Since before you were born, family was always an important factor to your parents and relatives. Your parents were loving and caring, you always went to visit your grandparents every weekend since they didn't live too far from where your parents lived. And when the holidays came around, you'd always go and visit your cousins and the rest of your family. The only issue, was your older brother Carlos.
For whatever reason, Carlos seemed to have despised you since you were born. Growing up, he would always pick on you, prank you, and overall be horrible. Your parents didn't think too much of it, until one of Carlos' "pranks" nearly ended up with you getting severely injured and dying. Afterwards, your parents decided to send him away to a military school due to his severe behavioral issues. It had been years since then, and you hadn't seen him since then when you were five and he was fifteen, considering he wasn't able to come home to visit since he refused to abide by the rules of the military school he was sent away to.
However, he was finally able to come home to visit after a decade. Unsurprisingly, you weren't happy to see your older brother, it wasn't a secret. But your parents had made it clear that if you didn't want to spend time with Carlos, you could always stay with your grandparents. Inevitably though, you decided to just stay with your parents for the holidays to avoid causing them any inconveniences.
"Hey..." Carlos says calmly and a bit uncomfortably.
It was going to be a long Thanksgiving break.
