![]() The years will pass and they will get old, but Mikey will remain stuck at thirteen until the end of their days. His innocent wishes became harsh reality, Mikey will never grow up. That phrase became so repulsive and detestable and they wished they had never said, even in jest, that Mikey would never grow up. They knew that all the times they had said those words they were without any malice, but oh, how they regretted saying them right now. The day when their baby brother should be turning fourteen, getting closer and closer to the adult world, and they, like his older brothers, should be coddling him and begging him to stop growing up so fast. They wished they could lock themselves away again and avoid each other, at least on that day, to try to ignore the obvious pain that the date caused them. This day felt like the first ones after the tragic discovery, where no one was able to face or assimilate the situation. There were also other days where they didn't need that blow to be miserable, because the trauma and pain that the situation caused them was so unbearable that it was the only thing that was going through their minds. There were days when the pain seemed to be more bearable and they could even afford to laugh for a moment and feel like teenagers again for seconds, but that little ray of light went away as quickly as it came when the guilt hit hard and made them feel miserable. The instability of the duel made everything more complicated. It had become the companion who had held their hands and refused to let them go for a month now. Getting enough sleep had become a privilege that they could no longer enjoy, while being able to enjoy a family meal had become such a nostalgic and painful feeling that they avoided at all costs. The routine had become a heavy rock to carry and that increased in size every day, making the tightness in the chest and the fatigue even stronger. Today, for a whole month there had stopped being good days. Stats: Published: Updated: Words: 84,649 Chapters: 18/?
