KATHERINE'S POV
My eyes snapped up to meet my brother's own. He's defending me?
"Alex! This is not how I raised you!" My mother screeched.
"No! And it's probably for the better!" He yelled back at her. With wide eyes, I watched the two go back and forth arguing. My brother has never gone against my mother. To see him do it now was unorthodox.
"I thank the Moon Goddess that I turned out nothing like Brittany! I am so happy that I didn't turn out to be a spineless, moronic, half witted, self centered, lying little bitch that follows mommy's every single command." He fumed.
My eyes widened as he practically insulted Brittany's entire existence and made it worthless in just one breath. I felt tears start to get her in my eyes. I never thought that I'd see the day where anyone, my brother no less, would call out on my mother's bad parenting and my sister's bull crap.
"And dad! Don't you dare try to defend my mother because you know that I am right as hell. We are to blame just as much as them, our silence worse than their actions. We could have stopped their abuse. We could have saved a little girl's childhood and youth. But we didn't. And now..." he looked at me right in the eye, " we must live with the consequences. We have done some messed up shit, how can we even call ourselves people?"
I felt my throat tighten as my eyes welled up with tears. "I am so sorry, Katherine. I should have never let them do what they did to you. I should have defended you and prevented the theft of your childhood." My brother suddenly got down to his knees, my eyes widening as my mothers and sister's face showed horror. "Please forgive me. I know that I don't deserve it, but please. Let me be a brother," a lone tear trailed down his cheeks.
I didn't know how to respond.
