'What a night!' Sam collapses on her bed beside mine whilst laughing. She goes on her phone as I look out the window to see the moon glaring at me. Why is it doing that? I feel a pit in my stomach, that's odd, like a sharp knife sticking inside.

'Why is your brother rude to me?' I ask timidly, I mean this is her older brother after all.

'Don't worry he is like that with everyone.' She barely looks up from her phone when she says it like she has said it a million times before. That was way too natural.

'Why though?' I inquire further. You are really stepping a line here Evelyn. Where has this new found confidence come from. 

'I don't know. He has always just been like that since I can remember.' Finally she notices my disappointed face. 'Believe me you do not want to go anywhere near my brother so if you do I will break your skull.' 

Well that's me told. I wonder why she thinks I would go near him is beyond me. I go into my closet and get changed into some pajamas. I come back out to see Sam recording a video.

'Thank you guys so much for 25000 followers on Instagram. Let's try to get to 30000 so if you aren't following me, what are you waiting for? Click below.' Her smile drops as soon as she stops recording.

'Good night Sam,' She smiles at me and goes into her closet. I get into my rose patterned duvet and try to drift off to the sound of clothes' hangers being moved around furiously.
