Erin
"Oh I am so excited. My son and my daughter in law are home where they both belong." Mom yelled excitedly.
After having a mini reunion down at the air port, we decided to continue this mini reunion back at home including uncle who was shock as I am at the news we just received.
And it has been a while since I had actually a decent conversation with my little brother. So the news of him and Hazel had definitely caught me off guard. After being in a coma for four months, Collin was closed off. He became angry and temperamental for what ever reason that I remember mom flying down there just so he could get help.
Which he did and Hazel was there to comfort him. Ever since then he only spoke a few words and it was mostly about Hazel and what she thinks is best for the both of them well mainly him.
At first I had no quarrels with Hazel. Hell I hardly knew the girl and everything when she was living here, she was quiet and shy. But now, Collin spoke highly of her.
"Mrs. Burnell, we had a long flight and I think Collin should rest." Hazel firmly spoke, her tone of voice stood strong.
"Of course, and please call me mom." Dad just nodded his head as I watch Hazel leading Collin up stairs.
"And shouldn't you be going too?" Dad spoke coldly to uncle.
Without saying anything I watch uncle's retreating back, leave while my thoughts were of my dear little brother.
I did spoke to him a few times when he was in America but they where mostly short talks. Nothing to special. It wasn't anything big. In fact he didn't even mention to me he had married Hazel.
I mean what about Kara. Granted I haven't seen her in years but Collin was head over heels over her.
Turning towards my mom, "Why the hell didn't you tell me Collin married that girl?"
"We thought you knew dear." Mom answered.
"We, does that included you Jamie?" Jamie nodded his head.
So everyone in this house hold knew except me and of course uncle. Why didn't I know?
"So why didn't I know?" I was fuming.
"Sweet heart Collin told us." Dad clarified.
Collin had told them, the family he once despise but didn't even tell me. He didn't tell me anything.
"What is wrong Erin? Hazel is a nice girl..."
"Nice?" I interrupted mom. "Did you see her just now, she is dictating Collin's life. Before I had no opinion about her but now I want him divorce from that bitch."
A loud smack sounded as my face had whipped to the side. My eyes widen in shock when it came across my dad. He hit me! I could hear mom gasped. "You will show some respect for your sister-in law."
"My sister-in law? You care more about another girl than your own daughter." If I didn't hate my family, well I do know. "Collin is right, for one thing this family is toxic." I remember he said that once when he was in grade school.
Just as my dad was about to take another swing at me Jamie had stopped him, "Dad. She is your daughter and as much as you love Hazel, Collin is our brother and I will too not have someone run his life."
Never in my wildest dream would I ever imagine Jamie siding and protecting Collin against our father.
"You too Jamie. You dare go against me. I am your father."
"So." Jamie stood toe to toe with him neither one backing down.
Dad being the proud man that he is would never admit defeat instead he turned on his heels and walked away followed by mom who didn't even defend me, defend us.
Cold hands I had felt against my cheek, "You okay, sis?"
"Yeah thanks." Heading up stairs I knocked on Collin's door. I don't care if they are asleep he will have to talk to me.
Seeing he didn't tell me much over the phone. I admit I was a bit worried seeing he never asked about uncle or spoke of Kara. I just thought he was depress being away from her but seeing him after years had changed my thinking. Something had happened. Something had changed and I intend to find out.
Opening the door revealed Hazel in her lingerie, "Erin." She yawned, "Do you need anything?"
"Actually yes, I need to speak to my brother."
Hazel just looked at me like I'm crazy, "He's sleeping right now." She spoke in a hush tone.
Before she was about to slam the door in my face I stuck my feet in pushing the door wide open only to see Collin laying on bed only in his boxers, with one hand behind his head watching tv, "Asleep my ass." I scoffed before pushing my way in.
"Hey." Collin sat up at the sound of Hazel's annoying voice. I don't know why I only noticed it but her voice is truly irritating.
"We need to talk." I demanded leaving no rooms for arguments.
Collin arched his brow, "Okay?" He looked at me then Hazel.
"Alone." I glared back at Hazel.
"No way am I leaving. What ever you say to Collin you can say to me. After all I am his wife." She gritted the word wife.
I don't care if she is his wife, I will drag out her hair if I have too. When I made no attempt to move Collin gazed back at Hazel, "Hazel give us a minute."
"Fine." Her lips curled before taking to me and for a moment I thought I had seen nervousness in her eyes but then was replace by fury, "Do not talk about unnecessary things." She barked quietly in my ears before making her exit.
"So what do you need to talk about?" He asked in a bored tone.
"What the hell do you mean?" I yelled, my voice now trembling. I wanted to cry because I have my brother back well not fully but still. I had miss the old him, what the hell happened to him in all of three years that he has all of a sudden become a jerk and a coward.
"Erin." His voice was harsh.
"Oh don't Erin me. I am your older sister." I marched right up to him and smack him on his arm, "Why the hell did you tell everyone but me that you are married?"
"Is this what it is all about? Don't tell me you have a problem with Hazel?"
"Really Collin, really. A problem. Since you have gotten here I have notice her taking you around, telling you what to do and following her like some lost puppy."
Standing up on his two feet, Collin stood over me glaring, "How is that your problem? You weren't there, Hazel was. She was there helping me cope..." His voice trailed off. Cope?
"And what about uncle. Why did you treat him like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like he didn't matter to you?"
Collin flipped off the tv, "That man. Wasn't it because of him I was in a coma?"
"Collin, it wasn't his fault it..."
"Oh, but he was there and he didn't even call me not once."
"Look, there is an explain...."
"No, Erin. I'm tired. Tired of this, tired of everything." He cut me off.
"Do you love her?" I had to know. I wanted to know what happened with my baby brother.
"Hazel. Of course I love her. She was there for me when no one else was. We confided in each other. What else is there?"
"What about Kara?" It is the first time I had spoke her name since he had waken up from a coma and the first time we are going to speak about her.
Collin though only looked at me with conflict in his eyes, "Who the hell is Kara?"
