Bad Situations

It seems that life is playing a very cruel and stressful joke on me. I was so excited for my brother to come up this weekend for Mountain Day at my college. It was supposed to be a fun carefree weekend until everything went crazy.

My brother has never had any official rules set in place for him or any discipline. My father and my stepmother decided to impose a curfew on him for 9:30 PM on week nights. This is understandable because they want him to do well in school and get his homework done and all that good scholarly stuff.

Well he's broke curfew twice already and this morning took his girlfriend to school which is 30 minutes in the opposite direction of his school and thus being late to school himself.

My step mother was fighting with my father about this telling him he needed to discipline my brother so she wanted him not to come see me this weekend. This meant I was to be punished as well and so was my father because he had planned to see my aunt and uncle this weekend but instead had to stay home and babysit my 18 year old brother at the house.

So what does my brother do after finding this out?

He leaves his school, goes to see his girlfriend, and then heads up here anyway. Meanwhile, my dad is seriously pissed off and put into a bad situation with my step mother.

I'm glad my brother is coming to see me but I'm not taking him to Atlanta or Netherworld or the Hard Rock Cafe like I had planned. This isn't fair to my dad when he does so much for us. He shouldn't be treated this way so disrespectfully. I could hear the sadness and disappointment in my dad when I spoke with him over the phone.

It really breaks my heart and I feel like my brother is not only letting the people around him down but himself down. He lost his job for not showing up and skipping out and has ISS when he goes back to school. He will lose his car and phone as well.

This all started happening as soon as he got that girlfriend who happens to be 15 by the way. As soon as they started dating everything went to hell. I can't believe that he threw away everything that was going good for him for a slutty 15 year old.

This really, really disappoints me.

Right now I'm waiting for him to get here. His phone died though and he has no idea where he's going. He'll make it to the town but I don't know if he'll be to find my college or my dorm on campus. I'm really worried.
