Riptide (sequel, keaton stromberg)

Chapter 1; Relapse and Realization

Keatons P.O.V

I woke up to the sound of yelling, I looked to my left and saw the clock, 5:03 AM. Its way to early for this shit, its even worse considering i've woken up now or even earlier for the past month or two.

"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU EVEN DO THIS AGAIN?" I heard Drew yell from downstairs.

I heard Wesley say something but I couldnt make it out.

"THIS NEEDS TO STOP. YOU NEED TO STOP. WE ALL NEED TO CHANGE" I heard Drew yell.

I sighed and went downstairs to only smell the familiar smell that I dreaded to smell.

(A/N: lol tongue twister xD)

I looked over to the couch to see Wesley stoned as balls, just sitting there giggling.

"He did it again Keats.. he did it again" Drew said as he paced in circles.

I groaned loudly and looked at Wesley.

"Why?" I whispered.

Wesley noticed my presence and looked at me.. His mood changed, and he looked angry.

"You." He growled as he raced towards me.

He grabbed my shoulders and slammed me against a wall.

"You did this to us." He whispered to me as he pushed me against the wall so I couldnt move.

"Hey! LEAVE HIM ALONE." Drew yelled as he started to go towards us.

"Gladly." Wesley said as a devilish smirk appeared on his face.

The last thing I saw was Wesley balling his fist then it sprialing towards my face.

I woke up to the sound of yelling, again.

I peared at the clock but I was to dizzy to even see what it said.

"WHY WONT YOU TELL ME." Drew yelled.

"I.. I just..Its nothing.." Wesley said barely able to speak.

"Look Wes, you come home every night high, you dont tell me anything anymore, and you hurt your lil bro earlier. Its something." Drew said trying to calm down.

"Please..." Wesley said sadly.

"Im sorry bro. But If you dont change now. Im out. No more Emblem3."

Those words stung me.

If you didnt know, Emblem3 is a band that were in.

Me, Drew, Wesley, and our two friends Kenny and Kyle.

I mean, we arent big or anything, but we've gotten a few gigs. And I know we all enjoy it more than anything.

"Why would you take away the only thing I love in this world, music. I need you bro. I'll tell you later today, just not at the moment. I love you too though bro." Wesley said as he sighed.

Way to include me Wesley. I know he hates me, but im his real brother! He shouldnt hate me. And He wont even speak to me!?! Its just ridiculous.

"Broment!" Drew said loudly as they both chuckled.

"I'll help you get through this. Come on. Lets go out." He said, I could even hear his voice loosen up as he smiled.

I heard the ringing of keys and footsteps going further away from me.

Did they seriously forget about me?

I tried to cough to get there attention but it didnt even come out.

Lovely.

I laid there for about an hour or two trying to gain my full conciousness when I heard my phone ring.

I stuck my hand into my pocket and got it out.

"Alexandria" I whispered as I answered the phone.

"Where are you?, I've been looking for you all around the hallways and 2nd periods about to start!" She said anxiously.

"I know youre at s..school.. but can you..co..come to my ho..house. I need help." I barely choked out.

"Oh my gosh. Okay, I'll be there soon" She said sounding worried.

I sighed and tried to stand up, which I managed, but I was weak.

I slowly stumbled into the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

"Holy. Fucking. Shit." I said as I traced the big purple bruise along my eye. My eye was also red puffy and swollen, along with my lip being cut and puffy with dried blood all around my face.

After about 5 minutes,

I heard the door slam open then I heard Alex call my name.

"Umm one second." I said as I panicked. I couldnt tell her that this was from Wesley. I just couldnt. I looked around and scraped my mind for an accuse. Skating was the only decent idea so I went along with it.

I walked out of the bathroom and went by the couch to see her looking at the dried blood and hole in the wall. Oops. Didnt even realize that.

"Keaton, whats with all the- OH MY GOD YOUR FACE!" She shrieked as she turned and saw me.

"Fell off my board last night on a late night skate sesh." I said trying to sound as reasonable as possible.

"Are you sure? Then why is that there?" She said pointing the the wall and floor.

"Oh, I passed out when I fell, and Drew put me down there, and Wesley flipped out when he saw me and like punched the wall. No biggy." I said as I giggled.

Stay calm. I thought to myself as I let out a deep breath of relief.

"You sure?" She asked one again.

"Mhm" I said as I smiled but soon regretted it because it sent pain through my whole cheek.

"Youre lying." She said as she stared at me.

"No, I actually am not" I said sounding a little more harsh than I planned.

"Uh, Yeah you are." She said getting a bit angry.

"Nope" I said getting angry too. Why doesnt she trust me?

"Um. Yeah. You are." She said with a bitchy tone. What has gotten into her?

"IF YOU CANT EVEN TRUST ME, THEN WHATS THE POINT OF ALL OF THIS?" I yelled as I looked at her.

She gasped and took a step back.

"Leave." I said as I sighed.

"Wh..what?" She said confussed.

"I SAID LEAVE." I screamed as I sat on the couch.

She quickly went out the door.

After that, I realized what just happend.

I whimpered and took a few deep breathes and just thought.

I sat up and sang what came to my mind.

"I take back every word that I said"

I sang quietly to myself as I grabbed my gutair that was laying next to the couch.

"Forget it, I take it back. I was just a stupid kid back then. I take back every word I said."

I sang as I strummed my gutair.

"Its true.." I whispered as I gasped and cupped my mouth. Uh oh.. This cant be good.

A/N: What do you think Keatons talking about? or is he just delusional?

What do you think is up with Wes?
