Hey readers, wonderers, & interneters,
I'm sorry for not uploading sooner, but I've been busy and I get hurt. :'( I ended up tripping when I went to catch up with them in the gym hallway. My boots are big and it came off a little bit, so I went to the ground with a LOUD THUD!!! I started laughing and saying 'that was fun' and stuff. My friends were asking if I was okay but they ended up starting to laugh too. Our teacher called us weird but it was really funny. Anyways, I'm gonna shut up now, so you can read 'My Older Brother's Best Friend... Wait What Older Brother?! -Chapter 12'. Hope you enjoy!

My Older Brother's Best Friend... Wait What Older Brother?! -Chapter 12
Recap of Last Chapter:
-Alex's Point of View
He punches me in the stomach causing me to fall to the floor, then he kicks me. I struggle to breathe as he pulls me up off the floor by the collar of my shirt. He slams me into the wall again and pulls back his arm to punch me, when someone knocks on the door.

-Scarlet's Point of View
I wait for someone to answer the door. I think of a way for Alex's plan to still happen. I'm deep in thought, when the front door is pulled open by a middle aged man who seems to be drunk. "Who the hell are you? And what do you want?" He demands.
"I-Is Alex here?" I ask.
"It's okay dad. She's a friend from school." Alex reassures him as he comes up from behind his dad. His dad mumbles something as he walks down the hallway, but I'm unable to understand him. Alex grabs me by my upper arm and pulls me into the house. He drags me into the house and up the stairs. Finally he lets go of my arm, after he pulled me into what I believe is his room. He closes his door and locks it then walks over to his bed and flops down on it. As his body hits the mattress, he groans in what I think is pain. He holds his stomach, then sits up to face me.
"What are you doing here, Scarlet?" He asks looking up at me then quickly looking away.
I can feel my heart begin to hurt as he looks down at the ground and not at me. "Are we still going to do that plan that you came up with?" I ask sitting down at the edge of his bed.
"We can't do it. Your brother will kill me for even talking to you right now." He states laying back down on his bed, slowly.
"How bad are you hurt?" I ask as I get a glimpse at under his shirt. I can see a blueish-purplish bruise already starting to appear. He looks up at me confused, but then pulls his shirt down, so I can't see anything, and looks away from me.
"I'm fine." He sighs heavily. "You shouldn't have come to my house. Your going to get hurt if you stay."
"What does that mean?" I ask completely confused.
"It means, you need to get out of here now!" He says raising his voice, scaring me. I jump a little, which he seemed to notice because he was sitting up and looking at me now. I start getting up off his bed and making my way to the door, but he grabs my arm (gently this time) stopping me from doing so. "Wait, Scarlet, I didn't mean it like that." He states.
I try to get free from his grasp, but don't succeed. I can feel the tears in my eyes wanting to come out, but I fight them back. "Let go of me so I can leave, since you don't want me here." I say looking away from him so he can't see the tears that are wanting to escape. I try once more to get free, but again I have no luck.
