Sibling Intersection

she is my sister. he is my brother. she tough me how draw. he tough me how to play the computer. she tough me how to sing. he tough me how to direct the story. she tough me how punish your enemy. he tough me to be my self. she tough me to be "cool". he tough me to be smart. she tough me how to deal with people who weren't. he tough me how to be listened to. she tough me how to be jealous. he tough me to depend on him. she tough me how to scream through slammed doors. he tough me that he loved me. she tough me how that i was annoying "on purpose". he tough me how to be creative. she tough me how to have structure. he tough me to throw away everything that was painful. she tough me how to not care about another person. i tough myself to completely depend on my brother to support me when no one else did. and then the tough me how to leave for college. she tough me not to feel so sentimental and sad. i tough her that she could shut it. she tough me that onward silence is better then forgiveness. i tough her that ...i didn't care. she tough me that she liked being alone, and wasn't sympathetic. i tough her i didn't care about that either. time passed high school started. she tough me how to get on the right bus. she tough me that the art teacher i had was horrible. she tough me who i should avoid. she tough me to trust her to drive me to school. and then a funny thing happened. she tough me how to in the car. she tough me how to "get the boy". she tough me to watch anime. she tough me how to have structure.
