Short Comings

Brea Hattori

        16 years old



        The house wasn't the same to her anymore, everyone of her 5 siblings done went away to college. Leaving 16 year old Brea Hattori to stay with her grandparents, who were very strict and religious. Being the last of the 5 really sucked for Brea, she wanted so badly to be a little older so she too could move out or at least go to college. But, that was not set to happen anytime soon.





        Without her loud and rough siblings in the house with her, everything is so quiet now. She could actually hear her own thoughts, which at times were creepy and unusual. Sometimes, she loved the peace and quiet, while other times it drove her crazy. During the nights was when it was the worst. She couldn't sleep, all she could do was think about her siblings and if they were even thinking about her. She would have liked to have thought so. Most times she would go to bed and wake up not having slept a lick. At one point, she didn't sleep for a whole week.





        Her siblings not being there for some reason was taking a serious toll on Brea. What was it that she missed? Their loud mouths? The fights they'd have every week? Or just someone to talk to? Whatever it was or is, Brea knew that she had to figure it out before her grandparents became more concerned.
