I hope you like it, this is my first story and is probably not very good.

I'm open to opinions, they help.

thnx

I watched him sleeping peacefully from the doorway. As much as it would pain me to leave, I was ready to go. He was my little brother and if there was anyone affected the most by Mum and Dad's death, it was him. When Elise moved away to get married, I was so angry with her. She was meant to be the oldest, the one responsible, and she left us at the time when we needed her most.

I turned to go but took one last look. I at least owed him a note didn't I? I took a piece of not pad paper and started to write.

To my little brother,

I love you more than you could ever imagine but it is time for me to leave.

I am leaving for reasons I can not tell you.

Do not come and look for me, I will find you again some day.

Love you

Louise

I placed the note on his alarm clock and left.

I took the stairs 2 at a time, trying not to make a noise. When I reached the kitchen, I wrote a second note to my uncle, me and Ben's legal guardian since the car crash.

I mostly repeated what I had said on Ben's note and how good he had been to both of us.

I turned, grabbed my bag and without a last look. I was gone.
