Playing Fire With Fire (0n Hold)

PFWF 7

James got out of school a few minutes after Samantha left; he approached me and gave me a hug.

"Hey sissy, I heard what happened today, I went to search for you but I couldn't find you" He said putting an arm around my shoulder.

"It's okay I was in the locker's room showers, with a friend that I made, her name's Samantha you'd defiantly like her" I said.

"Sure" He said "Come on now let's go search for a job" he took my hand and led me to a bus station that could take us to the city.

We just got out of the tenth dinner, and still no one would hire an inexperienced guy. I sighed in exasperation; I looked around the place, to find stores already putting, the colorful Christmas lights, and hanging decorations, on the trees. Aaah Christmas, it was supposed to be a great holiday, but it's my brother and I's birthday, and unfortunately so is my mom's third year death anniversary.

We haven't celebrated our birthday since then, the 25th of December was a day where my brother would lock himself up in his room, I would go to a bar and drink, and my father would be too busy hooking up with other women. That's how each one of us acted, for a week we wouldn't talk to each other, and we would steer clear from one another, well at least James and I, but my father on the other hand would give us a special beating.

He did blame me for her death, because I was there with her in the hospital room when she died. He accused me of killing her, since I wasn't fast enough and couldn't get help. I do to, I believed if I knew what was happening I would have been able to save her, but because I am such a fuck up, I couldn't do so. That's why I have such a cold exterior in front of people, I was already broken enough at home, I didn't more heartbreaks, the only people that know about my true self are my father and brother.

The dreaded date was in exactly a month from now, God please help us.

Well moving on from the subject, I saw a small wanted sign on one of the windows of a cafe. I dragged Jay to it, and pushed the door open; it made a light bell sound, announcing that a new visitor was here.

The place was small and cozy, there was an old lady behind the counter, and she looked at us with a big smile on her face.

"Hello loves, what can I get you" She said leaning on the counter the smile still plastered on her face.

"Hello ma'am, my name's James, and I'm new in town, I was wondering if you are still hiring."

"Of course young man, I was waiting for someone to apply, it gets lonely sometimes in here, come with me so I can give you a schedule." She said gesturing for him to follow her. I just stood there a blank look on my face, she was too happy, for her own good, I thought.

I sat down on the chair, and looked through the menu; they had really special hot beverages, like caramel mocha.

I browsed some more through the menu since I'm going to be here a lot waiting for James.

"Thank you, Mrs. Wellington, it was pleasure meeting you, see you tomorrow" He said waving at her, she just waved back at us.

We got out of the cafe, and James was smiling like a mad man, it's been so long since he smiled like that, maybe the anniversary this year would be different for him. Even though I didn't smile a lot, I was so happy on the inside, to see him this happy. Yeah I would throw a small smile here and there but that's it. I had too much on my plate to be smiling, and the first on my list was Jay.

"Bells it's really late, he is certainly at home now, what should we do" He said getting up on the bus and sitting down.

"The first thing you're going to do is go and take your pills, did you hear me mister? I know you haven't taken them today." I said with a warning tone.

"But Bella they taste awful" He whined.

"James don't you get it' it's for your own good, I can't possibly loose you too and you know that, then after taking your pills, you will go immediately to your room, do you hear me?" I said in all seriousness.

"But Bella, What about dad? He asked

"I'll take care of him don't worry" I said.

"But-" He said but I cut him off.

"No buts James I've always handled him before, now shut up" I said turning to the window and looking out, which was sign that this conversation was over, James just let out a sigh knowing, that he won't win this argument. James had diabetes, and he had a tendency of not taking his spills, one time, when I had this big fight, I got home at night and found him lying on the floor, like a dead person. At first I was really scared, I didn't know what to do. So that's why I need to check upon him every five minute, and let him call me if anything happened. Even though I was a badass, my brother was one of my weaknesses.

We were on our doorstep, trying to open the door as silently as possible, but to mu luck, my dad noticed, and yanked the door open.

"Where were you this late" He asked.

I nudged James and told him to sneak through the back door; the nudge was kind of a way to tell him to go by another door. He was hesitant at first but then I nudged him again, and glared at him, he got the message, and went slowly to the back of the house. My father yanked me by the hair and threw me on the floor almost hitting my head.

"Should I repeat myself slut, where were you?" He gritted threw his teeth, and bent down.

"I don't have to explain myself to you bastard" I said spitting in his face.

"Don't you dare disrespect your father, you whore" he said kicking my side. I bit my lips, keeping myself from screaming.

"You're not my father" I said laughing. The next thing I knew a fist was coming right to my face, blood began oozing from my mouth and nose, this fucking bastard. I just laughed again.

"Is that all you got? You're punch is weaker, than a toddler's punch" I said.

He looked red, if we were on a cartoon, you could see smoke coming out of his ears. He started kicking, and punching, till he threw an empty bottle on my head, and then everything started to turn black, until it consumed me completely.
