A Different Kind of Pain

Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

"You want bacon with your eggs, May?" my mom asked me as she showed me the plate of the delicious bacon.

"Yeah,sure,thanks!" I said grabbing a piece of the bacon. It was so peaceful and quiet when my brother wasn't in the room. It was just my mom, my sister,and me. My brother is bipolar. Sometimes, the day goes on as normal and there is no screaming or yelling from my brother throwing a tantrum and other times, it seems as if the day would never end. I am 15 years old and my sister Taylor is 17 years old and my wonderful brother,Kyle, is 14 years old.

"WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP DAD?!?! I WAS SLEEPING!!!!" there he goes again. This is what I have to deal with almost every single day. Every single night, kyle goes into our room and turns on the lights and wakes us up. Don't ask me why he does this, but he does and it annoys the crap out of me!

"Just come downstairs Kyle. I'm not in the mood," I heard my dad say in his annoyed voice. Gosh, I feel bad for my dad. He is so calm about the whole thing. On the other hand, my mom will yell and scream at Kyle, but he never listens.

"Why does Kyle always have to do this everyday?" Taylor asked. She can be very in denial about Kyle because he doesn't want a bad reputation.

"You know why, Taylor." I uttered. Taylor is a popular girl. She has all the guys, a ton of friends and she is beautiful! With her long, brunette hair and long skinny legs, she just walks around gracefully like a ballerina. I, on the other hand, am normal. I have long, dirty blonde hair and long legs and a short body. I don't feel pretty at all, especially when Kyle calls me ugly or fat.

I am going into the 10th grade and Taylor is going into the 12th. I have some friends and some guys like me, but not many. I have pretty good grade, mostly just As and Bs. I hate being compared to Taylor, she is perfect.

Today is the first day of school. I am very excited because I am in all the same classes as my best friend, Amber. Amber is the best person in the world. She is always there for me, even though sometimes I am mean to her. She is...how do I say this... Goth. I don't particularly like the goth style, but I have learned to accept it. The weird thing is that she has light, yellow hair and she chooses to be goth! She wears a lot of black make up and black clothes. Surprisingly, she's not one of those punk, goth people who don't talk to anyone other then goth people. Basically, she's goth on the outside, but the total opposite on the inside.

I tell Amber everything. Even the stuff about Kyle. She has one brother who is her twin named Jeremiah. He is drop dead gorgeous, and he look exactly like Amber. But she would kill me if I ever liked him. The weird thing is, is that Amber has all the guys, which is odd because she's goth, but I'm not here to judge.

I heard Kyle thumping down the stairs, screaming. Dad came in first, rolling his eyes.

"I'm outta hear," Taylor said, frowning,"you need a ride May?"

"Sure, thanks!" I said grabbing my bag, with a piece of bacon in my mouth. Taylor and I went out the door, saying goodbye to our parents. As I looked back, I saw Kyle sitting on the steps crying. He does this everyday.

When we got to the car, I saw Taylor shed a tear.

"What's wrong Tay?" I asked her wondering why she was crying.

"It's nothing."

"You know me better then that, Tay. What's wrong?!"

"I'm just sick of this happening every single morning. It gets to much. I can't take it sometimes,"she said sobbing. I hear Taylor crying sometimes in her room after there is a big scene from Kyle. I always want to go into her room and comfort her, but I never do.

"It's okay, Taylor. He's taking medicine now. He will get better soon! Well, at least I hope." Kyle just started taking these pills that is supposed to calm him down when he is having an anxiety attack, which is almost everyday.

"I know, but what if it doesn't work? Kyle is getting violent. When he gets older and stronger, we won't be able to fight him off! Especially dad, he is getting older and weaker. I just don't wanna loose him." Taylor started driving out of the driveway. I didn't say anything else. I felt like if I said anything, I would start crying. It just gets hard dealing with him. I understand how she feels.

We got to the school parking lot and Taylor dropped me off at the door.

"Thanks Tay!" I said shutting the car door. Here I am, at school, again. I walked into the school door and to my locker. Amber has a locker 3 down from me, so I'm happy. I saw amber right at my locker, waiting.

"May! I missed you so much!" Her face lit up when she saw me. I love amber! She is the best friend anyone can have!

"I missed you too! How was your summer?!"

"It was fantastic! I went to England for most of the summer and that was fun! How was yours?"

"It was ok. We went to Florida for a week, but that's about it."

"How is your brother?" she asked quietly. She's knows not to talk about him loud because I don't want anyone knowing because they will think I have a problem too. I would hate that because I am NOT bi polar!

"He is pretty much the same. We are giving him medicine. Hopefully that'll work a little." She just looked down not saying anything for a while.

"Yeah, well let's get to class." she said awkwardly. Let's hope this day is a good one.
