At the end of an uneventful school day , as I walked to where my car was parked , bookbag in hand , I spotted my brother , Dominick leaning on my black Audi with his arms thrown over one of his play things . That car is my one true love . What ? I love cars , especially fast ones . I know more about cars than I do about dolls .

He loosened his hold on the girl and met me half way enveloping me in a bear hug . " Bethany , I've missed you" he said making sure to ruffle my hair .

Dominick and I only share a father , but surprisingly we're pretty close . I dont know if it's because we share the same hate for his mother . I remember him telling me he fell in love with my freckles and red hair .

" I told you countless times not to call me that in public Dom " I said while swatting his buldging biceps which he attained from all his training . He knows how much I hate my middle name , it's sounds like a name you'd give to a cow .

" I'm sorry but I can't resist , you just look too cute when your mad sis "

"Dominick , if you call me that one more time I'll make the whole female population know that your middle name is Edgar " I threaten

His smirk he wore flattened knowing all too well that I'd do exactly what I just said .

" You wouldn't dare "

" Oh yes I would "

I laughed at the panic in his eyes , i wouldn't really call him that , it would lower is social status and this boy right here likes to be on top .

"Who's the hotty ?" I asked while tilting my head in the direction of the brunette still leaning quietly against my car .

" Oh , that's Melissa , we're gonna hang out " he told me smugly .

Dominick's definition of hanging out involved a bed or the floor or even possibly a tree and absolutely no clothes , so you get what I'm saying .

"Dom come on , she doesn't look a year over 17 , cant you just settle down and leave these poor girls alone ?"

I constantly tell my brother to find a girl and stick to her but all my lectures go through on ear and comes through the other . He found the right one at a point but he messed up . Still don't know what he did since either of them won't tell me .

" How about they leave me alone , they basically force themselves onto me , they're so easy , they don't show any qualities that stand out and make me want to settle down . " he explains. I guess most of the girls at Sandy Bay High are easy .

" You could always say no , be the bigger person and spare them the heartbreak cause you know you don't want them "

" They know I don't want them , they just think they can change me and that can never happen "

I pat him on the shoulder realising he's a lost cause .

He walks back over to my car holding me by my wrist , the girl face scrunched up at the action . One of the things I love about Dominick is that he made all his 'hoes' know that when it came to me and them , I come first .

" I'll be taking off now Lizzy , see you at home " he called out as he wrapped his arm around the girl's waist .

I got into my car and I arrived at our three story house not too long after .
The house next to ours had some furniture on the sidewalk , the lady that owned it died a few weeks back . She was old , so she didn't come out much so I don't really know her .
