I closed the door when she left and rest my forehead on the door and breathing heavily.

-You alright Aus? Canada's voice called out from behind and I instantly turned around.

-Canada. I whispered and a sigh came out.

We had a distance between us and him reaching out for me with his right hand. I shook my head saying that I didn't want to talk about it now and desperately want to say something to break the silence.

I looked up and down on what Canada was wearing. He had his winter brown jacket on and underneath was an unbuttoned red flannel showing his upper body. He had ripped black jeans and his famous hat.

-Why are you wearing your jacket in the house? Aren't you hot in there? I asked and walked towards the kitchen and Canada followed me.

-Hmmm, no, not really. I need it to survive, remember?

-Right. Sorry I keep forgetting because it's so weird. I confessed and sat on the stool and he just shrugged and sitting next to me.

-Who was she? Canada asked after some time sitting in silence.

-Japan. Haven't I told you? I said and turned to him giving him a questioned look.

His eyes widened and his mouth was opened slightly. Watching him like this can give me time to observe his flaws on his face. Having some pimples and his face were covered with freckles and his famous scars. Yes, "scars", with a "s". One on his cheek, one very small under his left eye, and finally one on his right corner forehead. All because of father.

-Canada? I called him and he snapped from it by shaking his head. What's wrong?

-Nothing... Forget it. Just be careful of her...

-What?! I asked raising my voice and laughing a bit. Are you serious?!

-... He couldn't look me in the eyes and he cleared his throat. Sorry Aus...

-The HELL! I shouted and got up and slammed the table with my right hand in extreme anger.

It was silent and I was waiting for my dear old brother to say something but only silence. He opened his mouth but I cut him off.

-YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO MAKE FRIENDS FOR ME! YOU GUYS WERE NEVER THERE FOR ME AND NOW NZ IS NEVER HERE AND YOU EXPECT ME TO LET GO MY ONLY CLOSE FRIEND?! In. Your. DREAMS! I shouted so loud that I could feel Bolt shaking and the whole house shaking.

-SHUT UP!! Meri shouted from his room and me and Canada looked over there.

We didn't see him coming out from his room so I turned back to Canada. He had a tear streaming down his cheek and he was looking away. My eyes were crying and I fell on my knees and sobbing and trying to catch my breath since my lungs aren't working very well after the accident.

-You aren't even my real brother... I whispered and that was enough for him to get up and walk out of the house, closing the door slowly.

I knew exactly where he's going. So I didn't care. Even how hard he tries to act tough, deep down, you can never change a sweet person to a badass just like that. I knew I was never suppose to say that sentence but I was too angry at him for not giving me a reason.

When I caught my breath and it was steady, I looked to my side and saw Bolt sniffing my face. Seeing him made me cry a little more and made me smile softly. I found my force and I got up slowly and grabbed my had at the same time. My eyes were puffy. Damn, it's been a long time since I had a breakdown... I heard Meri coming around the corner so I fixed my posture and grabbed a glass of water and chugged it before he saw me. I quickly washed my face and turned to look at Meri.

-Where's Nada? Meri asked as he looked around and opened the fridge door to grab a soda.

-Ukraine's. I answered simply and grabbed a box of cookies in the cabinet and rushed to go to the stairs.

-Hey! Not so fast! Meri called and I stopped on my tracks.

-Yes? I asked and turned my head slowly to him.

-What's wrong? You were shouting at Nada, which you rarely do.

-Really? Not at all. I laughed nervously and looked away.

-You think I'm a dumbass? I might to some shitty stuff, but I'm telling you, Aussie, I work with the FBI so I know a thing or two about humans emotions. So, talk.

-It's about my new friend. He said that I should be careful! Like, the hell? Sure, I might have not have a lot of friends from the past, but c'mon, I ain't that bad, right? We have so much in common! How we both love animals, we both drink and we can hang out normally! And-

-Aussie, you're feeling extreme emotions. Emotions that you used to had. Maybe that's what Nada was warning you about. That's someone as close as, you know... her who shall not be named.

-... But, we're just only friends... I whispered and he shrugged. STOP IT! YOU'RE DOING THE SAME LIKE NADA! LEAVE MY SOCIAL REPUTATION ALONE LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO! ONLY CARE ABOUT ME WHEN YOU HAVE TO! I shouted and ran up the stairs with Bolt next to me.

I opened the door and let Bolt to walk in before I slammed the door shut. I sat on the bed and my animals watched me curiously.

-I don't get it Bolt. I started as he climbed on the bed and lay next to me. Why aren't they celebrating me of having a friend. They should, especially after the problem with her... God! I sometimes hate them! Why am I treating them as if they were my real brothers? NZ is my real blood related brother, not Meri, not Canada! Him and Meri aren't even blood related as well! Meri was adopted and Canada have the genes of Father and Mother!

I muffled my cries with my pillow before deciding to get some shut eyes.
