Regardless of my evening being hijacked, I still wanted my brother to be there. So despite Zack’s hatred for Alan, I sent him an invitation. Unfortunately, that’s how the night ended in a huge fight between us all. I stepped out into the hallway, intent on finding Alan and begging him to get along with Zack for my sake. Instead, I found him already yelling at our parents for how selfish they were and accusing them of being blinded by the glamorous life they now had. What I heard my brother say that night has been burned into the back of my mind ever since.
