Oh Brother

Loyalty

I cover my mouth trying to stop myself from making any noise.

What do I do?

If I was to walk out of the closet. Ethan would see me. He'd beat the shit out of me.

If I stayed in the closet. I'd evantually have to get out. Ethan would find out. He'd beat the shit out of me.

I try to sit as quietly as possible.
I look through the crack to still see them making out, when Ethan takes his shirt off.

Oh god.

I lean closer to the door. Suddenly, I lose my balance and fall out of the closet swinging the doors open.

Ethan jumps off the bed as he snaps around in shock.

"Bailey what the fuck are you doing?" He yells.

My heart is racing faster then it ever has in my life.

I open my mouth, but no words come out.

Ethan grabs ahold of my arm ripping me up from the floor.

"Let me explain!" I screach, terrified.

"This better be good." He growls. Keeping a firm grasp around my arm.

I take a deep breath in.

'It's ok. Just tell him that Grayson told you to take up the laundry basket into there room and then you heard someone coming... and decided to hide.

I open my mouth again
"I- Grayson - I was -laundry basket" I spit out, to terrified to even talk. Ethan looked even more mad. He drags me to his door.

"I'll deal with you later." He growls into my ear.

"Uhm hello?" The girl Ethan had been making out with sneers.

She had blonde hair, blue eyes and a caked face of makeup on.
She looks me up and down as she frowns.

"Who the fuck is she?" She snarls.

I had never seen this girl before, (like most of the many girls Ethan hooks up with) but I wasn't suprised in the slightest that it was a different girl to the one the other day. Like I had said new week, new girl. Or in this case new day, new girl.

"No one. She's just my sister." Ethan sighs.
I try to pull away from Ethan but of course, he only tightens his grip making me wince in pain.

"Are you cheating on me?" The bimbo says as tears fill her eyes.

'Get a hold of yourself'

"What? No babe I told you she's just my sister." Ethan says as he opens the door.

"Prove it." She says folding her arms.

"And how do you want him to do that?" I sass back, earning me a hard elbow in the ribs.

She looks at me in disgust and rolls her eyes before turning back to Ethan.

"Slap her. If she's your sister you'd slap her." She smirks while giving me a dirty look.

I tried to have faith in my older brother he wouldn't hit me over some random girl he hooked up with... right?

Ethan looks at me and then back to the girl.

Slap

He slapped me.
He slapped me so hard that I fell to the ground.

My face starts to sting as my eyes water.I place my hand against my cheek. I could almost hear my brothers tormenting me in my head.

"Don't cry."
" I didn't even hit you that hard."
"What a baby."

I look up to Ethan and the girl who seems very happy with herself.

"Oh ok, I believe you now babe." She says with a evil grin.

He grabs ahold of my arm and rips me back up again. He opens the door and throws me out of his room as the door slams in my face.
I sit there for a second letting everything sink in.
My brother just hit me, I could live with that it happens all the time.
Worse.
My brother just hit me over some girl.
And that, hurt more then being slapped itself.
