“What is that supposed to mean?”

“Exactly how it sounds Spencer you’ve been ignoring me for two weeks now. When are you going to talk to me?”

“When I’m not busy.”

“You know what, I’m leaving if your just going to treat me like I don’t exist then I’m going.”

“You will be back you always come back.”

“Not this time.” I walk to my room and pack two big bags full of clothes and anything else I may need. Once I finish packing I leave without saying a word to Spencer, but I send a quick message to Jasper.

Thea- I just want to let you know I won’t be home when you get home. I’m leaving I can’t keep staying here when I’m being ignored. I feel like I’m a stranger in my own home so I’m leaving.

I head towards the apartment I had seen a few days ago for rent. This will be my new home.

Present Day

No matter how long I’ve been away from here it feels like I haven’t left, this time around I’m not going to leave even though I don’t really have a choice. I do plan on getting what I want and nobody’s going to stop me.

Chapter Three

Spencer

Walking into Jasper’s room he lets out a sigh as he runs his fingers through his hair he hasn’t seen me yet and I don’t like the look on his face.

“What’s wrong Jasp?” I only ever use that nickname when I’m worried about him. His head shoots up and his eyes show pain and I don’t like the look in them.

“Nothing everything is fine.” I walk over to him and sank to my knees grabbing his face in my hands.

“You know you can’t lie to me brother, what happened?” My father took Jasper in when he was four years old because his parents were murdered.

Twenty Three Years Ago

Walking downstairs I see my dad holding Jasper he was crying uncontrollably. I grab my dads hand.

“Why is Jasper crying Dad?” My father grabs my hand and walks us to the couch when he sits down Jasper buries his head into dad’s chest.

“Jasper saw his parents die Spencer he’s going to be your brother from today on and he’s going to need you Spencer to help him get through this hard time.”

“Okay Dad I understand. Jasper you can come with me.” I reach out my hand he didn’t take it right away, but when he did he got off dad’s lap and slowly walked with me.

“You can stay the night with me until dad gets your room ready.” Jasper nods his head. When we get to my room I took him straight to bed he must be tired. Jasper looks scared and I don’t like it. I pull him into my arms and he relaxes a little.

“Don’t worry Jasper you're safe now.” After that he relaxes and we both fall asleep.

I spend the whole day with Jasper and dad. Dad didn’t take his eyes off us all day. Jasper is in his room but I’m still worried about him, seeing your parents die must been horrible I don’t know what I would do if I lost my dad. Drifting to sleep I feel my bed dip. I open my eyes to see Jasper crying he must’ve had a bad dream. I grab his hand pulling him to me and he places his head on my chest.

“Shhhh!!! It’s okay Jasper I got you, I promise I won't let anything happen to you, it will be me and you against the world.” I tell him and I meant it. I’m his older brother now and it’s going to be my job to take care of him.

“You promise?” he says with a shaky voice.

“Yes Jasper I promise.”

Present Day

“Tell your big brother what’s wrong?” he sighs.

“You do know your just one year older than me right?”
