“You can now exit the aircraft.” The lady tells us over the loud speaker.
“I want to go back.” I whine over to Harry.
I didn’t want to leave the holiday, if only we could have stayed a little longer. I was having the most fun I have had in a while. Staying in a room with Harry and not really being under mum’s rules was a dip in freedom and I loved it! I wish we could go back and do it all over again minus the fight with Harry. That was the best holiday I have ever been on. I can’t believe I stayed in a room with Harry and all the things we got to do was amazing.
“Maybe another time baby.” Harry chuckles pulling me out of the plane.
“Urgh...” I sigh. I was having so much fun why couldn’t we have just stayed?
“Come on Mia.” Harry laughs dragging me along the tarmac to the airport.
“Promise we will do it again.” I stop in the middle of the airport.
“I promise baby.” Harry smiles before pecking me on the cheek and continues to drag me inside.
“Yay!” I squeal. I cannot wait!!!
Harry laughs at my excitement and we make our way to the bag pick up.
We wait a while for our bags but when we get them we make our way out to the car. We begin the long journey home. I’m exhausted and its only afternoon here. I rest my face against the cool window as mum’s music floods through the car. Mum quietly hums along and so does William. They’re so cute together. I glance over to Harry who is laying his head back behind him and his arms are crossed over his chest. He looks pretty tired as well.
William drives up to our house and help us get our suitcases out of the car. Harry insists on staying with me for a while so he comes in with us while William leaves.
“You don’t have to stay.” I tell Harry as we walk up the drive way.
“I want to.”
“We just spent a whole holiday together.”
“And I loved every second of it.” He replies with a cheeky grin.
I lead the way around the corner and the front door comes into view.
What the hell.
I drop my bags out of my hands and take a step back feeling my body land against Harry. He quickly wraps his arms around my waist in a protective manner.
“What’s wron-..” Mum starts but quickly drops her stuff as she sees the teenaged boy standing at our doorway with suitcases.
My mouth drops as the sight of him. What the hell is he doing here? He looks so different from the last time I saw him, so I’m not certain if it is him. Harry looks confused as mum and I stay silent for a minute as the boy stares at us in awe. I turn to mum and tears are already streaming down her face as she tries to form a sentence.
“Zach?” Mum sobs walking closer to the door after a while of silence.
Harry instantly tightens his grip as he realises who the boy is. Zach. My brother.
“Mum.” He says looking back and forth between mum and I.
“What are you doing here?” I snap pulling myself out of Harry’s grip and walking in front of mum, blocking her from the person who stands in front of us.
My anger is boiling up inside of me as all the horrible memories are coming back. Things I thought I had forgot, things I haven’t even told Harry yet, that I haven’t told anyone.
“I came here to sort things out, I want to be a part of your lives again.” He speaks coming closer towards me. No way. No fucking way.
I instantly take a step back pushing mum even further behind me in a protective manner. Why am I the one at the front right now being brave? I guess the anger and need to say something is over taking me as I take full control of the situation.
“No way. No fucking way.” I spit at him taking a step closer to show dominance.
“Mia!” Mum yells and tries to come towards me but Harry stops her and whispers something into her ear which causes her to stop. I pull a confused look but turn myself around to Zach who is standing there surprised. I guess he doesn’t think I can stand up for myself because I couldn’t use to.
“Mia, please give me a second chance.” He begs and takes a step back at my sudden closeness.
Why the hell does he want to come back to us? How could he think we would just take him back? After everything he and dad did!
“You had your second chance Zach and you blew it. Get away from mum and I.” I spit at him, my voice coming out stronger than ever.
His eyes widen at my bravery and he takes a step back from me as the tension grows.
“Mia wait.” Mum interrupts our glare and walks up behind me.
“Maybe, we should give him a second chance.” She mumbles.
What the fuck? No way. No possible way. How can she just say that?
“What!” I yell looking at her. Her facial expression is weak and sad.
After all the nights I heard my mum sob herself to sleep and me doing the same thing. She’s just going to forget and let him back into our lives.
“Mia. He’s your brother and my son. Maybe we should just give him a chance let him explain himself.” She nods at me to get me to agree.
I glare over to Zach who holds a slight sickening smirk on his face. Something’s wrong and my gut instinct is telling me to get away as quick as I can. But mum is insisting we give him a second, no third chance. I refuse to trust or believe anything that comes out of his mouth though. I will trust my gut instinct.
“Are you kidding me?” I ask mouth agape.
“No and I make the decisions around here so you can step down now.” Mum threatens. Is she serious right now?
I look over to Harry who’ standing there in anger. I can see that he just wants to lunge at Zach, but he’s controlling it. Harry told me that if he ever saw one of them he would bash their faces in. So he’s doing pretty well right now.
“Zach, come in.” Mum says unlocking the door and wheeling in all her suitcases while Zach follows.
I pick up my bags that are carelessly lying on the ground and look up at Harry. Anger is flowing through me right now and he knows it.
“Where did that Mia come from?” Harry chuckles, but he knows this isn’t funny.
“My anger and hatred brings out the nasty me.” I smile trying to lighten the mood. But it’s not working.
The kid of my nightmares has just returned.
