My Brothers

Chapter 9

Christina laid in bed wide awake, waiting for Bobby to come in and check on her, like he always does when she says that she is going to bed. She didn't have to wait long because, soon enough Bobby cracked her door open and looked in on her.

Christina closed her eyes and slowed her breathing so it looked like she was asleep. She stayed perfectly still as she heard Bobby's footsteps come towards her bed, and the slight sink on the mattress that fallowed as he sat down.

Bobby sat down at the edge of Christina's bed and watched his sixteen year old sister, as she slept peacefully. Her face glowed in the moonlight, making her dark hair stand out with her pale face. It was two nights ago since they killed their mother's killers.

She had worried all of them during the car ride home as she sat perfectly still, her face divided of any emotion. When they did get home she simply went up stairs, she told them that she was tired. About an hour later she came bouncing down the stairs, smiling like nothing had happened.

Bobby sighed and gently stroked her hair, smiling slightly as she seem to sigh in her sleep. "I love you baby." He whispered and then leant over and kissed her forehead. He got up and took one last look at his sleeping sister, then closed the door softly behind him.

When Christina was sure that Bobby was down the hall and downstairs, she sat up sighing. "I love you too BB." She whispered to herself, then threw the covers off of her and went to her window. She looked once more behind her, before she climbed out the window and down the tree to the ground, sprinting to the car that was at the end of the block.

Bobby walked into the living room and plopped himself down on the couch. Angel looked up from his spot by the record player "She asleep?" He asked Bobby. Bobby sighed and slouched down more into the couch, nodding. "Yea, she's sound asleep. Didn't even wake up when I came in." Bobby told him as Angel nodded slightly, he then got an evil smirk on his face, fingering the yellow chip.

"Don't start that shit again man." Bobby warned.

Angel just smirked and threw the yellow chip at Bobby's head. Bobby sighed and threw the chip back at him, and before you knew it, it was Nitro and Midnight all over again. Without the Nitro.

"Hey Christina! Over here!"

Christina turned towards the yell, and her face broke out into a smile when she saw her best friend, Avery Smith. Avery, or Ave, has been her friend since the third grade. She was pretty with blonde hair and green eyes that looked like ivy. Avery was one of the "popular" group as she was the head cheerleader.

Christina smiled and waved at her as she made her way towards her, going in and out of the grinding bodies. Christina sat down next to Ave on the couch once she reached her and gave her a hug.

"What's up Chris? How've you been?" Avery asked when she pulled out of the hug, taking in her appearence. "You look awesome!" She squealed.

Christina was decked out in her party clothes, she wanted to look good for this party and a certain someone. She was wearing a red halter top that end in a"V" shape so it shows her belly button piercing.

She had skin tight low riser dark blue jeans, that glittered when she moved. Her black hair was lose, so that her curls hung down in waves, she also added glitter to her hair so it sparkled in the light. She had on clear red lip gloss, light blush on her cheeks, and light red eye shadow on her eyes.

"Thanks!" Christina grinned, she looked Avery up and down, taking her in "So do you!" She complimented her. Avery rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders.

They sat there talking for a little while until Avery got asked to dance by some guy. Christina laughed as Avery turned around and winked at her, raising her eyebrow as she was pulled out into the dance floor.
