Really random lil drabbley thing … read it, review it =D – disclaimer: I don't own

'Stop with the act. Just drop it and be my brother again.'

He'd said it with tears glistening in those huge puppy dog eyes of his. And there are no words to describe how bad you wanted to drop it there and then. Drop the act and be his brother again. Anything to make him feel better. Anything for him. That used to be the principle by which you lived your life. Until that fateful day. When you'd done the most selfish thing you'd ever done in your entire existence. You'd put your own needs and desires before Sammy's. And that was unforgivable. But you'd made that decision, and you have to live with that. You grimace at the irony, because you won't have to live with the consequences of that decision. No. But he will. He is going to have to live through what you weren't strong enough to. What you weren't brave enough to. And it kills you. That you're leaving him – abandoning him – to cross that sea of loneliness-pain-grief-anger-fear-loss-guilt that you'd only dipped you toes into. All alone.

I know, it was crap, right? But review me and tell me that anyway, yeah? ;)
