Life with Three Brothers

Chapter 13

Uriah's P.O.V.

It's the new year already and I'm happy to go to school, only because I can escape my brothers trying to be nice to me 24/7. I just got home from school and Maverick's truck was in the driveway which is unsual since it never is here this early.

I walked in the door and heard someone throwing up in the bathroom.
"Hello?" I said walking down the hallway.
"Hey, Uri. Don't come in here. You'll get sick." Jonas replied while rinsing his mouth.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"No. I was walking to my class when I almost threw up in the hallway. I texted Mav and he told me to take the truck home and call in sick to work too." Jonas answered.
"Maverick let you take his truck?!" I said in surprise.
"Yeah. I was shocked too. Now go do your homework. I'll be in my room. Don't come in because I don't want you to get sick." He replied.
I nodded and went to my room.

I did my homework for an hour and then Ellis came home.
"Where's Mav?" He asked.
"At work. Jonas is sick so Maverick let him drive the truck home from their college." I answered.
"Oh. Did you eat dinner yet?" He asked.
I shook my head no and he said "Do you want to go get something to eat?"
"Sure." I replied.
"Okay. Let me text Mav." He said while pulling out his phone.
He texted Maverick and then came closer to my bed where I had my books out.

"What unit are you on in math?" He asked.
"The second last one. We have a test this Friday that I'm studying for right now." I answered.
He nodded and then his phone dinged meaning that Maverick texted him.
He read the text and texted Maverick back.
"Come on, Uri. We're picking Mav up and then going out to eat." Ellis told me.
"Go ask Jonas if he wants anything." He added.
"He said that I can't go near him since he's sick." I replied.

I pulled out my phone and called Jonas.
"What, Urimonster?" He said picking up.
"Do you want anything for dinner? We're going out." I asked.
"No thanks. Make sure you eat though." He answered.
"Okay, bye. Hope you feel better." I replied and hung up.

Ellis and I went out to Maverick's truck and I got into the front.
Ellis put the keys in and I put my seatbelt on.
He turned on the radio and High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco came on.
I really like this song, but I'm not gonna show because I don't want my brothers to know what music I like since they'll try to like the music too, just so we can have something in common.

We drove to the college and parked in the student parking lot. Ellis got out of the truck and walked to my side of the truck.
"Get in the back so we can leave once Mav gets here." He said.
I got out and got into the backseat.

Maverick got to the truck a few minutes later and we drove to Five Guys.
"What do you want in here, Urimonster?" Maverick asked.
"BLT please." I answered quietly.
"Okay. What milkshake do you want?" He asked.
"Salted Carmel please." I answered.
He nodded and we went inside.

Maverick ordered for us while Ellis and I sat down at a table.
We got our food after a couple minutes and we started eating.
"Is your BLT good?" Maverick asked as I finished my last bite of it.
I nodded and grabbed some of his fries.
"Jeez, you ate that fast." He laughed.
I had a sip of my milkshake and Ellis said "Can I have some of that please?"
I nodded and he tried some.
"That's good." He replied.

We all finished eating and then went home.
"Jonas, you good?" Maverick called from the hallway.
"No." Jonas called back from his room.
I went to my room and put my school books back in my bag.

I grabbed the remote from the tv stand and turned the tv on. I started watching Greatest Hits which is a tv show consisting of music videos of popular songs.
After half an hour, Ellis came up from behind the couch and shoved his dirty socks in my face.
I screamed in annoyance and scrambled to get away from him.
Maverick laughed along with Ellis and Ellis stopped.
I glared at him and sat back down on the couch.

Greatest Hits finished and I was still obviously annoyed at Ellis.
"Oh stop pouting. It was a joke, don't be such a baby." Ellis said coming into the living room and taking the remote from me.
Maverick came in and Ellis changed the channel to the hockey game.
I sat there so I wouldn't get yelled at for not spending time with them, which is what they usually do.

I watched the whole game with them while they just yelled at the tv about the stupid calls that were made by refs or how the players were being idiots. I took the remote that was beside Ellis and changed the channel to Greatest Hits since it was on again.
"Hey, give that back." Ellis said while lunging at me.
I moved out of the way and he sat on me.
He took the remote from my hands and then farted on me.
He laughed along with Maverick and I glared at him as he got off of me.
I started kicking him and he quickly grabbed my legs so I couldn't kick him.

"You're just asking to get beat up." He said letting go of my legs and going to the kitchen.
He came back in with an unopened pop and a bag of chips.
"Can you get the blanket over there for me please, Ellis?" I asked.
"Sure." He answered and turned around to walk over to the other chair.
I jumped on his back and put him in a chokehold.
"Alright, you asked for it." Ellis said and put his pop and bag of chips down on the side table.

He bend down and bucked me off his back thanks to gravity, and then he grabbed me.
He put me in a painful wrestling move and I laid there not doing anything even though it hurt. He stopped once he realized that I wasn't reacting and he decided to just sit there, holding me down.
"Stop Ellis." I said trying to get up.
"Shut up, you're fine." He replied while using his long arms to reach his chips and pop.
"Maverick, get him off." I whined.
"I'm good." Maverick said.

I sighed and I heard Jonas walk down the hallway.
"Jonas, help!" I pleaded as he got to the living room.
"Unless you want me to get you sick El, I suggest you get off of him." Jonas said coming into the room.
Ellis sighed and got off.
"Thanks, Jonas." I said and he went into the kitchen.
He grabbed a bottle of water and then went back to his room.

Ellis sat on the couch and I went to our room.
I changed into my pyjamas and then stuck my head out of the doorway.
"I'm going to bed." I said.
"Okay. Goodnight, brat." Maverick replied from the living room.
I closed the bedroom door and went over to my bed.
I got into bed while pulling the blankets up to my neck and I fell asleep.
