I approached my family as I came from the kitchen. Julian was sitting on the couch talking about who knows what to my parents. I heard Diego's voice begin to talk but Julian quickly scream "YA CALLATE DIEGO!" The room got quiet. This... This hasn't been the first time Julian told Diego that...

I glanced over at my parents... Perhaps hoping them to say something... Anything really. From that moment in time I snapped... All I could remember was the silence that followed what seemed to be a powerful yell emitting from my vocal chords. 

I don't know why I snapped... Maybe because seeing my sweet little brother (whom I see my young self in) get told constantly to shut up just as people did when I was small caused my sudden rage. People constantly shut the dancing playful social little me down and soon enough it sank in. I don't want that to happen to him. I know I can't protect my little brother from everything, I dearly wish I could, but I would not tolerate these kinds of things...
