The depressed little twin brother

Chapter Nine

Dad made dinner and I am at the counter smoking

Put it out Nix. And go get ready for the Bakers. He said

I got up and went upstairs

I got dressed and went downstairs and outside and across the street with the family

I sat outside until my dad came out and told me it was time to eat so I threw my blunt down

I went inside and sat down in between dad and mom

I just ate and ignored them

Will Paul live to mayor another day? Max asked mom

Come on Max, you have to ask if he's going to live another day first. I said and mom kicked me

Then after a few minutes I got up

Where you going? Mom asked

To see my girlfriend, because this dinner is stupid. I said

Tell Abby I said hi. Max said

I nodded and left

I went to my bike and got on and I drove to Abby's house

Skip

Me and Abby are on her bed making out

Then she pulled away

You okay? I asked

Yeah, can we not have sex tonight? She asked

What's wrong? I asked

Nothing. She said

I know when something is wrong. I said

I feel like you're using me just for sex. She said

That's what you think of me, that I'm what, just some druggie who likes to drink and have sex all the time? I asked

You were doing it when we broke up the first time, and you're high right now. She said

You are unbelievable. I said and I got up and grabbed my jacket

It's the truth, you slept with half the girls at school and whenever you see me you want sex, you pulled me into the damn janitors closet at school just so you could have sex. She said and got up

And like the slut you are you did it every time. I said

Breathe in breathe out

What did you just say? She asked

Don't do it

You are a slut, I bet if Press was here you'd probably blow him or anything he asked for. I said

Then she slapped me

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe

Before I could think I then saw Abby hit the ground

I hit her

Abby, I'm sorry I didn't mean to. I said and she looked at me and I saw her nose bleeding

I'm so sorry. I said and I tried to put my hand on her face but she moved back

Get out. She said quietly

I grabbed my keys and I left her room

Skip

I walked into the house and I saw mom at the table

What's wrong? She asked

I did something bad momma. I said

Like what? She asked

I hurt her. I said

What? She asked

I don't know what happened, I just snapped and I hit Abby. I said

You just had another episode. She said

All the other ones I didn't hurt anyone. I said

They're getting worse. She said

She's gonna hate me. I said

It's okay. She said

No, it's not, I actually liked her and now she probably hates me. I said

Come here. She said and I walked over and she hugged me

Skip

I'm in my room sitting on my bed

Then the door opened and I saw Dad

Let me guess, you're leaving. I said

Sorry, nix. He said

Don't be, I knew you were going to leave soon. I said

Don't be like that, Nix. He said

Just leave, you're amazing at it. I said

He closed the door
