Two Brothers. ( A Drama)

No Turning Back

- Milena

I kept my cool while Carnell was here. I saved my mini freak out for the shower. He didn't need to see me upset about his brother. Carnell and I are unofficially together. We kiss, hug, and cuddle. He always comes over or I'm at his house and he stays true to his word. He's everything I wanted him to be.

Am I selfish for thinking it's too late for this change in him? I had to go through all that embarrassment for him to treat me right. Not saying I don't appreciate it now, I do, really. It's just I hate how everything feels reversed now. Carnell is the good guy and Patrick is the asshole. And again I can't stop thinking about the asshole. I wish it was switched back, when Patrick was my safezone and Carnell was the reason I was running to him. I guess I am selfish..

After parking I headed to the waiting area Carnell said they would be in. I felt sluggish. Besides the fact it's 7:30am I wasn't looking forward to the news about Patrick.

The elevator doors opened and I could see them all down the hall. I really only could tell for sure that was Carnell sitting down. The closer I got I knew I was right. Whenever I see his face those negative thoughts I have disappear. He has a power over me that I can't deny. I know he's changing and it isn't easy. "Hey everybody." I waved and gave a weak smile. Everyone gave me a smile and Hi. I sat down next to Carnell and rubbed his arm. "You guys get any news?" "Nothing yet as far as injuries. A lady found him in the car at like 5 this morning. He crashed into a pole, which I see as a positive because he could've hit someone else driving drunk. Dumbass. I ruled out the possibility that he's dead, they would've told us by now." "He'll be ok." I said holding his hand.

Only his brothers and their Mother came. I haven't seen them since the incident, I was a little afraid to say hi. It's not like I'm just here for Patrick, I'm with Carnell. They probably think I'm some kind of hoe too. I can't win for losing. Carnell's older brother Kelly came over to sit by us. I shrank in my seat feeling intimidated. "Hey." He said up beat with a smile. "Hi." I said shyly. "I've been meaning to ask you since shit hit the fan-" "Kelly." Carnell warned him. "The day you beat Carnell's ass-" "Shut the fuck up and go back where you were." Carnell was obviously irritated. "Yo, I was just trying to lighten the mood." Kelly smiled slyly. "You two cut it out. Now. And stop cussing." Ms.B warned them, she wasn't playing. "Ma he started with me!" "I didn't say anything to him!" "I don't care who started it, quit it right now! Makes no sense I still have to remind you two to behave yourselves." Dustin and Bryan were sitting across from us trying to hold in laughs. "I'm going to get a cappuccino. You want something?" "No I'm good."

Although Kelly tried to break the awkwardness it was still alive and well. It's not like he didn't try. I was sitting down waiting for my cappuccino to finish when I decided to check my phone. There were missed calls from Patrick and Royce, two texts and a voicemail. I checked the voicemail first because I hate seeing that icon sit at the top of my screen. "You have 1 unheard message." The next voice I heard was Patrick's, he was obviously drunk. He got in the car last night to come see me. It was my fault. If I would've answered I could've convinced him to stay home at least. I could've stopped this from happening! "Who you on the phone with?" I jumped a little, it was just Carnell. "Uh um no one." "I was trying to call you to tell you to bring me a snickers but I didn't get a signal." "Yeah weird.." "You ok?" "Yeah..I'm fine."

45 minutes later

- Carnell

Milena has been acting strange as hell since I found her in the vending area. She wasn't like this when she first showed. I ignored her biting her lip, I ignored that damn leg shaking, and I ignored her constantly checking her phone. When she kept making comments about Patrick is what started to piss me the fuck off. It was every fuckin' five minutes a comment or concern about Patrick. Not that I'm not concerned for my brother too but she's acting more worried than me. She's acting like she still has feelings for the nigga..
