I was still standing in the threshold with my shoulder holding open the kitchen door. There was no way in fucking hell I was gonna yell at Ma so I chose Ang'.
"Angel, you've got no fucking clue what you're talking' about so shut the hell up for once in your damn life!" I sighed and turned to Ma knowing she meant well. "Ma, listen I'm happy Mikey's here but you gotta understand he's not the most forgiving person and after living with Carly (I refuse to call that bitch my mother, ma's my mom and always would be) for 8 years, there's no telling what she made him believe… I got to make this right I'll be back as soon as I find him you all stay here."
"Bobby who the hell is that kid!" Both Jerry and Angel yelled as I was closing the screen door.
I sighed knowing that I'd have to tell them everything eventually. "My baby brother." And let the oak door slam behind me as I took off down the sidewalk.
The look on Mikey's face kept flashing in my mind. It was t he exact same one that he gave me the last time I'd seen him. I saw him turn the corner and sped up.
Jimmy's POV Flashback: Eight Years EarlierI couldn't understand why my big brother, the one who taught me everything, the only parental figure in my life, my hero, was leaving me.
"What'd I do wrong Bobby? I won't do it again! Why are you leaving!" I was near hysterics and Bobby was doing his best to calm me down. My words were muffled due to the fact that my head was buried into his hoodie.
"Shh… kid listen to me you did nothing wrong!" He whispered fiercely. "This was all on me, Mikey. Don't worry though I'll take care of it… I'll always come back for you baby-boy…"
Present DayI scoffed at the memory. What bullshit I hadn't seen that asshole in 8 years.
"Kid if you're gonna run from someone make sure they don't know the streets better than you do."
"Fuck you, you've got not right telling me shit."
"Get back to the house, Mikey. Don't make me drag you there."
"I already told everyone in that fucking house that I wasn't staying there. I get to choose so I'll go to Juvie if I have to."
"You're sixteen fucking years old you don't get to make decisions!"
" I've been making my own decisions since I was eight and I don't need some prick who thinks just because he shares some DNA with me, he can tell me what to do. You're the one who left asshole and you dropped all your brotherly duties when you didn't comeback I don't need you I never have and I never will stay the fuck out of my life. You're dead to me!"
If it had been anyone else I wouldn't have thought Bobby was even fazed. His face looked so… calm. But I saw the muscles in his Jaw twitch like he was clenching his teeth really hard. I'd hurt him. Good.
"You don't want to go along by yourself? Fine! I'll drag your ass back!"
