The Augury

Part 21

[Alex ]

I stood by the bathroom mirror looking at myself, my left breast had a yin yang tattoo, I thought my eyes are deceiving me, it was puzzled as fuck on how? When did this shit happen, no doubt it's cool how big and beautiful it is but damn my sister will have my head for supper today again I place my hand on my mouth and ask my self, how on earth did this happen?

When I looked closely it looked as if the ink is still moving inside my skin and creating more designs, I poped my eyes wide open and I held my skin but it was burning like fire, 

" fuck !! " I screamed 
It was moving to my shoulder making my entire left shoulder burn up like hell 

" hay are you ok in there ? " it was Austin what is he still doing in my room?

" I'm fine, " I said, pulling my hoody down, and stepping out of the bathroom he raised his eyebrow looking at my chest fuck not him too,
him: " your sister is calling us " 
me: " my sister? " I said with a raised eyebrow looking up at him, he just shook his head and opened my bedroom door for me to walk out while he followed me behind. 

Walking downstairs with Austin behind me felt like a dream, I hate that I'm not tall as him, urg it's not like we share the same DNA but it would have been nice if I had his built. I hate that He does not talk that much but says a mouth full with his eyes and body gesture I'm still nervous as fuck on creating a relationship with him, I mean when my parents adopted me he was long gone and  I grew up as the only boy in this house,  how on earth does my parent expect for us to create a brotherly bond his like two decades older them me, When I say we are different I mean it, we’re kind of solar opposites, I wonder if we actually grew up in the same house together how will our relationship unfolded.

" hay are you ok ? " that was Nadia looking at me with a worried look 
me: " I'm good Nadia is that for me?"
I said trying to void a chain of questions that I could not answer myself, she smiled nodding She had a cup of milo and Oreo on the table Jesus, my sister always treats me like a baby but who can say no to
the delicacy of  sweety treat, I rub my hands together making my way next to her I kissed her cheek
" Thanks, big sis you the best "
She giggled while Austin looked at us.

I looked up and saw Gail walking around with a phone in her ear she was busy shouting to whomever that was on the receiving end.
Austin: and then?"
Nadia: planning the funeral "
She said softly,  my mom is not even cold at the mutuary but Gail is already planning her funeral, thinking about mom makes my eyes itch I looked down, God knows that all I want to do is grieve and cry my eyeballs out but as a boy in this family is expected to be strong don't break, that what my late father taught me,

" Whatever you do never look weak in front of your sisters you are a man if you feel like crying take a walk and cry out there "

" ok kids I have cooked please promise me you will eat, "my Aunt said coming out of the kitchen
Nadia: thanks Auntie"
Her: I need to go check on the venue and speak to the Reverend It's going to be short notice but what can we say, it's what my sister wanted her funeral to be "
Nadia sigh looking down,

My Aunt rub my shoulder I looked up she smiled looking at me 
Aunt: " how are you feeling my son? " 
me: " hanging there " 
Aunt: " I can’t understand or imagine what you’re feeling right now, don’t forget we love you and we’d always be here for you, I pray that God will comfort you himself, watch and guide over you as you’ve never experienced  " 
me: " thank you, Aunty " 

I said standing up, she kissed both of my cheeks and hugged me, I noticed that she did not once acknowledge Austine, she just avoided eye contact with him, I looked at Austine and he had a blank expression. Does this guy ever show any emotions? 
" ok kids im out, if you need anything I'm just a phone call away," my Aunt said walking out.
