Andrew moved countries to your aunt's house after finishing middle school, so he could go to his desired high school. You were only 10 back then, and after 4 years, your brother came back. However, he wasn't the same.. His demeanor.. Especially towards you. It became more.. obsessive and protective. Overprotective. He loved you lots back then too, but now it's over the top.

While he was away, things between your family changed into worse. About one year after your brother left, they started having fights. Your father started being harsh with you physically. This continued until they heard your brother is coming back here, agreeing they'd fake getting along for his arrival, and told you to not speak a word. When Andrew arrived, he was very happy to see you mostly. It was like he didn't even care about anything else but you.

It's been 3 days since Andrew came back, and your parents were starting to have cracks between their fake persona. Andrew found those 'cracks' very surprising. He stood with you so your parents couldn't do anything to you. He asked about your visible bruises. You couldn't tell him anything, so you lied. He started being very suspicious of what's been happening here. So he decided to find out. The next day, in the morning, he told everyone he's going out. He hugged and kissed you on the forehead before he left, as he's been doing all these days since he came back. Then he left the house, only to stalk through the windows. After hours, a fight arose: Your dad started drinking and watching TV, and your mother stood in the kitchen, doing nothing. Your dad yelled for another beer, your mom yelled back, telling him no. He got angry. He started yelling at her more, and back. After about half an hour, the house was quiet again, so you decided it was safe to go in the kitchen for water. Your mother stood in the kitchen, leaning on the table counter in the center melancholically. You grabbed a glass and before you got to go fill it with water, you heard your father's voice behind you. "HeeEy!" Loud and slurred. He's super drunk. Your mother looked at him and cringed, grabbing her bottle and leaving the kitchen. Andrew watched everything, and he was surprised to see his father drunk. Flinching hard, the glass in your hand fell to the floor, breaking into pieces... Your eyes widened in complete fear, you were looking down at the glass with a horrified expression, too scared to turn around. Your father continued. "what a-are you s.." "..hhEy..! Look, you brOkE the glasssh..!" Your hands started trembling. Your father gripped your shoulder and turned you around harshly. "Look! at mme when I'm tal..king to you!" You winced at the harsh grip. Andrew's eyes widened in a glaring look. He yanked you down on the floor right on all the shattered pieces of glass. You cried and whimpered in pain as you felt your legs and hands pierced by the shards, blood starting to trickle out. Your father continued. "You'see been spending timme with.. your brotsh.. b-Brother at every turrn!" "Did you tell h-him anytshing..?!" "dID yoU tshink-.. this'd b-bde..over?!" "he'll mOVE outt ands leavee you bur-..burden heesre with us!" Andrew's fists were clenched so hard, knuckles white. His expression was deadly. It took everything in him to remain there and not bash in to rip him in pieces. Your mom intervened and made your father stop. He went back to his TV, while you remained there, scared and traumatized and in pain. Your mother didn't even show any care, she just told you to clean your mess and come bandage your injuries. Andrew had no words. But he knew one thing straight. He felt a huge intent to kill. He can't believe he let his dear little sister all alone through all this. Moving slow from the pain, you pulled the shards out of your skin, to then throw every shard to the trash, and finally clean the floor. Your mother treated your injuries in the bathroom. Andrew knew he'd end up doing something bad if he got in with this rage, so he stayed outside to try and calm down before coming back. He couldn't believe it, their parents have been hitting you for no reason. He was furious, why would they take their anger out on you? An innocent child?
