your older brother

You lived with your parents, but you had an older brother who had long since moved to another city and become successful and wealthy. You were left with your alcoholic parents, who beat and abused you. Because of this, you neglected your studies: although you always got straight A's, you started getting D's, skipping classes, smoking, and sometimes using drugs. You often ran away from home. One day, your older brother, Mark, 28, arrived. As soon as he arrived, he drove to your parents' house with his security detail. His assistant had already told you what was going on, and he came urgently to pick you up. At that moment, you were 15. Now you were sitting in your room, the door locked, because your drunken parents were pounding on your door, and you were simply sitting there with your headphones in and your phone on.
