This is actually my first time since I entered this site writing about an actual experience, all of my other posts is all about learning, and science and things like that, this one is about me and my brother Chase... At that time we were both 10...
It all started because I just signed up for an internship to go to LA to work on a school that was only for science, I thought I wasn't going to get in, but there was a chance I could.. Well I signed up, my brother was pretty upset because he didn't want me to leave, I mean he was my best friend, I was going to miss him too, but I had to leave. For the past weeks he wouldn't leave my side, he would follow me everywhere, literally. There was a time I was taking a shower and he stood outside the door waiting for me.. It was pretty annoying, and by then I didn't understand why he'd follow me around.. I tryed to ask him, but he denied everything..
Then in a few weeks, I was watching TV with him and my sister Tara, and my mom ran into the room holding a letter yelling " OLIVIA, OLIVIA, YOU GOT IN, YOU REALLY DID... AHHHH!!!! ", at first I didn't know what she was talking about, all of us stood up from the couch and went to see what my mom was holding, I yelled " AHHHH!!! " as soon as I saw the printing that said " Congratualtions Olivia, you have been accepted for a full scholarship for the cool of science and technology of Los Angeles. We'll see you in a couple of weeks." I was so exited, I couldn't believe my eyes, I actually got in!
" pinch me, I must be dreaming " I said, as my mom said " your not dreaming, this is real honey " I was so exited, but as soon as my mom finished the sentence, and put down the letter in the counter and headed down to the basement and my sister up to her room, I saw my brother back up a little, looking down. I could always see there was something wrong, but remember I was 10 I didn't exactly know what.. I aproshed to him and kneeled down, so I could see his face, " are you okay? " I said standing up again, I heard him whispering something, but I didn't hear him right.. I asked again, then I heard a small whimper.. " hey, hey, hey. What's going on, you know you can tell me anything " I tryed to calm him down, but it only made things worse.
I told him I was going to get mom.. " NO!! " he yelled, then he just fell apart, he just stood there crying, I was really worried, and I didn't know what to say, he never did cry, and if he did, it was because he fell off his bike or something.. And I didn't see him get hurt that day... I grabbed him by the hand and sat him next to me in the couch, " What's going on chase? You know-" then I was cut off when I spotted the letter... Then I finally realized what was going on... " oh... Is this because you don't want me to leave? " I asked almost whispering so no one would hear me... " yes " he looked down trying not to look at me in the eyes...
I really didn't know what to say, I guess he had every right to be crying, I was going to be gone for a year... I just grabbed him, and pulled him into a hug and hugged him until he stopped crying, he really didn't like affection... When we pulled apart he said " I know you have to leave, but... I really don't want you to.. Your the only friend I have. " I didn't realize that. if I left I would be leaving him all alone... He didn't get along with Tara, or my mom that well.. " hey I'll always be your best friend, even if we are millions of miles away ".... " plus, when I leave I'll learn a bunch of stuff, and I'll share them with you when I get back, it's only one year " he smiled a bit... Then I had an idea.. I had to make him laugh
" hey, I understand now why your crying, who are you going to talk to about science, math, and history to, when I am gone.. If you haven't noticed, we are the only ones who may have a brain of a sort in this family " this time he cracked up laughing.. " Enough, don't you see I am trying to be mad right now...Via "
We spended every second with each other until April came, and I had to leave for LA...
Well that is the end of this story, maybe I'll write the second part, the day I came back home... Tell me if you want me too ok.. :)
