I sat on the ground; my legs sprawled out over the vast pink carpet that filled my bedroom. My hands were in fists as I listened to the heavy metal music flowing out of my brothers ' room. The sound seemed to enter my ears and never leave, penetrating my ear drums over and over again until I couldn 't take it anymore and was driven insane. My left hand reached for a pillow that had fallen from my bed onto the floor during the night. It was a stretch, but I managed to pull the pink Hello Kitty pillow towards me using only my finger tips and an arched back. It was Friday morning, I saw looking at my calendar that sat in the corner of my room. To be exact it was Friday the thirteenth. Having always been rather superstitious seeing that …show more content…
"What do you want?" I asked, my eyes glancing over his body. He seemed taller than he had before, maybe that was due to the fact that he hibernated in his room for almost his entire life and I rarely had the privilege of seeing him. He had recently dyed his hair a raven black that seemed more like a dark blue than anything. "The parents want you," he said with an air of hostility to his voice. He barely even made eye contact as he spoke. My brother and I had never had much of a relationship. Ever since I could remember he seemed to have a grudge against me, as if somehow my existence sickened him. Maybe it was due to the fact that we were so different - he had tattoos that littered almost every inch of exposed skin and piercing that covered the rest, where as I had a light pink bedroom and stuffed animals covering my floor space. Not exactly the makings of best-buds. "Must be important, they made you come out of hiding." I said a smug smile on my face as I took a step closer to him. He didn 't look at me; he just stared out my window as if it was somehow more interesting than the words coming from my mouth. He bit his lip, his hands cupping around his forehead as if just seeing me gave him a headache, "yeah, I guess..." he paused, then looked right at me, eyes interlocking. "Ask them." He rolled his eyes, "you know, there are about a million other colors you
“I brought your bag for you, sir,” I said timidly still unsettled by his gaze. He suddenly broke into a wide smile showing off his shiny white teeth,
For my brother Will and I, we were not friends during the first fifteen years of our lives.
"Looking at you? Really, I look at you?" He asked confused in a good way.
“I hate to change the subject so suddenly, but there’s a tall, good looking guy pacing up and down right under our window, and Musa?” Stella said, giving her friend a cheeky smile, pointing a slender finger to the ground. “I think he wants to see you.”
"No kidding." I muttered under my breath, and I don't thin either of them noticed what I replied. "What's your point?" I questioned, crossing my legs.
After we graduated school we went to the same university and we were roommates. We even fell in love with the same girl, which was so strange, but she eventually chose him, not me. He still got me confused with my brother almost every day.
He jumped when he heard the thud of you landing in his room, sending a quick glance before chuckling, “You could’ve just used the door you know.” When you didn’t respond, he knew something was wrong and gave you a proper look, his face dropping when he saw your expression. “Y/N? What’s wrong?”
“What,” I sighed looking back at him. Turning to him I see him start to wiggle his eyebrows at me.
“ Really?” I questioned. I had to get close to him so I could hear him.
“I’m sorry, do I know you?Have we met before?” he said looking at me very confused.
“What was that?” he asked, a sly smile coming across his face. You sighed, standing up from your seat on the ground.
"I stood there, with cautious eyes, testing to see what he knew and what he didn't. I stayed quiet. We stared at each other for a good minute before I slowly looked away.
“Well Red came home and i would’ve been beaten bloody if he caught us.” I replied and he nodded. “Why are you so curious?” I continued curiously.
Walking in quietly I saw him trying to pick outfits. With his dirty blond hair and his beautiful blue eyes I could stair at him all day. "What can I do for you my sir?" I said realizing that I had been staring.
“Why are you in here?” he asked. I could see trying to work out when he had last seen me, out of the closet of course.
