Short Story guys!! Comment the lesson you got from it!

Nightime is the time for reflection. That's what I do. I reflect on my brother, Charlie. I reflect on what I do to him. My mother always says, "Liz, stop hurting Charlie!" but it's not intentional. When I stare at the stars, I see his perfection. My lack of it. I should see stars... but I can't.

I'm the bully. the one everyone hates. Maybe that's why I still do it. I lay here, staring up. I hear his footsteps before I see him. Charlie. He lays down beside me and brushes hair from my eyes.

"Elizabeth, no matter how you feel or act, I love you. Never forget it."

See? Perfect. I frown slightly, but he doesn't notice. Mother doesn't care for either of us, father's dead. He's all I have left.

"Charlie..."
"You don't need to say anything. I love you anyways."
"Thank you."

He smiles.

"Of course. God forgives too."

God. I know of him. I don't know him. I should. I know. Charlie knows him. Maybe, I could be perfect too.
