All the lies

Shortly after living there my aunt gave my cousin and I chores. Her house was a mess, so I knew damn well this boy know nothing about chores or even taking care of him self. He couldn't even get up for school himself.

It's was fine, whatever, you want to get your house clean and insert important values. I can take what ever you got for me.

That's exactly what I did because who did there chores, not my cousin. And yet he still got his allowance at the end of the week. It pissed me off how he acted.

One day I had enough, he was suppose to take out the trash, and had the nerve to ask me to do it after he had laid on his ass all day. So I told him I'll get it ready for you but I'm not taking it out. So I did just that and went to my room. The lazy piece had the nerve to set it right in front of my door. Enough was enough, instead of just placing it out the back door he puts it front of my door! So I did the same and the trash war began, and I did not lose...

He found it funny as I did not. So my attitude became worse and I tolerated less. So the tension grew between us. But in my darkness I had another cousin, dan. Dan was Toms older bother, and he wasn't like the other. He spoke to me as if I were actual person. He was always the one to make me see reason. It was nice to have some one to speak to and he would let me set in his truck, and listen to music when I had enough in that house.

More days past...

I had been there a month already and school was school I stopped causing so much trouble, cause of Dan. He really help me balance myself and ease some of my stress. Instead I'd just make up reasons and skip classes. It was such a large school no one even realize. To me it seem better then causing trouble and dealing with my aunt any more then I had to.

My mother had final got to call me and she was doing well so that was a relief, but not the same as being with her.

As for home, things started to settle a bit. It seemed to some of the family I lived with I was just a person. I even notice Tom trying to understand be a bit more. I still kept my distance. My aunt kept hers from me as well.

It's wasn't till one night that I realized the house hold wasn't what it seemed. My aunt and uncle were out of the house one night. So I happened to walk in the kitchen there was Tom, his friend and Dan. Tom says "you want one?"

I cautiously reply "Want what?"

As I'm handed a drink...

"What's is this?" I question.

All at once they say "A party!!"

I'm dumbfounded...

Who are these people, I had not seen this side of them. It's was actually quite refreshing to see them like this, relaxed, happy...

Dan announced he had a friend that was coming over and they were going to play cards.

So they taught me a card game called Euchre. It's was a different game then I had ever played before but it was fun. So we drank and played cards all night and it was the first night I actually relax. All the while my aunt had no clue what lies were laying under her roof. They weren't the people she thought.
