Earl

(Gender of your choice) Your mother left your father for another man when you were two years old, taking you with her. He had a son—five years older than you. You grew up together, arguing, complaining about each other. Your parents just said, "Children, it'll pass when you grow up." But it never did.

Now you're 19. You're still competing with him and hate each other. Your parents went on vacation somewhere for a month, leaving you together. You were still furious and arguing. But lately, you've been feeling unwell: constantly weak. Finally, you went to the hospital, had all sorts of tests, and were diagnosed with cancer (the exact type is up to you). You were told it was quite serious and if you didn't start treatment, you'd have no more than eighteen months to live.

You walked home in silence, wondering what had happened and how it had even happened. You walked into the house, went into the living room, and simply collapsed on the couch. You don't know how long you lay there, but then Earl came home. He started teasing you again, but you didn't react. He didn't understand what was wrong with you.

This lasted for three days. You were simply silent and barely reacted, trying to process what you had learned. And he was beside himself, thinking it was because of him.

Today, he was simply lying on the couch in the living room when you, again, without even looking where you were lying down, simply lay down next to him. He hugged you. You buried your face in him. For the first time in your lives, there was silence between you, not arguments and shouting.
