"Hard Chord!" Twilight called as she entered the Library. She went upstairs and heard... crying? Twilight followed the noise which lead to Hard Chords room. Taking a deep breath and bracing herself to see her crush in an emotional wreck, she opened the door to hind him laying on his bed in tears staring at a photo.
"Go away." He said. Twilight was surprised on how quite it was. She expected him to yell.
"Hard Chord." Twilight said comfortingly. She hopped on his bed and puled him into a tight hug. She looked down to see a grown mare with a brown coat and black mane and tail on the photo. Hard Chord couldn't bury his face in her shoulders since it was hurting.
"Were you close to your mother?" Twilight asked.
"Yes. When I was growing up she was there for me on the worst of days. That's when my brother was born. Suddenly I was left in the cold while he got all the attention." He said angrily. "I could hardly get my moms attention and the only one who paid attention to me was my dad and he hated what my cutie mark meant. My mane style. My music. When I got this peircing he said that he had it and kicked me out. My mother gave me attention for once as she told me not to go as I walked out." Twilight only listened to him as he told her his story.
"I stayed at a friends place for a few years. Then came the day that I heard my mother was dying. I was broken. I never wanted to see her in that condition. I was hoping she would recover and I could move on. She died about a month later. At the funeral I was so bucking depressed. I wanted to watch strangers bury my mother and try not to be a murderer later. As I was leaving, my brother, who had styled his mane to look like mine, came to bitch me out. Telling me that I had just abandoned by family in a time of need. Then my father came by my place an hour later. He was drunk off his ass. He yelled about how i'm not the son he wanted and that he wishes he was mom if he had me for a son. I only sat there and let him yell at me. He threw a bottle and stormed out. I considered suicide that night."
Hard Chord realized how long he was talking and was about to lay back down but Twilight ushered him to keep going.
"Soon I went on with my life and now here I am depressed as sh*t once again as I tried to run from the memories of abandonment." He buried his face in his hooves and cried even more. Twilight held him as he sobbed on his bed. Even she was feeling a lump in her throat after she heard his story. However, she realized that after a half an hour of holding him, Hard Chord had fallen asleep holding Twilight as well. Instead of letting go she snuggled closer and even nuzzled his neck. As she was set and ready to sleep she heard the door open.
"Go to sleep Spike."
The door shut right away.
"Now explain to me please what the hell was that?" Vinyl said to her fiancée.
"You're gonna hear a long story if you want to know why I tried to murder my brother." Notes responded. Vinyl rolled her eyes and laid down next to her boyfriend and listened.
"When I was born my brother at first used to be my best friend. But a year later, he began to be distant to me, giving me glares and often hitting me. As we got older, when we got our group of friends I was the kid who was in the background. They never noticed me missing or if I was sick or anything. Not even my brother cared. But they gave him all kinds of attention. He was so cool around others. Colts wanted to hang out with him, mares wanted to date him. But I was left in his shadow." Electronic Notes had tears in his eyes.
"I tried to be like him all the time, I grew my mane out like him, I tried to get a piercing but dad would have shot me. Soon it became to the point in which we wouldn't even talk to each other." Notes began to cry a little harder at the next sentence.
"That's when mom got sick. I was depressed. I didn't want her to leave me with the colt that threw my brother away like a piece of trash. I wanted my big brother to come home so we could try to be a family again. I didn't hear a word from him. When mom died my dad became a drunk. A week later I abandoned him and went out on my own. When the funeral came I decided to give him a piece of my mind. I don't know what came over me but I got so pissed that I yelled at him." He wiped his eyes and laid his head down on his pillow. Vinyl kissed his cheek and laid down next to him and drifted off to a deep sleep.
