2 heartbroken teens

THAT HE WHAT??

I haven't known anything about my younger brother Kaleb since a while ago. The reason... well, maybe later you'll know. But what I can tell for now is that he's a fucking dick. I really didn't imagine he'll visit us after what happened...

Of course I don't waste any more time and I leave my house in seconds, without even warning the boys. I need to know what the fucking tadpole that I have as a brother wants. It's completely impossible that he came in a good mood. I laugh out loud in sarcasm at that thought. Obviously there has to be something more.

I take the skate and I ride as fast as I could to get to my mum's house. Jordan's voice talks in my brain reminding me that I need a car. It's true that it's a twenty minute ride that could be five by car, but it's not my biggest problem at the moment.

Each meter that I'm closer I feel the anger growing more and more in my body. Just imagining my brother's face makes my blood boil, and so I push my foot on the pavement with more fury, increasing speed. He better be prepared when I arrive. 

Finally I see the cream white facade of my mum's house and the four palm trees that embroider the front yard. I grab the skate and I run across the street until stopping at the door and ringing the doorbell impatiently. 

Will he be inside or he already left? I literally don't prefer any of the options. An annoying noise irrupts my thoughts and the door opens. Then I walk quick to the big wooden door, where my mum opens a second before I reach it.

"You came?" 

Why is she surprised?

"Of course I came, mum, where is he?" I ask impatient while going inside the house.

"He's not here now, he... well, he'll be back soon." She answers, and closes the door. 

"Mum, what the fuck!" I almost throw the skate, but instead I just let it fall. Anyways my mother reproaches me that I'll damage the floor.

"Vinnie, calm down." She says firmly. I run my fingers through my hair very anxious.

"I can't. I won't until that piece of shit realizes the damage he has caused to us, especially you!" I shout.

"Don't name Kaleb like that! Be as angry as you want, but he's still your brother." 

"He ceased to be my brother the day he left with dad." 

She didn't say anything more, so now there's nothing more than a very loud silence. However, it only lasted a long minute, because I hear the outside door opening and closing, so I can only guess it's Kaleb. I clench my jaw.

I almost run to the door. My mother tries to stop me, but I'm faster. 

"Vinnie, please!" She tries in vain.

I open the wooden door and I see Kaleb's the brown, curly hair. Instantly he turns his head and also sees me. 

"Sup, bro?" He smiles cockily, which fed my anger to the limit, and so I impact my fist on his jaw in a quick motion. I hear my mum yelling at me, but I don't pay attention.

"Are you fucking serious?" I shout at him. He rubs with a hand where I hit him, unbothered. And a second later he hits me back. Now my mum yells at both.

"I can play this game, too." 

"Fucking pussy..." I mutter, and I push him to the door heavily. His head impacts the metal badly, but he doesn't bleed, so there's nothing to worry about. I grab his T-shirt firmly so he can't move.

"Why the fuck are you here, huh? Save yourself any bullshit." I almost spit on his face. If he still holds back I probably will.

"She's also my mother, dickhead. I wanted to see her."

I push him again.

"I said no bullshit. It's been a year, or you didn't remember?"

"Vinnie, let him go." I hear my mother's voice at my back.

"Why, mum? Tell me a reason to let this motherfucker free. He fucking left with dad after he cheated on you! He preferred to live with that other piece of shit and leave us!" I throw him to the floor and my mum gasps in horror. Despite my uncontrollable fury, I can measure my strength. Contrary to my wishes, I won't kill him. 

"Vincent Hacker, go for a walk or whatever, but don't come back until you calm down." Mum says with wet eyes, about to cry.

I clench my jaw again. I don't want to leave this house until he says why he came to L.A. Mum said one time that he and dad were leaving outside the city so, once more, I don't believe that he just was passing by. 

However, I want mum to be on my side, so I go inside the house to take the skate back. 

"He better be gone by then." I state, passing them by. 

And by gone I mean from this house, because I'm not letting him getting off lightly.
