the day you looked my way

Chapter 6; changed

“ We're both brunette fools and…..” Diana stop on her tracks as she felt something under her feet, she bent over raised the mat on the floor and there was the key “ wow, maybe I am the smart one after all”

She smirked and inserted the key and the door opened

“ Oh come on that was just pure luck and besides who keeps a key under a foot mat these days and ohhhhh my goodness” Daniel said looking gaged at the site before him “ how freaking rich is this so called stepdad, this place is f*****g amazing”

“ Mhh could have better” Diana said with her facial expression

“ Yh right as if you're not secretly impressed,” he was right she was secretly impressed “ oh my God check it out a boxing ring, hey” call out to Diana who was still checking out the place “ wanna have a quick match”

“ Sure” she got in the ring with him and the both matched

Diana POV

My brother and I started wrestling and we eventually lost track of time he had beaten me five times and I have beaten him like up to eleven times or so I lost count at ten but he is still not willing to give up already

“ Aren't you going to take a break for a minute”

“ No, not until we're even.” He replied looking more determined. I got distracted by a little light that shown at the window and he to the opportunity and push at the gut

“ Ouwww, what the f**k man”

“ Ha ha that's a six” he said with a proud expression

“ Bro that really hurts”

“ Ohh sorry I got excited seeing you open like that. didn't mean to anyway. Does it hurt that bad “

“ No it's ok I'm fine”

“ What distracted like I've never seen you open like that”

“ I saw light shining from the window there”

I explained holding my gut in pain

“ Light ?” he went ahead to draw the curtain and it dawned on us that we wrestled till morning “ oh look at that it's morning already” my brother said smiling at me , I knew exactly what he was thinking while I smiled back but deep down I was feeling guilty, every f*****g time my brother regets sleep and try to stay awake because of me the same time guilty washes over me like a cold shower cause I would always feel guilty, not that I would but I am he always sacrifices for me and I

“ hey” Danny's voice cracked through my thoughts

“ Yes” i answered looking at him already putting on his jacket back

“ Aren't you coming” he said pointing towards the door “ mom might start looking for us anytime soon

“ Oh, .. yh go ahead I will be right there”

“ You okay” he said ,noticing something might be bugging me like he always does “ yh I'm fine, just not ready to go in yet. I'm just gonna run to treadmill for a while to clear some thoughts clouding my head” I said picking my words one by one

“ If anything is wrong you I'm here right” he said with a worried expression on his face

“ HEY! I know. Don't worry about me, I'm fine. So you can stop looking at me I'm a lot fool” I said trying to reassure him not to worry about me

“ Okay , I'm heading in then” he waved and left

“ Hey good morning son how was your night” mom said

“ It was fine mom thank you” danny replied

“ Where are you coming from this 👂 morning” she said curious

“ Oh, just a quick morning exercise. Are you making breakfast?”

“ Yh. Go shower and come eat I have something I want to tell you kids “

“ Sure mom” danny said as he exited the living room

“ And get your sister too” his yelled after

“ Sure mommmm” he said going into his room “I'm sure something was bugging her, why did she lie It was clearly written all over her face” Danny thought as he went into the shower

“Kidddsssss come down breakfast is ready” mom yelled

I came back from the gym house after a few hours on the treadmill which helped me clear my head a little so I came in, took a shower and decided to lay down and unpack while listening to an audio book.

I was unpacking till I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned to see Stella smiling at me with a plate of French toast “ what” I asked with a cold clear

“ Mom made your favorite breakfast, French toast with bacon,” she said, showing me the plate of food which only made me want to puke on it. French toast and bacon was my favorite breakfast ten years ago but now it's my least favorite and the scent twists my stomach making me want to puke. Of course mom wouldn't know that she was never the attentive type. My stomach started twisting too hard from the scent so angrily slapped the plate of food out of her hand causing it to hit the wall and shatter all over the floor and startled Stella “ get out” I yelled .

“ Wh what”

“ I said get out”

Daniel hearing the noise ran over from his room “ oh my goodness what the f**k happened hear,” he looked up and saw Stella crying and me already fuming and at the same time trying to hold this vomit in

“ Stella are you okay “ Danny asked

“ I was only bringing her breakfast , she hadn't eaten since but then she slapped it out of my hand and told me to leave . Did I do something wrong” she said already in tears, what a nuisance

Unable to hold it in any more I ran to the bathroom and shot the door head facing down the toilet

“ It's ok Stella you didn't do anything wrong at all” danny said pulling her in for a hug “ there there”

“ What going on, oh gosh what happened her “ I heard mom asked surprised at the mess and Stella who was crying like a baby

“ It's nothing mom just take Stella and go down stairs this place is filled with broken glass plates which might hurt somebody” danny said handing Stella over to mom

“ I'll get the broom” mom said leading Stella away

Knock knock

Someone knocked at the bathroom door but I knew it was Danny

“ Go away Danny I busy “ I said coldly

“ Busy with throwing up or cursing at yourself “ Danny said, of course he knew how much I despised the scent of French toast and bacon . I stood up and opened the door and saw him packing up the broken plate pieces

“ Just leave it I would do it later “ I said going to my bed to lay down

“ You know, you could have just told her no instead of making her cry” Danny said still picking up the pieces

“ I didn't make her cry I just slapped a f*****g plate out of her hand which she was shoving at my face. Why I'm I even f*****g explaining myself to you.”

“ You know you've been like this ever since that incident ten years ago and I get why but involving Stella in it is not cool and I least expected that from you” Danny said in a disappointed tone but I couldn't careless

“ Just shut the f**k up and leave”
