Love The Way You Lie

chapter 2

Next morning I woke up early, unrolled my bedsheet and sat on the edge of the bed.

The thought of event's that occurred in past 48 hours made me grin, firstly I became the lead singer of the college rock band, the sweetness of Michael who was the male lead, a grin grew wider cause I had my first crush.

The smile led to reddened cheeks, I blushed.

I got up from my bed and moved towards the mirror.

I combed, untangled my frizzy hair and made a ponytail.

As I woke early, I thought of helping my mom.

My mom was an accountant at the bank of America, being a single parent was a very difficult job cause, my father left my mom for another woman named Rose.

I went downstairs to help her but instead, I found a note on the dining table which said,

"Sweetheart, I am going to meet my sister as she is hospitalized, take good care of the house, I will return soon".

This message led to chills in my body and gloomy vibes surrounded me.

I sat at the table and hoped that she get's well soon, my eyes were filled with tears and I was about to cry, suddenly I heard a clatter of vessels from the kitchen.

I rushed to the kitchen and made a loud screech as I saw my younger brother jack holding a knife in his hand, trying to stab himself in the stomach.

I smacked his hand, the knife flew and crashed the floor.

"Are you out of your fucking mind?"

His face looked like he was in deep agony, he placed his hand over my shoulder and gave me a hug.

I was stunned, never have I ever seen the emotional side of my brother.

"I am doomed piggy ", he said with a loud cry.

"Can you illustrate what's wrong?"

"My girlfriend cheated on me and we had a fight. I smacked the taste right out of her mouth and she called the cops".

"what happened next?",I questioned.

" They tortured me to confess that I was guilty of my actions otherwise they would tell this situation to mom".

I quietly nodded and kept my hand on his shoulder.

"I confessed for my actions and went straight out of the police station".

"When did all this chaos happen?",I questioned.

"Yesterday evening, now I am accused of being a floater".

"What does a floater mean?".

" It means a person who floats around people because of personal insecurity, that's the reason she left me".

I felt so bad for my brother that I hugged him tight and stroked his head.

I served my brother breakfast, grabbed my toothbrush and went straight to the bathroom.

Today was the grand rehearsal for our band, so I had to hurry to college because the show was a few hours away.

I wore a plain white t-shirt topped with a leather jacket, ripped black jeans and high boots.

I went to the mirror and tied braid, I was stunned to see myself look so dapper.

I winked at the mirror and went downstairs, where my silly brother was still in a bad mood.

"Don't cry like a little brat, you are a grown-up asshole", I said to him.

" You look great piggy", he exclaimed.
