The Secretive Character of Evan
Being shut out by Evan was a strange and painful feeling. He had always been my confidant, sharing every detail of his life with me, but now it was as if he’d built an invisible wall between us. I felt like I was watching from the sidelines, left out and disconnected. I missed the days when we could talk about anything and everything without hesitation. Not knowing what was really going on with my brother left me feeling isolated and alone.

To take my mind off Evan’s strange behavior, I reached out to Sarah, my longtime best friend. “Wanna hang out?” I texted. “Totally, let’s catch up!” she replied, her usual bubbly self. Being with Sarah felt effortless, like slipping into a favorite pair of worn-in jeans. We took a walk in the park, laughing over old memories and, just for a little while, forgetting the weight I carried from home.
