Life After Pain

Not What I Expected: Part 1

Yn's POV

*The Same Day At Work*

Tammy has been really nice to me today. I think I've even saw her smile at me once. And it wasn't a sarcastic smile, but a genuine smile.

I was walking in the hallway of the hospital when I bumped into her. "Excuse me, I'm sorry" she said.

I gave her a strange look. "I'm the one that bumped into you. Why are you apologizing? It was my fault."

She shook her head. "Forget about it, Yn. I have to go now."

Tammy's POV

I quickly walked away from Yn. I've been a wreck ever since Justin threatened me to be nice to her. Yes, threatened.

*FLASHBACK*

*Two Days Ago*

I walked into my house and Justin was sitting on the couch. "Hey, sis."

I have him a strange look. "Hey, bro. How did you get into my house? You don't even have a key."

He walked over to me. "Don't worry about that." He was now a few feet away from me.

I backed away. "Justin, what the hell is wrong with you?! Have you been taking your medication?"

He pushed me up against the wall, my head had a huge impact. "Don't worry about me, Tamina." He never calls me by my real name. "You better be nice to Yn from now on. She's my girl now. If you dont, well, you know."

I shook my head. "No, I don't know! You're threatening your own sister over a girl you just met?!"

He banged my back up against the wall. "Let me repeat myself, just in case yo dumbass didn't hear me. Be nice to Yn. If I see you treating her the way you used to treat her, you don't even know what's going to happen."

"Justin, come on now. I have your medication upstairs, just take it." I tried to break free from his grasp to get the medicine but his grip got even tighter.

"Remember what I said, Tamina." He was about to walk away but he turned his attention back to me. "Oh, and if you tell anyone about this little conversation, I'll personally kill you myself." he said with a very serious face.

I sat on the floor crying after he walked out the door. I took my phone out and called a few services so I could get new locks on my doors and windows and hid my spare key in a different place. Then I called a home security service as well. They all came that night and finished within a few hours. I was so thankful.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Thinking back on it made me shed a few tears. My own twin brother said all of that to me. We grew up together and I helped him with everything, and this is how he repays me?

As a child, Justin used to get himself in a world of trouble. I, being his twin, had his back for everything since I knew everything that happened. Girls used to pick on him for being so nerdy, so I beat their asses.

Justin was picked on a lot. But one day, in seventh grade, Justin had stopped taking his medication and went crazy. He was so tired of being bullied. He threw a desk at a student's head, causing him to have permanent brain damage. He tried to push a bookcase on another one of his bullies too, and he got away and luckily it only landed on his foot and broke it. He threw a computer at a teacher. I watched everything and I knew I couldn't stop him. All that happened that day caused him to get expelled from the middle school we went to and almost went to juvee. I'll never forget that day.

Those kids knew he was a nerd. What they didn't know what that he was born with bipolar disorder. After that vicious episode he had, we had to take him to many therapy sessions and doctors appointments. He was so in denial and kept saying he didn't need it but he eventually started taking it again.
