You stare into the lifeless eyes that once were your brother. A sob escapes your lips, and they grow louder and louder until your voice morphed into a screamed. And you kept screaming until your throat burns with searing pain. None of the neighbors could hear you, the closest was over a mile away. 

 

You kneel next to your dead brother's body and cradle his head in your lap. 

 

"No, no, no..." you whisper. 

 

Your hand brushes his blond hair back from his eyes and close his eye lids. 

 

You try to swallow but your mouth is too dry. 

 

And so you sit there, and cry. You sit in the middle of the road, part of you hoping another car would come and take away the pain. 

 

After what seems like multiple lifetimes, you start to think around the almost unbearable pain. Help, you need help. 

 

You wobbly get to your feet and run towards the house, your body seems to be fighting you and so you fall. On the ground, you sigh, letting all of the air out of your lungs before getting up and going in the house. You find your phone up in your room.
