Brother's Best Friend

Reunited

I take a deep breath as I knock on my brother's door. It's been 3 years since I've seen him. The door swings open and I am greeted by the face of my shocked brother.

"Kenna?!" He embraces me in a hug. "I haven't seen you in forever." He says as he pulls me in his house.

"I know JP I am so sorry of how I left Mom, Dad, and you!" I respond apologetically.

"You're my sister, I couldn't stay mad at you. So what happened to you and Braxton?" He says questionly as he looks at my bruised arms.

"He was abusive, but I left him" I say quietly, knowing he'll freak out. I was right, a fire immediately appeared in his eyes.

"What? Where does he live?" He asks furiously.

"JP he's not worth your time." I plead.

He nods knowing I don't want him to get involved with Braxton.
"Well let me help you unpack" He says as he stands up.

"What?" I say shocked.

"Well I'm assuming now you don't have somewhere to live, so you're moving in with me." He says as he walks out the door.

"What?" I say again shocked.

"Hey I'm not letting my lil sis be homeless." He says as he starts unloading the back of my jeep. I laugh and help him. JP walks up the stairs and to the last room.

"We have this extra room, so it's fine if you stay." He says as he throws my bags in the room.

"Wait, what do you mean by we?" I ask as I sit on the bed.

"I share this house with part of my crew; Kells and Slim." He sits by me. "But, don't worry, they won't care." He reassures me.

I nod and start to unpack. JP's phone buzzes and he gets up.

"Hey I'll be right back I got to go pick up Kells. Can I borrow your jeep?" He asks.

I nod and throw the keys to him.
