Goodbye, my little brother

Now she is sitting on her bed crying. She never thought that it would come to this. She also never thought that she would cry for him. To her little brother. She doesn't care that her makeup is now ruined and how she looks now. Completely finished, the girl rubs her blonde hair. She misses him so terribly. In the beginning, she was not at all enthusiastic about Luke. Suddenly she was no longer alone and Emma didn't want that. Because suddenly her family has changed completely. And Luke was never easy. He was exhausting and played many pranks. But despite all his mistakes, he is very dear to Emma. He has become her little brother. And at some point there was a need to protect and want to protect him. It was her job as a big sister. He has become an important part of her family. He is one of them. And suddenly he's just gone. Torn out of her life from now on. And there remains a big hole that nobody can close. Emma tries to stop the tears, but it is hopeless. Many come too soon and she sobs. Her heart hurts so much. She wants him back. She wants her little brother back. But she knows that it will never happen again. Emma still remembers the moment when they found him. No matter what they tried, he never woke up. He fell asleep in the evening and just stopped breathing while sleeping. She simply cannot understand it. He was perfectly healthy. Nobody would have ever expected them to say goodbye to him so early. Because they have to. They have to let him go. It hurts so much. She wants to be able to hug him again. Emma never told him how important he was to her and she deeply regrets that. Because now it's too late. He is not here anymore. Emma sobs softly and lets her cloudy look wander through the room. He gets stuck on a family photo. There he smiles happily. He always was. Always happy and laughing. Emma stands up with shaky legs and takes it in her hand. She gently strokes his finger over him. "I love you. I love you so much," she breathes softly. Deep down, she hopes he'll hear her. The place where he is now. She carefully puts the picture aside and goes to the window. The sky is clear and bright stars shine towards her. He's up there somewhere. Emma wants to give up, just give up everything. She wants to go to him. But she can't. She owes him that. Emma can't give up. She has two other younger siblings that she needs during this difficult time. And Emma can't give up for them. She carefully puts her hand on the glass and looks up. Her heart hurts and she knows that it will get better but will never stop. "I love you so infinitely. Goodbye, little brother."
