Back at home I ran straight up to my bedroom and slammed the door behind me, jumping onto my bed and burying my head deep into the pillow. A few hours later I heard the door of my room slowly being opened, I knew it was Matt but I didn�t sit up to welcome him in.
�Emma?� he asked, sitting down on my bed �are you asleep?� �NO!� came my muffled voice, from under the pillow Matt sighed quietly as he put an arm around me; I shrugged him off; not wanting his comfort. �Look� said Matt quietly, removing his arm off me �I�m sorry about today, but I didn�t want us to get involved in case�.in case something happened to you�.� He trailed off. I wiped my eyes and turned around on my bed to face him �But nothing happened to me did it?� I replied a few tears still running down my cheeks, Matt smiled weakly and wiped them away for me, I smiled back and hugged him; I always found it hard to stay mad at my brother for a long time. �I wonder what�s happened to him� I mumbled while fiddling with Matt�s T-shirt. �Wonder what�s happened to who?� he asked, looking confused. I sat up looking surprised at him. �How can you not remember?!� I shouted �The guy who got beaten up today!� �Oh him� replied Matt, not seeming the least bit interested �Well he deserved everything he got� �Why?� I asked, in between tears �its not like he did anything, he was just stood there� Matt saw how distressed I looked and took me in his arms, hugging me tight; I rested my head on his shoulders, hugging him back. �Well maybe he needed to pay back money for drugs and he didn�t have it, or maybe he got that guy who punched him sister pregnant� I pulled away from Matt and looked him straight in the eye. �You think every single person on this estate is bad don�t you!� I said, feeling slightly angry �No! It�s just most of them are� he replied. I rolled my eyes and got into my duvet cover. Matt smiled weakly before kissing me on the forehead and making his way to his bedroom. �Night Night� he smiled, turning off my light �Mmmmm� I replied, not really paying attention. I was too busy worrying about what had happened after that fight earlier on in the day. |
