Once I had reached my destination I found myself taking the stone steps two at a time until I finally found the door I had been looking for. Apartment building B door number 28. I took a deep breath in a failing attempt to calm my erratic nerves and knocked rather roughly on the cream colored door. I took a step back crossing my arms over my almost flat chest and waited patiently for the resident of the apartment room to open up. There was a soft shuffling sound emitting from inside before the sound of a chain lock followed lazily. I looked up from my sweating palms as the door opened and I threw myself into my older brothers arms crying in pure frustration. He gasped from my sudden action, grabbing onto my waist, and walked backwards into his home.
"What's wrong?" he asked sitting me onto the couch carefully.
"Renee pissed me off."
"What happened this time?"
"She saw me trying to be myself... Then she started trying to lecture me about how weird I was acting then she called me Natalie..." I ranted counting all of the things that had caused me to snap. "D'Shawn... I hate that name so much..."
"I know. Nate you need to go home though... Dad will be worried sick..."
"I can't go back there!"
"You can Ototo-Chan... It is time you stood up for yourself and put your foot down!"
"I can't D'Shawn!"
"Na-"
He was cut off by the sound of his landline ringing in a sharp tone piercing our sibling quarrel like a knife. He released my shoulders, which I hadn't noticed him grab, with a sigh and stood up grabbing the phone from the kitchenette.
"Hello?" he questioned into the receiver slowly. "Oh hey Pops. Nat?"
He looked at me with his 'I told you so' look and I simply shook my head in my 'don't you dare tell him' way.
"No she hasn't come by my place yet... I'll send her home when I see her. Alright I'll see you later."
With that said he hung up the phone and rubbed his temples in frustration. I knew he was tired of me running away from them... Hell I was tired of running myself, but what could I possibly do to make any of this better?!
"You need to go home Ototo... Dad's worried about you."
"I can't go back..."
"You can."
Even my brother can lie with such ease.
