Remember Me For Centuries

I’ve had a busy few weeks. Between school, homework and band practice, which is going pretty well by the way. Thalia talked to one of the music teachers, Mr Chiron, and he’s letting us use his class room. All we need now is an actual song, I’ve hardly had time to myself, not to mention my baby brother. I’ve been neglecting him… and our Disney Days (It’s part of his routine. On a Sunday Gabe and his friends go out to a bar so Tyson and I usually watch our favourite Disney Movies).
I decided that this Sunday, I was going to turn off my phone and sit and watch movies with Tyson all day, and I did.

I woke up at about 10:30am and got my breakfast. Mom had taken Tyson out for a walk so, I got everything ready. Popcorn, blue candy and ‘The Little Mermaid’, everything a boy needs.

Tyson and Mom walked in about 5 minutes later. He was so happy. I love seeing his face light up like that. He ran to the sofa and jumped on it, pulling a blanket of the back and wrapping it round him. This kid doesn’t waste time.

I turned back round to face my mom, expecting to see a warm, loving, friendly smile on her face but instead, she was scowling. If looks could kill… I’d be fatally wounded.

She beckoned me toward the kitchen with her head. Oh, crap. What have I done now? I walked into the kitchen. My mom was stood with her arms crossed.

“What are you doing?” She asked

“Uh… standing?”

“Don’t get smart with me, Percy” She snapped “You know you can’t just pick and choose when you want to notice him!”

“Who?” I asked completely confused

“Tyson!” My mom whisper yelled “You haven’t so much as looked at him for weeks Percy! I was just getting him used to his new routine because you decided that your friends were more important!”

“Hold up a second… All I wanted to do was spend a day with my little brother. I didn't think it was cause this much drama. Jeez.” I kind of shout.

“That’s exactly It Percy you don’t think!” She almost screamed. I must of had a shocked look on my face because her eyes softened. “I’m sorry, It’s just… It doesn't matter, Go. Have you Disney day.”

“Mom… wait…”

She ignored me as she walked out of the kitchen and into her room. I was about to go after her when Tyson called.

“Percy?!”

“Coming!” I called back.

—————————————————————————————————————

We got through ‘The Little Mermaid’ but Tyson seemed sad. All through the movie he had this sad look, even when I was singing ‘Under the Sea’. He didn't even join in!

When the movie finished we sat in and awkward silence. I moved closer to him and put my arm over the back of the sofa.

“Whats up?” I asked leaning a bit towards him.

“Nothing” He lied

“You sure about that?” I asked with a smirk on my face

“Yes”

“Ok fine…” I sigh dramatically “I didn't want to have to do this but…”

I quickly grabbed him by the ankles and tickled his feet. He was screaming with laughter. I started laughing too. I think this caught my moms attention because when I looked up she was stood in the doorway shaking her head slightly as she laughed. She gave me a small smile and walked in to the kitchen… probably to make lunch. I dropped Tyson’s feet and flopped back on the sofa trying to catch my breath. Tyson copied me. I looked at him.

“So, what was upsetting you?” I asked. He looked down for a moment before turing to me with tears in his eyes.

“Did Tyson get you in trouble with Mommy?” I looked at him sadly and shook my head

“No… Ty, It’s just… Mommy’s stressed out right now. I wasn’t thinking and, she snapped. It’s fine.”

“I’m sorry” He said tears streaming down his face “I don’t want to make Mommy stressed. I don’t want to make Mommy snap at you”

“Tyson. It isn’t you” I tell him sternly while wiping away his tears. “Ok?”

“Ok” He replied. I don’t think he if he meant it though. We sat in silence until…

Notes

I'm sorry It's taking so long to update. We're just really busy right now but we'll try our hardest. So this is just a short one and the next few chapters are basically filled with character development. Just watch out for around chapter 10 and 11... We apologise in advance.
