Stepbrothers (Paused!!) (Editting!!!!)

Chapter 4

It's been less than five days since my mom and I moved in with our new family and so far I've had it. I miss my dad and my small house. I miss sleeping 8 hours instead of just 4. I'm homesick. There I said it.

My hair is greasy and sticky, my clothes itches my skin making it feel really really uncomfortable for me being here. I need to take a shower, for my future step brothers or should I just say step brothers know I haven't taken a shower since I've got here because I'm not the kind of person who just goes to a stranger's house and showers. Even though this is supposed to be my house too.

Angel and I haven't talked to each other since that night, those were the only few words that we ever spoke to each other and other than that he hasn't talked to me at all. Unlike Luke and Mark who are always knocking my on my room's door to see what I'm up to or what I'm doing.

I wish they knew that they're just invading my space. I've always been an only child and having bothers was never ever a thought for me after my mother turned 39. "But, maybe this change is good" my mom said yesterday "you guys will get along and be such amazing siblings and will win the best siblings ever award." She doesn't know what she's saying she doesn't know who they are. I think she got used to the sound of loud music playing every single night now everytime I try to tell Angel to turn it off, the door is locked so I can't go in. I know it sucks.

Christmas is almost here it's in about a few days away and no one has decorated a single corner of the house. I grabbed my phone from under my pillow case and turn it on its December 22nd two more days to Christmas. My phone ding to the sound of a message it's my best friend we've been trying to keep contact but sometimes we just don't talk to each other as much as we used to. I understand she is busy she has a family she has a brother. She has stuff much more important than the best friend who just moved away and will probably never come back.

My mother knocks on the door come in I come in she walks in playing with her fingers like she wants to tell me something that is not sure I will like it. I looked up at her. "what is it?" I ask nervous.

"Well you know Christmas is almost here?" I nod and let her continue what she needs to say. "It's kind of late and we really need to hurry if we want to celebrate it. Andrew doesn't really like celebrating Christmas, but now that we are here he wants to make it a nice dinner. Will you come to the store with me, Luke and Mark to buy a turkey?" What kind of family doesn't like celebrating Christmas? I look up at her confused. Did she just say Luke and Mark? All my life it's only been; Mom and I we go shopping together we go get groceries together it's never ever been 'do you want to go to the store with Luke and Mark?' Jealousy is all I've been feeling since I've been here. I don't want to share my mom and I'm sure the boys don't want to share their dad this is really hard for me and for all of us really. The only people who are kind of enjoying it it's my mom and Mr. Rivers because they are the ones together and not being forced to live with each other. They wanted to live with each other. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't want my mom to be happy I really do, but this is not my idea of us being happy. The man is a good guy but something about him is not right I don't know what it is I don't know how to explain it but I just don't like it.

Luke and Mark are outside of my room all ready to go to the store with me and my mom... There Hairs are up and are both wearing large shirts all the way down to their waist of bands that I could only have thought of. I'm sure they are some old ones that Angel didn't want anymore.

We get in the car my mom is driving obviously and I'm in the passenger seat. The kids are in the back playing loud music my mom puts two fingers on the bridge of her nose of frustration on a red light.

"Can you guys turn it down please?" I asked. They both give me a dirty look and turn off the music. I sigh of relief and turn back to my mom we both look at each other with tired faces I could tell she hasn't slept either. I guess she's still not used to sleeping like that at night. We get off the car and walking to the store as soon as we get in the boys began to run all over the place like if they never ever been to a store in their entire life.

"Boys stay together!" my mom insisted but they wouldn't listen. "Just leave them they'll find a way home." I joke but the joke Falls flat on the floor. My mom doesn't take the joke funny, I don't think she even listen to what I said.

My mom is the kind of person that says she's only going to get one thing at stores and then ends up getting a whole mess of other things. So that's what happened she got the turkey and then began to get other things like eggs and ham and bread and all that stuff. Before we were going to pay Luke and Mark grab a bunch of candy bars and put them on the cashier before my mom had a chance get rid of them. The lady took the candy bar and put them in the bag before my mom could stop her. I knew her face was boiling in anger but she kept a smile. I knew she wanted to slap them and so did I.

We came home and the boys went to the room without helping us bring the groceries in Mr. River is in the living room watching a soccer game on his big TV on the living room. Angel was in his room not coming out or anything either. I helped my mom put away the groceries. Luke and Mark came running inside because they were outside with Angel who finally decided to come out. They looked completely scared when they came in running. Angel came after them running too "I'm going to kill you guys I swear!" he yells. I notice his hair is damp and soaked with water. Water came down from his shirt and pants wetting the floor below him and everything.

"What did you guys do?!" Mr. Rivers ask serious. "They both push me in the pool! That's what happened!" He yells hugging his shoulders and trembling with cold.

"That is dangerous! You could have been stuck there! Rhe pool is frozen! You could have died!" For the first time since I've been here Angels face looks sad and scared I knew he wanted to cry, his nose turned red and his lip whimpered. My mom put her hand up to touch his face, "you're freezing" she said. Before she could touch his face he moved away and walked back to his room with his hands in his pockets. I knock on his door and came in without his permission. I stepped on wet clothes as I came in. I scan the room and found him in the corner of his room half naked again. I wanted to talk to him but the fact that I caught him crying made me feel embarrassed and that he would get really mad at me and probably yell, but before I could leave without him noticing me, it was to late. He saw me.

"Why did you come in her? you weren't supposed to see me like this what are you doing here?!" He wails. Tears running down his cheeks. Tears gathered up in my eyes too.

He continues to yell at me, I am a very sensitive person ever since I was little I hated being in trouble whenever teacher got me in trouble I cry and think about what I did the whole entire week. I ran to my room and crumbled up in a corner too. I don't want to be in this house with them. I'd rather put a knife in a toaster then staying here another night. But even if I beg my mom she would never listen to me I stay here and that's it I have to live with it I have to live with them.
