Not over you

Tomika POV

It's been two days since Freddy went to go talk to summer and no one of them have spoke about it but I really want to know so we can sort this out I mean it's been really hard for the gang lately being stuck in between them and it's not fair for us especially me because I can't pick a side I mean summers been my best friend for as long as I can remember and freddy's my brother and even though he cheated on summer he's still going to be my brother and I love him so seeing him miserable is also making me miserable I've always been close to Freddy but lately he's been distant but now I think it's time to finally talk to him and see what's going on
I walk to freddys room and knock on the door

"Come in" he says very tiredly

"Hey Freddo "

He just looks up at me then puts his face back in his pillow again I try walking to his bed before I trip over a pizza box .. ew this whole room is a pigsty and usually he's the neater one

"You really need to tidy this room , it's disgusting and while your at it take a shower and put in some deodorant"

"Freddy? Hello earth to Freddy"

"FREDRICK RICARDO HUERTA GET UP NOW YOU HAVENT BEEN OUT OF THIS ROOM IN MONTHS EXCEPT FOR DINNER AND IM NOT GOING TO LET YOU WASTE AWAY IN HERE AND AS MUCH AS I HATE TO ADMIT IT YOU HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY AND I AM NOT GOING TO LET YOU BE LIKE HOW MY DAD WAS TO ME TO YOUR CHILD SO GET THE HELL UP NOW AND SHOWER"

I think that got some sense into him because he got up and hugged me .. he knows I must be serious I never talk about my dad and he knows it's a sensitive subject I mean even summer doesn't know anything about my dad  and I think he realised that I'm not kidding because freddys the one I went to when I get upset about my dad and he would cheer me up then we would watch a movie and now I just want to help him like he's helped me

"Ive already told you , you don't need him in your life " he says that to me while letting go of the hug

"I know I mean I have enough people now who love me enough and anyway he may share the same DNA as me but your dad is my dad I mean he's the one who raised me , he helped me ride my first bike "

"Yeah and let's not forget the time when you brung that boy home and he went mental so mental that he literally made you do your homework in his office with him there and a bulletpoint board in between you and the boy" Freddy says that while laughing

"Yeah and we were suppose to build something together but we couldn't do we failed but he didn't even mind about that and also I was 7 I didn't even know what a crush was then so he had nothing to worry about . Anyway get a shower and get changed it's been a while since we went to the treehouse"

I walk out the room and go downstairs after about an hour freddy comes downstairs and we go out the back door to our treehouse that we haven't been in since I was 11 and he was 12 as soon as we walk in all the memories we had up here come back as I see all of our old toys and our old drawings .. no one has ever been in here before except me , Freddy , my mum and Dad

"Hey tomika look"

I turn around to see Freddy with the masks we made at school for our Halloween disco I was a pumpkin and he was Frankenstein

"This place is our childhood Freddy"

I sit down in our little stools and so does he  which tbh is a little small for us now ,, and we each grab a box of our old stuff and start going through it

"Yeah I know .. so why are we here mi ?"

"Do you Remember when we made a promise to never tell a lie in here"

"Yess it was after I lied to you about hanging out with Lawrence but you saw me with him and you got upset that I lied to you"

"Yeah I did .. and I want you to tell me the truth"

"What do you mean tomika? "

"I mean I know the thing with summer isn't the only thing bothering you and I want you to tell me what it is"

He looks at me and sighs

"What if I fail "

"Fail at what exactly?"

"The baby i already Ruined things with summer I don't want my child to hate me to"

"Your scared"

"Yeah .. I'm 18 I don't know the first thing about having a kid .. I mean I wanted to work on my music you know ..school of rock for a while but now I have a baby on the way and I don't know how I'll be able to do it"

He starts getting tears in his eyes and this is how I know I picked the right place because lying here is like breaking a sibling code and so is telling anyone about what we say here this place is just for us and it always will be and if my brother is going to be upset then I'll be here for him

"Freddy .. Summer might forgive you one day just give it time though it might not be the same and as for your child he/she is your blood and your going to be a great dad because I know you and school of rock is just going to show them how talented their father is and they're going to be so proud of you"

He just looks at me and smiles

"Thanks mi"

"Your welcome now there's just one more thing to do"

"What? "

"This"

I grab the silly string and spray it in his face he of course gets the other one and we start spraying it everywhere but I end up running out so I grab the water gun and make him really mad by not looking where I was aiming the gun  and I soaked ( dun dun dunnn)

HIS HAIR 😱😱

"My hair .. that's it "

He grabs the spare and bigger water gun and we end up having a water fight until we're called in for lunch 😂😂 what a fun day
