Just listen

Just Listen Chapter four - Alex

"Miguel te dije que te vayas! NOW!!" My mother screamed at my father.

"Y que tal si no? Aver mujer, quien le va dar de comer alos niños?" He responded.

I was tired of it. Always the same shit, I didn't want my brother to hear their fighting again, I didn't want Mikey to grow up the way I did.

"Mikey comon bud let's go play outside" I told him trying to block out my parents yelling.

"Outside? But I'm hungry" he said I heard his stomach growl.

"Let's go get something to eat entonces." I ruffed his hair, and grabbed my car keys.

I was tired of this always happening, when I was younger things were better, we didn't have much but they loved eachother, we all loved eachother. But then my dad got a new job and my mom heard rumors that he was seeing someone else at his office.

I didn't blame her, he did start coming home later than usual. But then again, why would they want to leave eachother, when up in the altar they promised to be together forever?

"Comon Mikey, let's get out of here." They didn't even hear us leave, I wanted to slam the door, to show that we were leaving, but I didn't want to scare Mikey more.

"So where do you want to go bud?" I asked my brother once we were outside.

"I wanted to eat with mommy, and daddy." He said and looked down.

"I know Mikey, but there a little busy right now..." I said. I saw a tear slide down his little face.

I knew I couldn't just ignore those tears, I didn't want him to cry. So i said "I'll make sure they come with us next time okay bud?"

"Promise?" he said.

I couldn't lie to my little brother, but I looked into those big brown hazel eyes of his, filling up with tears, all because of my stupid parents.

"I promise" I said, holding in tears myself.

"Super secret of big sisterhood promise?" He said starting to smile a bit.

I laughed at his innocence, "I Super secret of big sisterhood promise." And I meant it.

I didn't care how, but I was going to get us to eat all together, for the sake of Mikey, if it was up to me I would have moved away, with Mikey. We were better off without them. They don't even bother feeding us I have to remind them constantly that they have two kids who need to be fed and taken care of. They don't care they give me money and a car, to basically take care of Mikey. I've grown used to it, at home i take care of Mikey, and try my best to show him that I care and love him.

I don't know where my parents went wrong in there marriage. I just remember coming home from school one day to screaming, breaking of glass. I didn't know what to do so I left running away, I ran faster than I ever have before. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew what I was running from.

I somehow ended up at the park, and I just stayed there. I climbed up the rockwall, and sat ontop, I could see my house it was so small. I realized how beutiful the sun looked as it was going down, it was only 5:30, during the fall as the leaves falling peacefully to the ground.

Then I heard a voice, "Yeah I like coming up here to see the sunset, it looks really big, makes my life seem smaller." I turned around to see Samantha Lynwood. Little did I know, that we would become best friends, we both had around the same problem. Our parents, but her parents already got a divorce.

Her dad did cheat on her mom, it was hard for her, but I was there for her. I knew I would always be. She and Mikey were the only people I would ever show I cared for.

Never again would I put my trust into anyone, I didn't want the same thing that happened to my parents, to happen to me. It was a total waste of time.
