?" Emmett asked raising an eyebrow.
    I smiled, "Spoons." He nodded as I passed out the cards.
    Annie sat next to me and bumped my knee with hers. I glanced her way as she whispered to me.
"What changed your mind?"
      I shrugged, "We all have to try and move on from the pain."
