My brothers best friends

Chapter 8 sad tears and warm hugs

"And that's what happened yesterday" I said looking around the room in this awkward silence of just me and Michael. "God damn it Alicia" he snapped. " what did I do?"I said while my eyes start to water. " no no I'm sorry I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at the dam Bryan.No one ever lays a single finger on my baby sister." As soon as he said that I Saw a rear drizzle down his face.I wipe it with my thumb and began to cry thinking of Bryan and what he did. Michael reached to hug me but I flinch. He looks confused but I just hug him back. I cry in the crook of his neck and he rubs my neck. I smile and my crying slows down. " how about we watch a movie" " yea lets do that, but what movie?" "Ummmmmmm how about saw |||?" "Yea sure" I said with a fake smile. I really hate scary movies, but I have to man up. He puts on the movie and he gets some popcorn. He puts it towards me and I shake my head. "Alicia I have a question" oh geez. "Why do you starve yourself?,I mean your literally a stick. It's not normal." He looks at me waiting for an answer. I just change the subject. "So how are the boys?" He looks at me with a disgusting glare and rolls his eyes. I shrug and scoot away from him. He gets up and stomps to his room. "WELL WHATS YOUR DEAL" I yelled angrily and very loud. I hurt my own ears. "Excuse me"? He said confused. "I SAID WHATS YOUR FREAKIN DEAL." He comes downstairs and looks at me like I'm a piece of crap. "Watch your mouth" "no I won't your being a jerk right now" he comes over to me and I stand up. He a lot taller so he has to look down. "Well maybe if you would eat, I would be happier." "What if I don't want to" "that's your problem" I felt a tear drizzle down my face and he started to look guilty. "Well maybe if I wasn't bullied everyday and I had friends and a good brother I would be fine but I don't ." I start to cry and he comes over and wraps his arms around me. I just cry into the crook of his neck. "I'm really sorry. You should've told me" "I didn't want you to make fun of me." "Alicia look at me." I looked up and saw his green eyes start to look watery. " you are beautiful and you don't need your bullies to tell you that. All you need is the people you care about tell you that. Your a great little sister" I smile and hug him. He kisses the top of my head. "It's getting pretty late I think you should get some rest. Oh!! And Luke said he needed to talk to you about something I don't know what but he does. Tell me if he does anything , because I will kill him with my bare hands." I giggle and nod my head. I stood up and cried out in pain. "What's wrong!!!!" Michael said worryingly. " well my ankle hurts from falling when you first came home and haha one thing I forgot to tell you. Yea um um um Bryan sort of twisted my ankles until I screamed." I gave a small fake smile. Michael shakes his head and looks at the ground. "Well he's nothing to worry about anymore" I nodded and sat on the couch. He picked me up bridal style and walked me to my room. He kisses my forehead. "Good night" I
Smile and he walks out the door. I love having a brother like him.
