Joe's P.O.V
I never saw Adam so angry before. It's not like I broke his knife on purpose. He couldn't let me tell him what happen he just assumed the worst like always.
He should be happy that I ran away after all his fault he had to tell Pa that he'll be glad to be away from me when he's in college. Good for him I hope he stays there. I don't need Adam for a big brother I have Hoss.
I guess Adam doesn't want me around anymore or love me. I know we have had our fights but I can't believe he wouldn't want me around. Well I don't care if he doesn't want me around that's fine with me.
I bet he doesn't even care that I ran away I bet he's really happy about it. I'm sure Pa and Hoss are worry about me but there's no way I'm going back not when Adam hates me.
Adam's P.O.V
It all started on a Friday in May…well actually it had all started after I told him that I'll be leaving the ranch in a few months to go to college in Boston.
Joe knew that it was a dream of mine to go to college but he couldn't understand why I would want to go if it meant me leaving my home and our family but most importantly why I would want to go if it meant leaving him.
Sure we had our fights but why would Joe think there was a reason why I would abandon him. I would never abandon him, Pa or Hoss. That was the hardest part in my decision about going to college leaving the three people who I love the most in the world.
Ever since I announced about going to college all me and Joe did was argue about anything and everything instead of talking about what was clearly bothering us; Me leaving.
Pa had tried and tried again to get us to open up what was bothering us but both of us wouldn't budge. As he says it we're stubborn mules.
Even Hoss has tried to play 'peacemaker' between his quarreling brothers but after a few tries I think he realized that we need to work it out for ourselves.
That does gonna be a lot harder to do since every time I try to talk to Joe we end up fighting. I hate fighting with Joe but sometimes he gets me so mad like the other day when I found out that he broke my jackknife.
