Haiti POV:

"Jamaica?" I said as i helped him up

"I thought you left the school man"

"Of course not! I was just on a trip with the other kids, sorry for just... Leaving you guys i really wanted to fit in" Jamaica said

"Hey it's ok" I said patting his shoulder

"How has Domi been treating you by the way?" Jamaica asked

"Like the same as always" I said rolling my eyes, Jamaica looked at me sympathetically

"Look you really have to make it up with him, you guys can't go on like this forever, you guys are siblings, atleast be like one" Jamaica said,

"Jami, look im glad to have a friend like you but, please this is family stuff, you don't understand"I said

"Did you just call me Jami?" Jamaica said blushing, i blushed too

"I, uhm, oh look at the time it's time for us to go home already, bye see you tomorrow Jamaica" I said walking away quickly

Dang it, now that i think about what i just did, that was just so rude of me, I'll have to apologize for that too

Wow looks like im becoming Canada huh

God why did i have to forget my jacket it's about to rain and the air is just so cold, maybe i can run to home it'll help me be warm and i could arrive there earlier

Time skip yay

As i jogged home i saw a figure by our door, i squinted my eyes and it was just Domi

"Where were you Asshole i have been waiting for you for an hour" Domi hissed

"I-i was talking to Jamaica, i bumped into him in the hallways"

"Hmph thought he left, must've came back, he does nothing except getting high, bitch ass son of a bitch is clearly being a bad influence" Domi said, i could hear in his voice he, for some reason doesn't like Jamaica

"Wha-look you can't tell me what to do.... " I trailed off as he shot me a glare, I shrunk back and unlocked the door

Domi immediately went to his room, obviously not wanting to talk to me, I however was lost in my thoughts

What happened between my brother and best friend? Is my brother just jealous? Or are they both hiding something from me

No, they wouldn't do that, i both trust them the most in this world, but still, why does my brother not like me talking about Jamaica?

Going back to what Jamaica said, when he asked about how Domi was treating me, his tone had gone slightly lower, clearly trying to make sure i didn't notice it, when his tone went lower,i didn't think much of it but there is something they are hiding, and im gonna figure it out

But first, I have to talk to my brother, i have to apologize for what i did to him in the past....

*knock knock*

"What do you want" Domi growledl

"I came here to talk to you, I wanted to ask you, why do you hate me?" I asked

"Why do i hate you? YOU INVADED US, OCCUPIED US AND TREATED US LIKE SHIT"

"IT WASN'T AN INVASION IT WAS UNIFICATION, I DIDN'T TREAT YOU GUYS LIKE SHIT, YOU GUYS WERE TREATED AS GOOD AS THE PEOPLE ON OUR SIDE OF THE ISLAND, IT WAS TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS WEREN'T ENSLAVED AGAIN"

"You were oppressing us, you think i would ever forgive you?" Domi said quietly this time, i didn't have a response, because he always misunderstood me, it's useless

I turned around and walked out the door, slamming it so he can hopefully sense my anger




A/N

Yes angst, if you guys don't get it
During the 1800s, Haiti occupied the Dominican Republic Or Santo Dominigo to 'unify' the island and protect the Dominican Republic from another enslavement
But the Dominicans saw this as an oppression, hopefully that explains it

Also this book isn't meant to offend any Haitians or Dominicans or Jamaicans or really anybody
I made this book because there are just so many underrated countries that need to be in a book, so yes i made this
Thanks for reading until the end
Stay safe
