I was sweating.

I looked at the clock and it was only 3 am.

I didn't want to fall back asleep.

I sat up and hugged my knee and cried.

Yesterday was your birthday..

And today is my birthday...

I quivered my lips.

"Happy birthday! You are officially a one year old!" My brother exclaims with a party hat on him.

I looked around and didn't see papa or mama.

"Baby it's okay they are a bit busy but more cake for us!" My brother says holding a small slice of cake on a plate.

"bubbie" I said flapping my arms.

"You're so cute" he says.

I giggled.

A decade and two years ago..

I rocked myself back and forth.

If I wasn't born then maybe he would still be alive...

I cried harder.

I picked up my blankey and got off my bed.

I knew this was really childish to do..

But I really don't want to be alone.

I am officially a teenager now.

13 years old.

I already am regretting this.

I ran down the hallway.

I stopped at Vivian and Alex's room, just go in there for Vivian.

I knocked at the door.

It's 3:10 am... of course they aren't up.

I turned then I heard the door open.

"Olivia?" I heard Alex's voice say.

I breathed in and out.

I can't let him see me like this.

I used the hem of my sleeve and wiped my tears away.

"Is-Is Vivian awake..." I asked quietly turning to him but only staring at the ground.

"My wife isn't awake, but is there something you need?" He asked.

He wasn't comforting at all.

"No I'll go back to bed" I said and I held my blanket and I turned to walk down back to my room.

"Olivia" Alex's voice whispered.

I stopped and I turned back to him.

"would you like to sleep with us?" he asked.

I looked at him in the eyes.
