This tale is about a brother and sister and the chain that held them together but ultimately teared them apart.

She was young when her younger brother set foot in the house. Oh how she detested him, couldn't stand his very presence. It was only for the summer sure but to be in a house and having to share your parents with someone you don’t even know? Like that would happen. She would do everything in her power to avoid her younger brother spending most of her times upstairs. It wasn't until one day when she was playing her video games she saw the screen split and another player enter her game. She looked to see her younger brother controller in hand. Giving the boy a smile she ruffled his hair and the two began to play.

Like that the chain was clamped onto their wrists with no key that could free either of them. They could go as far as they wanted but chose to stay by each other’s side.

Years went by and the sister began to grow up. She began to wear make-up and had a growing interest in boys. Her brother however wasn't amused by such things though he introduced his sister to one of his friends who was her age. The more the two began to talk and flirt the angrier the younger brother became until he cut them off from one another. Even though the older sister wanted to protest she held her tongue not wanting to upset her brother and ultimately lose him.

When the summer ended and the younger brother was taken back home by his angry mother though the distance was great the hold he had over his sister was strong.

She winced in pain as she felt the spikes coming from her cuffed wrist dig into her skin.  She would try to walk away only to be forcefully pulled back to his side. Without any option she had to kneel before her superior begging for his approval.

Graduation was upon the older sister who happily changed her Skype status though as always she would message her younger brother only to get a response of “I’m mad at you.” Mad? Why would he be mad? What did she do wrong? Maybe if she asked she could find a way to help or make it up to him. When she asked a response quickly came “Figure it out.” Figure what out? Could it have been the time when she put her foot down to assert her authority as the eldest when he met her first serious boyfriend…could that, be the reason?

Quickly responding she got a response in what felt like a Nano-second. “No, that’s not it. Figure it out.” The sister began to panic feeling her younger brother slipping away until she realized that she couldn't let him control her life any longer that once again she had to put her foot down. Shaking as she responded angrily she didn't wait for a reply and quickly blocked him wanting her words to sink in. Her hands still shaking and tears in her eyes she left to attend the ceremony.

Without hesitation she yanked causing the chain to snap and the cuff on her wrist to open revealing old wounds in her wrist from her skin having healed around the spikes. Without looking back, tears in her eyes, and blood flowing from her injury she slowly staggered away only to only collapse, her legs unable to hold her up without him. She struggles to get back up only to feel the loving arms around her, she saw them man she loved lifting her along with her friends and family showing her that she can stand on her own.
Inspired by this song and my own experience.
