John: please tell me i'm not going to be an uncle. i'm too young for that

[Once he was finished, John walked to his room and quickly dressed only to hear someone moving around in the kitchen. It was unfamiliar movements and he narrowed his eyes, slowly moving towards the room]

That wasn’t going to happen. Life didn’t work that way.

Of all of John’s fondest memories, they go back to when he was younger and involving Thomas. The one that sticks out the most to him is when John was about six or seven and they were at their parents lake house in Washington. John, like most times, were following Thomas around and doing whatever he did whether it be fishing, swimming, riding on the jet skii’s (even if he was too little). It was a time where John worshipped the ground Thomas walked and Thomas was always there. It was a time that John would always remember.

First day of school is an interesting day for John. When he was younger, he’d been eager to see if others actually paid attention to him or if they just went on their merry way. For year after year, he’d always been there and soon the first day of school was just another day for the youngest Greenberg. It didn’t have the same excitement as it once had. With Thomas no longer in school, John didn’t have anyone to talk to. There wasn’t someone that came over to him at lunch and ask how his day was. Now, John just treats the first day of school like any other day.

Lacrosse was one of the sports that John picked up for two reasons: everyone else played and his brother played as well. When he was younger, John wanted to be just like his brother, he looked up to Thomas so hard. Now though, lacrosse is a passion of John’s. He loves the sport and now that he has the bite, John’s been promised a starting position next year and he couldn’t be more excited. It’s something he’s always wanted because maybe people will pay attention to him now and actually see him as the person that he is.
