Hero's Brother |Bruce Wayne x OC| (WIP)

Diary's Page - April 15, 2001

I shouldn't have gone to that party when my father told me not to. I should have listened to my parents more often. I should have been a better son, not some failure.

Yesterday... They were shot yesterday. Damn Crime Alley. They were killed in front of Bruce. I am stupid. I didn't answer the first time, I couldn't hear the call because the music was too loud.

Really, when I heard Bruce crying into the phone for me to come... I ran as fast as my body would allow me. I saw bodies. I really saw them. I still see them. And Bruce saw them.

I immediately hugged him, I wanted to somehow block his view. He pushed me away. This kid pushed me away because I smelled of alcohol and tobacco. I am stupid. It shouldn't hurt me so much.

Still, I declined when I was invited to another party. Bruce is only 10 years old. He hasn't slept since yesterday. He hasn't eaten anything since yesterday. I can't leave him with Alfred, I'm his older brother.

Now I'm sober. I washed myself using three different shower gels and washed my hair with two shampoos. I even took my mother's perfume, even though I've never done that. I'm going crazy.

At least Alfred is trying to act normal. He answered my question about the smell of alcohol on my breath, as if he didn't smell chocolate, strawberries, vanilla, coconuts, or my mother's perfume at all.

I'm going to Bruce's room right away. I'll stay with him all night. I will force him to sleep, even if I have to lie next to him and cuddle him like a baby.

If my friends found out about this, they would laugh at me. Especially Kate. Maybe I should break up with her...? I love her, but she's definitely not the type of person I would invite to meet my brother.
