Chasing Storm

20. My brother

Jason Sayers/Ace brother in mm^

~ Ace ~ (flashback)

SLAP!

I quickly look away as mommy slaps jason across his face.

"WHERE DID YOU PUT IT YOU LITTLE SHIT!" She yelled while punching and slapping him.

Mommy was always angry with us, even when we didn't do anything. She would always hit jason whenever she was mad and jason didn't like it. He would cry and yell but he would never hit her back.

Jason was my older brother, he was 9 and I was 6. We had different dads but mommy says that still makes us brothers. But unfortunately jason didn't like the idea of calling me his brother.

He's always hated me. He says that I'm the reason his dad left and that mommy is a druggie and that's why she acts the way she act.

He constantly push me around and calls me names and it really hurts my feeling because I just want to play with him.

I turn my head when I hear a loud bang, seeing mommy on the floor, holding her head.

I run over to her and hugged her tight, "don't hurt my mommy." I yelled at jason.

He stood there seething, blood running from his nose and there was a cut on his lip.

"You fucking fucker." Mommy yelled. "I know you didn't just put your hands on me!"

She tries to get up but jason pushed her again, making me lose my grip and knocking me to the side.

I quickly crawled back over to her, wrapping my arms around her neck.

"I HATE YOU!!" He yelled at mommy, " I never want to see you guys again! I hope you all die!"

He turned around and ran out the door, leaving it wide open.

"Are you ok mommy." I asked, grabbing her cheek.

"Get the fuck off me." She yelled then pushed me off as she struggled to get up.

I watch her walk in the kitchen and pull out a spoon then dig into her pocket and pull out a bag with something in it then put some on the spoon.

Looks like she's taking her medicine again.

I get up from my spot and go into my room, closing the door then getting into my bed with Mr. teddy and my favorite blanket.

I picked up my favorite book the very hungry caterpillar and started reading, trying to block out the noise of mommy and daddy yelling downstairs.

When I finished reading I placed the book on the table and laid down, pulling my Mr. teddy close.

"Goodnight Mr. Teddy." I whispered then closed my eyes and cover my ears, trying to block out the sound of mommy and daddy making noise.

The car comes to a screeching halt, making me fly forward then pulled back into my seat.

"What the fuck do you mean he's your brother!" He yelled.

"He's my half brother that ran away when he was 9 because our family was shit and he hated us all. I didn't think I'd ever see him again...to be honest, I thought he was dead." I said.

"You never tried looking for him?"

I sighed and looked over at him, "I did for a while when I was around 12-15 years old but I couldn't find anything so I said fuck it."
