"But I'm only human. I bleed when I fall down. I'm only human. and I crash and I breaks down."

"Carter!" I yelled after him as he ran out of the house. Damian followed after me but Carter was already out of the house and running down the street.

"Carter! Get your ass back here!" Damian yelled unlocking his car. I looked at him, my hair hitting my face, leaning against him.

"Damian-"

"Go to school, I got him." He said looking into my eyes. I opened my mouth to protest but he just shook his head.

"He's my brother, please." I begged. Damian looked at the running away Carter and shook his head.

"I have to go. Try to stay out of trouble kid, I'm sorry."

I shook my head and ran after Carter, ignoring Damian's yelling. I could see Phoenix Jeep turning the corner.

Ignoring him, my legs carried me to Carter, following closely behind him. My legs pushed harder than ever, like a gazelle.

"Carter!" I yelled finally catching up to him as people started to come at us. I followed him into the ally, Damian's car speeding ahead of us. My eyes started to become blurry as the tears started to fall from my eyes. 

Thinking back to this morning, something was wrong the moment I walked in. Damian and Carter were silently fighting, giving each other glares and whatnot. But when I walked in, Damian shook his head and slammed down the knife he was holding.

"I never fucking ask for to much, just that you're honest with me. And you can't even do that! Who knows what else you've been hiding." Damian muttered trying not to make me notice but I did anyway and walked back into the living room, out of the kitchen but I could still hear them talking.

"I am being honest with you." Carter said, his voice was toned with anger and remorse.

"No! You weren't fucking being honest with me and now all I'm asking is what happened and why you didn't tell me."

"Just leave me alone! I can't even think!"

"Carter, just talk to me."

"I-I can't."

"Yes, you can. Please, I just need to know that you are okay."

"You're not suppose to worry about that type of stuff. I am! Not you, just leave me alone!"

"I am suppose to worry, I love you for fucks sake. Why do you think I'm doing this everyday? Why do you think I let you kiss me and do whatever you like with me? Why do you think I just go along with it? Why do you think I'm doing this?"

"Y-You're talking to fast!"

"I just want to-to-to know why Carter, please." Damian cried. I could hear the pain behind both of their voices.

Damian being the persistent, demanding, and sometimes a bit smothering person he is but loving, compassionate, and just motherly person he is. Compared to the closed up, loose case my brother is.

My brother bottles everything inside and explodes when he fights but Damian just wants to open the cap before it gets shaken.

"I can't! I don't know why I didn't tell you I was molested! Raped! I don't know why, Okay? I don't. Just leave me alone!"

And that's where we are today. I know Damian didn't mean it like that, he just didn't know how to deal with an angry and sad Carter. He didn't know what to do or how to react. But now, I'm pushing strangers out of the way and chasing after my brother.
