Someone to Watch over Me
Do you ever feel invisible...well maybe not invisible, but just like people don't really care that your there. I do. Ever since my brother, Asher turned 3.
My twin brother Ryan and I were 5 when mom and dad brought Asher home from the maternity home and for the first 3 years everything was perfect, we were the typical happy family.
All that changed the evening of Asher's 3rd birthday, I always remember it so clearly; mom had just finished clearing up the kitchen from the party of three year olds that had been round that afternoon then she turned around and smiled at me while I sat at the kitchen table colouring, that was the last time I remember seeing a genuine smile on my mother's face, so happy and carefree, I grinned back and she kissed the top of my head before walking down the hallway to the living room where both of my brothers were. As I hopped of my chair to go and join everyone else I heard Asher cry out in pain, I stood in the entrance way to the living room and watched my mother pull up Asher's shirt to reveal a dark bruise the size of a dinner plate across his back. I looked up at my mom just in time to see her face screw up into what I could only assume was disbelief. We spent the rest of that night in the hospital waiting for a doctor to inform us of Asher's test results, Ryan sleeping on Dads lap, Asher whimpering on my mother's lap and me sitting between the two looking around trying to figure out what was going on.
That night I added a new word to my vocabulary:Leukaemia.
Ok guys,
Tell me what you think of this weird little trailer/preface thing and if you like it, I'll keep writing.
I haven't been updating much I know but it's only because I have exams coming up and some family trouble atm.
Be patient, I will upload eventually!
