Vlog #24
My camera battery died so I charged it last night. A lot happened last night. It's 4:30 so it's still technically night, but you get my point.
For starters, as soon as Harry and I came home, I bandaged up his elbows. With the better lighting in the bathroom I noticed a lot of marks on the inside of his left elbow. They all looked like marks from a needle. Once he noticed me staring at them, he pulled his arms around himself and told me to leave. He insisted on finishing the bandaging himself.
Soon after that Aunt May came home. Harry told her that he didn't feel safe around his brother while his father wasn't home. She hugged him and told him that he was welcome to stay with us. He hardly spoke for the rest of the night.
I let Harry sleep in my bed while I slept in a sleeping bag on the floor. We've always done it that way ever since we were kids. While I laid there trying to sleep despite all of the questions swirling around in my head, I heard something. I sat up slowly, trying to figure out what the sound was and where it was coming from. It was Harry. He was trying not to cry. I could only imagine what he was going through.
I reached out in the darkness and put my hand on his shoulder. He instantly sat up. He probably thought I was asleep. Harry apologized and claimed that he just needed a glass of water. I brought him one and turned the lights on in my room. His eyes were reddish from crying and rubbing them. He quickly drank his water and we both went back to trying to sleep.
Two more times he started crying but, each time I sat up, he stopped. He's trying to be strong. His father has always criticized him for crying. What I'm trying to say is that I understand why he's keeping all of this horrible stuff inside. However, if he continues to keep everything inside it's not going to end well for him.
And then there's Louis. He turned Harry into a monster and who knows what else. Not remembering is probably the worst part for Harry. I feel guilty for not picking up on Louis' strange behavior sooner. And Harry thinks that he killed this girl. This is a huge mess. Why would Louis be doing all of this? What has the Green Goblin been doing for him? What am I missing?
If only Harry talked to me more about what's been going on. I can't believe that he thought I would tell Louis about him using cocaine. If anything, I would have told Aunt May before Louis. Harry really swore me into secrecy with that one, though. I wanted to spill, but I wouldn't without telling Harry first.
When he wakes up he better tell me something. Maybe it'll help him sleep better.
I'm almost at 25 vlogs! If you missed MJ you'll love the next vlog. Is anyone else liking the evil adopted older brother?
