The depressed little twin brother

Chapter Seventeen

I walked into Max's house because Marcus invited me over

I walked in the kitchen and saw Max, Norah, and Abby

Hey you three. I said

How'd you get in? Max asked

Marcus left the door unlocked, he invited me over to get drunk and high, it's your brother. I said

I swear I don't know what his problem is, why is he hanging out with you? Max asked

I don't even know how he got my number. I said

Then I walked over and put my hands on Abby's legs

Hey. I said

Hi. She said and kissed me

Gross. Max said

I was thinking about coming over tonight for date night, I was thinking about a movie and snacks. I said

Uh, yeah, I'll see you tonight. She said

Alright. I said

Since you two are clearly gonna be dating forever we need to get over it. Max said

Really? I asked

Yeah. Norah said

Thanks guys. Abby said

I got to go. I said

Tell Silver I said hi. Wait don't. Max said

Okay. I said

Skip

I am grabbing snacks for Abby's house and I have my computer that I'm taking with me

Then I got on my motorcycle and started driving

Then I got to her house and the door was unlocked

I went inside and upstairs to Abby's room and opened the door

Hey, Abby the door was unlocked. I said and I saw her and Press in bed naked

Phoenix. Abby said

I dropped my bag on the floor

Are you serious? I asked

I'm sorry It just happened. She said

Then I ran out of the room and out of the house

I went over to my bike and put my helmet on and I quickly drove off

Tears went down my face and I drove faster and then I was thrown off my bike and my head hit a pole and I landed on my arm

I held my arm

I started laughing

I took my helmet off and I spit blood out then passed out

Skip

I woke up in my bedroom and I saw my mom

What is wrong with you, how did you crash? Mom asked

I couldn't see. I said

Were you drunk? She asked

No, I was sober, I went to see Abby and she cheated on me so I left and I guess I got so mad I crashed on purpose. I said

Over a girl. How can you be so stupid? Mom asked

She's not just any girl mom, I love her and she just broke my heart. I said

And you broke your arm and you have a cut on your head. Mom said

I'll be fine. I said

Skip

I am sitting in my room on the floor looking at the pictures I painted for Abby

Then I looked at a bottle of whiskey

I got up and grabbed the bottle and the pictures

I also grabbed a lighter

Skip

I am sitting in front of the fire place watching as the fire was burning the pictures I am sitting close so I can feel the heat on my skin

Birdie! Mom shouted but I didn't say anything

Mom he's in here. Austin said

Phoenix, baby, what are you doing back up from the fire. Mom said and pulled me back

Relax, I already thought about killing myself with the fire but then I realized that would hurt like a bitch. I said with a laugh

Don't talk like that, okay, why are you acting like this,I know it's not because of Abby. Mom said and I stood up

Life, mom, that's why I'm acting like this, you baby Ginny because she's burning herself, but look around you mom! I'm slowly dying and you and dad do nothing to physically help me, he's barely here, and you are always with Paul or Ginny, what about me! I yelled

I'm trying, you're not exactly making it easy to help you, you tried to kill me, your sister, and you punched your girlfriend, you can't blame me for everything, Phoenix, dating a crazy person was hard enough, do you think I wanted to raise one? Mom asked

I am the only thing stopping everyone from putting you in a mental hospital or prison. Mom said

I looked away from her

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe

Then I looked back up at her and before I could run at her I passed out from something hitting my head

Skip

I am walking into school

Dad got my bike fixed for me because I promised not to do that again

And I have a cast on now

I was about to walk past Abby and her friends

Damn, Phoenix, what happened? Max asked

I looked at them

Motorcycle accident, I'm fine. I said

Then I noticed Abby not even looking at me

So, how was date night last night? Norah asked

We, uh, didn't do it. Abby said

We broke up, you can ask Abby all the details since it's her fault. I said and walked away

Skip

I woke up and I saw mom

What are you doing? I asked

The doctor told me to keep an eye on you to make sure you don't lose any memory. She said

I'm currently fine, can you leave me alone? I asked

Okay. She said and left the room

Skip

I am watching the Wellington play at school

I am standing in the back away from everyone and I looked down at where Abby was sitting and saw her and Press holding hands

I scoffed and started walking out
