Brooklyn's pov

I thought today was gonna be a good day and I thought I was gonna be happy but all of that changed because my brother can't stop doing bad things.

So today I was sitting on the couch drinking my coffee when he comes out into the kitchen and says "Brooke, can I talk to you?"

I said "Yeah sure"

We sat down at the table and then he said that he stole a painting.

I then said "Why did you do that?" 

I was trying not to yell but I couldn't help it, I want him to stop doing bad things but he doesn't stop

I then yelled "UGH! Why can't you do anything right!"

He then looked at me with a sad look on his face.

I yell "All you ever do is mess everything up! I don't even know why were related, You keep doing bad things when you should start doing good things and I thought you were actually changing but I guess I was wrong! Get OUT! GET OUT OF MY LIFE! I a...

I yell "All you ever do is mess everything up! I don't even know why were related, You keep doing bad things when you should start doing good things and I thought you were actually changing but I guess I was wrong! Get OUT! GET OUT OF MY LIFE! I am done being nice to you and this is where our family ends so please get out! I never want to see you ever again and I mean it!"

He then got upset and started walking out of the apartment. I followed him and then as we was walking away he looked at me to make sure I meant it. As he looked at me, He saw me crying. Sure I hated him right now but I couldn't stop my tears from falling from my eyes.

I said crying "Go! I never want to see you ever again, LEAVE! GET OUT OF HERE!"

So yeah he left and I was left alone. Ok so I know I told him that I meant everything I said but to be honest I didn't. I already miss him! I went back upstairs and then I sat down on the couch and tried to call him. No answer! 

I say to myself "I'm so stupid!"

I told him that he messed up and now I did too

I told him that he messed up and now I did too. I should have never yelled at him but I let my anger get the best of me. Again, how could I be so stupid! I know I should accept that he's a criminal but I can't. 

He had his whole life ahead of him when he was younger and I thought he was gonna do something good with his life but then he did some bad things and got caught twice by the FBI. I mean sure I could get used to it but I just can't and I never will get used to it.

How am I supposed to deal with my brother being a criminal? Anyway now I just want to find him and make it up to him. 

I went downstairs and told June to call him and she did. She then handed me the phone and I said "Neal, I'm so sorry! I should have never yelled at you and said those mean things, It's just that I can't accept that your still a criminal and that you still do bad things. I think I can't accept it because I hate seeing you behind a cell rotting. I love you too much and so please come back and be my brother again!"

He came back and we stayed up all night watching movies and having brother and sister time. I love having him back into my life. Sure I don't have a mom but I'll always have a big brother! I love him so much and I don't care if he stole a painting, I'm just glad that we're a family again!
