Chapter 60

Aby POV

I was in such a hurry to get home, I ran and didn't wait for Jack. "Where is he? Where's my brother?" I asked as I walked in. Dad laughed. "He's upstairs showering, calm down. We don't wanna scare him." Dad said laughing. "We?" Mom asked. Dad rolled his eyes. I went up to my room and noticed my picture was moved. I ran downstairs. "Were you in my room?" I asked. "Uh, Jacob was." Dad said. I nodded and went back up there. I saw him standing in the hallway. "Um, Hi. You must be Jacob." I said smiling. "Aby, yeah." He said drying his hair. "Hmm, well it's nice to finally meet my brother!" I said excitedly. "Brother? Ha. We barely know each other. You know how much I had to leave just to meet some depressed stepsister?" He asked. I frowned. "Sorry you were poor." I said crossing my arms. "Oh so now you think you're better than us?" He asked. "Oh no, it's just I prepared so much and you call me this depressed stepsister? Ha, I'm more than you'll ever know. Dumb bitch." I said slamming the door. How dare he come in here and disrespect me in my own house.

Jacob POV

Good, my presence is known. Hopefully they leave me alone. I got dressed and looked at my phone. Kelly. I called her. "How is the other coast?" She asked. "Not as bad as I thought it would be buuut never netter than the east." I said. "I miss you already." She said with a cracked voice. "I love you okay? Never forget that." I said. "I gotta go but, I love you too." The call ended. Dad walked in the room. "Since you're the new guest, you get to pick which restaurant we go to." He said. "Any pizza place is good for me." Okay, well I'll be downstairs." He said. I went by Aby's room. "Jack, he's a complete asshole. He thinks I'm a freak. Jack! I don't like him and I don't care if he is my brother he's rude and obnoxious." She said quietly. I opened the door. "Wow, thanks for the compliments. They mean alot coming from a sister." I said. "You know, don't hate me because you were too poor and had to come live with us! I'm not the one to blame." She said. "Aby!" Some guy jack yelled. "I know you're not talking you druggie, think I don't know about your overdose? Pleeaaaseee, I dare you try it again." I said angrily. "Hey, that was too far." Jack said. She ran at me tackling me on the ground. She kicked me in my stomach and punched me in my lip. Jack grabbed her off of me amd took her in his room. Dad and Mary came upstairs widened eye. "What did you do to her?" Mary asked angrily. I wiped the blood off my lip. "She never gets angry like that only if you say the wrong thing. What did you do?" She asked. "She called me poor, I called her a druggie." I said flatly. She gasped and walked pass me to Jacks room. Dad helped me up. "Are you really trying to start problems already? Jacob, this won't make you go home?" Dad said walking down the stairs.  After about an hour later we were heading to the Pizza place. I sat by Dad while they sat on the other side. I smiled at Aby and mocked her mood. "You know what, I can't do this!" She yelled. Dad looked up. "Honey, what do you mean?" He asked. "Get along with him! He is not the brother I expected. & probably never will be." She said. "You don't know what I had to leave behind." I snapped. "No, I don't because I've never had friends until now but when I moved here from New York, I adjusted just fine. You are just dumb enough to not know how." She said shrugging. "Aby! Stop!" Mary yelled. Dad rubbed his temples. "This can all work out IF we get along. Meaning no fighting." He said. I looked at Aby. "Mom, can Beatrice come over?" She asked. Mary nodded. She rolled her eyes and ate a slice of pizza. "Who's Beatrice?" I asked. She looked at me and glared. "My best friend." She snapped. After we ate we came back home.
