The War Called Love

Chapter 2

Later that night Kyle was curled up in my lap as we were watching scary movies for Halloween, but halfway through the first movie he fell asleep. Gosh do I hate when he does that, but this time I didn't mind it.I enjoyed it. Why? Why am I enjoying this? He's my little brother. This is stupid it's just a faze and that's it. Just because I'm enjoying my brother being asleep on my lap doesn't mean anything. Then my mom walked in the front door calling for Kyle. Thanks for saving me mom! I shoved Kyle so he would wake up, but I forgot how light he was and by accident I shoved him off my lap. I quickly got up and hugged him saying I'm sorry. Mom started to stare at me and so did Kyle. I just realized I've never said sorry to my brother. I just started to panic. u-uh. I stuttered. I couldn't think of an excuse. My mind went blank. So I just ran to my bedroom, locked the door, and closed all the blinds. I needed darkness. I need quite. I needed time to think.
That was weird. I whispered after I watched Johnnie run to his room. My mom nodded in agreement.  She then started to go on and on and on about Halloween costumes. Asking what I was going to be. If I had the costume. If I needed to go out and get one. If I wanted any special candy. Man I wish I could have just told her to shut up but one she is my mom and two it's a holiday so I want to be extra good just incase if I get a prize. After my mom was done asking me a bazillion questions I wrote down the candy I wanted and I then told her I already bought my costume and it will be a surprise. She just smiled and walked upstairs to her room. I'm so happy she believed that. She should know that when ever I say it's a surprise and it's something I bought. It's never good. She'll probably figure it out later.

~half hour later~

I finished watching the movie by myself. It wasn't fun at all. I was cold and uncomfortable. I wish that Johnnie would have came out of his room so I could just curl up into a ball in his lap. I have to admit I am really worried about Johnnie. He hasn't left his room in a long time. He didn't even leave to grab his phone and that says a lot. I was just about to go check on him but something distracted me. I turned around to what my ears have told me to listen to. It was Johnnies phone. I walked over cautiously not knowing if anyone will walk around the corner. I pick the phone up gently and pushed the lock button in. With what I saw on the screen made me feel like someone shot me in the heart. It was a picture of Shannon. No not any normal picture of her but a picture of her in just her underwear! I slammed the phone back on the table and just ran right up to my bedroom and slammed the door shut. I sat on my bed and started to cry. I had this weird feeling inside of me. I had it before.  I had it when I saw Shannon talking to Johnnie.  Jealousy. I whispered.  I then turned off all my lights, shut all the blinds,climbed into my bed and cried myself to sleep.

~next morning~

Once I woke up all I saw was darkness. But in the corner of my eye I saw light. Light shining through a crack in my blinds. I decided to get up and open the blinds. It wasn't a smart idea since the bright lights blinded me. I decided to make my favorite breakfast meal. Pancakes. I've never made pancakes by myself before so this will be an adventure.  I opened my door and quietly walked downstairs since everyone was still asleep.  I finally reached the kitchen and got all the ingredients and utensils needed,but as I lifted a pan up onto the table something fought my attention. Johnnies phone. He still hasn't come out of his room.
