MIRACLE (✔️)

14: Horrible Realization

Chapter 14

-Damion Astor-

"How many times do I have to say this? I don't know where she is! Now do you mind? I've had a long day and I want to go home."

Before my brother could take a step, I quickly grabbed hold of his arm stopping him, he quickly looked at me with an annoyed look on his face that quickly dropped as soon as he saw my scowl.

"No one is going home, not until we find our sister."

"That little shit is not my sister." Corbin hissed, his face was showing nothing but hate.

At that moment, I realized just how much the twins and I poisoned our youngest brother's mind. After dad died, the twins basically installed in his mind that everything that happened to our mom was Mira's fault and as his eldest brother and guardian I know just how much he looks up to me, Corbin saw just how much I hated our sister. And now he's just doing the same thing we did. It's not his fault. It's mine.

I feel like shit right now, but I have to worry about the most pressing matter at the moment. My little sister is missing. I told her that I would be the one who's going to pick her up after her classes, but it's already been an hour and I already searched the entire school but she's not there.

"There must be someone who knows where she went." I let out a heavy sigh.

Mira always follows my rules, she won't just leave like this without permission especially knowing that I'm going to pick her up. This is not like her at all. What if something happened to her? I know she's still not well to go back to school, I should've fucking stopped her. Maybe this is also because of what's troubling her that she still hasn't told me yet?

My mind keeps on coming up with different scenarios, each one keeps getting worse than the other.

Stay focused, Damion!

"Do you know any of her friends?" I asked. Surely they'll know.

"That little shit doesn't have any friends." Corbin snorted.

"What do you mean she doesn't have any friends?" My eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

That doesn't sound right. Everyone has friends, even at least one or two, even someone who's a cold, calculating, jerk like me has friends.

"She's the school's outcast. No one would be friends with that girl." He replied as he nonchalantly shrugged as if it's the most normal thing in the world.

My heart broke in two hearing this new information about our sister.

At first I felt horrible and sad knowing that our sister doesn't even have a single fucking friend, and then it quickly turned into anger as I started to connect everything since she started acting completely odd.

I came to a horrible realization.

"What the--- Corbin, answer me truthfully, is our sister being bullied in this school?!"

"So what if she is? She deserves everything that's been happening to her and more!" He exclaimed.

As soon as Corbin said that, it took all of me to restraint myself from knocking the shit out of him. I continued to remind myself that Corbin is my little brother.

The weight of the realization settled on me like a leaden blanket. My little sister is being bullied. The thought of her being targeted, belittled, and made to feel small, filled me with a rage I couldn't articulate.

But feeling this way, especially me if all people, is truly hypocritical, isn't it? Since Mira was a baby, I, myself, have targeted, belittled, and already hurt her with my words and actions for something that she doesn't even know, that isn't even her fault.
