In the Morning

This morning I woke up pretty early. I was excited to see my brother at brunch. I got up and I chose to wear a comfy pair of sweatpants with a Nike hoodie. I put on some Jordans. I did my makeup and curled my hair I just had to wait for my brother to come and pick me up I waited and then I finally got the text I ran downstairs with my phone and my wallet he drove me to this nice Bistro restaurant it was a lovely couple that owned it from France my brother said that the food is extraordinary here and he would come a lot here in the morning before training.

We got out of the car and walked to The Bistro. An old lady greeted us. She knew Pedro and they had a little conversation. Pedro told me to take a table in the front and I did just that. The bistro had a nice view of the stadium. I understood why Pedri would come here in the morning. It was really easy to get from The Bistro to the stadium; it only took a minute of walking.

My brother came to join me a couple of minutes later. We sat down ordered our food and I asked him the first question.

"Why is dad in jail" he looked at me and he did not seem like he wanted to answer but that's what we were here for.

"When you and mom left he drank more and more. I didn't know he could drink that much but he did and he was really abusive. I got tired of getting hit so I ran away to the police. He got arrested and I went to live with some friends. When he got out he kidnapped my girlfriend that I had at the time and he almost killed her. He got caught and now he's in jail for a long time."

I looked at him horrified that someone could do that to someone, especially my brother. He has always been the sweetest and I could not imagine how he felt.

" But i did not bring you here to talk about sad stuff i want you to come to training today, its saturday so you don't have work right"

"yea im free and i would love to go" I smiled and we finished eating and went to the stadium he brought me to the changing rooms to see all of the guys.
