My Bestfriend's Brother

8

"Wow. Miss me that much to go to stalk me all the way to my house?" Sam said smirking.

"Uhh? Since when did you live here?" "Since the end of summer?" "Uhh, I have no time to deal with this right now. Is Momma Jacks there?" "Uhh, Momma Jacks?" He asked looking utterly confused. "Ahh yeah. Uhm.. Mrs. Jackson?" "Oh, right. Maa! Someone's by the door" He shouted and I heard footsteps and Momma Jacks was already by the door.

"Oh, Cathy. Come in, I'm cleaning up Seth's wounds."

I went in awkwardly since Sam looks still bewildered that his Momma Jacks and I know each other. I followed her to the kitchen (with Sam still behind me following), I saw Seth at the table with an ice pack on his head. His lip was busted and there are a few bruises on his arm. I rushed to the sink to get some wet towel and dabbed it on Seth's lip. He winced in pain but I just shook my head and continued.

"Here is your coffee Seth. I'll leave you two talk," Momma Jacks said setting his coffee down at the table and leaving the kitchen. And I noticed Sam is still by the kitchen door looking at us.

Both of us remained silent while we sat there for a few minutes and he is drinking his coffee.

"One party I didn't come to you and you already broke your promise. And despite all that you got into a fight again. I mean come on Seth." He remained silent and continued drinking his coffee.

"Seth Louie Jackson," I stated eyeing him. He just shrugged at got up. He placed his cup on the sink and walked out going up to his room. I followed closely behind him completely ignoring Sam which is by the way still leaning against the door frame of the kitchen door watching us.

In Seth's room.........

"Seth! Talk to me! What happened? Why didn't you tell me about Sam?! I thought we we're best friends " I shouted. He rubbed his templed, stripped his clothes and lay down on his bed.

"I'm talking to you damn it." I said throwing him a pillow.

"Cathy, my head hurts, I got beat up and I'm still pretty drunk. How bout we sleep first, and I'll answer the question first this tomorrow."

I threw him another pillow and got to his bed laying down beside me.

"You're lucky I love you but tomorrow, you're facing my wrath." I said and by that we all went to sleep.

"turn it off," he mumbled and I did.

I got off his bed and pulled my hair into a messy bun.

"do you want me to get you coffee?"

"That'll be great. thanks."

"Don't thank me yet because we still have a lot to talk about,' by that I got out of his room and went to the kitchen.

I went to the kitchen and started the coffee and toast. When I went to the frige, I saw a note from Momma Jacks.

Cathy, 

Thank you for handling Seth. I'll just go to the market for some food and supplies. Stay till then okay?

-Momma J

"So you and Mom are pretty close," someone said from my behind. I turned around and saw Sam leaning by the door frame eyeing me.

"I didn't know Seth had a brother."
