I got home exhausted of the long day I had. Yet I had a lot that would come.
“ Billy? Billy im home.” I yelled. No response. Weird?
“ Billy? Please stop playing around I had a long day today.” No response again. Then I heard the door open behind me. I turned around and found a smiling Billy. I ran up to him and gave him a big hug.
“ Wow! What the hug for? Its not my birthday silly! Its yours!”
“ I know. I just... I didn't... Never mind.” I hate to admit when im scared. It makes people think im weak. Reason why I would always get beat up by the C's.
“ So I got you an early birthday present.” He took out a CD from his pocket and showed it to me. When I saw it I yelled louder then a lion. Wait lions roar. I roared louder then a lion. He got me my last CD that perfected my collection of Pierce The Veil and Sleeping With Sirens CD. All I need was “If you here a movie, this would be your soundtrack.”
“ I love you Billy!!!!”
“ Ok! Now stop being so jumpy and go get your stuff! Please tell me your not gonna play it during the whole care ride?”
“ No promises.” One thing I also hate. Promises. No body keeps them. So why make them? “ Alright go get your stuff.” I nodded and headed to my room. I got everything I needed and headed towards Billy.
“ Lets go bro! Wait were are we going?”
“ Its a surprise remember?”
“ Ugg you and your damn surprises!” He flashed me one of his idiot smiles and through his car keys up in the air failing to catch them. Typical Billy. I shaked my head in disagreement.
“ What?” He said all innocently. I shaked my head once again and opened the door. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the 2 policemen in front of me.
“ Well that saved us time didn't it John.” The tall policeman said to the short one.
“ Yes. Now are you Unique State.” He said pointing to me. I nodded. Then he pointed to Billy. “Are you Billy State.” He also nodded.
“ Well that was easy.” Said the tall one again. Then they both stepped inside the house. “ I'm sorry to say this but Mr. State your under arrest.” My mouth dropped all the way to the floor. I stepped protectively in front of my brother.
“ And why do you want him? He didn't do anything im sure of it.”
“ Yes he did he stole you!!!” The tall one said.
“No I didn't!!” Billy said.
“ Now everybody please calm down. No yelling.” The short one said.
“ Just please tell us whats going on.” I said in my calmest voice. John spoke up again. “ We got a call about a week ago. It was a very worried lady she told us that you had been taken away from her. She doesn't know who had you or why. She begged for us to look for you. I did what I was told. She said that if we found you Miss State and they returned you safe and fast that she would press no charges. If you Mr. State fought back she would press charges. Now how would you like it ?” I noticed my brother tensed up. He sure was going put a fight. How dare our own mother want to put him in jail!!! I stood up surprised at my own actions. “I'll go. No fights no nothing. You could take me.” The 2 policemen smiled glad that there will be no fight. Yet my brother couldn't accept it.
“ No !!! She cant go with her! She cant! That women gave her to me. She didn't want her.”
The tall one stood up and spoke. “If so show me the papers.” Billy looked stressed and confused. He knew mother gave him no papers. He knew that it was hopeless to fight. Then his actions surprised me. He hugged me tight. I hugged him back .
“ I'm gonna miss you.”he whispered into my ear. I was turned 17 this year. Let me explain. I started school early and well now I finished it early.
“ One year bro. Just one year and I will be out of her hands.”
“ Promise me?” I couldn't promise him. What if I broke it?
“ I cant but I'll try.” He breathed heavily but I knew he trusted me. Then I heard someone clear their throat and I let go of my dear brother.
“ Ma'ma we have to go. The plane is leaving soon.”
“ Plane?” I almost yelled.
“ Yes your mother called all the way from London England.” My mouth once again fell to the floor. I was going to England? London? Holy mother F.
“ England? So far way.” I heard my brother whisper.
“ Ma'ma we have to go.”
“ Right well I got my things packeted.”
“ Unique thats not enough.” Billy yelled.
“ Dude relax. Moms making me leave you might as well make her buy me some clothes. I'll just tell her that these guys were tough and rarely gave me time to pack.”
“ You'll never change will you?” He said smiling at me.
“ Never.” I said hugging him once again. I felt the tears come down my cheek fast.
“ Take care buddy. Please don't change I love you ok.”
“ Billy. I wanna stay with you.” I felt warm tears stream down my arm from his tears. “ Me too kiddo but mother is being the witch she is. Don't worry child. I'll get you back.” I cried into my brothers chest for what felt like forever but was actually less then a minute. Then again that annoying tall dude cleared his throat. I finally let go and walked outside the door with my precious CD and my beautiful supplies that take the pain away. I turned back and gave him one last hug before the 2 men pulled us apart aggressively.
“ Don't worry Unique shes not gonna take you away from me!” I heard him yell as the car drove away. I felt like shit in that second. This is the worst birthday ever. I saw happy kids playing with their family at the park as we drove by. I saw couples hugging kissing laughing and having a good time. While I was having a nightmare. I was alone. Forever. I knew it because mother would never let Billy take me away so easily. My life was coming apart little by little. It was barely coming back together but no it had to coming crashing down.
“Damn it!!!” I yelled in the car not caring if these 2 men heard me.
“ Are you ok?” Asked the nice one ,John.
“ No shit! You know I just got ripped out of my brothers arms. My mother is being a witch. The girl I hate is out to destroy me and well basically im dying. Hows that sound to you!!!” I saw his cheeks turn red and I felt bad.
“ I'm sorry my life isn't such bright sunshine right now.” I apologized. He nodded. I silently put my head on the car window and my headphones in. I put the band that keeps me alive. Pierce The Veil. Now which song to choice. Ahhh Disasterologly perfect. “ Oh what a waste of a perfectly good clean wrist.” I sang to with Vic. Sadly my wrist was not perfect,clean,or good. Its scratched by my cat. My cat is my razor.
