#Me trying so hard to ignore how the age gap between Aiden and Cara works

[womp-womp-waa]

They were having a family barbecue to celebrate Cara's birthday, her cousins were there. It was nice, she didn't usually get to see them as Ben moved out of their house when she was born. Her parents decided to never tell Cara why Ben was living with them anyways and her older brother... he doesn't like talking to her that much.

As much as she loved to have everyone around, she always could see Ben and Lily together. Laughing, smiling, enjoying their time together. She loved to see them happy, she loved them. But, why couldn't she have that? What did she do wrong to Aiden? Why must he always be so cold towards her?

She tried to learn lessons from Lily based on how she acted to get Aiden to like her. It didn't work. He still avoided her like the plauge. And that's when it hit her, Aiden did get along with Lily. But he was basically siblings with Ben. That was it! She had to learn from Ben, she just had to be more like Ben. So she changed whenever Aiden was around she would become quiet and started to write poetry like Ben did. Every single time she tried to show Aiden all he said was "That's great. Why don't you show mum?" Then dismissed her and returned back to his room, where he spent all of his time.

It made her heart ache whenever Lily and Ben spent their time together. It seems like they're just flaunting their amazing relationship just to mock her. Something to show her what her and Aiden could've been, but can't. For the simple reason that she was born and that was her mistake.

No matter how much her parents shower her in love and attention it didn't matter to her. All she wanted was the attention of her brother, if only for a second. That's all she wanted, can she please have that?
