Soulmates

Chapter 4

The next day I woke up with a terribly aching head. So first I went into the bathroom and looked for some Aspirin. It was in the closet above the sink. I took one and swallowed it with some water. I locked the door and got undressed. I turned on the shower and felt the warm water running down my body, which immediately relaxed. I washed my body clean from all the incidents last night. I really did need to move out of this flat. I couldn't handle my brother's mood swings any longer. But he would never let me go.

I had to find a way to get out of there. Out of this mess called my life. But it wouldn't be that easy.

I dressed myself and went in the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. I've always hated coffee. It was the bitter taste of it that digusted me. I boiled some water and put the tea bag in a cup.

While I was drinking my tea, I thought about how I could possibly tell my brother to leave me alone.

Wait! How did he get home yesterday? I began to panic. What if he was still laying on that cold hard ground? He's still my brother.

I jumped off the counter and ran into his room and instantly stopped when I saw him laying in his bed. I sighed and went back to the kitchen.

This dickhead surely was too drunk yesterday to even realise that he was knocked down by some guy.

He needs to stop drinking.

It's no good for him. But he would never listen to me.

At this moment he entered the kitchen. He looked horrible. His right eye was swollen and blueish purple. The upper lip was cut open and the blood had dried.

"Goodmorning, Summer." He mumbled and I could tell that he could barely remember last night.

"Goodmorning. Did you sleep well?" He took one cup of coffee and said something I couldn't hear.

He looked so calm when he was sober. His blonde hair fell in his face and his hazel eyes were scanning the room until they finally stopped at my eyes.

"Nate, I want to move out. I need some space from all of this." My hand waved towards us and the flat. His eyes were directly looking at mine. "And how will you pay for a flat? You have no money, and I won't give you a cent." I knew he would say something like this.

"I'll find a job. And I'll take care of myself. Also it is a chance for you to move on and to find a job and friends and maybe even a girlfriend."

His face was without any emotion.

"If that's what you want." He turned around and stomped back into his room.

He was angry but momentarily I couldn't care less. I smiled and immediately called Brooke.

"What happened last night? You disappeared and I was worried as hell! You can't just leave without telling me!"

I laughed at Brookes reaction.

"Calm down, Brooke! Everything is alright. But I have some great news. I'm moving out. Nate gave me his permission."

"Oh my god! Are you serious? Summer That's great! You can live with me for the first couple of months!"

"That would be really nice. I wanna move out as soon as possible but I haven't looked for anything yet so it would be very nice of you."

"I'm coming over in one hour. First I need to get a few things. You can sleep in my guest room. Pack your things, i'll be there soon." She hung up and I smiled.

She was one of the best friends I could have. And her flat was big enough for the both of us.

Her father was founder and leader of a really important organisation called 'Jembling & co'. It Was one of those big cooperations which help people all over africa and europe living really tough lifes.

I packed my clothes and the framed photograph with my parents, Nate and me on it.

Half an hour later I was ready to leave. I went in the kitchen and filled a glass with water.

"This is going to be a new chapter of my life.", I said gladly to myself.
