Chapter 137

"What exactly is happening here?" I asked with something of a frustrated groan as both people look to me quizzically. Scott is acting as nervous as I would have acted if something important was just about to go down in my life, but yet I cannot imagine what would be going down today. 

I cannot imagine anything that is so special about today we are just three bored kids going out to fulfill a stupid mission, which entails us spending half the money on our credit cards and leaving our aunt wondering at how much we can actually spend in one day.

"What exactly is supposed to be going on today?" I ask, again but yet Oakley just gives me the sort of look that tells me i would find out soon enough.

All this is frustrating, I don't think I can cope with the sort of mental suspense that is happening here, this sort of thing isn't for me. If they want me to know something why not just tell me. More importantly, if Scott wants me to know something why not just tell me outrightly.

It makes me feel something of embarrassment and pain at the fact that Oakley might actually know my brother better than I do. I know that they spend some time together, but had they actually spent that much time together where he would actually tell the little secrets of his life, little secrets that he seems to have kept hidden from me all these years.

Why would he be open to her while he is never open to me. I realise now that I have not actually asked my brother anything about his life up to last night. I have not asked my brother about anything he might be going through, or what he might be facing, or what is going on in his life. 

The only thing that seemed to occupy my thought was my own life, and the person who was currently in it. Whatever was going on in Scotts life, I didn't care.

I almost feel like crying at this point. I decide not to, the light nature of today would be ruined, and I walk up to the both of them, looping my arms with theirs.

"I hope to find out enough today" I say looking at Scott with what I hope is an emotion that tells him as from now I'l begin caring. I'll begin caring about how he feels, and what is going on in his life. I'll begin caring about his emotions and the challenges as much as I care about my own, as from this moment we don't stand apart anymore, we stand together, together forever, just like we should always have stood.

"I'm expecting much of this little visit today" I say hoping my voice does not leak the hurt I was feeling just a moment ago. Oakley give me something of a confident grin and Scott just looks away.

I almost can't wait for us to get there, but yet it seems the more we approach, the more my stomach drops in anticipation.
