Brother Pt. 2
March 12th, 2020.
As another day drew to a close. I felt frustrated. Both mom and dad forgot to come to my quarterly awarding ceremony at school earlier. I got an award for getting straight A's in the semester.

The school bus stopped right in front of our porch. Adellyn was sitting on the swing she was playing with Quinn, our cousin. I called out for Adellyn and she waved hi. Quinn did the same. I smiled back and made my way to the house. I enetered the house, took off my shoes and placed my certificate on dad's desk. I then went upstairs. Mom was there sorting out the laundry. She looked haggard, it was obvious that she lacked sleep. "Hey mom.", I greeted. She did not seem to motice my presence. I did not mind and made my way to my room. I opened the door and I was surprised to see Andrew on my bed, sitting upright. I closed the door and went to mom.
"Mom, why is he in my bedroom?", I asked in a stern voice.

Mom explained.
"Your aunt Riley and her son Pete are staying over for awhile. Since our guest room is used for the laundry. They'll be staying in Andrew's room and you'll be sharing with Adellyn. Is that okay?", she said.
I got angry. But then I had to adjust. We ate dinner, dad came at around 9. Adellyn was already asleep. I could not sleep beacsue she was wobbling around. Taking my blanket and my pillow. It was at around 11 in the evening when I decided to get back to my room and sleep...
