The Teenage Struggle

Chapter Three

I went up to Steve's room and knocked effortlessly. "Steve, let me in." I said kindly.

He walked up to the door and opened it with respect. He lied right back down on his bed feeling sorry for some reason. I sat on the side of the bed to comfort him.

"Steve. Can you please tell me what happened yesterday with you and Chris after he broke up with me?" I asked softly.

"I dont want to tell you because if I tell you, you will hate me for all eternity." he said in a dull voice.

I looked at him calmly and told him weakly: "Look Steve, I want you to be open with me and tell me what happened."

"Ok fine." he said fearfully. He began to start crying a lot in front of me.

"Steve, stop crying." I told him strongly.

"I made a deal with Chris...." he said slowly. "Do you see my piggy bank?" he asked desperately.

"Yeah, you had loads of money in there. What happened?" I said cautiously.

"I had roughly $1,392. It's all gone. I've saved that much since the beginning of your relationship with Chris." he explained.

"$1,392? WOW! What happened to them?" I asked frantically.

"I gave them." he said clearly.

"To who?!" I asked.

"To Chris. I gave them to him so that he can break up with you! I didn'l like him at all. I thought I would throw up everytime I saw his face. He doesn't deserve you." he explained slowly.

"YOU WHAT?!" I shouted. "Steve! Even though you're my brother and all, you had no right whatsoever to make him break up with him. The fact that hurts me most for that idiot is that he chose money instead of me. So, in my life, I have two particular boys that are idiots. You've ruined my respect for you and I didn't believe Jen. She was my best friend. Was Jen and Chris really together for two weeks?" I explained.

"Well, no. She was with him for a day. That day ONLY." he told me.

"Sorry Steve, but you will have to excuse me for a while, because I had enough of you and Chris and maybe even Jen. But the WHOLE school saw me yesterday, and that was not cool." I said angrily. "Bye for now Steve."

Carly struggled for hours thinking if what her brother did was for the good or for the bad. Even if it was for the good, he still didn't have the right to ruin her sister's relationship with Chris. Well, let's see what is going to happen. Few hours passed.

I don't know what to do. I should maybe go visit a psychiatrist. I don't know what is going on. Who are my real friends.

" Carl..." Steve said in a feeble voice."I'm very sorry for what I did. I was thinking it over and over and I know it was wrong and I'm really sorry. Do you think you could forgive me?" he asked sadly.

"Steve. You're forgiven. But I really don't want to talk to anyone else right now. I can't even tell if you are my true brother, I can't even trust you." I said undoughtedly.

The clock struck 11pm. It was very dark and everyone was asleep. Except of Carly. Carly was getting ready for a party. As soon as the time became 11:30, she snuck out of the house without a single sound and made her way to a friend of hers and Steve's from childhood.

Finally I'm here. Better get in before anyone else sees me.

"Oh hey Carly. Welcome! How are you? I haven't seen you for so long." said Vanessa happily.

"Hi! Yeah...I'm good." I said.

"Carly, we need to talk" said Chris in a deep voice.

"What is he doing here?" I asked Vanessa hysterically.

"Umm.. aren't you guys together?" she replied.

"No! We broke up yesterday." I explained.

"Listen Carly, I made a huge mistake" he said.

"Oh! Now you realised. Where's the money Steve gave you,huh?" I asked bitterly.

"What money?" he asked foolishly.

"The money Steve gave you yesterday!" I yelled.

"Oh that money! I spent them on these drugs." he explained.

"You what? You spent $1400 on drugs? Are you nuts? I never wanna see you again you dumbass. I had enough of you. After all we've been through... you took drugs this whole time, you got money from my lil bro and you ruined my friendship with Jen and you wanna come back to me? Well, bad news for you. WE WON'T! That's the end of it." I shrieked.

Everyone was staring at me again like I was tempted by the devil again. Not only that. Steve and Jen were there looking straight at me.

"What are you doing here, Steve?" I asked astonishedly.
