I like to imagine myself in my brothers situation.
Going to jail for something he didn't do and it scares me.
But nobody asked him to cover my ass I can cover my own ass.

"just go!" he screamed. I stumbled back breathing heavily and gulped as sirens wailed in the distance. I pleaded into my brothers eyes but he pleaded just as hard back as I grabbed my bag and ran in the other direction.
"hailey" my mother shook me harshly causing me to drop my iPhone face down on the tiles. I snapped my head up and made eye contact watching her face change expressions. "what do you want!? " I grabbed my phone off the floor and walked out of the kitchen.
Out of the house.
I did it again.
Ran away from my problems.
And again.
I found myself knocking at Myles door.
"did you zone out again? " he questions knowing my answer before the question left his mouth.
I sigh quietly and play with my jumper sleeves.
"I don't know how to talk to her anymore. It's like she knows what I did."
I stir the coffee gently watching the pattern change.
