Dark Silhouette [1]

Linus blinked his eyes, unable to open his mouth. 

Overhearing his brother's question, he didn't know how to reply. How did he feel? Of course, the answer was simple. 

He felt like shit. 

How would anyone feel about getting slapped to get their brother's attention? 

"So?" 

As Julien asked again, Linus felt Jacob's gaze. 

Linus suddenly felt pressured. However, seeing his brother's stern gaze, something within Linus broke and he opened his mouth. 

"Like shit. Is that what you want me to say?" 

He started to speak truthfully. 

"Why would I like it when I'm being used to get your attention?" 

Turning his head, Linus glared in Jacob's direction. As Linus's expression twisted, he pressed his finger against Jacob's chest.
