Silence

A bit over a month ago, I got into an argument with my little brother. In any other family, it wouldn't have been anything serious and people would have just laughed it off with a bit of banter, but not in our family. I didn't even say anything nasty to him. I merely expressed my feelings and how I felt about certain things he did or didn't do. Well, he reacts like any grown man would react, right? He starts cursing at me, throwing stuff at me, and then leaves the house in a blind rage, slamming the door shut as loud as he could. Yeah, perfectly normal human behavior. So I left for my own home, as was the original plan. Later that day, I wrote him a message where I apologized to him thoroughly and everything, but he never replied. Coming the past weeks, I sent him several messages that he read but never replied anything back. I haven't seen him since that and if I would hazard a guess, I'd say he'll never talk to me again. Ever. I know this because he's done the same for our mom for years now. Barely in speaking terms.

(The latter "incident" was resolved as my big brother finally replied back to me and agreed to my proposition. It took a few days, but apparently he was quite busy and I honestly can't blame him.)
