SYLUS: My Brother

My phone dinged, and I stood, snagging it from the charger on the desk. My stomach turned as I turned it over to see texts from the family group chat.   

Caden

Sylus, where have you been these days? 

Adam

Yeah, where have you been? You just ghosted us. If I recall correctly, you nearly died just a few weeks ago, and the man who did it is still out there, hiding so well it's hard for even Nova to track him down.  

Avi

Are you guys serious? 

Aiden 

Got something to add, Rapunzel?

 Avi 

Fuck off, Aiden. All of you are stupid. Like, common, this dude finally got the woman he likes to want to be with him, and you think he won't give himself a honeymoon? He's in love, idiots, and it's a phase that will never end.

sister-in-law deserves better.
