johnny ~ kid brother

    When I was 14 and my little brother Johnny, was 11. We got kicked out for the first time and our parents fooled us by feeling "bad" for us when they kicked us out. Until they kept doing it and they kept fighting. We got tired so almost every night we'd spend it at the lot and now that we've me t the Curtis' we could sleep at their place too. Not all the time, since we didn't want them to worry so much.

    Now I'm almost 20 and Johnny is 17. I got a good job and got us a small but good apartment here in Tulsa.

    "Johnny, wake up. You have school." I whispered, shaking him. He groaned and gets up, wiping his eyes. "What do you want to eat?" I asked. "Cereal is fine." He said. He takes his shower then walks to the bathroom.

    I work as a bartender, and I only take night shifts. I didn't think I'd be so good at it. Even the gang likes to visit me at work and see me do my tricks.

   I poured cereal to a bowl and added milk and a spoon, for Johnny. I made myself my daily, healthy juice I make very morning and sat down on the couch, watching TV.

   Once Johnny was done ,he got changed and ate his cereal. "Hey Y/n?" He asked. "Yeah?" I said. "When are you gonna come home tonight?" "Probably late, why?"

    "Nothing, I just get a little scared without you at night. Even if I'm with Ponyboy." He said. "Awh, I'm sorry. Maybe I can take the day off." I said. "No don't, it's Saturday Night and you're the best bartender there." He said walking to me with his cereal bowl and sitting next to me.

    There was a short silence, "You know I kinda miss being a kid." He said. "You are a kid." I said. "Haha, I meant like when I was 5 and you were 8. We'd always spray each other with water on the yard. And when it's one of our birthdays we'd fight over the candle." He said. "I won most of those."

    "Yeah right." He said. I nudged him. There was a small silence, "Hey. Wanna ditch school?" I asked. "And do what?" He asked. "What we always do as kids or something." "Alright. Water fight." He said standing up.

    "Oh no, Johnny you just showered. So did I." I said. He takes off his shirt and picks me up outside. He was bigger than me so I could barely do anything.

   "Johnny I swear to God if you don't put me down." I said. He brings me outside and puts me down. As I was about to run inside he sprayed me with water and I was soaking wet. He was laughing.

    "Oh you're gonna get it, kid brother." I said, chasing him down.
