Chapter 9

I rushed back inside my house praying that Curly was here. Instead I saw my sister setting the table.

She looked up when she heard me,"ma and Jim have gone out somewhere,probably won't be back for a few weeks," she explained in a bored voice.

This wasn't surprising,whenever ma would find someone new she would constantly run off with him and forget all bout her own kids.

"Is curly here?" I asked,trying not to sound too desperate.

"Bathroom,"she answered.

So I all but ran upstairs and walked through the open door.

Curly was sat on the edge of the bathtub holding a bloody tissue up to his nose.

I cursed causing him to look up and scowl when he saw me.

"Shit man,I'm sorry!" I tried to explain sitting next to him,to my disappointment he flinched away.

When he didn't say anything,I carried on,"look you gotta understand this isn't fucking normal," I tried to explain to him gently

He once again said nothing and I handed him a clean tissue.

"I kicked him out the gang," I told him,knowing that would get his attention

At that he instantly turned to me "what?!",he yelled,"why the hell would you do that?!"

I stared at him in disbelief,"why?! I'll tell you why,he's fucking my baby Brother,"

He frowned even harder at me,"fine, then I'll help him find a new better gang and go with him to wherever it is!"

I snorted,"like hell you will!" I shook my head ," you ain't never seeing him again!"

At that he stood up,tears of frustration in his eyes,"don't fucking tell me what to do!"

"Watch your mouth,"I said calmly,unfazed by his yelling.

He shook his head at me and smirked,"fuck,fuck,fuck,fuck," and with that he stormed into his room and slammed the door.
