A Brother's Regret

"Amelia get your ass out of bed!" A loud angry voice yelled loudly outside Amelia's bedroom followed by a loud angry knock on the door. Groaning she got out of bed sluggishly. She was slowly getting used to his harsh treatment. It all started after that party. Andrew's attitude towards her changed. He suddenly changed from being a caring big brother to a nasty mean bully like the others at school. It was a real shock to her because she never expected him to do such a thing. Although back then she saw the guilt in his eyes and convince herself that he didn't mean it but as months went by, he became extremely mean and desperate to be fully accepted by the popular jocks at school. Even if it meant giving her new bruises everyday so he could brag about it to his friends and it didn't help that their parent are always not around.Signing loudly, she picked up her glasses on the bedside table and put it on, then she got out of bed limping her way tow

Andrew sat in the waiting room at the hospital staring at the white wall before him. He was still in shock at the incident which took place a while ago.His vision blurred with tears as he realize the reason for his sister's accident. It was all his fault.Amelia was lying there at that hospital room fighting for her life because of him.If only he had been a good brother to her If only he had protected her all this wouldn't have happened.What would he say to his parent? How would he tell them that he was the reason why his sister is so close to death.The thought cause his heart to tighten in hurt and his eyes glass with unshed tears.He was in so much emotional pain that he didn't notice Dave, Amelia's friend who has been pacing around finally came in front of him."This is all your fault" he accused; his voice was shaky and tears were running down his eyes. Dave never openly stood up to Andrew so

Andrew looked around the parking lot hoping that Francis hadn't left. He searched for Francis car and he spotted it at the other side and noticed that Francis was almost getting inside."France" he called as he ran to meet him.Francis hands held the car door confused as he searched for the voice that called his name. He notice Andrew running towards him and he waited to hear what he had to say.He hoped it would be something nice and hopefully nothing mean.Francis knew that he doesn't deserve anything from Andrew but Andrew is the only real friend he ever had even if he didn't want to admit it sometimes.He was stund when Andrew suddenly pulled him into a hug but it didn't take long for him to relax and hug him back, his eyes heavy with tears."You moron. You call me your friend and you didn't tell me about your family"Francis allowed the tears to fall. He didn't care if he looked like a cry baby at this moment. All t

Life became hell and lonely for Andrew. His parent refused to speak to him after they found out what he did. He also kept his distance from Amelia and it hurts to see she was doing much better without him.He could only watch her from her hospital room window and he could see her laughing with her parent and Dave. Not once did she request for him. It was as if she had totally forgotten about him.Francis was around most of the time to comfort him. Apparently the whole school had to keep their distance so she won't get into another panic attack.It took two weeks before Amelia was finally released from the hospital. She was brought home in a wheel chair because she had broken her legs but the doctors assured that it would be healed soon.Andrew had to hide in other to avoid Amelia. Yeah it was tough but he had to do this; he had to do this so she will get better quickly but it seems it was all wishful thinking on his part.One night, after everyone had gone to bed, Andrew heard Amelia

The day dragged on slowly and by each passing second, Andrew could feel his nerve increasing rapidly.Soon he would be seeing his sister and he had no idea how she would react.He just hopes everything to be okay. He wanted his sister to be fine so he could freely fulfill his promise to her. Anyway, he shouldn't be worried because the doctor said she was okay.Soon the bell rang signifying lunch hour. He wasted no time as he exited the class. He still has to inform his friends about the good news.There were already sited around their usual spot charting. The only person missing was Erin and Andrew realized he hadn't seen her all morning.He shrugged off his thought and walked towards the table "hey guys" he greeted and took his his beside Quinn."Hey" they answered back and immediately went back to charting. It seems like Quinn was interrogating Francis and Kaitlin on the level of their relationship.Even Andrew was curious though cause they have been going out for some time now but
