Don't Forget Where You Belong | Jemi

Episode 5

"Nick be grateful for you have, we don't have enough money to buy you the new I phone." Denise lectured setting a plate down in front of her second eldest son but third child. Nick huffed picking his fork up beginning to eat his dinner. He would continue to argue until he got what he wanted because of how he had been raised. All Denise's children were like it but she knew it was because her and their father had spoilt them throughout the years.

"Demi always gets what she wants, I bet it's cause she's the only girl!" Nick argues Demi shaking her head kicking him from under the table.

"We brought you that phone not long ago Nick, you'll have to learn and save up your own money to get the new phone if that's what you really want." Paul warned.

"I haven't had a new phone since my last upgrade." Demi boasted sticking her tongue out at her younger brother. Denise sighed shaking her head gently. She often wondered what she did wrong, she thought she was a good mother and she knew Paul was a good father to then. They were just so ungrateful at times and she couldn't help but blame herself, for giving them everything they wanted when they were growing up. She just wanted them to be happy.

"Demi may be my baby girl but she doesn't get treated anymore than any of you boys, Frankie is the youngest but we don't treat him anymore." Denise stated.

"Take back the X-Box you gave him then and give it to me and Kevin." Nick mumbled but the parents just chose to ignore him.

Demi was laid on her bed later on that night revising for her exams that were coming up soon. She would be going into senior year next year and couldn't wait to just leave school. She was sure teaching was what she wanted to do but kindergarten teaching. She has always loved little kids and knew one day she wanted to be a mother but at the moment she just needed to knuckle down and get the results she was predicted which were high already. Demi was soon interrupted by her younger but not youngest brother storming in snatching her phone from her hands as she texted her best friend. She shot up following him out the door seeing him holding in over the banister.

"Nick give me my phone back!" Demi demanded but Nick shook his head.

"No! Maybe if I drop your phone we'll both get new ones!" Nick exclaims.

"Nick stop being ungrateful and give me my phone back, you were the last one to get a phone. It's not our fault you broke it already!" Demi exclaimed but Nick made no effort to move from where he was. "Mom, dad! Nick's being ignorant!"

"Nick what are you doing?!" Denise demanded to know as she stared up at him from the bottom of the stairs his wife soon joining him.

"I want a new phone! If you don't give me one then Demi's phone gets dropped!" Nick demanded Demi sighing leaning against the doorframe of her room.

"Nick if you drop that phone then not only do you not get a new phone you will be paying for Demi's new phone and she can have your perfectly fine phone until you do so." Paul demanded.

"I will do no such thing!" Nick shouted.

"You will young man if you don't stop now and give Demi her phone back, she's the one who's studying and doing her homework like you should be doing." Denise urged but they all watched as Nick dropped the phone it landing on the floor right near Denise and Paul's feet shattering into large pieces. It couldn't be saved.

"Right young man get down here now!" Paul demanded harshly.

"Not before I kill him!" Demi screeched leaping on Nick.
