Little Too Much

Going home. (chapter 6)

The next morning, Mariah, Katy and I have a discussion on what I should do.
"Go home." Mariah tells me.
"Call your Brother." Katy says.
"Okaay." I say with a sigh.
"What?" Mariah asks me.
"I'm going to call my brother and see what I should do." I tell the both of them.
I call my brother Shawn and he picks up after the third ring.
"Hello." he says.
"Hey, Shawn."
"Yeah, what's up? Where have you been?" he asks me.
"At Mariah's house."
"Are you coming home?" he says through the phone.
"I don't know should I?"
"Yeah, I'll talk to Matt and Mom and see if I could get you off the hook." Says Shawn and that's why he's always been my favorite.
"Thank you, Shawn! I love you." I say into the phone and then we says our goodbyes for now and then before I know it we're heading to my house.
*****************
"Right here's good." I say to Mariah, not wanting her to go all the way to my house, so I had her stop three houses down.
"Thank you guys so much. Your the best!" I say to them as I'm getting out.
"Bye, Jennifer! Love you!" Katy says and then Mariah starts to drive away. Man, what's been her problem?
I walk up to my house and ring the door bell, well, because the door was locked. I'm standing there waiting and then I hear the click of the lock and the door slowly pulls open, I flinch on the in side not knowing who it is. Then it fully opens and reveals, the one and only, My Brother Shawn. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding
"Thank god." I say into the breath.
"What surprised to see me?" he says with a smile.
"Kinda." I say and he moves aside to let me inside.
I step into the house and it's dead silent which scares me.
"Where is everyone?" I ask him as I make my way up to my room and he follows me in suit.
"They've been gone for two days, so I think you should be okay. You might get yelled at 'cause he was asking for you before, but other than that just say you've been home." Shawn says, the last part with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Okaay." I say nodding my head and walk into my room, I go to my closet and open it, then I scan it, look for something to wear.
"Whatcha doing?" he asks leaning against the frame.
"Looking for clothes to wear." I say, concentrating.
"For what? You just got home." he says.
"I know but, in like two-three days this guy, Ruben wants me to go on a "date" with him." I say kinda quietly, hoping he wouldn't hear.
"A Date?" he says raising his eyebrows at me. "So why are you looking now and not in two or three days?" he asks another question.
"Because what if I wear a good outfit and then I won't have anything good enough to wear on the da-dinner" I say instead knowing that he would just get irritated by the word date.
"Oh." is all he says, then he go's and sits on my bed, on his phone typing away.
"When did you meet him?" he says when I step out the closet.
"Uhh.....I met him on facebook, like four days ago." I say timidly, sure it's only been three days but I've gotten to know him pretty good.
"Four?!" he says, his voice raising a little. "What's wrong with you?! Are you starting to turn into Jaz?!" he now yells, also referring to our little sister who, I'm not trying to be mean but she's a whore.
"No. I can date people too you know and he's really nice. He doesn't yell at me either!" I raise my voice too, who does Shawn think he is? He can't control me.
"Fine" he says running a hand through his hair, sighing in defeat.
"Your right. I can't control you and you deserve someone who treats you right."
"You do." I say, I can tell that he knew that I was indicating him about treating me right.
"What?" he says confused, or hes pretending to be.
"You do treat me right. But your my brother." I say and he nods, understanding.
"So, do you want to go get something to eat?" Shawn says to me and I nod.
