Make Me Stop

Chapter One: Remember 8 Years Ago

Lola's POV

Being a nine year old is tough enough, but when people voiced their opinions like they are the only thing that could keep them alive, everything became a little too overwhelming. Sitting and day dreaming whilst your friends play outside is not normal for a child. But do you know what else is not normal... my family.

I live with my mum Sara, my dad Paul and I definitely can not forget Jake my older brother and Kyle my younger brother. We used to be family-orientated, but I guess it is not like that now since my aunte Sue died. Aunte Sue used to live with us, unfortunately she passed away 8 years ago due to kidney failure. My dad said she swelled up like a balloon and we let her float away peacefully and painlessly. I am now seventeen but this occured when I was aged nine. I can remember that it affected my dad the most, to be honest I didn't know why as it was my mums sister and she did not react half as bad as my dad did.

The death of my aunte also affected my older brother Jake a lot. At this period of time Kyle wasn't born so It was just Jake and I. I don't believe we were that close when we were younger as he was eight years older than me so therefore when my aunte passed he was seventeen. However, now at the age of 25 it appears to me that his role as a brother is no longer "brotherly", but much more "fatherly". I could honestly say he is much more protective than our dad and that must be saying something. We very rarely speak, but when we do it always seems that he is worried about me falling in love and being independent. I don't understand why, im almost eighteen and my mum keeps nagging about how I am too mature for my age and I need to get out more. Yeah, I know right you would expect your best friend to say that to you ,but nope that's my mum.

When I do go out I always get a lecture before I leave the home from Jake not my mum but Jake and he sets me a cerfuw which I obviously do not abide by. Therefore, allowing me to enjoy yet another lecture from a distressed brother when I return home. Short dresses are a no go, and if i wear make up Jake's reaction is like i have commited a crime. Sheesh...can't a women feel confident in her own skin? And all my friends wonder why I am insecure and self-concious. Blame it on the bro! I am soo not looking forward to the time my boyfriend meets my family for the first time. Thats when I  do actually have a boyfriend, at the minute I am single and sooo not ready to mingle whilst my brother is around. As long as he is around I am never even going to have a chance in a successful relationship...
