Brothers&Mayhem

I carried on skating until i got to the place I had wanted to go to, the park. I weaved my way into the trees and found the big old oak tree from when i was younger. This oak tree held memories whenever i was mad or upset i would come here, vic showed me it one time when we were younger. I looked around to see the sun had begun to set it was only a matter of hours until darkness would engulf San Diego. All i could do was replay the argument in my head, I never argued with my brothers but something pushed me over the edge I was tired of everyone's shit. I bent down and tightened the laces of my shoes before beginning to climb the tree. As i reached the large steady branch i sat down and looked into the wood of the tree. The letters "M", "S" and "V" were carved into the delicate wood. The day before their first tour we came to this tree to hang out and we made a promise.

*FLASH BACK*
"come on get your ass up the tree" laughed mike grabbing my arm and pulling me up to him and my brother. All three of us sat on the branch squished like three peas in a pod. The quiet sound of the wind whistling rang in the air.
"I'm going to miss you guys" i said finally breaking the silence.
"We are not going forever soph" said vic swinging an arm around me.
"Sometimes you have to follow your dreams soph, this is our dream and we will never make it if we don't try" reasoned mike. I couldn't bring myself to imagine what it would be like without them, no more singing and messing around with guitars no more ice cream after school.
"But your going to make it big and just forget about staying home" I said fighting back tears.
" I promise you, family comes first when we are not at touring we will be spending it with you and the rest of the family. We are never going to forget about you for god sake you are our baby sister" Said mike.
We began to climb down the tree and make our way back home.
"I promise soph very time we are home i'm spending it with you." whispered vic as we finally reached home.

*END OF FLASHBACK*
"he promised" i whispered to myself fighting back the urge to break down and cry.
I felt a buzzing from underneath me and looked down to see my phone lighting up once again with a call. If it wasn't Vic calling me it was Mike.
"Don't want to talk to me eh" called a voice from below. I looked down to see vic standing their looking up at the tree. I said nothing and instead shuffled further along the branch . I heard a distant sigh followed by the sound of footsteps climbing the tree. Soon enough my brother was sat next to me staring at his hands, thinking of what to say clearly not wanting to make the situation worse.
" You know i never meant it like that soph" he finally said . I turned to face him as the tears welled up in my eyes. He pulled me into a hug and began to stroke my hair.
"You promised" was all i could choke out whilst being pressed against his chest.
"I know and i am keeping that promise, I never meant for you to react like that. Is anything up soph? i know what i said was wrong but you snapped pretty quickly. Said vic pulling back and looking me in the eyes.
"Not really" i mumbled looking down
"What's been going on?" He questioned.
"stuff" i replied. I hate being blunt but i don't want to make everything about me.
"You know you can tell me anything" He said.
" Where do i start, the panic attacks the name calling, being sad 24/7." i sighed.
"Is that why you bunked school" he asked
"yep i try to stay out of there as much as possible." I finally let the tears flow.
"I'm not okay vic... I'm not okay. I don't know what's wrong. I promised you I wouldn't but i did. I'm so sorry" I blurted out full on crying. He pulled me into another hug and began to rock me back and forth as he started to hum Hold on till May.
"It's okay to not be okay soph, I love you so much your my baby sister I don't want you to hurt yourself." He said his voice beginning to break in sadness.
We stayed like this for a while just hugging and taking things in. I guess things haven't been to good after all....
