Bad Love

Chapter 1

I wake up to the sound of a voice. A loud voice . It was probably my brother getting into another meaningless fight with his buddies. It didn't mean much until I heard something slam . I quickly walk downstairs . What now ?

But instead I find him on the phone screaming . All for what ? I swear my brother had major anger issues . It scares me sometimes .

"Zane?" having to almost shout so he could hear me . He glances over with a fake smile .

"DJ, go back to bed please"

"What's wrong?" He was my brother I wasn't just going to go back to bed like it didn't matter .

"Don't call again , stay out of our lives ." he shouts to the phone . My face was full of confusion . He hangs up the phone . The room was full of silence . He takes a swig of his beer.

"Who was that Zane?" I ask nervously . He ignores the question and walks past me . I follow him. I needed answers I was just woken up for what ? Nonsense probably .

He heads outside and pulls out a cigarette. It was pouring outside . He obviously didn't care .

"ZANE" I shout getting annoyed . He looks at me . Anger filled his eyes . But I knew deep down he was hurt . This was serious .

"Don't ask DJ"

"Who was that?"

He ignores the question again . I watch as he puffs in the cig. I take it from him before he could take another . I take a puff .

"Zane quit bullshitting me"

"Dad called" his voice cracks. My dad had called . Our dad . He hasn't even tried talking to us since we were 7. And now he calls ? Bull.

"What'd he say" I tried staying calm . The thought of my dad just made me feel all emotional again .

"He wants to see us , to see how we are" he says taking the cig from my hand. My hands ball up into fists . Where was he when we needed him ? Those nights we would cry to him to stay . He left . Coward . After our mom died over overdosing on heroine . He couldn't take it . So he left .

"Well he's never going to get to see how we are . I don't want him in our lives Zane" I try holding in my tears . But they fall . I didn't matter anyways the rain washed them away .

"You wouldn't have had a choice anyways DJ . To me he's just a fucked up person who runs away from his problems" Yeah he was . He was a fucked up person .

"I'm going back to bed Zane . You should try
getting some sleep too ." He looks at me and smiles . My brother always tried to stay happy for me. He was like a dad to me . He's the only one who didn't leave . And I'd never leave him .

"Everything will be okay DJ" I smile at him and head back inside. I wish I could believe that . I really wish I could . But the grief of my mom and my dad being gone and ruining my life , just kept me from happiness. But I have to act like everything is okay . My brother needed me . So I've got to stay strong...
