Blood and Sand:Baby Braxton

by SpiderMonkey98

Growing up in a boys world isn't as easy as it sounds. You're expected to meet the criteria of your older brothers and if you don't well don't expect to be apart of the gang. Stereotypes are like barbed wire fences stopping you from showing who you really are, so you have to create a facade, be something else to hide something unpleasant. A short fuse, foul temper, and powerful.

24. I remember

LANI P.O.V

"Jono's gang" Said Josh
"I think so" I said sitting down on the sand bank
"When did your memory come back?"He asked sitting next to me
"A week or so ago"
"you didn't tell anyone?"
"Why would I?"
He was quiet
"I've got to go back to school" I said
"You really wanna go back there?"
"Cant go home can I"
"I'll come with"
We walked up to the grass. I was hoping Brax or Heath wouldn't see me.
"With this not being a Braxton thing, thought of a DNA test?"
"We don't know where Danny is and it's not like he'll agree"
"What about Brax?"
"Well we have the same mum"
"Apparently"
"Ha. yeah, Hey you and Andy are half-brothers right"
"Yeah why"
"Whats that like"
"Its alright, hes more like a dad"
When he said that it reminded me of Brax

When we got to school it was still lunch time. As I walked past the English room I saw Mr McGuire.
"Lani can you come in her for a sec"
I walked in and sat at a desk
"If its about before im sorry"
"Its ok Matt provoked you just don't let it happen again"
"Yep" I said
"I was thinking you ever thought of doing something productive with that anger"
I laughed "Not really, got any ideas"
"I'm coaching a girls basketball team and we need another player"
"Basketball? Not ALF or touch"
"There's no girls teams for that"
"OK then" I said "But I don't even know how to play"
"Its easy you just need to know how to throw a ball"
"Sounds easy" I said getting up and going to the door
"Hey training's Monday's and games are Thursday"
Great, Basketball on Monday and Thursday and Surf training on Sunday. I am going to be busy.

That afternoon when I got home Ricky was in there lounge room
"Hey how was school?" She asked
"School" I replied dumping my bag in my room
"Anything interesting happen?"
"No, why. did you hear something?"
"No" She laughed
"I signed up for basketball"
"Basketball? really?"
"Yeah" I replied "I don't even know how to play though"
Ricky Laughed. She was like the sister I never had. Brax walked in.
"I found Danny" He said
"Where?" I asked
"He got caught up in an armed rob up the coast"
"Have you tried to talk to him?"
"He's dead" He said bluntly
"How"
"He got shot"
"By who?" Asked Ricky
"I don't know"
"So we can do a DNA test now" I said
"yep" said Brax
