Unwanted

Chapter 2

Today, June 1 my brother taught me how to bike, the bike my mom gave me for my 10th birthday. We use it for our transportation. I sit in a chair hooked to the back. A black Ferrari passed stopped right in front of us. He stepped down from his car, took of his shades and asked if I was who I was and who my brother was who he was. He said he was my dad. I just held my brother tightly. My "dad" was thinking I would hug him for leaving us for a long time, but no. My "dad" wrapped up and gave us this brown envelope, and left.

I parked my bike and ran to my brother and asked what is inside. He said it was a contract for us to sign so that we won't be his kids, officially. The whole time me and my brother kept thinking, do we want to be officially abandoned? Well, for dinner I heated up cup noodles, poured iced tea and sat on the floor with Aki.

"So, are we?" I asked.

"Do you want to be officially abandoned?"

"I don't know, at least I have you." I said. "Together forever, do not leave one another, forever and ever. Pinky promise?"

"Pinky promise." He said and gave me a hug.

We called my "ex-dad" to tell him to pick up the papers, the next day he arrived, I "feel asleep" because I did not want to see his face. My brother handed it and said, "Its officially a goodbye." And led my "dad" outside.

"So, what do you want to do?" Aki asks.

"I want to write a letter to mom and ask her how is she, do you think she will reply?" I said.

"Okay, but I bet it will take a very very long time when she replies."

"Of course." Then we both shared a laugh.

That night Aki was pushing, screaming and woke me up. He said his stomach hurt, really bad. I got the yellow dress flowing outside the garage, put my brother on the seat at the back, and tried my best to bike.

While biking I was praying that this wont be bad. Losing my brother is the alpha and the omega if my life. He was the only thing I had.

We arrive at the hospital, my brother got an x-ray.

"He has LBM and amebiasis. He has to stay in the hospital for a couple weeks."

"Do you how much it costs?"

"A couple thousands."

My heart stopped beating. I could hear other people breathing except me. Well it better than losing my brother. So I thanked him went to my brothers room, and cried. 'What can I do to help him heal?' I asked my self. Suddenly, someone tapped my back and said it was okay. I looked up, a boy smiling at me. He wiped my tears, and gave me a hug.

"I thought I would lose you."

"Nah, I'm just fine it's just that it hurts. Come on, time to go to bed."

He moved to the side then tapped the other side. I got up, crawled beside him, I gave him a "Power Hug" to make him feel better.

[a few weeks later.]

My brother biked for me and I sat at the back as usual. It was a time to celebrate because it was mother dearest's birthday today! It was her 36th birthday today. We usually spend it going to a hotel for an overnight stay, that was nice. But now since we can't afford one, I suggested to go to Disney Land. A place where all your problems go away.

I saw Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Peter Pan and many more. When you ride the rides, you won't feel your heart anymore. It was worth going. When we got home, I gave my brother his medicines, watched tv and heated up these Mickey Mouse chicken nuggets we got at Disney.

After that I pulled out this drawer we have for our books. I only have 5 and 4 of them are Judy Moody books, and that one specific book that I did not really understand without a dictionary, The Fault in our Stars by John Green. But it's still beautiful. Still stuck on Chapter 11 and can't get the words but its okay. My brothers books are practically mystery, morbid and humor.

"Oh why we are waiting so long I'm suffocating." The song of the Saturdays. "What About us." Me and my brothers theme song. I guess. While I was cleaning, I saw my Mckenna Brooks doll. It was a gift from my mom a week before the crash. I got the doll, combed her hair and put her on the bed.

Living without a mom or dad is hard. You won't notice that because of course you have both. During family day we go with out a family just a sibling. When we walk, eyes all around. When teachers tell you, "Parents signature required." When you tell them "What if we don't have parents." And when they reply, "Any guardian ?" And you nod but inside your heart is pumping to ask your smoking aunt and drunk uncle.

I look into the small fridge, just Holly's milk, a jar of pickles, water, root beer and a tub of Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream. I say to my self, no. Too much calories. I check the cabinets, a box of cereals, gummy bears, Oreos and a dead cockroach. I pick the cereals, low-fat cereals. Opened the box, placed some cereal in my hand and shoved it into my mouth. Then somebody knocked on the "door" I tried to swallow my cereals as fast as I can.

"Hello?" I asked with my mouth filled with low-fat cereal.

"Open the "door". It was Aki.

"Oh sorry." I said with my emptied mouth.

"You want to go to the mall today? I earned money today."

"Yes please." I said. We hopped on my bike then parked at Century mall. I ran to forever 21, bought this blue cropped- top tribal shirt. My brother was waiting out side. After my brother went to the department store and bought new pants. While I just sat at the bras and panties section. After that, we ate a early dinner at McDonald's. After that we went home took a bath then fixed the closet. I noticed that I only had ten t-shirts/ tops, 3 pants and 2 shorts, 2 pajamas and 2 pairs of shoes and 1 pair of slippers. Well as for my brother, we had the same amount of clothes including the shirt and pants we bought a while ago.
