< 15 >

I walk to my house and get on my computer. I really didn't check on my brother but whatever. I just can't shake why minecraft is embarrassing for Mitch.I guess he is as embarrassed for me to know he plays minecraft as I am to tell them about my past. I don't know minecraft is a good escape... It is simple and fun. I download it and play the single player tutorial. Yeah I'm one of those people but hey I can master anything if I can actually practice it first.
---------------3,660 seconds later--------------
I am ready to play with other people I join quite a few server. Most of the ones I join I are the ones Mitch and Ryan play on
THEARCHON
KASTIA
MCSG
THEHIVE
AMNESTY
UHCZONE
I play for a few more hours switching from server to serve. Then my door hits my wall like Darla from finding nemo does at her uncles office.
"Jesus you scared me"
She stumbles into my room reeking of alcohol I could tell she has been crying
"Mom are you ok...are you drunk" my voice getting higher as I say the sentence how could she get drunk! She promised!
"I'm fine and I'm not even drunk" she slurs her words it's like she has marbles in her mouth.
"I think you need to take a nap" I don't even want to deal with her right now. She is pissing me off just the sight of her acting like this makes my head want to explode.
"I don't need you telling me what to do"
"I'm just trying to help you! Because you don't seem to be helping yourself"
"I don't need your help"
"Why are you acting crazy"
"While you were out being a little whore max broke up with me"
"Good he was a bast- bad person" I was fed up with her shit and max was a psychopath anyway.
"Don't talk about him that way you ungrateful twat"
"Do you even know what is coming out of mouth" I shout. I can see the anger in her face. She raises her hand and swings it towards my face. I scoot back and she misses. I fight the urge to cry
"What the Fu-heck mom what is your problem" I yell
I see my brother coming from down the hall
"What is going on"
"Oh my baby I love you so much" her mood changes instantly.
She hugs him and kisses his cheek.
I know my face is red and I know my brother can tell I am pissed off.
"Hey mom let's go to your room you look tired" he says guiding her down the hallway
"Yes you are right honey I am very tired"
They walk out and I stand there I am to frustrated and flustered to deal with any dastardly nonsense.
I sit my chair and pull my knees up to my chest. I can feel myself breaking on the inside. She promised.

My brother walks in an hour later
"Hey Al"
I fake a smile
"What happened"
"Max broke up with her and I got mad at her for... For well acting stupid"
"Good he was a no moocher" he laughs trying to be funny.
I sigh "he probably cheated on her... Men are assholes"
"Some are"
We sit in silence for a little bit
"Hey Al do you really think max loved mom"
"No"
"Do you think dad loved mom"
Why is dad on his mind that low life bastard doesn't even deserve my brother thoughts.
"I don't know...if he did he didn't show it"
"I feel bad for mom"
"I don't she does this to herself"
"What do you mean"
"I mean she can't stay single for more than week before she brings a guy between her legs"
"Oh"
Just then I got 3 consecutive texts from my friend Jesse
Jesse: Come back to Texas
It's just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
And forget all about the Lone Star State
Jesse: There's a seat for you at the rodeo
And I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway.
Jesse: I think bowling for soup is sending you a message.
"Ike I think I need to go back to Texas"
"What are you crazy Al you can't just leave where did that even come from anyway its the middle of the semester"
"Ok I'll wait until December or January and go back then, it's only like two months away"
"I don't know what about mom what about me"
"I can get you ticket but I don't about mom she is just going to have to get a straw and suck it up"
I text Jesse back
Me- I might
Jesse- what are you serious?
Me- I don't know I might go for Christmas
Jesse- OMG that would be awesome
Me- yeah but don't tell anyone
Jesse- I have to tell Parker
Me- you can't tell Parker
Jesse- why
Me- I want to surprise him
Jesse- oh yeah that would be awesome
Me- if I do go can me and my bro stay with you while We're there
Jesse- duh
Me- yay
I might be acting a crazy and out of spite because of the fight but that thought of going back home. Back home to Jesse and Parker. They are my family I have know them practically my whole life. My parents bought the house right between their houses when I was four years old. Those where the good old days before the hate and pain. Jesse was just as much a tomboy as I was and Parker was a little weird but we loved him anyways. Ahhh I'm going back home! I can't wait! I want to scream it to the world!
