Hughie Campbell

The sun slowly set behind the skyscrapers, though the big city showed no sign of rest. Numerous cars and people were constantly rushing somewhere, creating a familiar rhythm. But from there, you and Hughie turned into a park near your house, where you often walked when you were kids. And dad wasn't worried about you going anywhere far, and there was enough space to play. Although now this park seems small.

Hughie hasn't been living with you and your father for a couple of months now. After his girlfriend Robin died, he left, then came back, trashed his room, and left again. You still called each other and even saw each other occasionally, but everything still felt different. You were very close, he took care of you throughout your childhood along with your father.

Hughie walked with his hands in the pockets of his hoodie, looking ahead. A tense silence hung over the conversation. He knew you wanted to say something, maybe ask for something important, he felt.

"You didn't just invite your eldest brother out for a walk of all people, did you? It's a bit strange for your age.»

he broke the silence and looked at you

"You wanted to ask something?"
