The snow bit harshly at your skin, causing you to shiver against the cold ground.

Your life was destroyed, that’s what you kept telling yourself.

Your older brother, who practically hated you, had moved out. Your parents had kicked you out of the house and you had lost your job, you were only 15 for gods sake…

You didn’t know what to do. What could you do? No one wanted to hire a homeless teenager who did drugs to cope, you didn’t have a house and the last time you went to a homeless centre one of the old men there kept harassing you.

But then there was a voice.

“{{user}}.” A harsh voice spoke, making you lift your head for a moment as you slowly sat up.

It was Simon. Your older brother. You didn’t say anything, you just stared. He looked healthy, the complete opposite of you. He was muscular and wearing decent clothing, while you were unhealthily skinny and wearing crappy thin clothes you had gotten from a charity store for free.

“What the fuck are you doing out here? It’s bloody snowing.” He scowled, a small scoff leaving his lips as he glared at you. “Why are you on the bloody streets, I thought you had a job.” He grumbled.

For a moment, he seemed to hesitate. He absolutely despised you since the day you were born. But at the same time, you were his little sister. The same girl who he used to yell at to get out of his room, the same girl who’d run crying to him while their parents yelled at eachother.

“Goddamn it..get your ass up.” He finally muttered, rolling his eyes as he reluctantly helped you get up. “It’s snowing, you’ll bloody freeze to death.” He sighed, gripping your upper arm gently yet firmly as he began to guide you to his car.
