Fredrick's POV
I opened my eyes and saw the sunlight coming through the window. Noooooo. I don't want the sun to come out. It needs to stay hidden. I sighed and picked myself up. I heard a noise from my bed. I looked over and it was Essie.
I totally forgot she slept in my bed.
I shrugged it off and walked over to my window. If I can't get sleep I'll let Essie get some. I was soo tired last night I forgot to lock the house and close my window curtains. I close the curtains and walked towards the door. I should check if my parents are here.
I walked down the hallway to my parents room and quietly opened the door. They were both asleep in bed. Good. I turned around but my older brother was behind me. "What are you doing" he asked. "AAAH" I screamed.
God dammit.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!?! People are trying to sleep" I said frustrated. He just smirked at me. Bitch. I just sighed and walked into the kitchen. I don't have time for that shit. I'm gonna make breakfast.
As I was cooking I felt a presence in the room. I know it sounds weird but I just felt like someone was standing behind me. I just continued cooking. "Wait what's this?" My brother said. I felt him put his hand in my pocket and quickly pull it out.
Shit the money.
"Hey give that back" I said trying to grab it. "Did you steal this?!" He asked. I knew what he was doing. He was trying to get me in trouble. He's a grown ass man and he's trying to get me in trouble. "No I found it. I was cleaning out the shed and there was an envelope. It had my name on it" I said still trying to grab my money back.
This is soo unfair. I'm not that tall and he is. But I am just the right height to kick him where the sun doesn't shine. "Jackson I swear to god if you don't give me my fucking money back I'm gonna hurt you. Bad" I said. It probably didn't sound too threatening but I meant it. Jackson just looked at me and started laughing.
That's when I did exactly what I mentioned I was gonna do. I mean talk shit get hit. Right?
After the little fight was settled Jackson gave me my money back. He was about to leave when he turned around and said "Listen I'm gonna get you back for what you just did" "yea yea yea. You better go tell that to a clown or something" was all I said. He gets angry when I say that to him.
By the time I finished eating breakfast everyone was up. Instead of watching tv or something I went into my room and got my phone. I'm gonna bring Essie to the store. I mean I don't really need anything so with the money I have I might just buy Essie something for Christmas.
I walked into the living room and saw Essie coloring. "Hey Essie wanna come to the park with me?" I asked. I didn't want my parents knowing that I'm going to a store because they'll question me about the money. "YEA!!!" Essie said happily. "Great go get in some warm clothes and then we'll leave.
I was waiting for Essie to get dressed when someone tapped me. I turned around and it was my papa. "Yea?" I asked. "Hey I know you and Essie are o lot going to the park but please be careful and please watch her" he said. I just nodded. "Ok I will" I said. He just nodded and walked off. Weird. Maybe he's just scared that she will get lost. That's probably it.
Once Essie was ready we walked to the store. It was cold outside. Not unbearably cold. Just like I need and really warm jacket and really warm pants. Anyways we got to the store and Essie looked very confused.
I should've told her on the way. I bent down and said "listen I know I said we were going to the park but I lied. We can he after but I want to get you something. Look. I found this money while we were cleaning the shed. It had my name on it so I think it's for me" "why do you wanna get me something?" She asked. Aww. "Well because you're my favorite sister" I said smiling. She hugged me tightly and we walked into the toy store together.
As we were looking at some toys I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and it was my brother's ex girlfriend Alena. But she was pregnant. Like not just 2 months or so. Like at least 8. "Hey" I said confused. "Hey Fredrick. What are you doing here?" She asked as if we were best friends.
I don't like when people do that but I decided to be nice.
I just smiled and asked "I'm getting my sister a Christmas present for my sister. What about you?" "Buying some stuff for the baby" she said smiling, signaling to her stomach. "So you moved on from my brother? If so good" I said. Her smiled faded slightly. She looked angry but sad. "Actually it's his baby. That's the reason I kicked him out. He didn't really want to take care of it so I kicked him out" she said sternly.
Damn. She's soo independent it's funny to see that my brother had to come back to my mama and papa. Loser.
"You funny thing. My brother came back to live with my parents" I said chuckling. She nodded. She chuckled and said "As I suspected. Anyways. I'll talk to you another time. We both have stuff to do" "alright I'll see you later" I said smiling. Wow my brother is a dick.
Time skip~
Me and my sister go home from the park. I let he play for a bit because she a kid you know. Anyways. I didn't want my parents to see the present so I did what any smart person would do. I hid the present in the shed. I already had the present wrapped because they offer to wrap it for free so I just said yea.
I looked at the shed. It could use more cleaning. Who knows. Maybe I'll find some more money. I grabbed the broom and started sweeping. That's when I heard the door open. "Hey Freddy. Can I help you again?" I heard Essie ask. I chuckled at that. She's always soo nice. "Yep. Wanna sweep again?" I asked. She nodded and ran over to me. I handed her the broom and let her start sweeping.
I need to move some stuff. Because some of these shelves are literally about to collapse and if Essie is in here I don't want that to happen. "Hey Essie do you mind sweeping over there? I'm gonna move this shelf and I don't want it to hit you" I said as calmly as possible. I didn't want to scare her. "Yea" was all she said. She ran over to the other side of the shed and started sweeping over there.
Good. I would die if she got hurt. Now I have to try to get my short self to move this big ass shelf. I can do it. Hopefully.
