Young Love & Deceit

Three

________________After School________________

After school, Jameal met me by my locker, and we walked outside hand in hand.

"Wanna go and get something to eat?" Jameal asked me.

"Aww, bae I can't, Christopher grounded me for today and tomorrow. I have to go straight home, im sorry." i said running my fingers through his hair, then down the back of his neck, and down to his chest.

"For coming in late last night right?" he replyed pulling me closer to him by my waist.

"Im sowwy, but when im off punishment we can go and get something to eat, i promise." i said, then i kissed Jameal on the lips for a long time. However, i was unaware that Christopher had pulled up, got out of the car, and was standing behind me. Jameal, however saw him and pulled away, i gave him a confused look and he pointed behind me. I turned around and saw Christopher and almost peed in my pants.

"Damn!" i said to myself, however not quietly.

"Damn is right, let's go!" he said pulling me by my arm towards the car.

" NO! Im walking home." releasing myself from Christopher's grip on my arm.

"Hailie let's go! I got off work early, because i knew you would purposely disobey me." he said calmly but angrily.

"NO! I was actually wasn't going to disobey your little rule. Soooo, Im walking home like i do everyday, and I'll see you at home." i said angrily, and very loudly. Then i realized how pissed off Christopher looked.

"HAILIE YOU BETTER GET YO-" he screamed but stopped himself and walked up to me and began speaking quietly, but very angrily in my face. "Hailie you are going to get in that car in the next 10 seconds or i will purposely embarass you in front of all these people, and i don't think want that, do you? so get in the the car...now."

My felt my heart drop ten stories as he spoke to me, i stood there looking very frightened at Christopher after he finished.

"HAILIE GO!" he yelled at me. I ran to the car and didn't look back.

However, Christopher didn't me follow back into the car, he went to go and talk to jameal. I rolled the window down and listened to what he was saying. Jameal's face was straight, and so was C's.

"Don't ever let me catch you around, touching, smiling, looking or even thinking about my little sister, got that?!" Christopher said getting in Jameal's face. Jameal just laughed and looked at me in the car.

"She loves me, and you gotta deal with it, she is gonna find out someday", Jameal said laughing with a smirk on his face too. My brother was getting ready to hit him but he calmed down.

Jameal kept talking," And when she does I'll be here to comfort her." Christopher got angry again. "Okay laugh, you won't be laughing for long." C walked over to the car window and i put the window up. Then, he got in the car and we drove away. We were quiet all the way home so that meant i was gonna get it when i got home.

_____________At Home________________

We got home and we went inside, I tried my hardest to get up the stairs and in my room but C. beat me to the stairs and stood right in front of me. I walked to the couch and sat down, waiting for C to yell at me or something. He began pacing, and I've never seen him pace, i must have pissed him off a lot. Then, he says something:

"I just don't understand you-" he said but i cut him off from talking.

"Your right, you don't." i said quickly. He got angry at me:

"Shut your mouth, and let me finish, you always got something smart to say. Anyway, you miss curfew, your disrespectful when i talk to you. Then i come to pick you up from school, to find you kissing a boy. A boy i don't like, that i don't want you hanging around. Why don't you just listen to me, im your my older brother. Don't you think i know what's best for you?"

"Can i talk now?" i said annoyed. I looked at him. He just walked away, making fists, but came back:

"There you go smart talking again, you know what? Go to ur room, just go!! But wait....before you go" he walked upstairs.

I sat on the couch and didn't move. Two minutes later, he ran halfway downstairs and called me. I walked after him and he opened my bedroom door. Then i entered my room, and he closed the door behind me. As soon as ten minutes passed, i wanted to get out of there. I went straight for my window, but C locked it when i was downstairs. I ran to the door and turned the knob but the door didn't open. I got pissed, and i just wanted to sream....so i did.

"CHRISTOPHER! YOU LOCKED ME IN HERE!?" i began banging and kicking the door.

"What?!" I heard C yell from downstairs!

"Uggghhhh! Your just mad cause im in love with Jameal anyway!"I screamed.

I must have triggered something, because C came upstairs, entered my room, and his eyes were tearing. He looked me in eyes and he tried to say something but he couldn't, no sound came out. I know that I hurt him somehow but i couldn't watch him cry. I walked up to him, wiped his tears, and gave him a hug. I just knew what i said cut deep. Because my brother doesn't cry, C doesn't cry....I've haven't seen him cry in years, and i didn't want to now. He let go and walked out. I felt guilty, but i do love Jameal. I just don't know why C hates Jameal so much. Jameal never did anything to him, and Jameal has no problem with C. I walked downstairs and made dinner. C came downstairs and we ate together. Honestly, if i didn't have C, i would be in the foster system because my parents are dead. I really just am a teenager with a lot of rage and bitterness. C and Jameal are all i really have. I've never been or loved by anyone else ,after my parents, except Jameal and C. I tucked in C before i went bed. I texted Jameal until was i sleeply, i put my phone to charge, and went to sleep.
