[UPDATE] I (18F) am holding a grudge against my older brother (23M) and don't know how to get over it.

I met with my brother yesterday after school. We met at a diner about 20 minutes out of town. I can't go much further than that as my parents check my gas usage and get suspicious if I use too much. It was a mix of awkward and emotional to say it best. He was really jumpy and insisted he sit where he could see the doors at all times. We had a long discussion about why he left, how I felt, and how I wanted it to change. There was a lot of stuff going on in the house that I didn't know about that caused him to make the decision to leave. We had a pretty steady conversation, lots to talk about including him graduating college and me getting ready to graduate high school. We both agreed that the other is taller than we remember.
There was one point where a car pulled into the parking lot that looked a lot like our parents old one and he got really quiet and tense. When I told him that a few years ago that car had been totaled in a crash and our parents had a new one he demanded to know what the new one looked like. We talked about ways I was saving and plans of how to move out after high school. He only stuck around for a little over 30 minutes before he had to leave, he didn't like being too close to our hometown.
We're planning to get together again in a couple weeks, somewhere further away from where I/our parents live so we can talk longer. He made me promise not to write down a time or date or anything so our parents won't accidentally find it. He seemed like he was doing okay and he was overjoyed I contacted him back and wanted to meet. It's gonna take a while until we start getting close to where our relationship was but it's getting there and I'm glad he's back in my life. I can't tell my parents (obviously) or many of my friends in case it gets back to my parents somehow, I don't want to put him in danger. So I figured I'd tell you guys! Thanks for all the tips and love, you guys are amazing.
Tl;dr: You guys pushed me to meet up with my brother after 7 years and I'm so happy I listened. We're planning more times to meet up and it's going to be slow but so nice to have him back in my life again. Thank you r/relationships !
