she could HEAR HER BROTHERS words so clearly in her mind, but she continued to see those horrendous images every single time she tried to close her eyes. her head rested against his chest as her arms wrapped around his middle weakly. every once in a while she had a nightmare but they were never this bad. she could typically handle them on her own but this one, this was one she couldn’t shake off. 

tears slipped down her cheeks and onto the cotton t shirt that her BROTHER WAS WEARING but that was the least of her concerns. once their parents died, it was just them and their sisters and they all watched out for one another; they were all they had left. she took a few shaking breaths to try and calm herself down ( but to no avail ) before she glanced up at him; the fear still evident in her eyes.
