My Brother's Love

I’ve been good. I’ve stayed away. But now I have no choice but to go back home... and God help me, once I do, I don’t know if I’ll be able to make myself walk away from him again.

JONAH: From the moment my parents first laid my baby brother in my arms, I was smitten. Caleb and I were inseparable all the way up until I left for college, and for the first couple of years I was away, I lived for the breaks when I could go home and see him again. But last year, everything changed. We got too close, and it was all my fault.

I’ve always taken care of him, protected him, but now the only way I know how to do that is to stay away… because the one I have to protect him from is myself.

I tried to be good. I always followed his lead. But last year, I got too needy. I got greedy. I asked for too much… and it pushed him away.

CALEB: When my parents tell me they don’t trust me to stay home alone for the holidays, I’m not sure what they think I’ll get up to, but I’m not that surprised. After all, it’s not like they really know me. A point they only prove when they tell me that my big brother is finally coming home and that he’ll be in charge, and they say it sternly, like they actually think I might argue.

They don’t realize that it’s all I’ve ever wanted. Both to see Jonah again, and yes--God yes--to have him be in charge. I’ll be so good this time. I promise. Because I don’t think I can stand it if he leaves me again.
