Until I Break

"How long will you keep doing this?" I demanded, a sudden rage filling me.

His pale blue eyes looked up at me. I froze. I could see my brother in him. I could see my brother.

Harris was long gone after the sirens had gone off, which made sense. He didn't need more trouble.

So it was just us, alone in the alley.

For the first time I seemed to notice the way his brown hair curled around his ears. I noticed how he was wearing long sleeves, even though it was summer. I noticed how if you really looked at those pale blue eyes, you could see how they fought back tears.

"Until I break."
