Being the forgotten child is one of the worst things. You watch your parents love and care for your sibling, but you are forgotten about. It is horrible.

You know what else is horrible? Being forced travel the world with your brother, watching him have fun, meanwhile you are there, wishing you could be anywhere else.

Most people would love traveling the world. But me? I would much rather be at a gym, perfecting my routines, training all day, trying to the very best(like no one ever was). 

Living in the shadows of your brother, who seems to be better than you at almost everything is one of the worst things I have ever experienced. 

But, sometimes, even the worst things can end well.All Rights Reserved

Taken || Colby Brock by alendrags

It was my family vacation trip to Connecticut, what seemed like a good idea turned into a bad one. I went to Connecticut with my family but later ended up somewhere else in a dark room. How'd I get here? How will I get out? My whole life starts crumbling down in front of me without me being able to do anything. Will I survive or will I die trying? Who will I meet along the way? Will this ever end? ~Amber (Complete)

Letters to Nowhere #1 (Completed!) by juliecrossauthor

I've gotten used to the dead parents face. I've gotten used to living with my gymnastics coach. I've even adjusted to sharing a bathroom with his way-too-hot son. Dealing with boys is not something that's made it onto my list of experiences as of yet. But here I am, doing it. And something about Jordan--being around him, talking to him, thinking about him--makes me feel like I can finally breathe again. That's something I haven't been able to do lately. He knows what it feels like to be me right now. He knows what it's like to wonder--what now? I think about it constantly. I need answers. I need to know how to get through this. In the gym, if you're struggling, you train harder, you do drills and conditioning. How do I work hard at moving on? At being on my own? And what happens if I might be...maybe...probably falling for Jordan? I mean we live together now. That can't happen, can it? But kissing him...well, let's just say it's not an easy activity to forget.

Little Drummer Boy by tiger002

It's amazing how one little choice can change a life. Not just for you, but for everyone around you. I knew that our family welcoming in a foster child would change things, but I never imagined how much. I never imagined the burden my new brother carried. But he didn't have to carry that weight on his own any longer. Sometimes family wasn't linked by blood. Sometimes a brother comes when you least expect it. Sometimes adventure comes when you step out by faith. Sometimes family is all you have Sometimes love leads to pain. But I'd embrace the pain all over again for him. Because really, we were all that he had.

Dark Angel by Fandom-inator5000

{DISCONTINUED} PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT READ THIS ITS SO BAD Hi, I'm Hailey Harper and this is the story of my life, my messed up, turned upside down, about to burst like a shaken up soda bottle life. But first a little bit about who I am. I have five siblings, Ethen, the oldest(hate him) Amber second oldest(love her) Hunter, one of us triplets,-I'm the oldest-(have to love him) and Hazel, the other triplet(it's off and on with her). And of course Henry, (everyone loves him, what's not to love? His attitude for one) You see, my world isn't very different from yours. Aside from the superhuman abilities some people have. No one really knows where they come from. Scientists have written it off as an evolutionary skip (yes like from X-men.) Though many people say that they're a "gift from God." I, on the other hand, know where they really come from. Where? You may ask? Well, you'll have to follow my story to find out. Get out the tissues, this one, like all good superhero's story, is a tear dropper. On with the show I guess. I wrote this when I was an angsty 13 y/o. Please please please please please please please please please PLEASE don't read this.

The Imperfect Truth of Diamond Hearts {Kellin Quinn Sequel} by SlapYouIntoOblivion

Waking up and realizing you don't know the people surrounding you is one of the most hellish, nightmarish discoveries one can make. It is even worse when you realize that those people are the ones who are dearest to your heart. Watching as they tirelessly attend to you, making sure to repeat who they are to you each and every day. Kids, a husband, a family full of friends and love...to wake up one day and know that you cannot recognize their faces... They say that love can overcome any barrier, any obstacle, and can bring those that it wishes together. My question to life and love involves whether or not I'm worthy of reconciling with the life I had now, or letting go of everything I was supposed to once know.

My Choice (Third in the "Baby Brother Series) by Karyla

We didn't expect for the world to have changed so much in a year. We only lived in the US long enough for me to end up being my brother's guardian. Our parents died, and we both want to be stronger and better people. For some reason we never get that opportunity. Or do we?

What If? by WritingAnonymous1998

What if I could be free? What if I could be my own person? What if I could get out from behind my sister's shadow?

I have my own passions but my parents only see them as a distraction

The Forgotten Sister. by 1dharrylouisgirl

Pretend your invisible to everyone around you. How would you feel? Now pretend your invisible to the ones you love the most. That feeling would suck right? The sad thing is, I'm in that predicament right now. Yet I'm not invisible, I'm not missing from the world......... I'm just forgotten.
