Brady's POV
Finally the weekend was here so we got to sleep in. I didn't get up till around 11.
When I finally got up, I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I went downstairs and Dad was making pancakes, Cody and Matt were talking about football, and Addy was on her phone. Everyone else was up in their rooms.
"Hey guys." I said, coming down the stairs.
"Hey." They all said in unison.
"Brady, Nash and I have a few meetings today so we'll be gone from 12 to about 4:30." Dad said.
"Okay." I said.
He finished making the pancakes and everyone came downstairs. We ate and Dad and Nash left for their meeting.
Everything was calm, until Addy came back downstairs with her dance bag. I was on the couch with Cody and Carter watching baseball.
"Carter, can you drop me off at Victor's house?" She asked.
I clenched my fists at his name.
"I don't know...Your dad doesn't seem to like him or his Dad..." Carter said.
Good answer.
"Please?? Victor is not bad. He's nice, funny, and really polite. His dad isn't home, but he has a baby-sitter. We're just going to practice our dance routine for graduation." She said.
Carter sighed. No don't give in Carter!
"Fine, but don't tell your dad and no funny business over there." Carter said, standing up and grabbing her keys.
"You can't let her go!" I said.
Addy rolled her eyes.
"I didn't ask you, I asked Carter." She said with an attitude.
"That kid is nothing but trouble!" I said.
"Trouble? He has straight A's, the nicest kid in school, and has never been in trouble in his life."
"Dad said you can't see him." I said, glaring at her.
"Oh shut up Brady! I am tired of you being so over protective and annoying! Victor is anything BUT trouble. You just think he's trouble because he's a boy and he's nice to me!" Addy said.
"I'm supposed to be protective! I'm your brother!" I said, getting louder by the second.
"I have 2 other brothers you know!
But they aren't annoying and nosy like you!" She yelled.
"Both of you stop!" Carter said.
"Sometimes I wish you weren't my brother! I wish Dad just adopted me and Cody!" She yelled.
I was a mix of mad and hurt. She's never said that to me before...
"Fine! Go! See if I care!" I yelled.
"Fine!" She yelled back.
I glared at her and ran upstairs to my room, slamming the door.
I hate seeing my sister with a boy. What if he hurts her? Or lies to her and breaks her heart? I'd beat him up if he did. I guess I want it to be like when we were little and the only boy she wanted to be with was me. We were so close and we're always with each other. She never wanted to be apart from me and I don't wanna be away from her. But now the only boy she wants to be with is Victor.
I heard the front door close and knew Addy and Carter left.
I sat on my bed as tears fell down my face. I put my head in my hands and started crying. My sister hates me...
"Brady what's going on? You okay?" JJ said through the door. I knew everyone was out there with him.
"Go away!" I said, not wanting to talk to anyone.
I heard feel shuffle, which ment they left. I heard my door open, but I didn't look up.
"Hey. You okay?"
I didn't need to look up to know it was Cody.
"Our sister hates me and wants to be with another boy. Does that sound okay to you?" I said sarcastically.
"You're overeating. She doesn't hate you, she just got mad. But you were being overprotective. Victor isn't bad at all. He's pretty cool and I know he wouldn't hurt Addy." He said.
"How do you know? Maybe he could be a jerk just like his Dad and hurt her. What if she likes him and she breaks her heart?" I said.
"Victor told me he likes her. He said he would never hurt her. You're being overprotective. " Cody said.
"I'm her brother. It's my job." I said.
"I'm her brother too, and so is Carter. But we aren't pulling her away from every boy around her." He said.
"You don't understand. When we were little, the only boy she wanted to be with was me. We were so close and we're always with each other. She never wanted to be apart from me and I don't wanna be away from her. But now the only boy she wants to be with is Victor." I said.
"Just because I wasn't always with you guys doesn't mean I'm not protective over her. She's a girl and is gonna want to be around boys other than her brothers." He said, slightly hurt.
"It's different. She was all I had when we were toddlers. I wanted to protect her since no one else could. She only wanted to be with me and always listened to me. Then Dad adopted us and you came. It was never the same again." I said.
"Why? I came only a few months after you guys were adopted. We were only separated for 3 years." He said.
"Not the point. I jus-"
"No it is the point. You think just because Carter and I weren't always with you guys that we don't care as much or we aren't being as protective as you are." He said, getting a little mad.
"Okay maybe I do think that. But I know her better than anyone else does. I've been with her her whole life." I said.
"We were toddlers when we were adopted! All of us have changed a lot since then. I know just as much about her as you do. I love her too and I'm always gonna protect her and so is Carter and everyone else." He said.
"Not like I will..." I mumbled.
"You know what? Fine! Be like this! But Addy was right about you being overprotective and annoying! You're just being selfish!" He said.
"I am not!" I yelled.
"Then why won't you let her hang out with Victor? What did he do to you?!" He said.
"He took my sister away from me! All of you did!" I yelled, tearing falling down my face.
"Would you rather still be in an orphanage all alone?!" He said.
"I wasn't alone! I had Addy and she's all I needed!" I said.
"So you don't want me or Dad or Carter??" He asked.
"Maybe I don't! I was a whole lot happier when it was just me and Addy! Then you and everyone else came along and took Addy away from me! It's all your guys' fault!"
Cody's face fell and he looked hurt and mad.
"Now I see why Addy hates you! Cuz now I hate you too!" He yelled as tears fell down his face and he ran out of the room. I heard his door slam shut.
Now both my siblings hate me...
What have I done? I was stupid and yelled at my siblings and know they hate me. Now neither of them want me around...Maybe I'm the one who's trouble. Let's face it...I am selfish, annoying, and overprotective. No one wants me here...Dad, Carter, and the guys were fine before they adopted me. They'll probably be happier with just Addy and Cody, who now hate me and don't want me around.
I grabbed my backpack and dumped everything out. I put in some clothes and some allowance I've been saving. I looked out in the hallway and no one was out. I ran downstairs and out the front door. I started walking and didn't look back. This is what they want...No one needs me anymore...
