Almost every night, I cry myself to sleep. 
Almost every day, I am reminded that I am not loved.
Almost everyday, I am made fun of.  
Almost everyday, I go through an emotional night mare.

I can't escape because my tormentors.  The very cause of my night mares, live under the same roof as I. 

They are my brothers and no matter how much I try to avoid them, I am always the target of their abuse. 


Family Again

I woke up the next morning happier than I've been in a while. I went down to make breakfast, but surprisingly, Jayden was in the kitchen. He helped me and we set the table. 


When we sat down to eat. I noticed that no one was talking. Normally the boys would be busy chattering, they were always close. 


"Would you stop, Brandon! " Jayden said suddenly. 


"Just because you've had a change of heart doesn't mean I have to change toward her. She's still that annoying little idiot she always was. Infact," he looked at me. " Why don't you just scram!." 


I instantly got up from the table and was getting ready to run to my room, but Jayden spoke up. 


"Lia. Don't go anywhere." He said firmly. "That's enough Brandon! Can't you see what you're doing to her? Would you be satisfied if she killed herself?"
