Strikes Of A Scarred Boy

Chapter 6

"I'll be there"

-----

I woke up to see that Carlos wasn't there anymore.

I rubbed my eyes and turned over to come face to - er, paper? I don't know, it was a note

I picked it up and read it

"I went out to get some breakfast with my mom, I knew you needed sleep so I let you, if you get afraid just go to Carla's room, my dad might have his friends over before we're back. See ya soon"

I smiled and set the note down.
I went into the bathroom into the bathroom in carlos' room and took a shower and brushed my teeth with the tooth brush he gave me when i first came.

Hey i do this at everyone's house.

Now for clothes.
Ugh this is gonna be hard. I'm way smaller than him. Curse my shortness for putting me through so much these years.

I looked through his closet until I found a pair of boxers some gray joggers that fit me just right and a white T-shirt that just so happened. I put on one if his gray beanies and walked down the stairs.

Hmm I wonder what happened to Carlos, I still have to figure it out but I'll need to-

"Umpf" I grumbled as I hit something hard and fell on my butt.

"Watch where your going!" I glowered

"This is my house though" I could hear the smirk on their words causing me to look up.

It was a guy-no a man he looked 24

"Well I'm a guess and you should treat me with respect"

I said getting up.

"Your Carla's friend?" He asked getting up.

"No I'm not, now get out of my way so I can go look for her, I have to ask her some things" I pushed past him only for him to grab my arm.

"Your Carlos' little fling? Man, little brother knows how to pick them" he smirked at me and I almost gagged

"Let me go you- I don't even know what you are!" I tried to get away but his grip was was tightening. Something about this giant guy told me not to fight back.

"Too bad he chose the wrong one before, he broke so much hearts playing the good guy, he says he wants to help, after he helps he leads them to think he's inlove with them and then leave them, but one of them fought back, exposed him, he couldn't eat, sleep, he was depressed, ha, he's nothing what a dirty filthy-"

"Clinton!"

We both turned around to see a horrifyingly red with anger Carlos

"Be smart" I looked at Clinton then back at Carlos, trying to process everything he just said, Carlos never tried to get with me, sure he flirted but I did hear him tell his mom that he didn't like me, he said he would tell me all this his self if I trusted him enough to not run away..

Do I trust him?

"Stay away from me"

I yanked my arm away from Clinton and stood next to Carlos who seemed to still be tense.

"What are you doing home?" He asked.

"Aw little brother I'm just a break from college, and im glad I was just in time to warn your new fling about you"

Carlos turned from red to pale in seconds 100 to 0 real quick

"He-hes not a fling! Hes not!" He turned to me with pleading eyes

"You gotta believe me please kya I have no intentions to hurt you, I got a taste of my own medicine and it was horrible" he had tears brimming his eyes.

I glared at Clinton.

"How could you out your own brother like that?"

"He's always thought hes so high and mighty always getting what he wants, he needs to feel more pain then he has already"

"SHUT UP!" Both of the boys jumped at my loud voice.

"Don't you dare. don't. You. Dare, talk about him like that, you don't know what it's like to have your own bother hate you, you don't know what it's like to be a shadow of your siblings you dont know how it feels to wake up every morning knowing that you can't look the people your supposed to look up to the most in the eyes without being hit beaten or cursed at, you don't know what it's like to be outted in ways that destroy you a little every day, you don't know what it's like to have siblings and not have them at the same time, grow the hell up"

They looked at me shocked

"Both of you!"

I looked at Carlos who nodded and went to his older brother.

"Look I'm sorry-"

I stopped him

"Guys this isnt some cliché story, nod to each other and get on with your lives geez" I tapped my foot impatiently.

"He's different Carlos"

Clinton said looking at me.

Carlos turned red and nodded.

He turned to me "thank you, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the water park, with the guys and your friends can come too" he scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Sure" I said but something told me it was a bad idea. I pushed the feeling back and decided to relax.

----------

"Carlos quit it!" I yelled as he and Danny picked me up to throw me in the pool.

"No way!"

Dunk!

I swam up to the surface

"You guys are gonna pay for that!" I laughed.

"Kyaaaaa catch me!!"

I turned and held my arms out to LeeAnn

Yea we're all good friends now.

She leaped into my arms and we both went under and came up laughing.

Carlos and Danny jumped in while Carson, Carla and Prince sunbathed

I latched onto Danny's back and stuck my tongue out at Carlos who pouted and tried to get me.

"No mineee" danny said pushing Carlos away playfully

"Guys look"
We looked up at LeeAnn who stood at the foot of the pool with water guns. She smirked and we smirked knowing what she wanted.

We filled up the water guns and tip toed to where the three sunbathers were.

We pumped the guns and sprayed them earning three screems.

We burst out laughing at their angry faces.

"Well well well"

I froze.

Freaking hell.
