Brothers conflict- Not what they expected

Rough times

The next two months felt very lonely, during that time I cut my hair short and fell into a deep depression. Dad was away quite often, doing jobs here there and everywhere, he was trying to fill the emptiness that had been created since mum left, no-one's heard from her since her departure and it's really taken a toll on dad and I. I've had a lot of time to be by myself and think about anything you could imagine, I've had to become very independent since dad's not home often. I'm very lonely and probably at the lowest point that I'll ever be in my life, dad and I talk sometimes, he says he's found a chic he likes and has asked me if I'm ok with that, I told him that I'm happy for him and that he deserves to be loved and cared for. 

I haven't been motivated to do much anymore, my friends have noticed the dark rings under my eyes, the way I don't laugh as much as I used to or my lack of outgoing behaviour, I've told them I'm not doing too well but that was it, that's all they know. They don't know I'm doing really badly at all, they don't know the heaviness I feel when I wake up or the nagging in my head to die. A tune starts playing bringing me out of my pity party 'perfect' by Harry Styles, pressing the answer button I put the phone up to my ear "hey dad"

"Hey Alex, I've got great news!"

"What? Are we getting a puppy?!"

"No but I am getting married to the woman I've been seeing, you know her right?"

"Yeah I do, all you do is go on and on about her like a lovesick puppy"

"Well you're going to move into her house and live with her sons, it's already been arranged and everything, I'll text you the details"

"Dad! *beep* oi dad! Dad!"

He hung up on me, goddammit, *buzz* new message

Hey Alex, 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~  

End message

Pfft, can't believe he did that, oh well I guess it'd be nice to get out of the house for a while, but my friends, oh shit! My friends!! Quickly texting my friends that I'm going to be moving they're all sad and are kinda mad, but I explain everything and tell them I'll still see them tomorrow.
