9:54
As suspected, sleep was shit, I don't know why I even bother trying anymore
It was absolutely freezing in my bedroom so I switched my fan off
The sun was blaring through my curtains
Half in a daze, I went and washed my face and brushed my teeth
The smell of my brother's aftershave lurked in the bathroom
" jay?"
"Yeah ?"
Did he seriously just say yeah as if he has been here the whole ass time
Walking into the kitchen, he was there, shoving my snacks into his backpack
" urm, last time I checked those snacks are mine, and what are you even doing here, you're supposed to be at your dad's"
" no let me have these, he doesn't have snacks at his house, his new girlfriend Alice says they're bad for the body, so that means they're bad for your mind and soul, it's like a prison there"
She sounds insane
" yeah ok take them with you, I wouldn't recommend letting your dad see them either, you know he's super gullible, and love stupid "
That's the complete and honest truth, ever since he left my mom, he's had so many different girlfriends and each of them has been " the one" like the one he's going to marry.
Give it a couple of months and he will have moved on to the next girl who is desperate enough to date him.
" is your dad outside then ?"
"Yeah, only came back to grab some school stuff, I've got exams when I go back to school"
" same, but make sure you actually revise, we can both fail, I think that would actually send mom spiraling"
"Oh yeah deffo"
As he said that, Darren honked his horn from outside as if to say hurry up, he's a prick
"I think that's my cue "
"I believe so"
I don't know why it went so awkward, but it did, being with him felt comfortable, it felt like when he was here I could keep him safe but while he's there, I'm useless, plus I miss him . as much as I hate to admit it, I love him a lot, and it's painful to see him leave
" hug ?"
"Come here"
We never had the best relationship, hell, he annoyed the shit out of me, but it's different now, somethings changed, even though there is only a two year age gap between us, it made us two very different people.
" anyways I've got to go, before ..."
"JAY"
"Oh shit"
Darren was now bashing on our front door shouting for jay, what did I tell you, absolute prick
I opened the door to find a very angry small man
"How delightful to see you, Darren, I see the rest of your hair has fallen out, stress from the horse"
I and mom call Alice a horse, because if you saw her, you would think she belongs frolicking in a field as well
" Riley, just as lovely as ever, tell jay to ..."
Hurry up, yes I think the whole ass neighborhood heard you telling jay to hurry up, your very loud for such a small person"
