I finally reach my destination and already hear the radio booming from the shack at the back. I could bet 1,000 bucks that he was getting high and watching porn. nothing new.

I decided to avoid my shitty father and went looking for my brother. I wandered through the small house look for the little dweeb.

finally, I found him in his closet.

"What are you doing?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"I was hiding from Dad, he was being a dick." I rolled my eyes and leant a hand for him to grab. he accepted the offer up and I pulled him to his feet.

"It's sad that he's too high to hear the my DS making all these noises coming from the closet but is still oblivious to where I am." he added.

I smirked, and put my hand on top of his head.

"go get a pizza out and preheat the oven, I'll make a pizza." I said.

he did so and waddled off.

I went into my room and closed the door for a few minutes.

I looked around for any sort of entertainment. Nothing.

I decided to wonder off into the woods for a little.

I came to the one and only, desolate field that screamed "peace" to me.

matt, my brother calls it the "dream field" because when we were little, mom would take us to the field and sit us under the tall, old oak tree smack dab in the middle of the field. there we would lay a blanket, cuddle up and take nice naps and everyone would have a beautiful dream. never once did someone have a nightmare.

I pulled my phone out of my back pocket of my black jeans and read "missed call from amanda"

I called her back.

"hey."

"hey" she replied monotone.

"what do you need?" I asked, slightly irritated.

"I was just wondering if I could come over tonight?" she questioned.

"why?" I pondered.

"well, my mom has some dude over and I just don't trust him." she answered softly. 

"that's fine, I'll be here." I said. 

"okay, thank you." she thanked me and the phone call ended.

I sat back into the soft, green grass and gazed at the sky. the sun was just setting. the never ending colors reminded me of a unique kind of cotton candy. It was mainly pinkish-orange, purple hovered over a dark blue that seemed to end at the horizon. there was even a bit of light green colliding with the blue and dim light of what was left of the sunshine.

life could be so easy, if I was born into a regular family. No drunks, druggies, desperate whores, none of that. Life would be happy, and filled with great memories. I would be happy. I would feel as if I actually had a purpose. Only If.

I continued to study the sky and the sharpened details of every cloud. I was then interrupted by distant shouting. 

"dakota!" It was matt.

I got up and gave a silent, longing goodbye to the field.

I walked back to the house where I found matt trying to put the pizza in the oven, which was hilarious. he was trying extremely hard not to burn himself, but he was determined to get the pizza in there successfully.

instead of being a crappy sister, I grabbed the pizza out of his hands and pushed him away before he hurt himself. I placed the pizza in the middle rack and closed the door, setting the timer to 11 minutes. right before I lifted up from my position, matt pinched my ass. I yelped in pain and he ran into the living room saying; "ha ha! you're never going to catch me!"

I rounded the corner near the entrance of the living room and waited there, making little noise as possible. I knew that he would eventually come back into the kitchen to see if I decided to play his little game, which indeed I did.

I sat there patiently, in a prey crouch, ready to topple onto him and tickle him. I heard his soft, playful footsteps nearing me.

suddenly, he jumped into the kitchen as if it would scare me, but I scared him. I leaped onto his entire body and both fell down with a thud. he was fighting my tight grip while I just straddled him, waiting for him to stop resisting me. he stopped and that's when the tickling began.

"st-opp!" he screamed, laughing in between each letter.

I just kept tickling and smiling.

"say you're sorry for pinching me and I will." I offered.

"never!" he yelled in return.

"okay then, feel the wrath of my buttcheek!" I laughed, continuing to tickle him. 

midway into our tickling/wrestling match, Amanda walked through the front door. we both stopped and looked up at her. after seeing her features, i immediately lifted myself from matt, and he lifted himself from the floor as well.

"what happened to you?" I asked, concerned and stern at the same time. 

"well, when I said my mom had some dude over, that dude was my dad." she said.

amanda's father left when she was about 3, he said that amanda wasn't worth the stay. that she was ugly. I didn't get that because amanda doesn't really have a flaw. she looks like a normal person, and maybe prettier. her hair reached about and an inch past her shoulders, chocolate brown, with natural sandy highlights placed on delicate strands. light freckles showered her cheeks and nose. her figure was normal, her stomach was toned and she was paler than average. her hazelish/greenish eyes were wide and big. her eyelashes fluttered always standing tall. her teeth were perfect. straight, white pearls. there wasn't an un-proportionate feature on her. I never understood what he meant, she was even an adorable baby. 

"did he do this to you?" I questioned her, shocked.

"yeah." she murmured.

I gasped and examined the damage done to her face. her hair was knotted, like someone had been constantly jerked at it. her eyelashes were clumped together, her eyes weren't the regular color, they were cold, dark, intense, and slightly red. her face was flustered and small bruises now covered her  freckles.

"you're not going back over there, so make yourself at home." I said and matt nodded along with me. she just smiled, showing gratitude.
