Dear Sirius,

Ever since I was young, you've taught me that in order to be strong, one must be brave. Long ago, before things got so bad, I remember you smiling down at me. Telling me that everything was going to be okay. That as long as we were strong and stuck together, we would get through whatever struggles we came across.

Years have passed since then, and although we are far from close, I am still watching. I'm always watching. I look at your face, filled with disgust as you glare down at me.

Me, and my new friends. You, with your new friends. Times have changed, but still I watch.

And I've noticed this: you have kept your word. You are brave, and you are strong. Everywhere you go you carry a powerful aura, a sense of confidence. But, I see further than that.

I see your nervous eyes, your restlessness. I see you always on the lookout for a threat. I see your sadness. I see your pain.

I see your wounds. I may be arrogant but I'm not ignorant. I hear you at home, crying every night. I hear Mum and Dad, and I know
. I know exactly what goes on.

I see your scars. Long sleeves will not protect you forever. I see you tense as James brushes your arm unknowingly. I see it all.

And I want you to know, things between us can never go back. We can never be the same carefree young brothers we used to be. But it's flesh and blood. And I'm sorry.

A/N: Hey everyone

Sorry that I keep starting new fics but never really continuing with them, but I'm going to try and keep them up. This is a oneshot unless you guys really want it to continue...

Thanks for the support, please r&r!
