Slipping Away

Oh, Brother

He couldn't stop staring. 

His eyes trained on the enemy, he eyes filled with nothing but pain and anger. They flashed with licks of fire. That fire making a promise to burn anyone who dared to cross him. 

He sat there going over his plan in his head. There was no way he would lose, no one would take this victory from him. He could feel satisfaction clawing at his very being.

Finally he was able to move after being paralyzed with hatred. Hatred of his enemy's mocking voice. He heard the mocking when he woke up, when he was at work, and right before his eyes closed for the night.

 He would do anything to destroy his brother. He saw his brother race towards victory. That is when he knew it was time to end his brother. He hit the button that would stop his brother in his track.

As soon as he hit the button, he saw his brother's eyes fill with fear. 

"How could you to your own brother", Trent yelled. He laughed as the flames in his eyes burned his brother and burned his brother in betrayal. He had never felt so much joy at someone's demise as he did in that moment. 

He continued to laugh as his brother cried out in pain. He had finally achieved his goal of beating his brother. He could finally prove to his parents that he was the best of the two of them. Speaking of his parents, his happiness increased as his mother look at them with shock. His dad always agreed with him on the matter and also decided to join in on the laughter. 

He had finally done as he looked at his brother, who was equally dramatic as himself, lay on the floor in agony. 

"I can not believe, you actually did it", his father spoke. He felt accomplished as his dad spoke and and his mother looked at him with pride and even a hint of amusement in her eyes. They had all agreed that his brother needed to be taken down. He was the winner on too many occasions. But that had all changed.

After months of hard work, he had done what no other would dare to do.

He smiled as his Mario character drove around in victory. He had finally beat his brother in Mario Cart. His entire family had tried to beat his brother but it took them months. His brother continued to gloat every day and his ego was so big he couldn't breathe when he was in the room. So he came up with the perfect plan. He would drift behind his brother the entire race and wait to use his blue shell until he was in the last lap. It took him forever to get to second place but once he was there his plan was in full affect.

"What would like for dinner, my little champion", his mother asked as she walked into the kitchen. Tyler just laughed as his brother groaned as he stood up. 

He looked at me in the eyes unflinching, " I will take my title back". He declared as he flopped back onto the couch beside me. 

"I would like steak", Tyler declared smugly. His brother glared at him with the heat of a thousand suns. "You know I'm a vegetarian".

He simply shrugged as he walked out the room to hear his brother whining and dad's laughter booming throughout the room.

He walked up the stairs to his room feeling completely satisfied. He opened the door and his glanced out the window his eyes trained on his neighbor who was sitting on his couch.

 He felt his face heat. He always felt like such a creep when ever he peered over into his neighbor's living room. But he could not help it, his neighbor was stunning. He was the reason he had lost 60 bucks when he was offering to mow yards. When his neighbor had opened the door, he couldn't help but to offer for free. 

He had been using every opportunity to talk and hangout with the man ever sense. 

A knock on the door tore his eyes from his neighbor. He called out to whoever and waited for the door to open. 

His brother peaked his head around the door, "Tomorrow, I'm to going to pick up Stacy, you wanna come?"

"I'm busy tomorrow. I have to write my ess-" 

"I getting Elijah to drive us", he through out at the last second. 

I immediately agreed,  I couldn't nod my head fast enough. My brother was trying to plan matchmaker again, usually I would stop his antics but I truly wanted a shot with Elijah.
