Fallen

.1.

Louise and I shrieked with laughter lighting up our cigarettes and leaning against the wall outside, "thank the fuck that's over" I smiled exhaling the cigarette smoke from my lips, "I'm free I can go be a tattoo artist" I laughed as Louise spun in circles, she was high as a kite.  Then a car pulled up "oh shit" I gawked starting at the car door, it swung open my brother climbed out grabbing the cigarette from my hand, "get in the fucking car Marie" my brother Devin growled, "yes Devin" I said scurrying to the car and climbing in.

We drove in silence, he pulled up at his house and we climbed out walking to the front door, he opened it and we walked in, "WHAT THE FUCK MARIE" he bellowed after he closed the door, "IM SORRY" I screamed back "NO SORRY DOESN'T CUT IT MARIE" he screamed "IM 18 IM NOT A CHILD" I cried back "YOUR ACTING LIKE THAT, YOU WANT TO DIE EARLY?" He screamed "yea" I said looking at the floor "what" he said looking at me "maybe I do" I said tears spilling down my cheek, I ran towards the spare room, I closed the door and slid against it sobbing, "Marie are you ok I haven't seen you in forever" Chris said engulfing me In a hug "yea I'm fine"  I smiled wiping the tears from my eyes, "you sure" Chris asked knowing to well I was lying "yea" I said as there was a knock at the door. "Chris please send Marie out" Devin called from the other side "you'll be ok hun, devin loves you with all his heart, you can come back here if it gets to much ok?" He smiled, I nodded and left the room.

Devin led me out and to the living room sitting on the sofa and pulling me into his side, "was school that bad" he asked, I nodded "don't be silly Marie I know you like to sometimes exaggerate things but school isn't that bad I mean at least you have a friend your not that kind of person to feel this sad" he smiled, I stood up "how could you say that, how could you be that inconsiderate just because I'm your sister doesn't mean I can't be upset like that" I said crying again, I ran to Chris room "please don't make me speak to him again" I cried into Chris chest "ok, what's going on?" He asked lying me down on the bed, I explained about Devin, "oh" he said pulling me close to him "I will defend that we are the vanquished and you will not make our decisions, I won't pretend that I'm not a victim of a world that will not listen" he sang softly in my ear, I turned round and cuddled into his chest and soon fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning still in my graduation dress and heels, I ached all over and my eyes felt swollen, I groaned and rolled out of bed and went through Chris suitcase pulling out a t shirt a hoddie and a pair of his black boxers cuz his jeans aren't gonna fit me, I slid on the clothes and walked out the room, Devin and Chris chatting in the living room, "whose are those" Devin asked sternly pointing to my clothes "they're mine" Chris said raising his arm in the air from the kitchen work top "why the" he asked shaking his head "idk" I said taking the coffee out of Chris' hands and taking a sip, "want me to make you coffee?" He laughed, I nodded "or should I make myself coffee" he chuckled, I shrugged sitting on the counter, he walked past me wrapping his arm around my waist "are those my boxers?" He asked whispering, I nodded hugging his back refusing to let go as he walked round making coffee "you look good in them" Chris said suddenly "what?" I asked returning to the counter and his coffee "my boxers" he smiled siping the coffee he just made, "what are you two whispering about" Devin called "YOUR MUM" i called back, I heard him chuckle I guessed we were going to forget last night. "I stood up on the counter "Jesus Christ what are you doing" Chris gasped spitting the mouthful of coffee back into the cup and quickly placing it on the counter before running to my side, I climbed from the counter onto the huge black beam that ran through the old living room ceiling, I sat down on it and swung backwards hanging upside down like bat, Chris chuckled and walked over to me "nice bra" he winked flicking my stomach "oh shit" I gasped trying to grab my top, suddenly my legs Became week and I screamed as I fell, I closed my eyes this would surely break my back, i landed with a thud into someone's arms "Fucking hell" I whispered "bloody hell Chris" Devin gawked from the door way, I breathed heavily into his chest "what" Chris gasped as I clung to him "I've never seen you move so fast" Devin said breathlessly "apparently when you love someone so much your body will go into overdrive to save them if they are in danger" kylie Devins girlfriend said from beside him "bullshit" Chris said hugging me tightly and carrying me to the sofa and placing me down, "you ok?" He asked "course it's bullshit because you totally don't love her" Kylie sorted sarcastically, I rolled my eyes "oh yea Marie your coming on tour with us" Devin said staring at a wall, "oh ok" I smiled brightly still shaking "yea I want you to quit that habit" Devin said leaning against the door frame, "so your taking me away with the biggest chain smoker on this planet, great idea bro" I nodded, he rolled his eyes "I'm serious Marie we need to sort this out" he said hugging my shoulder "what was it you wanted to do again?" He asked softly "tattttoooooos" I giggled re attaching myself to Chris "I am the goth koala mother" Chris screeched running round the living room, "your insane, both of you" Devin said his arm draped around kylies shoulder.

Chris offered to take me to my house to pack and I was currently trying to shove a pair of shoes into my third full suitcase, "give em here" Chris chuckled taking them out my hand, he took out some of my clothes from the suitcase and walked off with them, "Chris what are you doing" I asked running after him "putting them in my suitcase" he smiled, "oh thanks" I smiled heading back to my room and placing the other clothes that needed to be packed into my suitcase. " I began waddling down the corridor pulling my suitcases after me, tripping and falling I finally reached the stairs, I began hauling my suitcases down the first step "what are you doing, are you stupid" Chris asked from the bottom of the stairs "no" I mumbled "you'll hurt yourself" he frowned picking up two of my suitcases and walking down the stairs, I sighed and shoved the last one down the stairs thudding and banging on the old stairs, "are you ok!!" Chris said a worried look on his face as he ran to the stairs "yea" I said walking down the stairs, he shook his head and walked off, I pulled my suitcase outside to the front door and out to Chris car, he put my suitcases in and we climbed into the car. "Sorry for saying you were stupid Marie, I know your not" Chris mumbled focusing on the road "it's ok" I said tracing shapes onto the window "I just don't want you hurt" he smiled placing a hand on my leg, I felt the blush creeping onto my face, "your like a sister to me Marie" he smiled, his words hit me like a slap across the face I turned to look at him, the same pained expression on his face "really?" I asked "no" he mumbled starring at the wheel "ok" I said turning to the door as we pulled up, I climbed out the car and walked to the front door, I inserted my key and unlocked the house.
