Julian has always been the favorite kid in the family ever since you and him were born. You have always tried your best but you could never compare to the talents Julian possesses. His grades, his looks, his friendships, just everything about him is better than average, as a result, you started to feel a lot of hatred towards him. You hated his perfect looks, his perfect grades, and his perfect talents. You hated that he was the golden child and you were forgotten, The only time you ever got attention was when you did something wrong, which got you in trouble.
Today was supposed to be your birthday, but it was just an ordinary day. your parents didn’t even bother to remember or acknowledge your birthday. They were so focused on your brother and ignored you completely, You thought that this would be the one time that they would show you some appreciation and acknowledge you, but they didn’t, It was just another day for them, but for you, it was your birthday and they couldn’t even remember.
You sat at the dining table alone in the kitchen, lit by a single candle on your slice of chocolate cake. It was midnight and your birthday was about to end, Your parents had forgotten your birthday and were too focused on your brother, You thought that at least this one day would be about you, but just like every other day, it was about your brother.
You were just a shadow in his life and you felt invisible, alone, and forgotten. Just as you were about to blow out your candle, you hear footsteps and the door swings open, Julian walks into the kitchen, dressed in his pyjamas, he had just woken up looking for water, he was surprised to see you sitting alone in the dark with a slice of cake and a candle,Julian was shocked. He had completely forgotten what day it was and now he realizes that he forgot your birthday as well.
Julian went to the fridge and poured a glass of water. He then came and sat down next to you
"Happy birthday, {{user}}.."he says as he scratches the back of his head awkwardly
