Why Me? A Bratayley Fanfic || Thewriterbre

Chapter 15

*Caleb's POV*

I get settled in my room, and lay on my bed that's smashed up against the wall. I think for awhile, and decide to clean up the room. My uncle-in-law comes in, and helps me until my aunt calls him. "Yikes" he says, and I laugh. I continue to clean the room, then take out the garbage, only to see later it filled back up. "Ugh" I let out, then go to ask my uncle when dinner will be ready. "Maybe 30 minutes", he says and I sigh. "What are we going to have?" "Fish and brussel sprouts" he says. I try to fake a yum, hoping he wouldn't find out I despise both if those foods. Dinner time comes around, and my aunt calls me down. "Ok, I will be right down!" I yell back to her. I hear foot steps, thinking its someone coming upstairs to get something, only to see it is my aunt. "Do NOT yell at me mister!" I let out a meek "I'm sorry", then rush downstairs to dinner. I stall, trying not to eat, but afraid to ask if I can have anything else or to be excused from the table."Eat your dinner!" my aunt screams at me. I shove it down, trying not to gag, then put my plate in the sink and rush back to my room. I call my dad, and ask him if I can come home. "Caleb, first of all, you need to learn to be nice to your sister, this is ridiculous how you're acting! Second of all, I can come get you. I'm with Hayley, and mommy is out of state with Annie." "Why?" I ask quietly, not wanting anyone to know I'm making a phone call. "I hate to tell you this Caleb, but your cousin, Fauser, died two hours ago." I start to shake, knowing he is serious by his tone. Fauser was my best friend, he's helped me through so much, I don't even know what to do. "Dad, are you still there?" "Yea, I am" "Can you maybe get Nonni to watch Hayley, please?" You know how much Fauser means to me, and I want to go to his funeral." "Ok, I'll call you back." "Ok, thanks so much dad, I love you." "I love you too son" And we say out goodbyes. About 15 minutes later, dad calls back and says he is on his way. "Thanks so much dad, you don't know how much this means to me." "Yea, I do." he says as I hear him start to cry. "It's ok, ill see you soon. "See you soon", he tells me, and with that the phone call ends. I don't know what to do now. I decide to pack up my stuff. Once I'm done with that, I see a knife in my vision, and pick it up. My hand starts to tremble, and I drag it across my wrist. I start to cry, and dab my wrist with a cloth. My aunt calls up to me, "Caleb, your dad is here" "Thanks" I fade out. Making sure to pull down my sleeves, I take my stuff and walk downstairs, to see my dad and aunt talking. I can hear my aunt whisper, "Yea, he's been up in his room a lot, and I don't know what's wrong with him." "Ok, thanks" my dad replies, and then we travel back home.
