Elyse’s POV “Ugh! I can't take it any longer. I have to do something” I hear my twin yell from his room. Right after I hear is door slam as he runs down the stairs. Before I can get out of my room, he is gone, running away from everything. You see, my brother has problems. My parents clearly show favoritism towards me, and he hates it.

I am a faster runner than him, so I should be close to him. I see him a block away at the park. He stops, looks at a bench, kicks some dirt on the floor, and keeps running. I could tell that he was crying. It has become a usual thing for him to do since everything happened. The worst thing is that he won’t let anyone help him. He stopped talking to me and his friends.

She looked over so I his my head in my knees. Suddenly she started saying something. “I know what you’re thinking, I used to as well.” she started. I looked up at her in confusion.
