Blood Is Thicker Than Water

[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria was in a black dress and black heels. She looked up hearing her brother. Her hair was curled, she had dark make up and red lipstick on.Alexandria smiles at him."Hey you okay? Here I got you an apple. I already ate mine."Alexandria said. She wanted to cheer her brother up a bit.


Jamie went to dress in a suit and clean up for church. He saw his wife not ready."what is wrong my dear?"He asks. He walked over and knelt next to her."you seem to be ready but not at the same time is all okay?"He asks her and kissed her cheek.

Thomas snapped out of his thoughts about the guilt of stealing his mothers eyebrow pencil, and the weird feeling in his stomach remained. He felt wrong for liking it. "Oh.. I just got stuff on my mind, that's all," he says to his sister and takes the apple from her. "Thanks." He says and bites into it, after a moments hesitation, trying hard to keep it down. Yesterday he had thrown his apple in the bin, today he couldn't, his sister was watching him.


Jen shrugged her shoulders and looked at her husband, "I just can't find my eyebrow pencil is all. I left it right here yesterday, maybe Alex took it and forgot to put it back. Oh well, let's go. No point worrying about it, right?" She says and smiles slightly, before walking out of the room and down the stairs. She greeted her children, "Wow, you both look marvellous," she says, grinning.


(sorry I was having my hair done )

Alexandria watched him. She smiled as he ate."I am glad you decided to eat. I found your apple in the trash. You can not lie to me Thomas you will eat."She said. Alexandria only cared for her brother.


Jamie nods and walks down with his wife. "You both look nice. Ahh good Your eating Tommy. Glad to see it."He says he opened the front door." Come in lets go all of you."He says

Thomas smiles unenthusiastically and swallows the first piece of his apple. He hated it, it made him feel sick, and he didn't want to throw up. He didn't want to go to church. He didn't want to even leave the house. All he wanted to do was sleep and feel sorry for himself and talk to Ethan, but he knew he couldn't do that. Jen walks out of the house, he couldn't look at his mother properly, his feelings of guilt still there. Why do I feel so guilty? It was only an eyebrow pencil, he thinks to himself. Thomas throws his half eaten apple in the bin before walking out to join them by the car. Half wasn't much, but it was better than nothing, and all his small stomach could handle right now. He sits in the back of the car and messes with his hair. Would Ethan be at church? He hoped so.

Alexandria watched her brother closely and started walking out to the car. She sat in the back as her father dorve to church. She hates church. They walked in and sat near the front. She sat and played with her nails. Her eye's flitted around church and landed on Nick. He smiled at her, she smiled and looked away as mass started. Alexandria kept her head foward and sung the hyms to please her father. Alexandria listened to the sermon with a bored look. She looked over at her brother with a small.

Thomas sat quietly and sang and did all the appropriate things that one would do in church. He hated it. Church. What was the point in worshipping a God who just made things worse for people? Who probably didn't exist? In his eyes, there was no God, or if there was one he wasn't doing a very good job at being omni-benevolent or whatever. When the sermon started properly, the speech for the day was about sexuality. About it being a sin to love someone who was the same sex as you. Thomas listened, or tried to, but he just kept feeling sick. How could people even believe something like that? He wanted to leave, he didn't want to listen to anyone tell him that what he was was wrong, not any more. He stood slowly, trying to ignore his father who he knew would not be happy with him leaving church. He grabbed his jacket and walked out of the church quietly, standing outside as he waited for it to be over. He leaned against the wall around the side of the church, and ran his hands through his hair.

Jamie glared after his son when he left l. Alexandria held her place as to not run after her brother. When mass was over she stood and walked down the aisle. Nick caught up to her."what is this the titanic I am the steerage boy trying to win your heart. "He asked as she ignored him.we can't talk here my father thinks I slept with you. So will talk later and I like the reference. "She said and walked away quickly. Alexandria followed her father and mother outside. Jamie grabbed his son. "You better have a good reason for leaving while the priest was talking."Jamie says

Thomas looked afraid, looking into his fathers eyes, and then looking away again. His own dark brown eyes were wide, and he struggled his arm free from his fathers grip. "I uh..." he didn't know what to say to his father, because he couldn't exactly say that he was gay. Not here. Not now. Not ever, come to think of it. Thomas shakes his head and gulps, "I uh, felt sick. Needed to get some air, didn't want to uh, throw up in church." He says, and bites his lip, hoping it was a reasonable excuse.


Jennifer was angry that her son had left church, and knew he had not been feeling sick. She knew it was about what the priest was talking about, but... She just wished that Jamie wouldn't make so much of a scene in public.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Jamie nods,"then you will go straight to your room and rest, no tv.just sleep and soup if you feel so ill." Jamie said."now go wait by the car."He said and turned to Alexandria. She was standing next to him. You as well."He said. Alexandria nods and walked to the car.


Alexandria sat in the car with her brother. He really was worrying her. Alexandria kept quite and just put an arm around him. Alexandria felt an odd need to protect him.

Thomas sighed and sat with his sister, and for a moment wished that he had just told the truth, before remembering how bad that would have been. He looked at her, and bit his lip, "sneak me my old gameboy or some shit? I'm going to go out of my mind pretending to be ill." He laughs a little, trying to make a joke out of things, but then goes quiet as Jennifer gets in the car too. Thomas knew that she suspected him of being gay, but a suspicion was something different to knowing. He tried to look as ill as he could, which didn't take much effort considering he was so pale because of the lack of food. He looked ill anyway.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria nods and smiles. Her father gets in the car and she fall's silent. They drive home and Jamie sends Thomas upstairs. "Alexandria you will not go see him."He said. Alexandria nods. "What ever you say."Alexandria said and went up to her room. She climbed out her window with her brother's game boy and climbed onto the roof. She tapped on his window. Alexandria sat outside waiting for his answer.

Thomas opens his window and takes his gameboy from her, smiling his thank you. "They're just going to keep me locked up all day, I'm almost offended. But less so than I was at that sermon." He laughs a little, "Anyway, you should go back inside. I don't want dad to catch us talking. He'll be angry at us both, me for lying and you for defying an order. Now go on, I'll like, text you or something, if I go mad." He grins, then closes his window, walking over to his bed with the gameboy. He sits down, kicking off his shoes and taking off his sweater.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria nods and slipped back down to her window m she snuck in and stopped seeing her mother. "Dont tell father please. I just went to the roof for fresh air."Alexandria said m she gave her mother pleading eye's. Alexandria didn't want to talk to her father.

Jennifer nods her head and smiles reassuringly, "Don't worry, I won't tell your dad." She says and sits down on Alex's bed, she looks at her daughter, such a beautiful girl, she was so proud of her daughter even if she didn't always show it. "Alex, have you seen my eyebrow pencil?" she asks, raising her eyebrows (ironic, right?).


Thomas sighs as he tries to turn the gameboy on, no charge, and they'd not seen the charger for god knows how many years. He puts the gameboy on the side of his dresser and turns around, looking at how much of a mess his bedroom was. He sighed, he did need something to do. He begins to tidy up his clothing, folding the clean ones up and putting them away, putting the others in a pile ready to put in the laundry bin for his mother to wash. He sorted the clutter out and put things away in drawers, soon, his room was tidier than it had been for weeks. He wanted to go outside, though, he didn't want to be cooped up in this tiny room.

Alexandria shook her head."no but you can have mine."She said" or I have a few tricks I can show you. "She said. Alexandria texted her brother and said she bring him charged batteries in a bit.Alexandria went to grab her make up and showed her mom some new tricks.Alexandria finished. "There what do you think makes you look 10 years younger."Alexandria said. She smiled at her mom as she put her stuff away. "Mom, can you talk to dad were bit in the navy and neither is he any more."He needs to lighten up. Alexandria said

"I'll talk to him, don't sorry, but as for looking ten years younger, are you trying to say that I usually look old?" She says completely seriously, before breaking into a grin. "Alright, I'll go talk to him now," she smiles before leaving the room. Maybe her eyebrow pencil had just fallen off the side or something. She'd probably find it eventually.


Thomas text Alex back, sat on his tidy bed. 'You best hurry with those batteries; I've gone that insane that I've cleaned my room already.' He puts his phone on the bed, until he gets a text. Picking it up, he sees it's from Ethan, and he smiles. He was inviting him to sneak out with him tonight. Thomas decided that he would do it, and he grinned.
