Emo Love Stories

Zack ~ Step Brother

I was walking home from a very tough time at school; once again I got bullied and beaten up again that's why if my parents ask why I have a black eye and a fat lip I will say I fell over and it hurt really badly yeah that should work. I grabbed my keys from my bag putting it into the lock turning it and walking inside. I could hear my parents talking in the living room. I put my bag down near the front door and turned heading towards the lounge.

        "Hey" I called out but nothing was said back. So I tuned my body to look at them making sure not to show much of my eye or lip. My parents weren't themselves I could tell because my mother kept looking down she only does that when she is nervous or is lying about something involving me. My dad on the other hand he kept looking into space which normally doesn't happen he is usually alert.

        "What's going on?" I asked really confused now wondering what has happened or worse yet what is going to happen.

        "Well_____ it turns out that I can't have any more children and your father and I thought about you and how we don't want your childhood to be alone with no siblings so we decided that we are going to the adoption care home and we will be back later" I nodded as they left. Many thought were going through my head wondering why they thought I was lonely. I didn't expect them knowing I had 1 friend; but I always wanted a sister but I got used to the fact that my parents kept telling me that they weren't going to have any more children and now I know why. I was standing in the lounge for at least 10 minutes till thinking about this whole situation I then went into the kitchen grabbing an apple from the bowl taking a bite out of it. Whilst I was eating my apple I travelled upstairs and into my room: . It has been a couple of hours since my parents had left when finally they returned home from the adoption care home.

        "_____ come downstairs" I shouted back that I was on my way. I got up from my bed and walked over to the door opened it and went downstairs. Once I got to the bottom step I peered up and saw a boy standing there.

        "Who's that?" you asked eye brows raised.

        "This is Zack. He will now be a member of our family" I stared at Zack; just as my parents looked away Zack rolled his eyes and looked down. In my mind I thought that he was rude; so I decided to copy his rudeness.

        "Hi to you to" when my mother turned towards us I told her that I was planning on going back to my room.

        "Stay and get to know Zack a bit more" I signed and sat on the couch in the living room. Soon after Zack sat opposite me. After sitting there uncomfortable my parents decided to let me show him round the house to get a better feel of it whilst they go get groceries. When my parents left we both looked at each other in complete disgust.

        "Look I know you don't like me so cut the crap around my parents got that? Now let's get this over with" I got up quickly walking away not before moving my body around.

        "Hurry up" he huffed loudly getting up slowly annoying me more until he was next to me waiting for my next move. We started with the kitchen. Not telling him much just the simple 'we eat here and get drinks end of story' we then moved round the house me not explaining very much but I gathered he got the gist of where everything was. The last place we went to was my room; but I stopped him right outside the door.

        "Under any circumstances you do NOT go into this room got that?" I peered at him. He just smirked at me.

        "That's your room there" as I was walking down the stairs I turned back and looked at him.

        "I have showed you all the rooms and that if you have any questions DON'T go to me ask my parents. My parents finally arrived home with the groceries but just in the neck of time as I was just about to leave the house.
