Chapter 6-
**Tamara’s POV**
I got home around midnight and I needed an explanation from my brother. Not for Tom, I really didn’t care about what happened to him. He deserved it anyways, but why would my brother risk it?.
I parked my car and saw that every light was off. So it’s just me and my brother… Perfect.
I went in and the door was locked. I grabbed the keys from my purse and opened the door. I turned on the living room light and everything was too quiet.
I went up the stairs to my room and dropped my stuff. I changed into my pajama pants and my tank top. I wrapped my hair into a messy bun and went to my brother’s room. I didn’t bother to knock. I mean, he wouldn’t be doing anything other than sleeping or texting.
I opened the door and when I did I heard a scream. A girly one.
I gasped. Then turned the light on. “What’s going on?” I asked. Stupid question. I did know what was going on. And in my house!.
“Damn” I heard my brother say.
“I’ll be right outside, and you, leave my house, NOW!” I said pointing to the girl, she nervously nodded and I closed the door. I heard a loud thud but hid my laughter.
Minutes later the girl came out with some pretty bad hair. I wonder why. Haha.
I heard her close the door downstairs. I saw the light of my brother’s room turn on.
I opened the door and stepped in. My brother was coming out of the bathroom in just his boxers.
I covered my eyes with my right hand but I know he saw the smile on my face.
“Thanks for ruining my night” He said, sitting down on his bed and flipping channels on his T.V.
“Sorry I didn’t know, but why are you bringing skanks in the house!?” I said putting my hands on my hips.
He looked over at me and shrugged. “I’m a guy and I have needs, if we don’t have parents in the house, then why not?”.
I gaped at him. “Doesn’t mean you can bring skanks here!”. “And put a damn shirt on!” I demanded.
He looked over at me again. “What? Are you getting turned on by my body?” He smirked.
“Gross. If so I would say it’s the other way around” I laughed.
He frowned but then followed my gaze. “Shit” He said, before running to the bathroom.
I laughed and sat on his bed. I lay down and stretched. I looked over to my side and screamed.
“AHHHH EWWW GROSS!!!” I screamed while getting out of the bed in one jump.
After 10 quiet minutes and me sitting on a far corner my brother came out. “Why were you screaming? And why are you sitting on the floor?” He asked.
“There’s a little gift on your bed and I don’t want to be near it” I said.
He rolled his eyes and laughed. “You’re so dramatic”. After he had taken care of that ‘situation’ and changed the covers he motioned for me to sit on the bed.
“So why are you here?” He asked.
Oh yeah, I came here for a reason. “Someone sent Tom to the hospital today”. I said.
He had a blank face. “Don’t tell me you didn’t see this coming” He said going over to his closet.
“So it was you?” I asked.
He turned around and smirked. “And proud”.
He took a white tank top and put it on. “Why?”.
“What do you mean why?!” He semi yelled.
I tried to answer but closed my mouth as soon as I opened it. “He deserved it and me being your brother and knowing about it, you think I was not going to do anything about it? Like C’mon the idiot had it coming, if it wasn’t from me then from someone else I hope he stays in the hospital for months so you can live in peace till then, I hate seeing my sister cry for an asshole that is not worth it, I hate to admit it but for him you just were a backup just like the girl you saw today when you came in. Same situation” He finished.
I felt my eyes burning but didn’t let any tears out. “I hope you’re not thinking about going to visit him in the hospital and on forgiving him because I will seriously punch some sense into you. He doesn’t deserve you, he took you for granted and for what? To go and don’t think twice about betraying you with your childhood best friend and the bitch that couldn’t bring herself to close her legs and say no to him, but you know it better than I do. If you go back to him, then nothing would have meant anything. Not your looks, not the way I stood up for you” He said. I could see he was angry, his face was red and I could hear him breathing heavily.
I never thought my brother would be the one to tell me this. I expected it from someone else but he was right. And there is no way in hell that I will forgive him, or visit him in the hospital.
“Thanks” I said. I was missing words right now. I was thinking on everything but nothing seemed to come out of my mouth.
“I don’t want a ‘thanks’ , I want you to tell me that you know I’m right, I want to make sure you’re not going back to that asshole. I would never hit you but I will take it out on him.” He said kneeling in front of me. I couldn’t hold it anymore. Tears started coming out of my eyes.
“Don’t cry, be strong. Remember that you are crying for a guy” He told me. This got me angry, because I knew he was right. I was crying over him.
“Just let them rot in their own world, trust me, guys like Tom don’t care about girls like you” He said. I looked at him.
“I know you may hate me, or just hate the fact that you think I’m trying to make you hate him. It’s not that. You know I’m a player. I don’t take any girl seriously. If I bang them I never call them back. That girl that you saw, she just gave me what I wanted, I’m never calling her back or looking for her, I never knew her” He finished. He was right. Again. That’s the way players thought of girls.
“Please tell me you didn’t lose your virginity to him” He gave me a worried look.
“No, never” I assured him.
“Good, that’s my sister. Now, stop crying over a man, trust me, it’s not worth and even if he knew, he still wouldn’t care”.
“You’re right on everything you’ve said” I told him.
“No, I just know what you’re going through and wanted to help you to heal fast” He said.
I smiled at him and I realized I had stopped crying long ago. He really did help me.
“Look, just live your life, stop worrying about everything” He said, then he got up and turned the T.V off.
I frowned. Why was he being so nice?.
“You want to sleep with me?” He smiled.
I just looked at him confused.
“Not like that silly, I don’t know, I thought that maybe you don’t want to sleep alone” He stated face blank.
“Oh, really? You would do that?” I asked.
He nodded. “Your room or my room?”.
“Yours, I’m already here” I said.
He chuckled. “Okay then”. He then lay down on the bed and I did too. He hugged me from behind and I thought for a moment.
Me and my brother sleeping on the same bed. I thought about going to my room but I heard him snore and I decided to stay just to not wake him up.
