Chapter 7 - Adam's back story

When I was little it was me, mom, dad, and my older brother. I looked up to my brother a lot he was scared of nothing and he was such a kind soul to. My parents favored him over me and told me every day that I had to be just like him. And even though I loved and looked up to my brother, I didn't want to be like him he made me want to become even better then him. But I was always told that I had to be like him. I was never really close with my parents. My brother taught me lots of stuff about the world. And he told me that one day I would be even braver and kinder and smarter then my brother. That encouraged me to push on. Until the day of the accident, I was only 10 then and my brother died at the age of 20. He died of a car crash, that day was the worst day of my life. My idol, my encourager, my big brother was taken from me. That day I cried and cried and cried like I never did before. That night I had cried myself to sleep. But once I fell asleep, you know how they say that when your loved ones pass away they pick one person and go into there dreams to say goodbye. Well, that happened to me that night. My big brother Alex, came to me in my dreams. And told me, "just because I am gone does not mean you give up, I want you to surpass me become braver and smarter and a better person then I was, but make sure to also be your self never let anyone tell you otherwise, and I want you to know that I love you and I will miss you so much you meant the world to me, you were the only thing that kept me going in the worst of my days, so just know that I love you so much Adam I love you so much my little brother." Those are the words of encouragement and love that my brother left me with that night. And ever since then, my parents could not accept the fact that he was gone so they tried there hardest to turn me into him. And one day I just got really tired of it and left. I didn't want to be turned into someone that I wasn't. So I left and decided to finish high school and live by myself away from my parents. And a few months after that, I started my first day back at high school at the new school and that's where I met Kayden.
