Fragile

"In a club. Happy now?" I rudely said, running upstairs.

He stopped me again by shouting out my name.

"What?" I spat. I was being really rude, I know, but I didn't want to have this talk with my older brother right now.

"I'm your big brother. You're my responsibility too, I just wanted to know where you were, I care about you."

Ha, I don't think so. People have been saying that a lot lately to me, and to me, it's bullshit.

"You don't need to. Now get out, Alex." I grit my teeth together and slammed my bedroom door shut.

I know I was being a bitch, but I had had enough. Enough of everything. Rude people. Dicks. Everyone! Enough of people.

I quickly brushed my teeth and got ready into a simple short black skirt, and a light blue camisole. I slipped my feet into my white converse and grabbed my keys and phone before heading back out again.

I don't know where I was gonna go, but anywhere is better than here. I drove around the town, and decided to go to the park, have a walk there to calm myself down and think through things.

I parked my bike, and took off my helmet. I opened the gate to the park, and a creaky sound came from it. Someone needs to fix it man.

I walked to the swings and placed myself down on the more adult swings, without any safety sides. I swung slowly, back and forth looking around the park. I saw an old man and woman smiling at each other and then the man kissed her cheek. I smiled lightly, they were so cute.

I turned my head around and stopped when I saw a familiar young girl. She was playing on the slides and she was laughing. Her brown hair bobbed up and down. I squinted my eyes to get a better view of her. She looks a bit like Cody's sister. Wait, if she's here, then that means Cody is probably here with her.

My eyes widened when I realised that, and quickly started searching for him to see if he actually was here.

I got my second shock of the day when I heard a voice beside me.

"Sydney." Was all the familiar but sexy voice said.

I shouldn't be surprised that he was here, but for some reason, I was. My mind was weird.

I didn't say anything, and instead turned my view back to his sister. I know the silent treatment wasn't getting me anyway, and that it was childish, but that was all I could do. I didn't exactly have the courage or confidence to confront him.

"Please talk to me Syd." He pleaded, and I looked in his eyes. The blue colour held regret, and remorse and I couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I was being a dick." It was then that I observed him and noticed the bags under his eyes, and his messy hair. He hadn't slept. That was the second time I felt guilt.

"Did you sleep?" I asked instead, but Cody looked slightly happy to see me finally speak to him.

"Uh.. No, not really." He nervously laughed and weaved his hands through his hair.

"You should get some sleep Cody." I softly said, feeling sorry for him now.

"No," He quickly said, "I have to know you've forgiven me."
