Author's Note ~ Special Shout-Out To Dolphy who sent me a surprise birthday
picture for me, thanks girl that really meant a lot!
"Never walk out mad, because you never know if you're going to walk back in".
(I'll explain the quote for those who don't understand it later in the text ;) )
"WildWing", screamed Nosedive, "I don't care! You seem to not comprehend that I don't care!"
"Here we go", muttered Duke from the living room.
"Man they have been at it all morning", said Tanya.
"And I thought it was going to settle down but now that Nosedive is yelling back well I don't see that happening in the near future", said Mallory.
"Sibling Rivalry", asked Grin.
"No just pure stupidity", replied Mallory.
~Hallway~
"Nosedive this is ridiculous! You have a curfew that you have to abide by!"
"Who cares? And excuse you! Who died and became you my parent, you're just the big brother like you have always been! Nothing more! Hear me? NOTING MORE!"
"Why you little-"
"No! I'm sick of it, you all boss me around because I'm smaller and younger than you!"
"No because you're an unbelievable moron and we can take advantage of you!"
"Ha you admit it!"
"NO I don't admit it! You paranoid fool!"
~Living Room~
"Do they even know what they're saying", asked Duke.
"Hey it beats watching T.V. since the cable is out", said Tanya.
There was huge storm brewing up outside and had already knocked down one of the cable lines.
"Guess it does", said Mallory.
~Hallway~
"And WildWing another thing", screamed Nosedive, "If this was so important to you, than why didn't you talk about it right this morning!? Huh? Oh and another thing, you seem to forget that I could care less about cleaning up my room! I'm not doing it!"
"Well I'm not living in that", cried WildWing, "First you woke me up coming in two in the morning, and than I couldn't go back to sleep so went to get up and than I started tripping over YOUR mess. And than when tripped over a moldy pizza that was the last straw! Query Nosedive, how did your mess get onto my side of the room?"
"Do you think I care? If you have problems than just leave the room! I should have my own room! I always had to share with you!"
"And I always had to share with you! You and your big mess!"
"Leave me alone", exclaimed Nosedive, "Just leave me alone, you're not the boss of me!"
"Than who is?"
"Yours truly, me myself and I!"
"BUT you're only sixteen years old!"
"Almost seventeen!"
"Not the point, you're still a baby!"
"Well la-di-dah Wing, I don't care!"
"NOSEDIVE!"
"What? And you always get what you want, I never get what I want!"
"What the stars do you want?"
"A puppy!"
"Nosedive we can't keep a puppy! Tanya's allergic!"
"That's not the point! I've wanted a pet ever since I was little and I never got one!"
"Yeah so?"
"So whenever you want something, everyone is so quick to get it for you!"
"What are you talking about!?"
"You were always the good kid, mama's little boy. If you wanted something than you were sure to get it. When you wanted to stay out late you always were allowed, but I wanted to do at the same age I wasn't!"
"That's because mom trusted me! I don't do stupid things like you!"
"HEY! I don't do stupid things!"
"Than how do you explain Jason's condition?"
Nosedive went cold; his face went white and pale. WildWing immediately whished he could take back what he said but it was too late, the damage was done.
Canard in the other room dropped his paper anticipating the result hoping that Nosedive wouldn't resent his best friend's previous remark. The group looked at Canard.
"What's this all about", asked Duke.
"Hang on I'm listening", said Canard, "I'll tell you in a minute."
And in a minute Nosedive came stomping out of the room tears in his eyes.
"Nosedive wait", called WildWing, "I'm sorry I didn't mean that."
Nosedive grabbed the keys and slammed the door behind him, completely blowing off his brother. WildWing sighed.
"Well you blew that", said Canard.
"Well it was so frustrating", retaliated WildWing, "He wouldn't stop!"
"Yeah but Wing", said Canard, "That was a bit harsh, you didn't have to go that far."
"Guys want to clue us in", commented Mallory.
"Here's the short version", said WildWing, "Nosedive went to a lame party so to get the party going him and a few friends bet Jason McDermin to jump out a second story window into the pool. Only Jason missed the pool and landed on hard concrete. He became paralyzed for the rest of his life, and Nosedive feels guilty."
"Way to Wing", said Duke, "You really blew that."
"Okay guys enough", said WildWing, "I just couldn't get his attention."
"Can you blame him", commented Mallory, "You let that kid get away with murder!"
"I'm not his father, didn't you hear him proclaim that to the world?"
"Still the kid needs boundaries", said Duke, "Don't you think, I mean he is only sixteen."
"Well what do you want me to do about it", snapped WildWing, "I'm his brother! Geez that stupid mess in our room is still there, and I have to go clean it up, I'll see you guys later."
"WildWing", said Tanya, "I think you're missing the bigger picture."
"What bigger picture", asked WildWing.
"How about the fact that you upset your brother so much that he stomped out of a room angry", asked Canard, "But besides from that, you have a parental problem here."
"Well than you deal with it", snapped WildWing.
Than the telephone rang.
"Perfect timing", said WildWing.
WildWing snatched the phone glad for an excuse to get himself out of conversation.
…
A minute later he fainted.
"Never walk out mad, because you never know if you're going to walk back in".
