AFTER SCHOOL
"I'm home" I sung as I opened the door, my brother jogged down the stairs and greeted me
"hey, baby sis" he smiled
"Hey big bro! Where is everybody?"
"If you mean mom and dad, they're out"
"Oh, ok" I smiled, they were most probably getting drunk or something, yes, I know what drunk means, it kinda comes along with the whole, 'bad parenting' thing.
"I have to tell you something" he spoke
"Sure, what is it?"
"I'm moving in with Justin and Max" he said, looking down to his shoes
"What do you mean?"
"Well, we're growing up and we kind of want a house. Since we're best friends and everything we decided to live together and make our own, you know, like a man crib" he said, I resisted the urge to laugh at his use of 'man crib' but stopped when the whole sentence finally sunk in
"Oh, I'm so happy for you" I frowned, glaring holes into the ground
"Hey, what's wrong?" he asks, his voice laced with sincerity and worry
"I'll miss you. You're the only one that's always there for me in this house" I mumbled
"I know, that's why-"
His sentence was cut short when the door abruptly opened and slammed shut revealing Mike, or 'dad'
"I thought you guys were out" Jake says
"Yeah, I forgot some stuff" he grumbles
"What was it?" Jake asks
"None of your damn business" Mike snaps
"Sorry" Jake says backing up, his hands raised in defense
"Fuck off, I don't want to deal with any of you little bitches right now"
As if on instinct, both Jake and I look towards the ground avoiding eye contact
"Oh! Here it is" he exclaims before running out, crazy bastard.
"So what were you gonna tell me?" I asked as soon as the coast was clear
"I was gonna tell you. I know how much you hate being with them by yourself, so I've been talking to some people" he begins
"And...?"
"I don't want anyone to hurt you anymore, so I found these people that want to adopt you"
"What!?!"
"Adri, I know it's kind of weird, and you don't really know them yet, but I promise this will be good for you"
"But, what if they hurt me too?" I whisper, tears slightly welling up in my eyes, I stare intensely at the ground as if it were it's fault
"Don't worry, they won't hurt you, they're good people" he assures
"How do you know?" my voice cracks
"Because I've met them"
"You sure I should do this?"
"Yes"
"Okay then, I'll do it. But do mom and dad know about this?"
"No, they don't even know that I'm moving"
"They will eventually find out, dont you think?"
"How?"
"With all our clothes being taken out of the house"
"And that's why were leaving now" he smirked
"What?"
"Yeah, I knew you would say yes,and besides, it will be way easier since they aren't here"
"But what about packing?"
"I've already done that, and the people said they can buy you a whole new wardrobe" he replied
"Wow, nice people"
"Yep, but pack the most important things to you, okay?"
"Alright, BRB" I yelled running up the stairs
"Did you seriously just yell out BRB" he asks from downstairs
"Maybe" I chuckled
I gathered 2 shoes, 3 shirts and 3 skinny's, a picture of Jake, Bree and Kelly at the movies, a charm bracelette with a heart that my nonna had given me before she passed away and 5 beanies
"Done" I grinned victoriously, slinging the backpack over my back
"What did you pack, Godzilla?" he asks, his eyes widening in shock
"Very funny," I rolled my eyes
"Well, we've gotta go! You'll miss the plane!"
"Ok, wait. PLANE?"
