I HAD COMPLETELY forgot about Carl. It was so hard to remember him when he had a sweet sister. Carl was my age and was a complete hood. He stole, smoked, drank, and did anything of the sort. Just his presence gave me chills. We had never talked before but we did have two classes together.
People like him and I didn't mix. I was the good not hood type. He was the hood not good type. Simple. It doesn't take a scientist to realize that.
He opened the fridge and took out a beer.
"Pop," the sound of the cap hitting the floor echoed.
"Imma be with the dogs won't be home till later," he said. He pulled out a sandwich and smelled it. He instantly put it back in the fridge and made a sour face.
I sunk deeper and deeper into my chair. He took his beer and walked out the door.
"And that's my younger brother Carl," Debbie said sighing.
When we finished eating I helped Fiona clean up. When that was finished I hopped in her car and she drove me home. She pulled up in front of my house. I thanked her and then ran up the stairs of my house.
I opened the door and saw my older brother Kyle sitting on the couch. Kyle and I mostly didn't get along. Sometimes we would and sometimes we just don't. We were total opposites anyway. He was rebellious and I was fragile.
"Where's Delilah?" I asked him.
Delilah was my aunt. In my house I lived with Delilah my older cousin, and Kyle. My parents left us a long time ago and my older cousin Delilah took us in. She's crazy let me tell you. She's got purple hair and she's quite a hippie.
"How would I know? If she's out she's out," he said his eyes glued to the television.
I walked to my room. My room was very small. It consisted of a bed, a dresser, and a hamper. I threw my stuff on my bed and lied down across it. I put on some sweats and a t-shirt. I hopped under the covers and fell asleep.
- ♕ -
I woke up to the smell of pancakes. I followed the smell into the kitchen.
Delilah stood over the stove flipping pancakes. I took a seat down at the table.
"Ah Hadley," she said taking the cigarette out of her mouth and kissing my forehead. She put a pancake on my plate and drizzled some syrup.
Kyle walked out of his room.
"Good morning Kyle," Delilah yelled.
He just waved and walked out the door.
"Teenagers," she said.
I don't get why adults say that. They say it when we are moody and stuff like all teenagers are like that. I'm fifteen, a teenager and I don't act like that.
Once I was done eating I finished getting ready and walked out of the house.
When I arrived at school I spotted Debbie across the parking lot.
We met up and talked until it was time to go to class.
At lunch we talked more and more.
"So do you have any siblings?" Debbie asked.
"Yes. I have an older brother Kyle he's a total dipshit. He's 17." I said.
"Well I was wondering if you would like to come to my house tomorrow to sleep over. Carl is having some of his jerk friends over and I don't want to be sucked into all that. Please please please," she begged me until I gave in and said yes.
She squealed and began telling me all the fun stuff we would do. Like eat lots of food, talk about life, and then watch a scary movie.
When school was over I walked home and was surprised to see Kyle home before me. He had some of his friends over. His friends were also dipshits. They did such stupid shit that boggled my mind how they weren't dead.
"Hey Hadley," they sneered. They all laughed and I walked into my room and shut my door.
I lied on my bed and did some of my homework. My door opened wide and I saw Kyle leaning against the door.
"Knock next time," I said angry.
"Alright sure. I need some money. You got any cash on you?" He asked.
"No I don't," I said.
"Okay. I'm going out with the guys won't be back to later," he said and shut my door.
Moments later I heard the sound of their exhausts speed off. I walked into the kitchen and made myself some food. I picked up my Shih Tzu Lilly and kissed the top of her head. I sat on the couch and picked at the food and cuddled with Lilly.
I was deep in my favorite tv show when I heard the front door slam. I jolted upwards and spilled the nachos on the floor. I heard Kyle laugh.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" I yelled.
"That was funny," he said.
"Clean this up," I said.
"Nah," he said.
I growled and picked up the crumbs on the floor.
I threw away the trash and knocked on Delilahs door. I opened it and the smell of cigarettes whiffed in my face. I had to step back a little bit.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Just wanted to see if you were home," I said.
"Well I'm home," she said laughing.
"Right right," I said and shut the door.
I walked into my room and lied down on my bed. I slowly fell asleep only to be awoken by yelling. I threw the blankets off of me and ran into the living room to see what was going on.
"Give them back Kyle I know you have them!" Delilah yelled.
"I don't fucking have them you're crazy," he screamed back at her.
"What's going on?" I asked rubbing my eyes.
"Fucking Delilah thinks I stole her pills," Kyle said.
"Well did you?" I asked.
"No I fucking didn't," he yelled.
"Alright I bet they will show up," I said to Delilah.
"They better," she said and she walked away.
Kyle huffed and walked back into his room.
I went back into mine and climbed into my bed. I'm always the referee with these
