"Life is not going to treat you like a princess. You need to get your head out of your ass and start thinking straight. If you keep acting like an ignorant little brat towards your older brother I am going to beat your ass, understand?" my mother yelled at me.
"Yes mom, I understand."
"Good, now apologize to Brendan for messing with him. He may still live with us, but he has a hard job and doesn't deserve your belligerent disrespect."
I turned around and headed towards my brothers room. My mom was right, he worked twelve hour shifts at Handy's, this huge construction material store, but I just do not understand why he is still dating that cum guzzling whore he calls a boyfriend. What am I saying, he is an amazing guy. I am a little brat.
I walked up to Brendan's door and kindly knocked.
"It's open."
I walked into his room and he gave me a dirty look."
"What the fuck do you want? If this another one of your " gags" or you want to give me a speech on how I am a failure because I still live with mom, you can leave."
"I, um, actually came to apologize. I know that I have been, well, a bitch to you lately and it is not fair to you. I am sorry Brendan."
"I do not believe you. I cannot trust you anymore. All you do anymore is give me attitude or fuck with me and my boyfriend. What is your deal!?" He raised his voice at the end.
"I...I...I don't know," I started to tear up.
"Until you can explain to me why it is you are being a bitch, your apology is not accepted. PERIOD!"
"OKAY! I just am upset that I don't see you as often anymore and that you are always hanging out with Dick. I love you Brendan, and I...I...I...miss you," I was fully crying now.
I fell to my knees and felt the flow of warm tears running down my cheek. Brendan was so busy with other things that he doesn't have time to ha g out with me anymore, and I miss hanging out with him. I was on the floor for, I don't know how long, but Brendan picked me up off the floor and gave me a hug. He warmed up my soul and I felt better.
"Listen," he broke the hug," I will adjust my scelude so we can hang out more, but please stop being a dick to Dick please, and me."
"Okay, I will."
"Okay, now please, I have homework to do. I need my space, I love you Audrey."
"I love you too Brendan."
With that, I walked out of his room and went to my room. I sat at my rest and got out my U.S. history book and started my homework. That hug made me feel better. This, though, was just the beginning journey.
