I walk into the kitchen where my dad is staying at my mother, pure anger is all that you can see. I pretend to not notice anything wrong.
My younger brother James comes running down stairs." Hey guys, what's up? Sis hurry up we're going to be late." He says in a rush.
"I'm not driving you to school today Jaime." I say, knowing what's coming next.
"Why aren't you driving your brother to school? Its not like there's anything special about today." My mother states irritated.
I stare at her, my eyes filling with tears." No of course there's nothing special about today." A tear slides down my cheek," it's just my birthday. No big deal right? Come on Jamie I'll take you to school."
Before anyone could protest I run outside and hop into my truck to wait for James. He walks quickly and gets in silently. After a few minutes he turns to face me.
" I didn't forget your birthday Lil I swear."
"I know, I know. I know you actually care about me."
After this being said we continue quietly. I had no idea today would go so wrong, yet so right.
