Saving Brian

All of a sudden I jump up and sit up straight in bed. I'm so sweaty and I feel shaky. I can remember me dream vaguely, it involved my parents who only existed out of bones and Angela killing me.

I get up and put on a robe and open the door and go downstairs as quietly as I can. I was through the hall with my feet on the cold tiles. I walk further to the kitchen with a plan to make some hot milk with honey. That's what my mom used to do, well at least when there was milk in the house.

I enter the kitchen and I almost scream and I fall on the floor and my butt really hurts. Auw. I see Brian's eyes looking at me and I can see he almost bursts out laughing. This is the first time I can really see how he looks like, His eyes are really big and green. His hair is light brown and his body is very muscular, I wonder how he works out in his room without tools. He has an expression on his face that says, I'm better than u, but he still looks like someone who had a good heart. I sit on the floor for 3 seconds and than I get up fast and say, "what are you doing here?"

He answered fast and in a voice that really annoyed me, "aren't I the one who lives here? I'm not asking for annoying snooping girls to fall on the floor in MY kitchen"

-"sorry you just startled me, I just came for some milk I wasn't expecting you to stand there so suddenly I'm sorry"

He says fast and with arisen eyebrows," your sorry? Well why don't you just disappear and go back to your room with your silly stupid blue hello kitty shirt?"

I decide I really dislike Brian and I want to say something back but I don't know what so I just leave and when I'm walking up the stairs I hear Brian laughing a little and I am embarrassed and annoyed.

I go back to bed.

I try to fall asleep but I keep thinking about how I embarrassed myself! But.. What do I care? He is a cold annoying baby and I should just ignore him.

But I don't want him to think I'm a child, I get up out of bed and put on a dark green pjama, without hello kitty thankfully.

I close my eyes and try to sleep.

I wake up and I for one second forget about my awkward moment with Brian but then sadly, I remember.

I put clothes and walk down the stairs, through the hall to the kitchen.

"darling! How are you? You look extremely tired?" Angela said with to much excitement.

-" I'm ok don't worry, breakfast?"

She nods and I start to make some breakfast, some toast and vegetables.

I suddenly hear someone coming in and yelling, "hi Angela I'm home from work! Is Janet up yet? I think we should take Brian out for a walk I mean he's been inside for 9 months since we last took a walk with him" and Angela's husband entered the kitchen an when he saw me he swallowed hard and said, "uhum..I..good morning"

I pretend to not have heard him and I say, " Oh jack I dident hear you coming, how are u?"

He sighs in relief and says he's good and he will want some breakfast as well. I make an extra portion and put the plates in from of them. I go outside to walk with Lacey. I walk along the path and walk fast for about 10 minutes. I just need to get my head clear. I keep thinking about Brian, I mean, he is so mean! What does he have against me? He did look cute in his pj's. What??? Ok I can not go there, I shake my head and I keep walking, I walk for an hour and I finally reach some stores. I enter a little paper store and decide to buy a bus card to go back, I'm tired.

I go to the salesman and ask for one.

"Sure,what's the address and how much money should be on the card "

-"20 dollars, and the address is 21 parchment street"

He looks at me with a weird face and almost whispers, " 21 parchment street? You live there? I though Angela and jack were alone, I mean after the accident and the investigation they shut out all of their friends, they don't ever leave the house, are you a family friend?"

-"I..I--I'm the housekeeper"

"Well here's your buscard"

"Can u tell me about that accident and the investigation?"

-"don't you read the papers? I don't want to talk about it"

He just turned around and left.

With a real dislike to go back to 21 parchment I take the bus back and walk on the path back with Lacey.

I open the front door and I find a note stuck on the kitchen door,

"Janet, me and jack went for a walk, we will be back for dinner, you can vacuum clean a little and if you finish your free, make dinner!

- Angela"

Well at Least Brian got his walk after 9months, I assume Brian went with then, they would not leave me here alone with him, I could find him.

I go in and eat a granola bar.

I walk upstairs to the cleaning closet and grab the vacuum cleaner and start on the top floor. I clean for about 3 hours when I'm finally finished.

I walk downstairs and when I'm in floor 3, I see Brian's door. I hesitate to open it. I suddenly open it and step inside, I see a room as big as mine, closets and closet of book, posters of bands, a huge bed, and HAH! A home trainer and some other working out things, I knew it! That's how he got his hot body. I slap myself in the face for calling him hot, he's cold and mean! Let's not go there Janet.

I hear a door downstairs and I close the door and run downstairs and continue the dinner I started earlier.

I hear someone walking up the stairs and than Angela and Jack coming in the kitchen.

They greet and and eat their dinner.

I ate already, I go upstairs and enter my room, I decide to google this address and do some research.

My mouth falls open when I find this article:

20 September 2003 (ten years ago)

The son of jack and Angela was killed in a tragic accident, his name was Jamie and he was only 9 years old when it happened, he was the only casualty in this accident.

Oh my god. I'm so sorry they lost a son, But if they lost a son, who the hell is Brian? Maybe they were twins, the ages match. But Brian's name was not named in the article. What does this mean??

I google the address again and I add investigation.

I can't find any information.

I close my computer and I start to cry.

I don't even know why I'm crying, I'm just scared and confused. For starters my family could starve any day now.. And this house! Who Is Brian? And why is he so hot? (OMG I did not just say that) and why is he a secret? Why is Jamie dead? We're Jamie and Brian brothers? Did Brian replace Jamie?

I shower and get ready for bed, still feeling upset.

I lay in bed and put my earphones in.

I play slow sad songs and finally fall asleep.
