As I sit on the couch in front of my smiling parents, it's getting harder to hide my smile."Well? Mommy, Daddy, you can't leave me hanging, here! What's up?" They turn to each other and then back at me.
My dad starts first. "Well Winter....." his words trail off leaving me in more suspense, until my mom speaks. "Me and your father have a surprise for you..."
I can no longer contain my smile after that, I love I live for them. They're always amazing.
My dad speaks up. "Your mom's pregnant!" I gasp. "You're gunna be a big sister!" My mom says through a smile.
I squeal and run over to them. "Really?" They nod at the same time. "Yay! I'm gunna be the best big sister ever! I'm gunna love that baby for the rest of my life! And on and on and on! Hey, I'll probably even love them in the after life!"
My mom laughs and my dad picks me up spinning me around in air with my laughter and screams filling the air.
"Well, you're very responsible for a nine year old, so I trust you to love and take care of him." My mom says and it clicks.
"A-a.... "Him"? I-I'm having a baby brother! I'm having a baby brother!"
My smile so wide my cheeks hurt, my smiles so wide it couldn't hide it if I tried, my smile so wide all my teeth are showing, well all the ones I have, three of my teeth fell out, mommy said the tooth fairy would came to pick them up, she did and I got a whole ten bucks!
...
It's been three months since my little brother, Caleb was born he's so cute, with green eyes like my dad. Sorry- our dad.
(A/n how her little brother looks)
I'll have to get used to saying that.
In an hour I was going to see my new friend, my actual first friend, he helped me against some bully's he's really pretty.
Brown hair, amber eyes, the only downside is-
He's a boy! And everyone knows boys are disgusting and have cooties! But, since he's my best friend I'm nice to him, he's nice too. Sometimes when I see him his shirt rides up and I'll see that his skin is purple, I think he's a merman I'm bringing a water bottle to spray him, so I can prove my theory.
I wanted to see Caleb, but mommy said he was sleeping, but that was an hour ago so he should be up now!
I slowly open the door to his nursery and see him in his crib sleeping soundly.
I smile to myself. That's my little brother. I'll protect him from bully's. I'll make him feel safe. I'll make him happy and I'll make him feel so loved he'll be suffocated in my love!
I walk to his crib and give him a soft kiss on his forehead.
And then a scream sounds and crying following soon after.
I'm not shocked though, at school my teacher said that baby's will do this sometimes and it's a good thing to rock them.
So slowly I pick him up in my arms supporting his head just like how mommy told me- well she yelled at me saying "Don't hold him like that, brat! You'll hurt him! Support his head, you imbecile!"
That hurt my feelings, but my teacher said that usually after birth mom's are usually stressed and scared for their baby, and that she probably acted the same way when I was born, to my dad, so I wasn't mad.
I begin to rock him slowly repeating "Shh, shhh, it's ok, it's just me your older sister." I go to place another soft kiss on his forehead, before I can he's snatched away from me and I turn seeing my parents looking at me angrily.
I look up at them confused. I didn't do anything, I was trying to help, why are they angry at me?
"What did you do my pride and joy!?" My mom yells at me.
What did I do? Nothing, I was trying to help! "Mommy, I didn't do anything, I gave him a kiss on his forehead and then he started crying, so I tried to rock him, I didn't do anything-"
My voice comes out small and quiet, I wanted it to sound loud and clear, like my friends when he protected me from those mean bully's.
My dad speaks up his voice of, anger, outrage, and shock. "You touched him?" He grabs my arm roughly, it hurts, he's grabbing me really hard. "You fucking brat! You have no right to touch our pride and joy!"
Pride and joy? I repeat in my head over and over again. I was their pride and joy. They said it to me before! Why are they saying it like I'm not their pride and joy anymore?
I feel tears well in my eyes. Daddy's never cursed at me. Ever.
My mom continues making sure Caleb's ok. what about me? Does she not she how hard daddy's grabbing me? See the tears falling down my face?
Does she not see any of it?"You need a punishment!" My dad yells and I tense up. I've never had a punishment, never needed one, I've always been good. My parents said I was their angel.
He drags me to a closet and literally throws me in it.
I can't see anything with my tears falling from my eyes and when I do, it's too late my mom hands the key to my dad and the closet door shuts.
I can't see anything. It's so dark. I'm screaming begging to be let out.
"Please! Please I won't touch him again! Let me out please! Please! Let me out!" I screamed and I screamed and I begged and I begged.
I did it until I couldn't breathe anymore the tears kept falling, I placed my hand on my chest my breaths were coming in quick and rough but all I could see was darkness.
It terrified me. I didn't know what was happening. I was scared and alone. I couldn't breathe and I didn't know what was happening but I knew I hated it. It happened until I felt my body go limp and my close and I'm after that I don't know what happened.
