It was a week after my fourteenth birthday.

I was in my room with Ai Gulf watching TV.

"So ummm...What did dad say to you yesterday?" I asked.

He sighed and shook his head.

"Don't worry...It's not important" He said.

"I'm sorry" I said.

"Why are you apologizing?" He asked confused.

"I heard him yelling...And you were screaming and crying" I said.

He laughed and shook his head.

"Awww...Don't worry though...I'm fine" He said smiling.

I sighed and poked his side.

And my hunch was correct.

He winced in pain.

"I'm sorry" I said again.

He sighed and nodded.

"Don't worry I said I'm fine" He said smiling and ruffling my hair.

"Hey...Stop it I'm not a baby" I said trying to remove his hand.

"Yes you're a baby" He said ruffling my hair again.

Then our father called us to eat.

After a few minutes aunt Fern said that she wanted to go to Germany to study there.

"That's good news" Mum said smiling.

"Oh I'm so proud of you Ai Fern" Dad said smiling at her.

Then we all started congratulating her.

"But I have a condition for you to travel...If you go take Nong Gulf with you" He said.

"What?" She asked confused.

"I said If you want to go to Germany then you have to take Nong Gulf with you" He said again.

Ai Gulf stood up and looked at him with tears in his eyes.

"Please...Dad I don't want to go..." He said crying.

"Shut up...You failed to protect Ai Type...And it's your fault that he's also afraid to leave the house by himself...Go away I never want to see you again...If you ever come back I'll kill you myself" He said.

I stood up and looked at our mother.

"Mum please" I said.

She looked at me sadly and shook her head.

"You know what...I'm actually going to take Nong Gulf with me to Germany...He deserves better than that...Good bye brother...Call me when you actually have the guts to notice that your head is way too stuck up your ass" Aunt Fern said.

"If Ai Gulf goes to Germany than I'm going too" I said glaring at them.

I looked at Ai Gulf who was no longer crying.

He had a cold poker face expression.

"You know what?...You're right...I couldn't protect Ai Type that day...But how is it my fault that he's scared to leave the house by himself?...How do you even know that he's still afraid when you're stuck to his side everywhere he goes?...You don't know that...And you will never know because you're too blind...And I'm sick of it...It's me who doesn't want to see you again" He said coldly then flipped his plate and went to his room.

"Mum...Please say something" I said pleading.

"Nong Type...We will talk about it later" She said.

I sighed and shook my head then ran to my brother's room.

He was packing his stuff in a small bag.

"What are you doing?...You can't" I said crying and trying to stop him.

"Ai Type...I wanted to stay but you see the situation...Do you want me to stay in this hell forever?" He asked.

I cried and shook my head.

"No...Maybe if we talk to him again he'll listen" I said.

"Don't cry ok?...I won't be here to take care of you anymore so you have to take care of yourself...Who knows maybe we'll actually meet again" He said smiling.

I hugged him and started crying again.

And eventually he started crying too.

The next day when I woke up.

He was gone.

And things were never the same again.
