My brother.. The pervert.

"I love you"

I woke up, this time without any interruption, to be honest with you, I'm kind of worried now, Desmond would always wake me up in his clumsy ways, I should see if he's ok..

I got up from my comfy soft bed squinting my eyes from the light, it's like an angel by my window, it's so bright! I walked to the bathroom then washed my face and brushed my teeth, I went out and decided to speak to Desmond now, I am way to worried.

I headed towards Desmond's room and knocked.. There was no answer, I knocked again but even harder, what going on?!

"Ohh shut the fuck up already!" Desmond shouted, I sighed. I don't think I'll be able to speak to him today.. It's rare that he's in this type of mood, wonder why though..

I skipped to my room to get ready for college, I skimmed my closet finally finding my outfit for today, it was a peach knee length dress with black tights to match with my leather coat, and of course, I wore converse. I headed downstairs, to my surprise I saw Desmond preparing breakfast.. Since when did he do breakfast? Ok, I'm worried. I have to speak to him today no matter what, he's acting fishy. I walked towards him

"Desmond.. Are you ok? You've been acting kind of strange this morning.." I said crossing my fingers that he won't shout at me.

"I'm ok.. " he said sighing, he looked upset about something

"Are you sure Desmond?" I said giving him a worried look

"Ok.. Don't laugh or I'll beat the living shit out of you.. Ok.. So.. One of the girls said I looked.. Ugly" he said while fiddling with his fingers, I was actually shocked that any girl would say that to him, he looked good

"Desmond, you are not ugly at all, she's blind, I bet guys would turn gay for you" I said, I didn't know what else to say but he is not ugly at all, I didn't know that he'd feel like this.. I didn't know any boy would feel like this.

"Are you sure? I mean, seriously, I've never been rejected" he said, doesn't he know he looks good? He's very popular and all the girls would run after him, just because of this one girl he gets all sensitive.. Not like him at all.

"Yes Desmond I'm sure, you are so popular, why? Because you look good" I said to him, he looked at me with a sad smile, I never new he cared a lot about his looks

"By the way.. Sorry for shouting at you" he said apologizing,

"It's fine Desmond.. what are you making?" I said curiously looking at the pan filled with batter,

"Oh, I'm making pancakes" he said, I didn't want to hurt his feelings by saying I ate them yesterday, he made the pancakes thin, it turned out to be crepes.

Desmond prepared the plates and set them on the table, I sat down where he served my plate which was right next to him, wow, he just really seems different, I kind of like this change.. A lot. I smiled to myself thinking how kind he became. I started to eat, Surprisingly it tasted wonderful! I glimpsed towards Desmond, he seems anxious, is he still upset about that girl? Desmond caught me looking

"What's wrong Ruby?" He said, he turned his face expression into a grin followed by a wink.. What's wrong with him? Why's he acting like this?! Is he flirt- I shook my head, no, what kind of stupid thoughts am I having, he is just messing around.

".. You um just seemed anxious.. Are you still upset about what she said..?" I managed to say, why am I worrying? I shouldn't worry. Ugh Ruby, you're worrying about nothing.

"I'm fine Ruby.. " he whispered as he brushed his fingers on my cheek, I quickly pushed his hand away and ran outside going to the nearest park, I sat on the bench remembering what happened, why did he act like this?? Doesn't it seem disgusting? Even if he's joking around.. I think I'm just overreacting, he's just trying to feel better after what happened right? Sigh I need to pull myself together, he is the only brother I have. I can't afford to lose him too..

I walked back home straightening myself, he is my brother, he would not ever do anything bad, he is just your brother I kept repeating to myself, I finally arrived opening the door, Desmond wasn't there, phew. I got my helmet and went outside hopping on my motorbike, i hope Desmond doesn't feel bad about what he did.. It was my fault for running away, I should have just told him to stop if I didn't feel comfortable..

I rode my motorbike enjoying the fresh breeze, I finally arrived after the long ride.

I took a deep breath then entered the hallway filled with students as always, I pushed my way through suffocating in the heavy smell of perfume, I have reached my locker after what seemed like a swarm of bees. I headed towards my classroom and entered the empty room, why is it always empty when I come? I sighed and sat on my desk clearing my head from all the tension. The door slammed open revealing the one and only.. Blake! I forgot! Oh I'm so in trouble with him! I can't belive I forgot what happend yesterday, I should have come prepared! I took out my book pretending to read, I was so nervous, anything could happen!

Pheeeewy! Nothing bad happened during class, Blake didn't do anything to me at all.. But it doesn't mean that he'd completely ignore me, I should get ready to face the worst!

I quickly walked out the classroom escaping Blake hoping that he'll forget, plan failed. Blake grabbed my fist and pulled me towards him, his face was so close to mine, I could feel his breath against my shaky skin,

"W-what d-do you w-want!" I shouted whispering,

"You'll pay for what you did yesterday, Ruby" he said whispering back only quieter but harsh, he dragged me towards a small empty room and closed the door, I was frightened, what now?! He came towards me with an evil grin, I quickly squatted down shielding myself with my arms, he began kicking me rapidly as the excruciating pain took place, I started to cry in pain and fear as he proceed to punch me, he finally stopped

"If you dare do what you did again, I'll fucking kill you cunt!" He spat then left slamming the door, I silently cried sitting as I wrapped my arms around my knees. Why.. Why? That's the only question I need answered, my life is miserable, just why is it so bad?

I finally stood up after what seemed like 1 hour, I touched my arm then twitched in pain, I was covered in bruises. I stumbled to the door managing to open it, I couldn't think straight, I need to go home.

I walked towards my motorbike forgetting my helmet and rode off to home. I need to rest, today was a horrible day.

I arrived home and knocked the door not bothering to open it myself, Desmond opened the door shocked, I pushed him out the way and ran to my room crying, I locked the door taking of my jacket and changing into my loose clothes to reduce the pain. I heard Desmond outside my room asking what happened, I don't care, I just don't care anymore.

"Mum.. Is that you?"

"Ruby.. My sweetheart" mum said hugging me

"Mum.. What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you.. You seem to be in a difficult situation, remember Ruby, I'm always by your side, always by your side" she said as her voice started to fade away

I woke up, feeling fresh after my dream, ohh I miss my mum.. I always see her in my dreams.. Sigh, if only she was still alive.. I stood up stretching my arms and heading towards my door unlocking it, I saw Desmond in his room in deep thought, he saw me and quickly rushed over towards me

"Ruby.. What happened? You came back with bruises all over you!" He said as he hugged me, I gave into the hug, squeezing him tighter, I was just so upset, it's like I only have my brother because dad was mostly at work, I buried my head into his chest

"I got beaten up by.. The school player because I shouted at him, he deserved it though! He kept bothering me.."I said, he rest his head on my shoulder as he sighed

"I'll show him.. Go get a shower now, I have to go somewhere.." He said angrily breaking my grip, I tried to stop him knowing that he's going to get Blake, but he didn't stop, what if he gets hurt?? Why is he going to go in a fight just because of me?

"Desmond! I only have you! Please don't hurt yourself!why are you going this far?!" I shouted in fear, He turned towards me and grinned

"Because I love you" and with that he left me.. Speechless. Desmond has never said that he loved me before..
