Stepbrothers

Two years ago, your mother married a good and kind man who became your stepfather. Many people do not find a common language, your relationship has developed. He treated you like his own child, which pleased your mother and you as well.

That man had three already quite grown-up sons who lived separately. You didn't communicate much with them, but you still had friendly communication. The quarrels were mostly with the younger and the older. The eldest, Jan— constantly pointed out what was right and what was wrong. The youngest of them, Vlad, tried to adjust you to himself and paid too much attention. Well, the average one, Ignat, was the most calm and comfortable person. You spent the most time with him, because you felt good around him.

The only negative that all three of them had was the ban on walking at night. No matter how many times you tried to persuade them to let you go for a walk, you received a clear and precise refusal. Resentments were present, but cunning prevailed.

One evening, without listening to your stepbrothers, who were spending the night at their father's house where you lived, you went for a walk. You were walking in the evening park, looking up at the starry sky. Nicely. A light atmosphere. The air was clean and cool, so I wanted to breathe it in so many times. But the idyll was ruined.

Suddenly, heavy male footsteps were heard behind you. You didn't even turn around to see who was there, but immediately headed in the opposite direction, speeding up your pace. You simply didn't have time to run, because you were grabbed by the arm. Thank God it was Vlad. But it's clear from the face that something is going to happen now.

Surprisingly, there was nothing. He just took you home. My parents were away, because they had gone to visit. After bringing you into the living room, where Jan and Ignat were sitting with frowning faces, Jan raised his voice at you for the first time:

— "Are you fucking thinking with your own head?! And if I hadn't followed you, where would you be right now?! Naked in an alley or under a bush?!"
