I was only two!

Why was Mummy screaming at me?

I was only walking to the kitchen!

She says it is all my fault.

What did that mean?

There was sharp sparkly things on the ground that Daddy had dropped.

I was sorry.

I tried telling her.

"I'm sowwy Mummy."

I don't think she heard me.

All of a sudden, I hear the front door open.

I've already taken my nap, so it must be Ken.

I missed him.

He told me he was my brother, but, again, i didnt know what that meant.

He told me he loved me.

I didnt know what that meant either, but he was always happy when I said it back.

My parents didnt say that. They never said 'I love you' and Ken treated me better than they did anyway.

Daddy hit me and it made me cry all the time.

When I cry around Ken, he helps me and asks me if I'm okay.

Daddy just laughs.

Mommy doesn't listen when I tell her.

I run to Ken, bumping into his leg as he comes out of nowhere.

I'm rubbing my eyes as I feel him pick me up, his kind voice is in my ear again as I lay down on his shoulder.

"Are you okay, George?"

"Ya"

"You'll be alright, let's go upstairs, yeah?" Ken begins walking towards his room, grabbing yogurt and my snippy cup on the way.

I can hear Mummy yelling still, but Ken covers my ears and i cant hear anymore.

He tells me it is magic.

I cant make my hands cover my ears.

Ken says I will be able to do magic one day, but that he doesn't want me to.

He says he wants to do the best magic of all and make it so I don't have to hear Mummy and Daddy yelling all the time.

And so I don't cry so much.

And so I'm not scared, too.

As I snuggle into Ken's bed, I feel myself laugh.

Ken is nice to me.

He says that he loves me.

He tells me he cares.

He watches my shows with me and covers me up.

Ken is my brother.
