He was coming home

57

"Can you take me to the beach?" Seth asks me

"No go by yourself" I mutter in reply

"Dad said I couldn't, that I was too young said that you'd take me" he tells me

"Well I won't soon away, pest" I say and he sighs sadly and walks slowly out like he thinks I'm going to change my mind just because he's sad. I don't have that much of a heart

"I'm telling on you!" he shouts when I don't change my mind

"For what? I haven't done anything wrong!" I shout back

"What did you do this time?" Charlie asks walking in casually as if he's allowed to be in here

"What is with everybody coming into my room for no reason? And why are you even here? No one likes you" I say throwing a book at him

"It's a free country and you haven't answered my question he answers leaning on my wall

Great. Now I'm going to have to clean that wall to get rid of the disgusting bacteria he's putting on it

"I haven't done anything, he's just in a bad mood. Now get out" I tell him

"Okay then, you know you could be nicer, you'll never get a boyfriend if your not nice" he says walking out

"Oh I need to be nice? Speak for yourself and I have a boyfriend" I shout and he just waves and slams my door shut

This is so boring there is nothing to do besides fight with people who I fight with everyday.

I'm actually starting to miss school. I never thought that there would be a day that I would miss that place where they torture us.

"What would you like for dinner?" Dad asks me

"Fish & chips with ice cream" I reply smiling at him hopefully

"That's a weird combination but okay" he says and leaves

I really need a lock on my door, or some way of keeping people out

The next person who walks through that door I am hitting with the cricket bat.

I'm drawing my perception of my ugly and annoying brother when I hear footsteps coming closer and closer. 

Where's that bat gone?

"I thought I told y u to leave my husband alone" the person says walking in her voice cold and bitter

It's Clarisse  again. Where is bat, I need to hit her with it.

"What do you want Clarisse?" I ask sitting

"I want you stop turning my husband against me just because your jealous of us and want to be with him" she snaps "and my name isn't Clarisse, it's Patrice" she adds

God dammit Patrice

"I nearly speak to him and he's my brother. I'm glad he married you because now I never see him, so why would I want that to end?" I reply and she scoffs

"I don't know because your greedy and selfish" she hisses

"Are we talking about me or you?" I ask her and she picks up my dictionary and throws it at me

That's it. I found the bat.

"Stay away from him or I am having you arrested" she threatens

"I have never done anything to you. Besides push your husband down the stairs a million times so you can't actually have me arrested successfully for something that never happened" I tell "shouldn't you be telling your husband and my brother to stay away from me instead of telling me to stay away from him, because that would work so much better" I add

And she storms out. I forgot to it her with the bat. She could probably have me arrested for doing that so it was a probably a good idea that I didn't

And just when I think they've left me alone my brother storms in

"Whatever she told you, it's not true and she's making things up because she's crazy and not in a good way crazy" I say before he can say anything

"Why are you threatening my wife?" He asks angrily

"What did I just say?" I say before sighing and answering his question "I have never threatened your stupid wife,  she's the one threatening me" I tell him

"And what about hitting her with the cricket bat?" He asks his anger fading a bit

Since when did he actually start believing me

"I only dreamt of doing that" I reply

"So did you or did you not throw a dictionary at her?" He asks

"she through a dictionary at me" I reply

"Right, I'm going to talk to my wife" he tells me

"Dude, what is wrong with your wife?" I ask him and he doesn't reply straight away

"Maybe it's you that's the problem, you probably drive her crazy enough to make her lose it" he replies

"I never did anything to her, the first time I met her was when you announced your marrying her" I say but he doesn't say anything else

That's by exactly truth, I haven't done anything to her that she knows about, it knows it was me
