I "Hate" You

2

Amethyst's POV

As I walked downstairs, I heard Felix and Ryder, Felix's brother, shout at each other.

"Stop saying that, Ryder! You don't know what she's been through!" Felix shouted.

"Then tell me! Mum and dad knows! Even you! Why can't I, the oldest, know why she's been here since she was 15!" Ryder shouted as I sat on the third to last step on the stairs.

"It took me ages to know why she's been here instead of her house! You wouldn't want to know if you heard her story!" Felix defended.

"That's for me to decide! If I regret it, I regret it! But so far, I'm not regretting my decision!" Ryder shouted.

"Even so, she should tell you herself! Why get it from me behind her back?!" He shouted at his brother.

"Because she won't listen to me! She's dumb! You've been spending time with her more than me! You're own brother! She interrupted our brotherhood in just a second!" He shouted. "I hate her!"

Tears pricked my eyes.

"You can't hate her! She's the most beautiful girl ever! So what if I've been spending time with her more than you! We've got a whole life ahead of us, haven't we?!" Felix shouted.

"Well then, get her back to her house!" That's when I heard a punch.

I stood up and walked back upstairs. I saw their mother and father standing on the stairs with sympathy in their eyes.

I smiled sadly at them as I nodded my head, picking up Slate out of his father's arms and went into my room. I locked it as I made way to the bed.

I laid down under the covers as Slate wrapped his arms around me. I wrapped my arms around him. As I stroked his hair for him to go to sleep, his eyes started closing. By the time a tear had been let out, he was asleep.

I stopped and listened to the silent sound around my room. Then I started crying. I cried into my brother's shirt as he slept. My hold on him tightened but not to tight so I wouldn't strangle him.

I cried for my families death. I cried that my brother won't have parents he would look up to. I cried for being such a burden to the Carter family. They've been such a good friend for such a long time. Staying in this house, for almost 2 years, I feel like such a burden.

Their family has broke down because of us. And yet, they still kept us here. Well, except from one.
