The Journal

"KADE! GET BACK HERE!!"

Kade stuck his tongue out at me being annoying as usual. I was writing in my journal minding my own business when he came out of nowhere and snatched the book out of my hand. "KADE DON'T MAKE ME GET MUM". Kade stopped turning around to look at me. He smirked at me and chuckled at my meaningless threat. "It's just some stupid book" he teased, holding it with two fingers and holding it lightly almost dropping it in the mud. "What do you spend all day writing in this anyways? Is this your diary or something?" He said as he continued to mock me. 

"Just give it back Kade." I said, getting tired of his games.

"Or what? You're gonna go cry to mum"?  He made a pouty face and mimed a tear going down his cheek before doubling over in laughter. He walked over to me holding my journal out to me.  I slowly put my hand out to grab my journal not sure if this was another one of his jokes or not. Sure enough when I was just about to grab the book from him he dropped it. I tried catching it but me being me it ended up falling into the mud. Kade burst out laughing as I picked up my ruined journal and tried wiping the mud from the leather cover. Kade turned and walked away back to the house leaving me with tears in my eyes as I try to see how much of the writing in my journal was messed up.

Kade is my older brother. Mum says he is perfect in everyway and I should try to be just like him. To her he is an angel who could do no wrong he never gets in trouble at school and he is a straight A student who is going to be an excellent healer someday and make her proud. She doesn't see how he bullies me and other younger kids at school. He likes the power he has and thinks its funny to see us powerless. He is 17 where as I am 14. 

I wiped the tears from my eyes and ran my fingers through my hair to calm myself down and get rid of some of the stress I was feeling. I started making my way home as the sun was started to set. Mums probably going to be upset with me for being out so late I should've been home hours ago but I got lost in my journal and the time went by way to fast. 

I walked along the cobbled path making my way past the sunflower fields as I started to see my home up on the hill. 

I stepped onto the porch taking a long deep breath as I prepared for the yelling that my mother was sure to do the second I stepped through the door.
