Three Wishes

I wake up dawning from the deafening sound of applauses coming from the living room. Fucking brother and his stupid parties. Why won't dad do anything. I get up from my bed and walk to his room. Drunk as always.
"SHUT UP!!!!"I bang the staircases trying to draw my noise into the situation. It doesn't work. The sounds of footsteps become louder as they ascend. It finds out to be my brother and some girl.
"Hey Ella,"he says in slurs. I back away from hi alcoholic breath.
"Tim what are you doing? Turn the party off." He chuckles as his girl hugs Tim harder.
"I'm going to....chat wit ma girlfrien. I wuv you." He hugs me and kisses me on the forehead. As he walks off, I flip him off. The slam the door even though I wince at it. Minutes turns into hours as the sun rises.
I go downstairs to find the kitchen pristine.....what even.  My dad comes all neat and tidy for work. I'm surprise how he head two compartments. A party animal and a father...
"Hey before you leave for school, wake up your brother and put out the fire." I look out the snow. Autumn has been defeated. Winter is coming. He hugs me with his coffee, puts on his coats, and walks out to his car.
"I wish I didn't have to wake my brother," I mutter.

He snow stop....the screams start.

I dash to his room to find the girl and my brother murdered. Their skins are pure snow white and and their breath are no more. I walk backwards to the bathroom, gasping. Dry heaving. I scramble to find my phone where I drop it in the toilet.
"Oh fuck, fuck, fuck!!" I grab my coat and head out the door.
