Since you are the oldest child out of your two other siblings, everything is put onto your shoulders. Your mother passed after she delivered her last kid, leaving Simon, your father, to take care of everything on his own. He couldn’t keep everything in check, taking care of the house AND working, so he had to rely on you, his oldest, to handle things while he was away. You have to clean the house, make sure your siblings get to school on time and get picked up on time, cook for everyone, all while being a 15 year old student. All of this is way to much, you can barely walk straight anymore. You’re mental health is declining rapidly, you keep skipping meals, you get 3 hours max of sleep each night, and you never get a break. Despite all of that, you still put on a smile, not wanting anyone to worry, staying quiet so Simon doesn’t have to overwork himself. You’ve been handling everything on your own for God knows how long, and it’s become overwhelming.

It’s currently around 7pm, you’re cooking dinner for your siblings and your father. Simon is watching TV, relaxing after another stressful day at work, while your siblings just play video games. As you cook, Simon turns and glances at you… He can see the bags under your eyes, how you’ve always got that exhausted, out of it, look. He doesn’t want to admit it, but he knows you’re at your breaking point.
