"I'm going to kill him. If he keeps this up, I'll end up killing him or kicking him out of this damn house!" I thought to myself. Today is my younger brother's birthday, he just became 20, and he decided to invite some friends. I thought to myself; sure, a few friends are alright, no problem. So three of his friends come over, immediately the four of them gather in the living room, they start playing videogames and become noisy as hell. I go upstairs to find something else to do on my day off. It hasn't been 10 minutes, and already they're screaming at each other. I just ignore them and try to solve my Rubix cube until I hear a loud crash. I rushed out of my room and ran downstairs, which led me straight to the living room. "What the hell is going on here?" I asked. I expected to see my brother fighting with one of his friends, but they continued to play as if nothing had happened. I began to search the room for any broken furniture. I couldn't find anything wrong, so I slowly start walking back upstairs. When I got to the top of the stairs, I stopped and tried to listen through the gunshots. The television was loud, but I heard one of my brother's friends say something.

"...I thought he would find the vase."

Aha! I knew they broke something. Wait, was he talking about that expensive purple vase? No, that vase was so lovely too! I'm going to make him pay, I was going to confront them, but I thought against it. He would just deny it, plus he had support from his friends. It just wouldn't end well for me. I walked back to my room, which was to the right of the staircase. I walked in and found my Typhlosion, Ruby. She was sitting on the bed finishing the Rubix cube I left on the bed; she was always good at solving that.

"You should show me how you solve that," I said. Ruby just smiled and shrugged. "What do you want to do now?" I asked, "since there isn't anything to do with those idiots downstairs." Ruby stopped smiling and shrugged again. "I something wrong?" I asked. She shook her head. "Come on, you know you can tell me anything...or at least try," I said. Ruby just laid back and sighed. "So you just want to lie here for the next couple of hours?" I asked. Again, she nodded.

A few hours later.

The cake was cut, my brother Rick and his friends played for the rest of the afternoon. Then they left around 8 o'clock, and that's when I talked to my brother. "Okay, so where is the vase?" I asked. "What vase?"

"The vase that fat bastard said I didn't find!" I said, raising my voice.

"Oh, that vase, yeah, it's broken."

"Where is it?"

"In the trash can."

"What?!"

I quickly walked through the doorway leading to the kitchen and opened a cabinet door, and looked in the trash can inside. The vase was there, most of it was still intact, but half of the base was broken off. I turned around and saw Rick standing in the doorway.

"What the hell! How did you break a vase playing video games?"

"Kyle got mad, so he got out of his seat to punch me, so I pushed him, and he fell back on the coffee table, and the control in his hand hit the vase, and it broke. Why are you so mad the vase wasn't expensive it only cost like 15 dollars."

"Okay, first of all, it was 50 dollars, and second, I really liked that vase, and I'm mad mainly because you're always abusing the money I make. You break or ruin anything that's not in my room!"

"Whatever, I'm going to go shower."

I lost it; he doesn't care what I do or say, so I'm going to do something about it. I walked up behind him, turned him around by the shoulder, and punched him across the face. He stumbled backward and looked at me, and charged. Ruby, who was watching television, got off the couch and started heading for the door. She always left whenever my brother and I got into fights. I'm not sure where she goes, but she always returns, so I don't worry too much. Rick came rushing towards me and swung at me. I barely avoided it as I took a step back. Afterward, I tackled him to the ground and started beating the crap out of him. I heard the front door close, and I looked up. During this time, Rick had the chance to hit my gut. I clenched my stomach and was pushed to my side. My brother got on top of me and did to me what I did to him.

A couple of minutes later

In the end, it was a tie. We both gave up due to exhaustion. My brother left to stay at his friend Kyle's house. As for me, I sat on the couch with a bag of ice on my head, waiting for Ruby to return. Where could she be? Is Ruby okay? It is pretty late, but then again, we did have a brutal fight. Maybe she is purposely taking a long time. Ow, my head really hurts. I'll just go to bed; she'll be here soon. I started going upstairs when I heard the front door open. Ruby came in. "Where have you been? Are you okay?" I asked. "Ty typhlo," she said. "Hmm, well, how about we get to bed." She just nodded; she looked a little upset. "Is something bothering you?" Ruby shook her head. "Alright, then let's get to bed."

We walked upstairs and turned right when we got to the top. There were two doors at the end of the hallway. On the right was Ruby's room, and to oppose to her door was my room. We both went into our appropriate rooms without another word. My room was the master bedroom, and I'm glad because it makes it easier on me when I shower. Speaking of which, I did shower and lay down on my bed afterward. My head is hurting a lot more; maybe I'm getting a fever? Damn, I feel so tired, and this headache isn't helping. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll feel better. I have to. I have to work tomorrow. My eyelids got heavier and heavier until I fell into a deep slumber.
