GOLDEN- Shaun Reynolds/RollUpHills

they are so many trees around there is a little park in the center of this place, at the very end I can see a lake and I start walking towards it looks too beautiful the sun is reflected in the water, the sound of birds make it so peaceful, I hear footsteps closer and closer. I just turn around if someone is coming I will see them in the water anyway, and grab a little stick and start to cut it in little pieces on the grass where I'm sitting.

"Ami says you're already late that she let you out for only an hour" and like that, I turn around and I can see my brother.

"LEON" I jump up to my feet and hug him very tight I'm almost his height, he smiles at me showing his dimples they are closer to his lips, I haven't seen a lot of people with that kind of dimples in my family only him and I have those, his smile is so beautiful.

"Yes is Leon, sis lets go home before mom get mad at both of us you know how she freaks out all the time" he is right mom is mad at me almost all the time she always says that I never do what I'm told but my brother is always with me, he helps finish with whatever my mom says, he always protect me, I'm his favorite sister even mom says that.

"Okay" reach for his guitar and his little journal, he turns to me and smiles again look right into my eyes, his eyes are green with a hint of blue just like mine. we share things physically, we have the light brown skin, dimples closer to our lips, same shade of eyes the only difference between us is our hair color his is light brown with a hint of blond and mine is black almost blue, I bet if I was a boy I could of look just like him, but a little rebel, he is a good guy almost everybody says that they wish their kid were just like him, I'm the opposite of him my temper is very bad, once I got in a fight with a girl just because she said that I was going to fail my school year because I rarely do my homework and when I do, I do it in the last minute, I know it wasn't something someone should get offended but I already was in a bad mood so I just got all that out with her.

"You were writing a song, right?" that is one of his grates hobbies he writes a lot of poetry, phrases, shorts, stories, but most of the time songs. Girls at his school are asking him to help them write a script or something similar to their literature or electives. he is too nice, oh I forgot he also teaches me.

"Yes, remember the one you help me with," and I nod remembering that sometimes I help him finish some music things, all the time depends on my mood and the type of the songs he is writing"well I just finish it" he hands me his little journal so I can read his song and the accords but he also hands me a cassette.

Wait a minute this is weird, why is he handing me a cassette? when we have Iphones and, why do we look like the same age? when he is 6 years apart.

"Leon"

"Yes"

"Why we look as we are the same age when we are not?" I say while I open his journal.

"Because you grew up, but I didn't, remember" and as I look at my feet I see some blood in my shoes and blood between my legs and suddenly I turn around and watch my brother on the floor, blood around his head and his looking at me...

I quickly open my eyes, some tears in my cheeks, and I can feel like my fast heartbeats, fuck it was all a dream but this one was different in this one I hugged him we had a conversation this wasn't a nightmare this one was beautiful I saw his shiny eyes full of life just like they used to be and know I stand up and go to the bathroom as fast as I can so Anna doesn't see me crying because I'm this close to doing it.
