poop

I was laid up in bed peacefully while enjoying some random movie on netflix when my door suddenly flung open. I let out a loud sigh turning to look back at my brother.

“What do you want Oliver?” I asked turning my attention back to the tv. I felt my bed sink in as he sat down.

“I can’t just come and hang out with my brother?” he spoke quietly. I turned to look at him and he looked mildly upset.

“Hey are you alright?” I asked worriedly.

“I....I’m good” with that he quickly left my room closing the door behind him. I stared at the door confused by what just happened, I’ve never seen Oliver act like that before. My phone began to buzz before I could even really processed what just happened. Looking at the caller ID it was Alton.

“Hey Alton what’s up?” I answered

“Nothing I just wanted to see how things went at work today, sorry again that I wasn’t there”

“It’s fine man and honestly you dodged a fucking bullet we got slammed today” I chuckled.

“That’s weird for a Thursday night”

“Yea it is” There was a pregnant silence and I could here Alton’s staggering breathing.

“Alton are you sure everything’s ok?” There was another long pause before he answered.

“Actually do you want to grab something to eat, I need to talk to you...in person” he spoke in a low tone and it was really starting to scare me.

“Yea just give me a couple of minutes” Alton hung up without another word. I quickly put on my shoes and coat and headed downstairs.

“Where are you headed?” Mom called out from the kitchen as I reached the front door.

“I’m just grabbing a bite to eat” I called back and left without waiting for a reply from her. I made it to Alton’s house in record time and he was sitting on his porch waiting. He got into the car without saying a word but looking at him I could tell he’d been crying.

We didn’t speak until we got to our destination which was a local diner. We sat in a booth until a waitress approached us.

“Hi my name is Gia I’m gonna be your waitress tonight can I start you guys off with some drinks?” she has a very bubbly personality.

“I’ll have a water” I smiled she nodded and looked over at Alton.

“What about you?” she asked but Alton didn’t answer he was blankly staring out the window.

“He’ll have a water as well” I answered for him. She smiled then walked away.

“So what did you want to talk about?” I asked I didn’t want to push him.

He let out a sigh. “My dad started drinking again” he admitted. My eyes widened in shock, Alton’s dad is a recovering alcoholic. Now I get why Alton is upset a few years ago his dad had gotten really drunk and had hit Alton and his mom.

They’d had agreed to forgive him over time only if he had gotten sober and stayed that way and he did up until know at least.

“Alton I’m so sorry” I said said grabbing his resting hand and giving it a squeeze.

“Mom wants him to leave, she doesn’t want to take any risk”

“And what do you think?” I questioned.

“I agree with my mom we can’t have something like that happening again.” Alton and I talked for a hour or two before deciding to call it a night.

“Are you sure you don’t want to stay the night?” I asked as we came to a stop outside of his house.

“I’m sure, I need to check on my mom”

I sent him a smile “Ok, then talk tomorrow?”

“Talk tomorrow” he waved.

“I need the car tonight” Oliver stated as he sat down at the table where I was peacefully eating my breakfast enjoying my morning since we didn’t have school because of some burst of some bullshit.

“Well I have work tonight so..” I trailed off.

“You can ride with Alton”

“No Alton’s not working today” I argued

“Well I’ll drop you off then and mom or dad can pick you up”

“Fine but you need to remind them, and what do you need the car for anyway?” I questioned continuing to eat my eggs.

“For a little something called none of your business”

Why did I have to get such a piece of shit brother? Is a question I ask myself every single day.

For some odd reason business was really slow today so I let Nick leave early since this was his second double shift covering for Alton.

I was in the back doing dishes when I heard the bell go off indicating that there was a customer. I walked to the front and guess who smiling face I seen.

“Hey” Konnor smiled.

“Hi how are you?” I couldn’t help the blush creep onto my face.

“I’m doing good, it’s just you here today?” he asked.

“Yea it’s been really slow”

“I see that” he chuckled looking around the empty store.

I noticed his backpack hanging off his shoulder. “Here to do some more work?” I asked nodding my head towards his bag.

“Yep that is if you don’t mind?”

“N-no not all that’s what we’re here for and to be honest I could use the company, it’s just me and my thoughts here” Gosh I sound like such an idiot.

“Ok I’ll take a whi-”

“White chocolate frappuccino?” I finished.

“Excatly” he smiled. He paid for his drink and sat down at a table while I made it. Once it was done I walked it over to him and sat it down at the table causing him to look up fro his laptop.

“You didn’t have to bring it to me” he spoke.

I waved my hand dismissing it “Don’t worry about it.”

“Thanks, so you seem to work a lot” he stated taking a long sip off his frap.

“Yeah, but I like it, it keeps me busy”

“Wow I was nothing like that in highschool I did everything I could to get out of working he laughed. Boy was his laugh the most precious thing I’ve heard.

I left Konnor to do his work while I did my duties of such. It was finally closing time and I let Konnor stay while I closed up again even though he insisted that he didn’t because he didin’t want me to get in trouble.

“Where’s your ride?” Konnor asked glancing around the parking lot.

I’ve got to say that I was wondering the same thing myself. “I have no idea” I answered truthfully.

“Do you want me to wait with you?” he asked.

I shook my head. “No it’s ok I’m sure they’ll be here soon” I replied.

“You sure?”

“I’m sure, thank you though” I smiled.

“Ok I’ll see you then” he waved walking off to his truck. He waved again as he pulled off.

As soon as he was out of sight I pulled out my phone and called my dad, no answer. I called my mom straight to voicemail. So I called Oliver thankfully he answered.

“Hello”

“Hello my ass did you remind mom or dad to pick me up?” I questioned.

“Oh yeah they went out on a date” he replied nonchalant

“Well then are you picking me up?”

“No, I’m chilling with my friends” he said in duh tone.

"Oliver it is freezing cold outside your ass better be here to pick me up" my blood was starting to boil.

"Ask Hazel to pick you up"

"I'm not asking Hazel she lives an hour from here!!" I argued.

"Well I don't know what you want me to do, but I gotta go" then the line went dead.

"Fucking asshole!!" I yelled into the empty streets.

My only choice was to walk home so I bundled myself up the best I could and began to walk. It was starting to snow and pretty heavily and I was freezing my ass off.

I still had about another ten minutes before I was home when a truck pulled up next to me. The window rolled down and I've never been happier to see a face.

"Need a ride?"

A/N: I know I have been gone for awhile and I am really sorry for that ya boy thought he could handle working and all the amount of school work I have but boy was I wrong but I getting through. Hopefully I can update more frequently. Also I know Miss. Rona has been fucking our live so I really want to know how have you guys been, like really let me know or I'll hunt you down:)
