Chapter 26 - Good things happen to people who wait

                                                | Ziare | Good things happen to people who wait

I know what happened , I know my dad would never do something like that. He could never at least I know he wouldn't do something like that. I know what happened! Right?

I was now waiting for him to call In a little while since he hasn't called since Sunday and it's now Tuesday night and I'm not going to school tomorrow it's to much stress , I'm sure every one at school might know what already happened.

'' Has Chris called yet?'' Trevis asked as he laid his head in my lap.'' Not yet. I don't think he is.'' I said getting upset all over again. '' Baby don't get upset. You know he can handle it. He don't want you to stress over him. Worry about going to school and taking care of your brother like you always have.'' He spoke with his eyes closed with one hand in his sweats and the other behind his head. '' I don't want to do that , I want to see what's going on with my dad.'' I complained.

He smacked his lips and stood up from the couch heading upstairs. '' Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do in order to get through shit. Things don't always go your way Ziare.'' He yelled downstairs with a attitude.

I hear what he's saying but why should I have to go through the same things I did before , It's like I step two steps forward and get pushed  five steps back. I can't ever succeed , I'm always doing what others want me to do. I need to be my own person , I'm tired of taking care of everyone else except for me. Either I'm catering to Zay or I'm catering to Trevis and I'm tired of this , I want to do me. I shouldn't be seventeen and doing so much , I'm suppose to be going to parties having fun, going through heart breaks , going through things. Experimenting , but I'm not , I can't. I'm tired of it.

'' Ziare are you mad at me? because you don't play with me anymore?'' Zay asked as he came from upstairs sitting near me alongside the couch. '' Why would I ever be mad at you? your my little brother. I'm always here. It's just that some things change and we have to switch it up. I promise when things get better we will go out and do something. Just me and you. Is that okay with you?'' I asked pulling him into me for a hug. '' Yes.'' He cheered as he ran up the stairs to his room.

'' Trevis?'' I said as I walked into my room to see him laying on my bed in his normal position. Left hand in his pants and the right hand behind his head. '' What?'' He said nonchalantly. '' What's your problem?''

'' Ya know your being really hot headed about this situation. I understand that your hurt because Chris is in jail but damn let him handle the shit. He knows what he's doing this isn't his first time at this , He didn't do what they're accusing him of doing so he should be out no time soon. The best thing you can do is go to school get your education and continue to help out with Zayveon. That's it that's all.'' He raised his voice a little showing his frustration.

'' That's your problem? About me! really? You don't understand I'm only eighteen there's only so much I can do. After all this stuff Zaytreon and I have been through I figured we could've at least gotten a break. I mean I want a break ! I've done so much shit for everybody else I can't do any thing for myself. I'm supposed to be living it up , experimenting , going to parties , heart breaks. You know? I just want to be a normal teen in high school doing me.'' I said starting to break down as I sat on the bed besides Trevis.

'' Baby I know that , but your not a normal teen your so much better than that. I believe in you , you can do so much. Your special , god won't give you anything you can't handle.'' He encouraged me as he sat up , pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. '' Thank you.''

When I had woken up I was in between Trevis arms. When I turned my head to look at the clock it was going on five-thirty , I decided to get up and get ready for school and wake Zay up in another hour or so.

Trying to get out of his grip was another thing , I couldn't get out of his grasp. '' Trey.'' I whispered trying to shake him awake. '' Uh-Huh.'' He mumbled as he grabbed me tighter and turned over onto his back. '' Wake up.'' I said as I poked his face so he'd at least move or loosen his grip. '' Just lay with me for a little while.'' He whispered into my ear. '' Baeeeeeeeeeee.'' I whined. He chuckled and then finally let me go.

'' You going to school today?'' He asked finally getting up and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. ''Yes, I can't keep putting this behind me. I'd rather be called fat and ugly than let my brother and my father down.'' I said as I walked to my closet to get something to wear out.

He chuckled. '' You should wear your khaki skinnies with your black & red jays and that crewkneck I bought you.'' he said as he walked in the bathroom to do what ever he had to do. '' You know my whole wardrobe don't you?'' I asked sarcastically. '' You know it.''

While I was getting ready to take a shower and get everything ready I heard knocking at the door , or at least I think I heard knocking.

'' You heard that?'' Trevis asked as he opened my door. '' Yeah. I think that's the door.'' I said following Trevis down the stairs.

'' Who is it?'' Trevis asked through the door.

No answer!

'' Open it.'' I pushed. As he un did the locks and opened the door to come face to face with someone.

'' DADDY.'' I Screamed.
