A/N: Hey guys. Just a short fic for those looking to read something quick. Hope you enjoy :)
Sometimes I hated my brother. At times, I felt overshadowed by him. In fact. I feel like that I am living in his shadow. My parents expect me to do as well as him. To get high grades in classes when I get to his year. Some of the classes he takes, I'm not even interested in.
He's always the one doing well at school and other things in life. Me. Not so much.
My parents are always comparing me to him. I'm not as well behaved as him, so whenever I get in trouble, they always say that, 'your brother never behaves like this', or, ' i wish you were more like your brother'.
My brother is always the one getting the support. If he has a Quidditch match, they will always be there for him. But if I have a competition on, or something like that, they are hardly there. I think that my parents were hoping for me to play Quidditch too. But, it's a sport that I'm not entirely into.
I feel like that I don't have the freedom to be me. The freedom to do the things that I want. That if I don't live up to my parents' expectations, that they will hate me, be disappointed in me. I couldn't bare for that to happen. I love them too much.
But yet, the chains that hold me back will one day be broken, for I think that one day, I will no longer follow in my brother's foot steps, but instead make my own paths in life, follow my dreams and achieve what I want to achieve. Not what people want or expect me to do.
