BEYOND THE EYES OF A DEMON

CHAPTER 2- ALWAYS ME

It was a Saturday morning and few weeks to new year. I jerked off bed and grabbed my pillow with both hands. Like an accumulated energy without reflex,i threw it at my brothers face. It was a pity he was still deep asleep but for Gods sake it was already 10:00am in the morning. He threw it at me with so much anger expressed on his sleepy face.
"Fuck off jerk!"
He screamed at me and I laughed hard until I could see him walking clumsily to the bathroom and then shorting the door. I knew I had vexed him and that was making the scores 1-1 as for what he did yesterday. He actually did that a lot to me each morning and this was my first time and so I guess I should be entertaining myself with some micheal Jackson dance. I moved to the mirror and did just that before I heard something break in the bathroom. I pushed the bathroom door open in fear that my younger brother was sleep walking as a result of my foolish jokes and had now smashed his head on the mirrow while brushing.
"Jason!Jason!...are you okay?" I screamed as i ran into the bathroom and holy shit! My phone was laying in broken pieces on the floor while its particles journeyed to different parts of the bathroom. To be sincere,it wasn't my phone. It was given to me by one of the gang boys in college,the boys who bullied me. They had given me the phone to hide for reasons best known to them. They didn't explain the reason and I never dared to ask unless I would get my head deeped into water for 30minutes and then black out. I can remember the first day I had brought it back home and got questioned for it by my mum and dad. I told them I had received a great award in school with financial benefits and I had used the money to get a phone. I was very happy they believed me and for 2 weeks now,they haven't asked about it and now my brother just broke it without mercy and I will kill him without mercy. I grabbed him on his collar and pushed him to the wall. I was about to throw him a punch when my mum walked inside and pulled up apart.
"What's going on here?" She screamed. Her face looked like it had been smashed with a hammer and yes I was about to do that to her son if she stepped back a little.
"Mum!...Jason just..."
"What did he do that you are so violent towards him this morning. I thought you always called him your loving brother..so what's wrong now?"
My mum screamed and just when I wanted to open my mouth to speak something reasonable, my junior brother spat something as stupid as his current action.
"Its all his fault mum..tell me what this phone means to you.."
"" that's a big lie!!!"
"Quite Robert!...you always cause so much trouble...what's wrong with you?...why don't you act your age?...you are older than him. He is only 13 and you are 19..please be more responsible. You don't need to fight with your younger brother ...okay?"
    With this words of hers,she walked out of the room,fully convinced that I won't touch him after she left and for real,I wouldn't.
    I slowly picked up the pieces of my phone and walked out of the bathroom and into my room. My head was aching trying to piece together were its pain was coming from. Was it the punishment I was going to receive from the gang boys or how my mother always found me guilty for the faults of my brother. I was only joking with him when I did that and it wasn't supposed to be taken seriously. My brother was quick to anger and I knew that but I didn't expect him to break my phone. It wasn't fair for my mum to always blame me each time my brother did something foolish.
      I could remember the time my brother  had gotten into trouble with a group of guys and he phoned me,telling me the danger he was into. They beat him up without mercy before I could arrive and my mum blamed it on me saying I hadn't taken up responsibly being that I was supposed to fly like batman to his rescue right?
That incident was in the past but the present issue was similar and so I just had to think of it.
    I looked at the phone with its parts pressed while some cracked. The thought of my penalty for this lingered in my head until I could feel nothing but the urge to sleep.
