My Evil Older Brother
Chapter 2
I just stood there with my mouth open as wide open as it would go. "What?" I could not believe my ears, I was in utter shocked. I turned and looked at Eli, and at that moment I realized that I don't know him anymore. I have not seen or heard from him in more than a year. I can't believe he has a new girl friend. I mean, if you look at it, Eli never really broke up with Julia. She just died, and they were still together.
"Well, Clare is my new girlfriend." Eli said.
"But what happened to Julia? Huh? Tell me that Eli. I leave and the next thing I hear is that she is dead. And now you have a new girlfriend? How would Julia feel? You two never really broke up." I spat at him.
"Calm down Joy. We all have to move on. Julia would want me to be happy. And believe me I was not thrilled at the idea that I was falling for another girl. But I'm happy it was Clare. Eli said trying to calm me down.
"Ya, it took some time, but Eli came through. Its ok, umm Joy right? I'm not that bad, I'm a nice person you will see." Clare said walking past me to hug Eli.
"You guys make me sick." I said coldly walking away. I had no real room to go to. But I went to my old one, slammed the door behind me, and locked it so they could not bother me. I reach into my bag and grab my notebook. Then I open to a clean page, and take out my red pen. Then I drew Clare's face. I'm an ok artist, and I studied Clare's face good enough to get an accurate picture. Then cross out her face and write "KILLER!" over her face. Then I take out my black pen flip to the next page and write "I hate that Clare girl." and the title. I was writing another one of my stories, and this one would be the best yet. But then a knock on my door stops me. "Go away." I said
"Come on J we need to talk." I heard Eli from behind the door.
"Oh do we? Is girlfriendthere?" I said I was not going to say her names.
"Her name is Clare Edwards. And yes we do." He replied.
"Is girlfriend out of the house?" I ask one more time.
"Yes. Clare is out here." He said.
"I'm not coming out tell girlfriend does." I said coldly.
"Maybe I should go." I heard girlfriend say.
"I guess that would be best" Eli replied. "Don't worry ill get little J straight."
"Cya tomorrow?" Girlfriend said. But I knew the answer, so I beat she did to.
"Count on it." Eli replied. And then I rolled my eyes in discus. I rip out the page that I drew Clare face on, find some tape and walk into the hallway. Eli is standing there waiting for me, but I say nothing. I close the door behind me. Then I tape the picture of Clare and tape it on the door. Then walk away in the kitchen to get an apple. "What is this?" I hear Eli say followed by the sound of him ripping it of my door. Then I side down and bite into my apple like nothing is happing. Then Eli walks into the room. "Umm, Hello?" He said.
"Hola." I said looking up from my apple. "Do you need something?" I say playing stubid. But I know that does not work with Eli.
"Oh you know that I need something. I need you to explain this." He said holding up the picture that I drew.
"Oh, where did you find that?" I asked. I'm not going to let Eli get anything out of me. So I play the dumb card.
"I think you know where I found this." He said. I could tell he was serious, but hey so was I.
"I do?" I say puzzled.
"Oh don't play dumb, are you going to tell me why you made this?" He said with a mean hint in his voice.
"I drew that? I'm sorry but I don't recall. Where did you find it?" I said between chews.
"Hum I don't know, on your bedroom door." He spat at me.
"I thought I did not have a bedroom here." I said taking another bite of my apple.
"I CAN GET NO WHERE WITH YOU!" He screamed. This was weird because Eli never screamed, even when we got into fights before. With that he walked out of the house and my mom, Cece, walked into the room.
"Hey mum." I said with a British accent I'm so good at using.
"Oh my. Little J, you're not so little anymore. How old are you now 14?" She said studying me.
"I'm 13 going on 14 at the end of the month. Question, what happened to my room?" I said. My mom has changed too.
"Oh Little J, I meant to have Bullfrog and Eli move your stuff back, I must have forgot. And you start degrassi Monday." she said. You see I should still be in middle school, but I skipped a grade somewhere along the line. "I'll have then do it tonight, want to sleep in your bed in Eli's room if they don't move it in time."
"Oh no need to do that, me and Big E already moved it in, since tomorrow is the weekend ill move my stuff from the closet in there then." I replied. "What's for dinner?"
"I'm making homemade pizza, want to help?" She asked putting down the bags of food she was carrying.
"Hell ya I want to help." I said jumping up reading to dive into the cooking. I love to cook it's like my weakness.
"Oh ya, Clare is coming over for dinner, did you met her yet?" She said
"What?" I said dropping the flour all over the floor.
