Oh Brother

Broken

The next morning I had woke up feeling okay, which Is not how I had planned I would feel. However that feeling ended when I nearly collapsed whilst getting out of bed.

I walk down to the boys room and peeked through the door that was open a crack.
Ethan was still asleep, not a surprise. I check my phone. 8:49 am. Ethan lay on his stomach taking up the whole bed. His snores can be heard from where I'm standing.

"Can I help you?" A voice sneers.

My heart jumps.
I spin around and look up to see Grayson.

I don't say anything as I head for the stairs. Grayson follows, he must be trying to annoy me. It wasn't working, yet.

"Bailey Bailey Bailey Bailey" He says getting louder each time he repeats my name.

"What?" I say annoyed.

"I didn't say anything." He says, I can imagine him grinning at himself.

I roll my eyes,

"Oh, Bailey!"

"Yes?"

"Don't trip on that chord."

I look down at the ground in front of me as I stop for a second. There was no chord.

"What chord-."

He shoves me, as I slam into the ground.

He steps over me and walks to the kitchen.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to shove you that hard. It won't happen again I promise." He scoffs sarcastically.

I realise what I had landed on top of as I push myself off the ground slowly, scared to face the reality.

My phone lays on the ground, I flip it over and the whole screen is shattered.

Anger fills my veins as I clutch my phone, shards of glass pressing into my skin.

"You fucking asshole!" I yell.

He stops what he's doing and looks at me confused, like he doesn't understand why I'm suddenly so mad about him pushing me.

"You broke my phone screen!" I say, holding up my phone for further proof.

His face changes, now he gets it.

I look down at my shattered screen. It's shattered but is it broken? I press the home button, it takes 10 seconds before it turns on. Not completely broken, it's a start right?

I jump off the floor and dart towards him.

"What the fuck?"
Grayson looks from me to the top of the stairs as I spin around too.

Ethan walks down the stairs looking mad. The yelling from my behalf must have woken him up as he looks half asleep.

"Oh look she's awake!" Grayson calls to him.

He walks over and puts his hand on his hips, waiting for someone to explain.

"Grayson smashed my phone screen. I think it's broken." I blurt.

"Nice one ass clown." Ethan shoots at Grayson with a scoff. "Lemme see." He says to me, placing his hand out and motioning me to put the phone in his hand.

I hesitantly hand it over as he frowns at me. As he looks at it I notice how bad the damage is. He tries to turn it on and it has the same response as before.

And then he shows his true colours, he lifts up his arm and uses all his force to throw it into the ground. The phone hits the tiles as it breaks.

I slap my hand onto my mouth followed by my other hand.
