Two Brothers. ( A Drama)

For The Better

- Milena

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that they're brothers. That this day beat out the day at the party with Royce by a land slide. That I ruined his family's Thanksgiving, his relationship with his brother and I'm the reason he has a black eye forming. I'm getting sick just replaying those scenes in my head. I feel a headache coming too, more than likely because I haven't ate yet.

Patrick hasn't glanced at me not once yet. Whenever we're near each other he glances at me. He kept his eyes straight ahead, hands clenching the steering wheel and his jaw tight. I've never seen him angry before, it's like looking at a brand new person. Patrick's never yelled at me before either. Now to know that Celeste was the girl he was telling me about tugged at my heart. Celeste was my first friend here. We told each other things and a real friendship was blossoming. Now I'm with her ex...well baby daddy. Thinking back on that just further pisses me off.

Another baby messing up my love life. I'm starting to really hate children and the idea of reproduction period. It seems to just ruin lives, especially mine.

Pulling up to the house I got out the car first. I waited for him to open the door and I walked in behind him. I took my sandals off and went straight to the kitchen. Patrick came in behind me to get ice for his face. He sat at the Island with his head down. "You want chicken?" "Yes." I seasoned the chicken and put it in the oven. I grabbed the biscuits, macaroni and two cans of green beans and got started on that. After putting everything on I went upstairs to change clothes.

I was on my way back down to the kitchen hoping Patrick left but he was still there with his head down. The food was almost done. "How do you know Celeste?" Here it goes. "She was my first friend I made when I moved down here. We were great friends then she suddenly cut me off." Which I'm starting to think Carnell is the cause of that or Nylah. "That's how you know Nylah too?" "Kinda. She introduced us at Carnell's party and she hated me from then on." It was still quiet for awhile until he blurted out. "You really didn't know we were brothers?" "No Patrick. He told me he had other brothers but he never mentioned names and obviously I never met you guys. Except Dustin but I met Dustin before I met Carnell." "You dated him too." He thought I didn't hear him mumble that? I turned around to look at him. "No you jerk! He's really good friends with my brother and me! Since you want to take it there let's talk about your baby." Patrick shrugged his shoulders. "It was a drunk night. I wasn't involved with you yet." I threw the spoon in my hand at his head and ran upstairs to his room and locked the door. I don't know why that triggered the crying. Maybe because it's like he accepts this baby she sprung on him, or because he sounds like Carnell. He was knocking on the door. "Baby open the door." "Leave me alone!" "I'm sorry...I don't really know what I said wrong." "Go away Patrick!"

I woke up around 11pm. I still hadn't ate. I opened the door and went into the kitchen to eat what I cooked earlier. I ate everything and was still a little hungry but I'd wait until the morning. Going back into Patrick's room I see him sitting on the bed. "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry I ruined Thanksgiving for your family." "Forget about it. I just want to sleep in the same bed tonight." I walked over to the bed and he kissed me. I held his head and kissed his sore eye. I laid back with Patrick's head on my stomach.

Sunday Night

I don't even want him to touch me. This has to be the weirdest thing to ever happen. His kisses don't feel the same. When we lay together it's like I didn't know him. He's not my safezone anymore, he's a new enemy. I know Patrick is angry with me but he won't admit it. I try to stay at one end of the house and mind my business. I even went out with Gia today. I can't keep living in this house like this. I went into one of the guestrooms to be alone.

I had my earphones in doing my hair when Patrick yanked them out. "Hey?" "What are you doing in this room?" "Didn't want to get your bathroom dirty so I used this one." I unplugged my flat irons and grabbed my clips to leave out. I didn't want to sleep with him tonight, last night didn't feel right to me. I turned the TV on and got in the bed. I had just finished wrapping my hair and was feeling sleepy enough to lay back. "How did you not know we're brothers?" I didn't even notice he was still in here. I put the TV on mute and turned to face him. "How many times are you going to ask this? I didn't know! Don't you think if I would've known I would've told you to leave me alone!" "Babe we have the same last name! That didn't click for you?" "No! No it didn't, because a lot of people have the same last name and aren't related!" "Breeding isn't a fucking common last name Lena!" " You and Carnell don't even look a like!" "You should've asked him about us then." "Why would I? Carnell wasn't going to bring me or any girl around you guys. Carnell-" "How many many times are you going to say his name? Damn." "What do you want me to call him? I can't believe your being so petty"
