ce their daughter didn’t come home yesterday.
She is just trying to release her anger and worry on me. It is better to get out of here before she becomes even worse. So I finished my work as quick as I could, and went to my room, my only safe place in this hell hole.
I chat with Jake and wait till like 12 am. Shane hasn’t come home yet. I went down and saw my parents were still waiting in the living room.
“Why don’t you go out and search for him?” Mom was demanding.
“Where should I search? We asked all of his friends, even they don’t know where he is. He must be really busy with some work. That’s why he couldn’t call us.” Dad replied.
“Please God, protect my kid… No one cares about my boy…” Mom started crying and blaming dad.
“He is not a kid anymore. He is 20 now.” Dad said, angrily.
Shane does all the wicked things, but he never makes my parents worry. If he wants to get drunk or do any kind of a bad thing, he usually stays in a friend’s house informing my parents that he is going to study there or some other lie. So, my parents have no idea about Shane’s real character. From their point of view, Shane getting late without informing is a thing they should worry about.
I didn’t feel like going to my room. No matter how much they hate me, they are my family. I couldn’t just leave them to worry alone.
I sat on the staircase, and sent messages to both Jake and Luke, asking if they happen to know where Shane is.
But they didn’t have any idea.
Dad was calling everyone trying to find some information. Mom was just crying and complaining.
It was around 1am now, and I was also getting to worry about Shane.
He was sad, and in pain for some reas on. Did he go somewhere because he was sad? No… Shane is not that stupid. He always takes care of him.
*******
It was 2 am now… I was really worried. Did something really happen to him? No…Please, God! Protect him… He is cruel and knows nothing but giving pain to others. But he is still my twin brother. My heart aches for him. Please protect him… Mom was a complete crying mess, and dad was extremely nervous.
Suddenly, we heard a car entered our driveway. Dad literally ran to the door, with mom following him.
I also stood up. I was pretty sure that is Shane’s car. I am so familiar with its sound.
“Shane!!!”I heard dad screamed.
Shane entered the house. He was super drunk. He couldn’t even stand up straight.
“Honey!” Mom holds him from his hand and wept.
“Don’t worry, mom. I am good.” Shane said, trying to walk toward the staircase.
He stopped as he saw me and stared at me like he just saw me for the first time in his life.
His eyes stretched to a thin line, indicating unbearable pain…
“Shane!! Why the hell you drank this much, and why you didn’t inform us you are getting late?” dad yelled at him.
“You know how much you make us worried?” he screamed again.
But Shane didn’t answer… He just stared at me.
“Shane!! What the hell? I am talking to you.” Dad shook him from his hand.
“Dad!!! Fu** off.” Shane screamed at dad.
All of us got shocked as Shane never speaks to my parents like this.
In no time dad’s palm hit Shane’s cheek, making his skin dark red.
“How dare you to talk to me like that? Came home all drunk and yelling at me…” Dad tried to hit him again.
But mom stopped him by holding his hand and screaming…
“Dad…I am sorry… Please… I want to be alone…” he replied, and started walking towards me, having his eyes still focussed on my face.
No need to say how much afraid I was… Is he going to hit me again… I don’t even have anyone to protect me now…
But he just walked passed me towards his room.
Mom just dropped to a chair weeping.
“What has happened to my kid…”
“I told you once… He is not a kid anymore… Stop crying will you?” Dad screamed.
“Sarah!” he then yelled at me.
“Go and see what is he up to…” he ordered.
Without saying anything, I went up. I walked towards his room. His door was closed. I lingered near his room for some time, trying to listen to what is going on…
But I couldn’t hear anything… Maybe he fell into sleep… But he just entered the room, how can he sleep this fast?
I stayed for a few more minutes, but no sounds at all.
“He has closed the door, and I think he falls asleep…” I informed dad.
After a few more minutes, we all returned to our own rooms.
But I couldn’t really get my mind off of Shane…
He is in real pain… But I couldn’t understand the reason behind that… I wish I am close to my brother. so he can just open up to me and maybe I can help him to get over whatever pestering him. However, we are not close to each other at all, and there was no way I can go and talk to him about his feelings. I felt so bad about him… I don’t like to see him in pain…
After some time, I heard a door opened…
Then another door opened… It was the bathroom next to Shane’s room. That door was a bit broken, so it produced an unpleasant sound every time someone tries to open it.
I stayed quiet, listening to the noises.
