Coming Soon [/IMG] SIX FEET UNDER SCREAMS ,but no one seems to hear a thing • • • • • • • • • • • • I turned the key and the dashboard on my car went dark as I pulled the key from the ignition. The car was my place, somewhere to just be myself. I leaned into the seat and sighed building the energy to get out of the car. It had been a long day, a day that I wanted to just leave behind. I needed to take my mind off of everything. Nothing really happened, I rode all of my horses, sat by the pastures, went over to a friends house, it was like any other day. Any other day that I just wanted to be done.
Once I go myself out of my car I walked up to the door to the two bedroom apartment that Kane and I called home now. I unlocked the door, walked in, and locked it once again. The first thing I did was make my way to my room and take a long shower. I threw on a pair of light blue sweatpants and a navy blue tank top. My straight blond hair was left wet to air dry.
I made my way to the kitchen and grabbed the box of Goldfish sitting on the counter. Looked like I had the place to myself for a little while. I laid down on the couch and turned on the TV and watched one of my favorite shows of all time, Still Standing. I don't know why but watching it made me laugh and just relax.
So there I sat, with a box of goldfish and a blanket sprawled out on the couch watching TV. The perfect end to a day that needed to be erased.

Why did life have to take such drastic turns? Everything had been perfect for Kane prior to this last year. He had had the perfect life which included the perfect family. However God had had other plans for the twenty-one year old. Ripping off his apron with a sigh, Kane punched out from his afternoon job at Gianna and Giovanni’s. Grabbing his jacket he proceeded through the tightly packed dining room which played host to numerous people too lazy to make their own dinner in his opinion. A tall woman sitting at the bar gave him a less than friendly glance as he passed and Kane was eager to return the favor with an equally dirty look. He hated people sometimes.
He pushed open the front door with so much effort that it slammed against the window behind it. Without a second glance he paced hurriedly to his truck and opened the driver’s door with equal force. He hated his job at the restaurant just about as much as he hated people. Waiting hand and foot on snobby rich people wasn’t his definition of dream job but he had to stick with it, the pay accompanied by the tips came out to be a hefty bit of cash by the end of the week and bills had to be paid after all. Turning on the car, he immediately cranked up the heat; once that sun went down the temperature dropped an easy twenty degrees here in Addison.
The short drive home seemed to take forever that evening. Kane gritted his teeth each and every time he was stopped by a red light. All he wanted was to get home and sit down for a bit. Looking down at the stereo, the digital clock read 10:30 pm. Kane rubbed his forehead as he felt a headache coming on. He hated staying at work later then his eight o’clock quit time. It always seemed like he was the one people called when they needed someone to work their shift; Kane always saw them all as pity offers from his “more fortunate” co-workers.
Finally he turned into the narrow parking spot behind the apartment complex. To his left sat his little sister Skye’s car, thank god. The last thing he needed right now was to figure out where her location was. Pulling himself from the car, Kane grabbed his belongings that he would need and locked the black Ford’s door. He strode across the dimly lit parking lot and through the front doorway. He grabbed the mail from his mail box before making the hike up to the third floor where he assumed Skye was already sleeping. He flipped through the half dozen envelopes in his hand as he walked. Bill, bill, bill, and yet another bill. He suddenly felt the headache growing more potent against his skull. He approached the brown door that read 104 and unlocked it. He quietly walked in and pulled the door closed behind him. The only light came from the TV across the large room. Kane tossed the stack of envelopes on the kitchen counter; unfortunately a bit louder than he meant to. He then began to search the cabinet above for asperin.At this point he didn’t care how much noise he made. Heck! He kinda hoped to make everyone else on the floor as miserable as he was at that point.

Coming Soon [/IMG] SIX FEET UNDER SCREAMS ,but no one seems to hear a thing • • • • • • • • • • • • My night seemed to consist of ten minutes of sleep on and off at a time and reruns of Still Standing, That 70's Show, Yes Dear, and whatever MTV had on at the time. Most things I had recorded but after a while I stuck with the end of a Jersey Shore marathon. It was sad that the couch and the same box of Goldfish got my attention since 5:30 tonight rather then a party or something.
The door unlocked, I could hear it, you could hear almost everything in that apartment. I ignored it because I assumed it was just Kane coming home from work or something. It was nice to have a brother I got along with for the majority of the time. Made both of our lives easier in the long run. Sure it didn't always seem like it, but I really appreciated all that he did for me. It couldn't be easy of fun having to keep tabs on someone like me. I'm everywhere, and lets face it... I'm trouble and I know it.
I pulled the blanket off of my bare arms and threw it on the floor. I hadn't realized how cold it really was so I picked up the blanket and wrapped it around my shoulders as I grabbed my box of Goldfish from the couch. Something was slammed onto the counter as I made my way around the corner to the kitchen. Kane had some home and he did not look too happy. "Hey sunshine." My words were sarcastic but my tone was the same as if I had just said 'hey whats up'.
I put the box of Goldfish down and slid them to the top of the counter. I reached up to the cabinet for a glass and left it on the counter as I went to the fridge for the half gallon of sweet tea that I was practically addicted to. After pouring myself a glass I put it back and took an apple before I came back to grab my glass. "Did you eat dinner? `Cause I'll make you something if you want."

Kane knew he had woken Skye. You could hear everything in that damn apartment. Sound carried like everything was happening right next to you. He heard footsteps in the living room but ignored them and continued rummaging through the cabinet. Moments later, the thin figure of his sister appeared in the small kitchen next to him. He shot her a quick smile before continuing his mission. She greeted him sarcastically as ever; she always seemed to know when he was in a bad mood. He laughed silently at that thought; he wasn’t making his lack of joy a secret or anything. Pulling the pill bottle from the dark confines he turned to face Skye, “Hey yourself,” he was sincere in his words and trying to fake a smile.
He felt sleep deprivation coming over him but he couldn’t give in. He still had things to do, first being to write checks for the bills that came last week. He attempted to open the pill container in his hand with no prevail. He looked up at Skye who had just offered to make him diner. He faked yet another smile, “No I’m fine, did you eat something? You do know it’s my job to make your diner right?” he laughed. Skye was surprisingly independent and he hadn’t discovered this until he took her in himself. He absolutely loved the fact that he could be out for a whole day and didn’t have to worry about making diner or doing laundry. However, her whereabouts always hovered in his mind. The last thing he needed was to get her out of trouble, again. Kane attempted to open the pill container yet again. He hated those darn safety caps. Looking up to Skye again he tossed the bottle in her direction. He smiled as if to say, “Can you open that, you know I have the best right arm in Addison but you also know I can never get those damn safety containers open!”
Almost mirroring Skye’s previous actions, Kane grabbed a glass from the cupboard and opened the fridge. “I better go grocery shopping tomorrow,” he said, searching the fridge for something to drink. He concluded in pulling out the sweet tea Skye had just poured for herself. It may have been Skye’s favorite beverage but he usually avoided drinking it; it was a bit strong for his liking. Closing the fridge, he filled the glass on the counter about half way. He returned the jug to its rightful place and pulled out a stool from beneath the bar like counter.

Coming Soon [/IMG] SIX FEET UNDER SCREAMS ,but no one seems to hear a thing • • • • • • • • • • • • I set the red piece of fruit down before adjusting the blanket I had draped over my shoulders. My eyes didn't leave my idiot brother trying to open a bottle of aspirin. He didn't seem patient enough to handle something child proof. It made me smirk and laugh under my breath while he tried.
I had to walk away or else I would have just grabbed the bottle and opened it. Maybe that would have been a better idea in the first place. "Did you eat dinner? `Cause I'll make you something if you want." I set my white knitted blanket on the back of one of the kitchen chairs before taking the few steps back to where I had been standing.
“No I’m fine, did you eat something? You do know it’s my job to make your diner right?”
I pointed to the half empty box of Goldfish I had previously set on the counter and look up at him. "Those were dinner. See I can find myself something, I'm seventeen, I can make dinner." Yeah so Goldfish might not have qualified in everyone's book, but it was great in mine. Besides, I was about to eat an apple, that should make up for something.
I grabbed my glass of iced tea and my apple and brought it to the table. Right after setting it down a bottle of pills was being tossed to me and without thinking I caught it. In a quick second I twisted off the cap to the child-proof bottle. "What would you do without me?" I mumbled. After taking the few steps to the counter I set the bottle down with the cap next to it.
“I better go grocery shopping tomorrow,”
I nodded in agreement before walking back to the table. "Yeah, there isn't exactly much of anything." I spoke before picking up my apple, stuffing it in my mouth and holing it there, grabbing my glass and blanket. "Going to go watch tv." It was hard to understand but the real hint was me walking into the living room, out of the kitchen.

Having to look after Skye really made Kane appreciate her more than ever. His life nowadays almost seemed like it should be a reality show. You know, one of those ones about young parents who can’t handle their new life with a child. Except the children in those shows were newborns; Kane had to deal with a full blown teenager. At least she wasn’t as misbehaved as he had been at seventeen. He felt as though he got off easy with a sister who was smart enough to know right from wrong. However, sometimes he underestimated her; she could find trouble if she wanted to.
Dinner had consisted of a box of Goldfish. Great guardianship. Kane smiled as he looked to the box that now occupied a small space on the counter. “Works for me,” he said with a chuckle, “and I know you’re seventeen but I’m twenty-one,” he paused, “which makes me the responsible adult.” He laughed at the word responsible and rolled his eyes. Responsible. It was a word he had heard from his parents so many times. Be responsible. The responsible thing to do is. If you were responsible we would let you go. It seemed like every time he used that word he felt his parent’s presence, telling him he wasn’t responsible enough to care for Skye.
He watched intently as Skye opened the pill bottle with ease. “Show off,” he muttered under his breath. Skye placed the bottle on the counter in front of him. He nodded to her in thanks. He dumped the contents onto the tile counter top and pushed two small, white, ovals away from the rest. He through the tablets in his mouth and downed the half glass of sugary tea. He stood up and put the dirty glass in the sink. Skye was on her way out of the room to watch TV. Being the annoying older brother he was, Kane used all the energy he had left to run into the living room. He passed Skye on his way in and approached the back of the only couch that occupied the space. He hurled his body over the back and sprawled himself across the entirety of the sofa. He shut his eyes as if he was sleeping and made sure every possible space on the couch was taken by his body. He smiled and tried not to laugh.

Coming Soon [/IMG] SIX FEET UNDER SCREAMS ,but no one seems to hear a thing • • • • • • • • • • • • As I was on my way into the family room Kane rushed by me and on my way out of his way I almost spilled my drink. I couldn't exactly yell at him through the apple in my mouth but when I did make it to the room with the TV there was Kane "asleep" on the couch. The whole couch. Of course.
I rolled my eyes as I walked further into the room. I dropped the blanket from my shoulders onto the floor beside the couch and set my glass down with the apple on the floor. I made my way to the end of the couch where his feet were and just sat down. "Aw bro wants to watch Jersey Shore with me!" I spoke sarcastically as I patted his leg. Then I continued to talk. "They are really an inspiration. You know, maybe I'll just head out and live like them tonight. Now the real question is... with the older guys? Or someone my own age this time? Decisions, decisions. Well guess either way I'm getting hammered." I got up off of the couch and started walking toward my room. "Don't worry, I'll find someone to drive me home!"
Sure he probably thought I was kidding, and this time I was. The reality of it was I did go to parties and bars, I did get smashed, and, yes, I did hook up with strangers. I never knew if Kane realized my social life contained mostly people above the age of nineteen most of the time. He didn't have to know everything. The only advantage he had on me was that I couldn't and wouldn't lie, then again I was great at altering the truth.
As of right now I was walking toward the door to my bedroom to "get ready" for tonight. The only thing I had a date with was whatever we had left in the freezer, but he didn't have to know that. This would just hopefully get him off of the couch.

Kane tried to contain his building laughter as he heard Skye standing beside the couch. He was such a jerk. He opened one eye just to see her face; it was priceless as always. He chuckled as she rolled her eyes. The signature Weston family eye roll. He quickly shut his eye again as she dropped the blanket on the carpeted floor. He heard footsteps again and felt weight upon his lower legs. He smiled, Skye never backed down without a fight. He listened as she babbled about those retards on Jersey Shore. He laughed softly; Kane secretly enjoyed watching that show. His eyebrows rose instinctively at the mention of older guys and getting hammered.
He felt the pressure lift from his legs as his sister stalked off towards her room to supposedly “get ready” for her late night excursion. He opened both eyes now to watch her. He knew she was kidding but he wasn’t taking any chances. Kane sprang from the couch and grabbed his sister’s arm before she reached her bedroom door. “Not on my watch,” he said laughing as he spun her around. He smiled mischievously and pulled her closer to him. He bent down and wrapped his arms around her upper thigh and pulled her up off the ground and flipped her over his shoulder. Laughing hysterically, Kane stomped around the room with his sister slung across his shoulder. He spun sporadically in circles which made he himself dizzy. Times like these reminded him of the old days. He remembered his father doing the same thing to Skye when she was younger. It seemed like the same sort of instance that would provoke his father to swing Skye wildly around the room.
Moments later Kane stopped running around like an idiot. He held her steadily over his shoulder in the middle of the room and spoke with the most serious voice he could conjure at that point, “Having second thoughts about becoming the newest Jersey Shore member? If not I could hold you up like this all night.” The smile upon his face was bigger than it had been in weeks. He loved these sentimental moments with Skye. She was right by what she said in the kitchen earlier, what would he do without her?
