YoCP Episode 3: This is Big Stuff

"N-no, I-" I start panicking.

"I have been looking for you, I can't believe I've finally found you!" he practically yells with enthusiasm as he throws himself around me.

"Oh. My. God." Zeldine blurts out. "You have a brother??"

"Stop, Zel," Kass objects.

"What? No, this is big stuff!"

"No, stop," I say as I push off my... the boy. "I'm not... I can't - Please, don't do this..." The last part is a whisper more than anything. I can't breathe, I need to be anywhere else.

"B-but we've been looking for you - me and mom," his face is riddled with uncertainty. "I thought you'd be happy to see us... see me?"

"I- I can't do this," I say, as my mind short circuits, and I just set off, leaving the scene.

"Alea!?" Zeldine yells out behind me.

"I'll get her," Kass answers as the last thing I hear.

I don't care, I just need to get away - be anywhere else. I run for two blocks, before I turn around a corner and just collapse up a wall.
