The little sister - Eddie Vedder

I don't know why I even agreed to stay at Stone's place while my parents and I were in Seattle to visit him, I could've also stayed at the hotel my parents are staying at. But no, my parents thought it was good for me and Stone so we could 'catch up'. They have always been oblivious to the fact that Stone and I can't go together in one room. Everything he does or says annoys me, same counts for him: everything I do or say annoys him, even more so actually.

But that's how it usually goes with brothers and sisters, right?

I've been here for a couple of days now and there's still two and a half weeks to go. End me please.

Tonight Stone is having this party at his place, which means I've got to put up with his friends as well.

As I walk into the kitchen to prepare lunch, Stone walks up to me. "The party is tonight, you know that right?" he asks and I hum in confirmation.

"I expect you to be upstairs all night. I don't want you to ruin things." he says, coldly.

I scoff and turn to face him, honestly not expecting him to be serious. I know he doesn't like being around me, but actually abandoning me upstairs during his party goes a little far, doesn't it?

There's no point in arguing with him, so I turn back to what I was doing without saying anything and soon enough I hear Stone leaving the kitchen.

The hours go by and while Stone has been busy preparing stuff for the party, I have been listening to some music and doing some writing. It's my passion to become a writer of some sort.

"It's time for you to go up, (Y/N)." Stone says after the doorbell rang.

"I am already on my way, Stone." I say, emphasising his name, since he always does that to me as well. It's so annoying, but then again, what's not annoying about Stone being my older brother?

About two or three hours go by and I really feel the need for some booze. I've been up in Stone's spare room all night and I need to leave this place, even if it's just for a minute.

I head down to get a beer, unfortunately not going unnoticed by Stone, who gives me a look that could kill someone. "What are you doing here?" he asks as I receive some looks from the people who are currently in his house.

I open the fridge and take out a beer, "That's quite obvious, isn't it?" I say, holding up the beer to show him better.

Stone rolls his eyes, "You're not even allowed to drink, so put that back and go upstairs again."

Stone telling me down or insulting me never hurt me, but the fact that he doesn't even know how old I am, actually hurts a bit. I'm not one to admit the fact that it hurts me sometimes, the way Stone and I act towards each other. I would love to get along with him and have a 'perfect family', but we're both too damn stubborn to admit things like that and change.

"Actually Stone, I turned 21 two weeks ago, thanks for letting me know how much your family means to you. So, since I'm allowed to drink, I'm gonna take these with me. And no, I'm not gonna go upstairs right now, 'cause I'm sick of you telling me what to do. I'm old enough to do what I want."

As Stone's expression turns from cold and confident into speechless, I feel a hint of victory and make my way outside into the backyard of his house.

Taking small sips from the beer, it is only now that I realise there were people watching the scene inside. I feel a bit embarrassed, but I'm still proud of telling him down. I don't care about the consequences, I am just sick of being treated by Stone the way I was treated.

I can only enjoy the fresh air alone for so long. A guy comes walking up to me. He seems familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. His long, brown, wavy hair whirling in the wind.
