Brotherly Love

COLE(14)

It's crazy how much Ms. Angelina effected our lives and she didn't even know it. Maybe she did. It was always hard to know what she was thinking because she was so private with her life. But I don't blame her, he job is to listen to other people's problems. Not to vent.
I watched as she looked over her papers. She was sitting on the floor with her paper scattered around her. She wasnt much of a organizer but it looked like it worked for her. She was in her zone, and I just sat back watching.
"Do you have any siblings?"
I asked while throwing back the rest of the strong liquor I was holding
She shook her head 'no'
I nodded and rested my head back. It was clear that she had other things on her mind and I didn't want to push her
I guess she sensed my boredness because she was now looking up at me
"I had a little sister"
I looked up and my eyes met hers
"But she's no longer"
I nodded my head hopping she would continue with out me asking her
She slid her glasses to the top of her head looked towards the window. The blinds where open you could see the park that was across the street. The park was old and now shut down but I remembered it. When we were kids, we would go there, it was Lana's favorite place to go when her and Jared would argue or just to get out. We stopped going because the park blew up killing everyone there. That's when it hit me
"She was there, wasn't she?" I asked now noticing the tears forming
She nodded her head yes
Flashback
Angelinas pov
I looked around the beautiful blue sky. Birds chirped and flowers bloomed everywhere. It was unreal and looked like we were stuck in a Bob Ross painting
I sat quietly behind a big oak tree so that my sister wouldn't find me. I was 8 and she was 6. My parents sat nearby on a bench. My father was handling business calls after business calls because he was a big time Lawyer. My mother was busy reading some love novel. My sister Ana and I were playing hide and seek, it was her turn to find me.
I peeked around the tree and saw her looking in the opposite direction. Then I noticed a ice cream truck nearby. I smiled huge as I snuck from behind the tree and raced towards it. She saw me started laughing and running towards me. But she was too late. I made it towards the truck and before I knew it, I herd a loud boom causing me to go flying across the street and landing on my leg incorrectly. It snapped and I yelled in pain. But I couldn't hear. The explosion caused me to go death momentarily. People where running to me yelling, but I still couldn't hear anything. Some one planted a bomb to get back at my father for beating a case against them. The bomb not only killed my parents but it killed Ana too.

Flash back
I was in shock that we matched. Except she looked so beautiful. Her hair was short and curly but it still complimented her face. She put a little effort into her makeup but I thought she still looked great.
"What are you doing after this?" I asked
"What?" She responded not being able to hear over the music
"What are you doing after this?"
I yelled this time
She shrugged her shoulder
"I don't know" she spoke trying to yell, but I still couldn't hear her
I grabbed her hand and led her out the dance. We walked outside and that's where Paul and Everyone where at
Paul was having the time of his life. We didn't own a car but The rich kids always let him drag race in their cars for a exchange of him working on them. Truth is they enjoyed him racing and so that's why they didn't mind. Vin was standing next to his ride talking to his girlfriend Letty. Letty was Johnnys cousin and we met here through a party. She didn't speak much but she was still pretty nice, well when she wanted to be. They girl could hang with the boys and not take shit from anyone. That's how she got respected. But Vin wouldn't let anyone touch her anyways because he was always crazy about her, and she was just as crazy. I smiled at the sight
"Isn't that your brother?" Taylor asked while eyeing the car he pulled over in.
"Yeah, that's Paul, he's one of my oldest brothers" she nodded and continued looking around
"And that's my cousin Vin" I spoke pointing to Vin and Letty
"The girl next to him is Letty, she's family too"
"You have such a big family" I shrugged my shoulders
"Looks that way, huh?"
She nodded
"Hey" Paul said walking over and throwing a arm around me
"Who's your girl?"
"This is Taylor" I said as they shook hands
"I'm Paul"
"Yeah I told her already" I spoke annoyed
He caught on to my annoyance and laughed
"Don't worry, she's too young for me" he said while winking and flashing his blue eyes her way
She just laughed it off
"Are you gonna walk home with us? Because Jared is drunk off his ass"
"Again?" I spoke annoyed.
He nodded and continued looking out towards Vin
"I'll walk with you" Taylor spoke
I looked at her and smiled
"You sure?"
She nodded her head for reassurance. "Yeah I don't mind walking"
"Well if it gets to cold, I can give you my sweater" Paul said while joking
I looked at him and pushed him away from us laughing
"I was only kidding kid" he said while laughing and making way towards the cars. I nodded and shook my head.
"Wanna go and for the last dance?"
I nodded my head 'yes'
