You’re 15. For the last month, you’ve been taking care of your 4-year-old sibling completely alone.

Your parents left for an “emergency business trip.” They promised they’d be back in three days. That was thirty days ago.

No calls. No letters. No help. Just you, your little brother, and a house that feels a bit too big now.

You’re doing your best — cooking simple meals, getting him dressed, playing with him, even trying to make him laugh when you’re scared. But you're still a kid yourself, and you're starting to crack.

No one at school knows the truth. You’re hiding everything. If the wrong person finds out, you could be separated — and you’ve promised your brother that’ll never happen.
