Broken Dead Boy

“Pchooo!”
“Simon, shut up!” Rochelle shrieked. “I’m trying to concentrate!!!”
Simon pouted, dropping his toy cars and walking over to his older sister. “You’re in a bad mood, Rochelle,” he concluded, his face drawn with concentration. “Why?”
Rochelle rolled her eyes, her body tensing with anger. “I’m trying to do something and you’re ruining my concentration with you stupid toy cars! Now be quieter or I’ll throw them out!”
Simon looked down guiltily. “Sorry…” he turned and began to play without making sound effects.
Rochelle took a deep breath to calm herself so she could continue working. She began typing furiously on the keyboard, sending various emails and ordering express shipping on random items on the internet. She was so close to finishing…
“What’s that?” Simon popped up behind her.
Rochelle jumped up, screaming. Simon pulled back. “Oopsie…”
Rochelle quickly minimized the links on her computer and stood up. “Simon! How many times have I told you not to watch me when I’m working!?!?!” she shrieked.
Simon looked down, tears pooling in his golden eyes. “…A lot…” he sniffled.
Rochelle sighed, her anger diminishing. She took a deep breath. “I’m sorry for yelling, Simon,” she pulled the younger boy into a hug. “But you need to listen, okay?”
Simon nodded dutifully, wiping his tears.
Rochelle smiled. “Good. Now go ask Tobias to get you a snack and turn on a movie. I’ll be downstairs soon.”
Simon jumped up excitedly. “Okay!” he barreled out of the room. “TOBIAAAAAAAS!!!” he squealed as he careened down the halls. “WE’RE GONNA WATCH A MOOOOOOOOVIEEEEEEEE!!!”
Rochelle chuckled and turned back to her computer.

“Rochelle? Sweetie, we’re home!” her mother called as she walked in the door.
Rochelle stood up and quickly shut off the movie. “Hey Mom!”
Simon pouted. “Aw, but I wanted to find out what happened!” he complained.
Rochelle glared at him. “We’ll finish next time okay?” she didn’t wait for a response and darted to the hallway.
“Rochelle, did you have fun? I’m sorry we ruined your plans,” her mother reached out and pulled her into a hug.
Rochelle squirmed and snaked out of her mother’s embrace, grabbing her purse. “Tobias, let’s go!” she turned to her flustered mother. “Sorry Mom, gotta go, bye!” she darted out the door, followed by Tobias.
Her mother frowned and shrugged. “Simon?” she wandered into the living room and put her purse on the couch. “Did you have fun sweetie?”
Simon nodded, making two of his toy cars crash together. “Mhm. Tobias turned on a movie.”
She smiled. “Alright. I’m going to go start dinner.”

Notes
