Repairing A Broken Siblinghood

Chapter 11-"An Eventful Morning"

We woke up the next morning kinda drowsy, but I guess that's what happens when you stay up until 5am. I turn to Jake and try to get him awake but the boy was completely passed out. I check his bruises and they seem to be healing fine. I checked the time and it was only 8:30am and we didn't need to leave for breakfast until 10am. I set an alarm on his phone for him so he would wake up on time and with that i headed downstairs to chill and watch tv.

The goal was to be alone because I figured everyone else would be asleep. Of course with my luck that wasn't what happened.

All my brothers and their punk girlfriends were downstairs making breakfast like they owned the place. Which they don't, just by the way.

Well this should be fun.

I walked in and tried my best to ignore them but of course they noticed me immediately.

"Good morning Cars"

Maybe if I close my eyes they can't see me.

"You know just because you close your eyes it doesn't mean we can't see you"

"Just wishful thinking"

Of course Alec knew what I was doing. Guess I should address them.

"Morning"

"Do you want anything for breakfast?"

"Nah Ryder I'm good, I'm going out to breakfast with the guys at 10."

"And who gave you permission to do that?"

"Well, Kelsy, seeing as this isn't any of your business I'm not fully inclined to answer you, but seeing as I'm feeling nice today I will. I didn't get permission because I don't need it. I'm just getting breakfast, not like anything illegal is going on."

"I don't think it's a good idea to let her go, not after the way she's been treating y'all lately."

"Oh Allison why must you piss me off so early in the morning?"

"Don't talk to her like that Carsinnia."

"Don't call me Carsinnia, Ryder."

"And why not? It's your name."

"Not anymore."

"And why not, pray tell?"

"Jesus because it isn't-look I'm not getting into this with you okay?!? Just don't call me that."

"Okay okay listen we just want to talk about last night, we don't want this to escalate into another fight"

Of course Seb is trying to be the voice of reason right now.

Guess the least I can do is try to resolve this.

"Ok fine, I have like an hour until Jake and I have to leave"

"Alec, Simon to the other room please, Seb and I want to talk to her in private."

With that Alec and Simon left, however Kelsy and Allison remained. I was definitely not ok with that.

I turned to Ryder and asked them why they stayed in the room, seeing as he would be the most level headed about it.

"Because this conversation involves them as well."

"No, I really don't think it does."

"Well deal with it because we're not leaving," Kelsy said.

"Yeah," Allison chimed in like the follower that she is.

Oh my goodness. They seriously grate on my last nerve.

"Look I'm not having this conversation in front of them."

"And why not?," Seb asked.

"Because I don't feel comfortable around them. They unnerve me and set my teeth on edge."

Seb and Ryder exchanged looks as if they were engaging in a silent conversation, meanwhile the girls looked insulted with (obviously) overdramatic expressions.

"Fine," Seb sighs, "Kelsy, Allison if you'll excuse us for a moment please?"

"What? You're seriously kicking us out!" Kelsy shrieked in her shrill voice.

Oh boy, Barbie looks like she's about to pop a fuse and Allison is giving Ryder a look with big ol' crocodile tears.

"Yes, Kelsy, we're kicking you out, if that's the only way she'll have this conversation then so be it."

Yeah Seb stick it to the man.

"I can't believe you're choosing her over me"

Yeah sucks doesn't it.

"Excuse me!! What did you just say to me?"

Oh shoot said that out loud, well no going back now.

"You heard me."

"And what exactly is that supposed to mean?"

"It means that they've always chosen y'all-people of no significance in their life mind you-over me their actual blood related sister. The fact that they've taken so long to do so is honestly astounding but that's something to touch on for another day."

And the next thing I knew my cheek was hurting.

Did this bitch just slap me?

Before I could do anything arms went around me to hold me back and I heard Jake whispering in my ear how is isn't worth it to start a fight with her.

Seb and Ryder looked stunned, Kelsy and Allison looked smug.

Seb went over to Kelsy and asked her if she was ok.

He then turned to me.

"What you said was out of line."

Wait what?

"I'm out of line! She just slapped me and you're ok with that?"

"Of course I'm not okay with that. But you have to admit what you said wasn't all right."

"To hell with that I can't believe you're choosing her again."

"I'm not choosing her over you."

"Oh yeah? Prove it."

"You want me to prove it."

"Yeah I do."

"Fine."

"Kelsy we're done."

Oh snap.

"Excuse me?!?"

"You honestly don't think I'll stay with someone who hits my little sister do you?"

"Allison we're done too."

"What!"

Before this could escalate any further, Jake (my savior) intervenes.

"Well this is awkward so, um, we're gonna go to breakfast and leave y'all to it."

Seb gives him a nod as he's simultaneously trying to keep Kelsy from clawing his eyes out. I take that as a sign to get the hell out of here.

As we were walking to Papa G's for breakfast, Jake was asking me about what happened while he was asleep.

"Dude, what happened? I woke up to screaming, and then the next thing I knew you were getting slapped, are you alright?"

"I'll explain everything at breakfast, but let's just say it's been an eventful morning.
