My Brother The dentist 2

Chapter 12- well...

I laid down in bed staring at the ceiling.

Why does my brother treat me like this. Sure my mom is bad being an alcoholic. But Alex gets on my nerves I swear.

I really hope dr. Woods left because he just making me angrier.

I slowly open my door and look down the hallway the coast is clear and I slowly crept downstairs. There stood my brother cooking dinner but Dr. woods wasn't here thank god he left

Alex turned around to face me and glanced at me. "Hi"

"Hi where is Dr.Woods" I ask

"Oh you mean Mike he had to go to the office for an emergency appointment" Alex explained

"Oh okay" I say

"Why you asking?" He asks

"I was just wondering" I say sitting down at the table.

"I made chicken stir fry if you want any" Alex said grabbing himself a plate of it and sitting at the table.

I got up and got a small plate of the chicken stir fry and sat back down.

"This is really good thanks Alex" I say

"Your welcome, can I talk to you for a few" Alex asked

"Why's that" I ask

"Because I wanna know the true reasoning behind the whole braces thing" Alex asked picking at his food

I looked up at Alex who was now staring at me.

"They hurt, I can't eat what I want and they are annoying" I complain

"That is the truth but they are something to get used to I still want you to get them for me" Alex explained

"But I don't want them yet" I snap

Alex's eyes widened "please don't give me that attitude"

"I change my attitude when you decide not to force me to get braces" I say as I got up and out of the chair then ran upstairs and slammed my door.

"Jaxon Lee!" I heard my brother yell after me.

I fell on my bed and cried tears of anger. 20 min later there was a small knock on my door.

"Who is it" I sniffled

"It's me" Alex said

"Leave me alone" I say

But Alex didn't listen to me and came in my room anyways and sat on the edge of my bed.

"I said leave me alone" I mumble as my face was buried in my pillow.

"I've decided I will let you choose when you want them" Alex says softly

I put my head up and sat up and looked at Alex his face was plastered with guilt and sadness.
He gets so upset so easily I don't know where he gets it from.

"Alex I wanna apologize" I whisper

"No bud it's me that needs to apologize" Alex said in a comforting way.

"It's been so hard without our mom even though she's an alcoholic" I say as tears start welling up in my eyes again.

Alex rubbed my back. "One of these days we will go visit her she lives a hour away"

"Really?! Even though she's an alcoholic and inflicted pain into us?" I start explaining

"I've heard she been going to get help she recently told me" Alex says continuing to rub my back

"Really? She's doing it for our sake?" I ask

"Yea she feels bad for doing alcohol and not paying much attention to us" Alex says

"We need to go visit her and see how she is doing" I say

"We can go this weekend and surprise her" Alex says making me smile a bit and wiping my last tear away

"That will make my day" I say and pull Alex in for a big hug.
