I woke up in the middle of the night I guess my dad went back to his room because he wasn't in my room.
I went downstairs to get a glass of water but when I turned on the light I had the fright of my life Braydon was sat at the kitchen table.

"Braydon what are you doing here!" I whisper shouted

"Have you made up your mind yet" he said that so calmly

"I was going to speak to my dad last night but I-" he cut me off

"You didn't answer my question"

"No I haven't I want to speak to my dad first"

"Why is it so hard for you to make your mind up in your brother do you want to live with me or not"

"It's a big decision Bray it's not that easy"

Just then Zak came into the kitchen he looked up and then took two steps backwards

"REE WHO THE HELL IS THIS"

great. Just great.

"Well now you can make up your mind can't you Reanaa your dads here now"

"REE WHAT IS GOING ON"

"dad this is Braydon...my my my-"
Braydon cut me off again.

"Her brother"

"Your brother Ree you don't have a brother trust me I would know"

I couldn't say anything God knows I tried but nothing came out I just froze.
"Relax I'm not your kid Ree is my half sister you know we have the same mom different dads and well I guess Ree got the short stick with having a dad like you"

"What do you mean a dad like me you don't even know me"

"And neither did Ree for most of her life"

"That has nothing to do with you"

"It has everything to do with me I'm her brother"

"But your mom said nothing about anther kid when I met her"

"That's because my dad wanted me when I was a child I lived with him idiot"

I could see this big argument spiralling out of control soon enough so I decided to get involved

"Bray it's not like that honest that's it what happened just leave it ok"

"Fine Ree you gunna tell your dad or shall I?"
"I I I....dad..."
"Guess I will tell then Ree wants to live with me so I'll pick her up tomorrow 3pm sound good to you?"

"No that doesn't sound good to me Ree you can't be serious you really want to live with him?"

"Well I better be off see you tomorrow Ree"

Braydon left and it was just me and my dad, dad gestured for me to sit down so I did and he sat across from me so we could talk properly.

"Ree sweetie do you honestly want to live with him"

"Look dad I was gunna tell you well ask you last night and the day you left but I couldn't Everytime I would I just froze"

"Well if your asking then no I don't want you to live with him not when you have all this treatment to do"

"Your using my illness as an excuse"

"No I'm not Ree I'm just saying I'd rather you stay here with me just till you get better then if you still want to you can go stay with your brother"

"No dad Braydon can look after me I will be fine in going to go live with him and if you don't like it that's your problem, I'm going to bed night"

I went back upstairs completely forgot about wanting a drink and fell asleep almost immediately.

I woke up the next morning to the smell of bacon.
I ran downstairs into the kitchen my dad was making bacon butties.

"Plates are on the side Ree"

"If your trying to change my mind it's not working"

"Is it a crime to make my daughter breakfast now"

"No dad it's not"

"Then just sit and enjoy"

After eating I went upstairs showered and got dressed.

I'd finished packing what I wanted to take with me at around 2ish so I sat down to watch some TV with my dad.

"I'm gunna miss you Ree"

"Dad I promise I'll come visit every week"

"That's if I let you in"
We both started laughing in hysterics.

"Yeaa sure dad haha"

"Make sure you ring me if you ever need anything and I mean anything I'll be right there I promise sweetie"

"Ok dad"

"I just want what's best for you"

"I know you do dad but I want to spent a little time with my brother before well you know"

"HEY! don't you speak like that!"

"No dad I mean before I'm all commuted to treatment and stuff"

"Well make it through this I promise you"

"Thanks dad"
I gave him a hug.

"Want me to make you some sandwiches before you go"

"Yeaa please"

Dad got up to go make me some food and I just carried on watching TV about 15 minutes later the doorbell rang.
