Brady Walsh
A year ago, at the age of 24, Brady Walsh moved back into the house with his mother and his younger sister, after his father decided he'd had enough of family life. He'd dissappeared in the middle of the night with nothing but a quick note saying he was sorry. Brady's mother had spiraled out of control after that. Her drinking got worse, and a car accident had left her addicted to prescription pain pills. Brady knew that she was in no shape to provide for the family, let alone be a parent to his younger sister. And so he moved back in and took up the role of the man of the house. He works two jobs now, takes care of his mother and makes sure his sister has whatever she needs.
"Hey, sis," Brady called out as he neared her bedroom door. "Are you busy in there? I could really use some help with the dishes." The truth was, he didn't need the help but he wanted to get his sister out of her room. She had grown more and more withdrawn since their father left and Brady was determined not to let her completely pull away from the family.
As he reached her door, Brady pushed it open and stepped into her room.
