Kendalls POV
"Fuck Kendall, im sorry-you think hes gonna be pissed?"
"Its okay" i laugh a bit, looking over my threatening text messeges worriedly "um..he'll be fine" i say as we pull up to my house
Our date literally went by so fast. 3 1/2 hours with Ray literally felt like 20 minutes, i cant believe we just lost track of time like that
My house door was already opened by the time we pulled into the driveway
"Dont leave the car, just drive off okay?" I say to him, unbuckling my seatbelt
"Nah i think i should say something to him"
"No, please just..just go okay?" I say
Angry Chris, is not an understanding Chris
"Kenda-"
"GET OUT OF THE CAR!" We both look to Chris storming outside the house with a bat and my aunt chasing behind him.
"What the fuck?" Ray says quietly
"Go" I say, getting out, closing the door behind me "Chris im fine, see!" I say to him as Ray pulls out the driveway swiftly, driving off as Chris tries chasing behind his car with the bat, trying to hit it
"Stop!" I yell as Ray easily outdistances him
"Who the fuck do you think you are, staying out till a quarter to 12!" He yells at me, coming back up to me
"W-we lost track of time Chris, it was an accident" i say as he grabs my arm pulling me back into the house behind me as i get dragged reluctantly
"Christian Gabriel Johnson dont you grab your sister like that!" My aunt yells behind him as he lets me go
"I thought.." he gets in my face, as i turn away from him "we had an understanding kendall" he says "11:30!" He exclaims, causing me to jump a bit "i had simple rules..no FUCK that, i had ONE rule" he tells me "get home..by 11:30"
"Chris okay.." i say to him "you're acting insane, im sorry okay?"
"You're sorry? I was here worried sick, calling you texting you-nothing, i get nothing. Not even a bullshit 'hey' just so i know you're fucking ALIVE" he says
"Im sorry!" I say "we just lost track of time okay? W-we were talking and-"
"Yeah whatever kendall, you want me to trust you, yet you go and disrespect me and my rules." He says "i try to give you a little space, a little freedom and what do i get? Taken advantage of"
"Chris, if you'd just let me explain-"
"I dont want to hear it, You're grounded"
"What?! Grounded? Christian, For being 10 minutes late?!"
"For a month" he adds
"you're dragging this" i say looking to him seriously
"Do you want to make it 2?" He asks as i stare at him before scoffing
"I hate you" i say simply
"Good, hate you too, now go to your room" he tells me as i glance to my aunt whos just shaking her head, and i push passed him, going towards the stairs, going up them
"Ugh! I cant wait to move out of this damn house!"
Chris' POV
she goes up the stairs and slams her room door behind her as i breathe out shakily, unclenching my fists and sit on the bench against the wall
I put my head in my hands as i rub my hands over my face and through my hair roughly
I hate this parenting shit man..I just want to be her brother again..
"You cannot talk to your sister like that" my aunt looks at me and says "you're pushing her away" she says as tears fill my eyes
"She just..she makes me so angry" i admit "she knows.. she knows how much i care about her-and despite everything that happened she doesnt give a fuck. She doesnt fucking show any type of mindfulness towards me and how i feel" i say "shes just so selfish"
"Sweetie" my aunt comes over to me, crouching down next to me "shes 17, welcome to parenthood" she says "shes growing up and she has to figure things out for herself..you cant keep sheltering her otherwise when she can finally leave without your permission, she'll never come back."
I look to her as she smiles softly, rubbing my shoulder
"When you two first got here..you said you were gonna do this. Not because you had to, but because you felt like you're parents would have wanted it to be this way, and because you were all she had and she was all you had..im not gonna tell you how to parent her because you've done a decent job yourself thus far..but..i will tell you this. The stronger you hold on, the more she'll want to go" she tells me before kissing me on the forehead and going back to her room.

Kendalls POV
A knock came to my door as i lay in bed staring at the ceiling.
"What?" I say as Chris peeks his head in my room as i look to him. I look back to the ceiling as he comes in "what do you want?"
He just sighs as he walks over to me, grabbing my desk chair from out under my desk and pulling it towards my bed and sitting in it easily
"Are you okay?" He asks lowly
"Im fine" i say easily as he takes a pause
"Look, im sorry Ken, alright?" He says "i just..worry-a lot. I worry if you are safe, i worry if you're happy, i worry if you are in a car with a responsible driver, i worry when you go out with a teenage boy that he may feel like he can overpower you-"
"I get it..Chris" i cut him off "you worry"
"Yeah.." he says "and im sorry..i just..i wanna do this thing right and..i want you to be safe.. and i'm sorry okay-i was a little-" i look at him "okay, kinda harsh on you and your guy friend tonight and i maybe-" i stare at him still "okay I definitely need to relax more" he says as "and..i was just gonna say that..you're not grounded for 2 moths-"
"Really?" I sit up, excitedly
"Yeah-"
"Oh thank you thank you!" I start
"You're only grounded for the next two weeks" he says as my face drops
"Oh.." i say
"Couldn't let you off that easy " he chuckles as i smile a bit
"Fine, i guess thats fair" i say "and apology accepted" i say as he smiles at me
"Thank you" he gets up, coming over to hug me as i hug him back
"I dont really hate you"
"I know..me neither"
