Simon left for the military and didn't plan on coming back.

Even though he was leaving you, his little brother, behind.

You had to constantly deal with your abusive father. Your eldest brother Tommy falling into addiction. Following money troubles.

But you'd resorted to calling him.

"Hello?" he said through the phone.
