My True Life Story

The New Arrival

Once school had finished I went down and waited to be picked up except, this time I wasnt waiting. My step father was already there waiting for me. I ran to the car and got in the car and I asked him, "Are we going to go to the hospital now?" he replied, "We will soon, just have to go home and get some things to take up there." I didn't think anything of it of course and when we pulled up, I walked inside and went down the hallway to my room to put my things away and get changed. When I walked out I walked into the lounge room to see if my step father was ready to go and there I saw my mother and little sister hiding in the corner to surprise me as I got home! I ran over and gave them both a big hug and my little sister was sound asleep.

Next minute we heard a car pull up in the driveway and it was my pops car and I said, "Pop is here" my mother and step father both got up and went to the door but before they could, my brother stormed in, slamming the door behind him. Thankfully this didn't wake my sister up. My pop said that my brother insisted on coming back. My mother didn't say anything as she was glad to have him back. The next day, I got up and got ready for school as did my brother and my step father dropped me off at school and then took my brother to school afterwards. When I got home that afternoon, I could hear screaming and yelling coming from my brothers room. I walked to my room and saw my mother and brother fighting with each other because my brother got caught smoking at school and lit a smoke in the principles office and then got suspended from school. One of the things I heard my brother yelling to my mother was, "You are such a fucking bitch I wish you were dead!" this obviously broke my mother's heart and walked away and my brother stormed out of the house again and went back to my nan and pops.

We didn't hear anything from my brother for a while. My mother tried calling to speak to him but he refused to talk to her. My little sister was doing great a nice healthy, little girl with a head full of long blonde hair. My step father went back to work and one day after dropping me off at school, my mother decided to go out for the day to catch up with some friends. She was out all day until she had to pick me up from school. We got home and I walked in the door first to put my stuff away before going back to the car to help get the rest of the things. As I walked in, I noticed the whole house was trashed and pulled apart. The computer screen was smashed, the TV was on the ground, everything was pulled from the cupboards in the hallway and even my little sisters belongings were destroyed and a photo of my mother had been set on fire. My mother walked in asking what was taking me so long and then she  saw it. She couldn't believe it and asked me to look after my sister while she made a call.

She called my nan and pop to ask if my brother had gone to the house that day and my pop said that my brother wanted to get some more stuff and my pop sat in the car while he waited. My mother then told him what my brother had done and my pop went down to my brothers room at their place and gave my brother the phone not saying who it was and my mother and brother started fighting again and my brother said to my mother, "I wish you were all fucking dead. I will wait until you are all asleep and I will burn you all alive! I wish you would get hit by a train and fucking die!" my brother hung up before my mother could say anything.

I asked my mother if she was okay and she didn't say anything back. She just walked past and went to her room. My step father got home from work and asked where my mother was and I said she was in her room and said that she had another fight today. My step father went in there to talk to her and they were in there for quite a while but eventually both of them walked back out and pretended as if nothing had happened. After dinner, my mother put my sister to bed and I went to bed as well. As I was nearly asleep the house phone rang and my step father answered and this time he was yelling. I walked out just as my mother started yelling, "just stop it! Both of you, just fucking stop!" my step father cracked the shits and handed the phone to my mother and then she started yelling at my brother again as well. I tried asking if everything was okay but no one would talk back to me. I closed my bedroom door and just sat on my bed and started to cry and thought to myself, why is this happening? It was now the weekend and I didn't have school which was more than okay with me. I walked out of my room and everyone was still quiet and not talking. I sat in the lounge room and just played with my sister until my mother came in and picked her up for her mid day meal and sleep. I still just sat there and put on a movie for a while until I went back to my room and played some video games.

It was getting to dinner time so I went for a shower and got freshened up. We all sat at the table and everyone was still quiet. I turned round and asked, "when is he coming back home?" my step father replied, "he's not." and my mother angrily replied, "that's enough! He will come home when he's ready now let's stop talking about it and eat!" After dinner, I did the dishes and went to bed. Again just as I was nearly asleep, the house phone rang again and this time, no one was answering. I walked out and answered the phone. "Hello?" my brother on the other end replied, "put your mother on now!" I went to go get her but saw she was asleep. I replied back to him, "sorry I can't she's asleep you will have to call back tomorrow." he  exclaimed back, "Just put her on the fucking phone before I smash your fucking head in!" I woke my mother up and said who was on the phone and within seconds of being on the phone the yelling and screaming started again. There wasn't much I could do or say so I just went back to my room and went to bed.

The next morning I woke up and went out to the lounge room where my sister was and I sat with her for a bit. After a while the house phone rang again and I answered again and this time it was nan. "yeah, can you put your mother on please?" I walked outside and gave my mother the phone.

My nan to tell my mother that my brother has decided to not go back to school and instead is going to go work with her on the farm. My mother didn't really know what to say apart from agree.
