I groaned as I was yet again woken by the sound of my phone, I picked it up and noticed it was a message from my brother? which was weird because he left home without a word and didn't even contact me, it was like a stab to my back especially since we were like best friends and now three years later in the middle of the night he messaged me, I felt relieved, sad and angry at the same time at him because he was the only one I had besides my best friends since mom was always at work and dad left but I pushed those feelings aside and read his message which said meet it at our old spot I thought about it before I decided to go. I quickly put on a hoodie over my singlet and leggings before leaving to go to our spot, it wasn't much just an old abandon building that has graffiti in every room but it was beautiful me and Ryan found it when our dad left years ago and made it our spot.

I stopped outside the building and turned off the engine of my car sighing at the thought of what he could possibly want after he abandoned me I stepped out of the car and started walking towards the building when several gunshots were heard causing me to stop in my tracks then a figure came running towards me who I soon recognize as Ryan my brother he continued running pulling me along with him back into my car telling me to drive quickly I didn't even bother to argue sensing the seriousness in his voice.

I quickly drove back home and stopped in the garage resting my head against the wheel, my heart pounding in my chest, when i calmed down I look up at my brother who was staring out of the window, after what felt like ten years of silence ryan finally turned around and face me he opened his mouth to speak but closed it back I waited patiently for him to start and so he began telling me:

"Before you start i can explain I left because I got into some trouble and I didn't want for you to get involved and that's why I didn't tell you anything when I left because if they found out they would've come after you and I would never be able to live with myself if anything happened to you." he said then stopped as if he was debating with himself whether to tell me or not.

"What kind of trouble?" I asked, it's a question that's been on my mind since he started, probably guessing i was going to ask that he sighed before answering me " when dad left some people came to me... They told me that they killed him then they explained to me why they killed him which was because he found out something they didn't want him to and he was going to turn them in so that's why, they told me they were going to take you but I told them to take me instead while I was with them I worked for them until I found out they still wanted to come after you, so I wanted out but they didn't want that so I shot Greyson the head of the gang so he's dead.. So am back." He smiled tired. It felt like there was something he didn't tell me but I didn't push him anymore I was just glad he's back.

I hugged him I honestly missed doing this a silent tear fell from my eye I released him before opening my door to leave him doing the same "so mom still extra busy?" he asked as I opened the door i responded with nod. He went up to his old room, we didn't change a single thing in it. I left him and went to my bed remembering about the time and about having school tomorrow that I was totally dreading, huh Ill just probably not go was my last thought before darkness took me over.
