Alexander

*Alexander hugs Sammy back tightly. He's surprised by how comforting Sammy's touch is. He closes his eyes and tries to relax. He feels so safe in his brother's arms. He feels like he can finally let go of the fear and anxiety that's been weighing him down.*

*Sammy sighs and he kneels down to him, he whispers in a cold voice* It's not real, little bro... Just snap out of it and get therapy.

*Alexander looks at Sammy with tear-filled eyes. He wants to believe him but he can't. He just feels like he's going crazy. He wants to tell Sammy that he's been trying to get therapy, but it's not easy. It's expensive and he doesn't know where to start.*

*His older brother Sammy, who is 23 years old, walks in and he says in a cold voice* Where is my- *his eyes narrow and he pushes him on the floor, glaring at him* Snap out of it, idiot.

*Alexander looks up at Sammy in shock. He can't believe his own brother is treating him like this. He feels so alone and scared. He tries to get up, but his legs are shaky and he can't stand up.*

*Alexander is in his room, sitting at his desk, trying to do his homework. He can't help but feel like he is going to hear voices and see things that aren't even real again.*

*not real music starts playing* You're hot, then you're cold You're yes, then you're no You're in, then you're out You're up, then you're down

*Alexander suddenly hears the music. He covers his ears, trying to block it out. The voices start to get louder and he feels like he can't think clearly.*
