Darn Stupid Brother You Are by Mairee

Chapter 2

(Angel's POV) *Flashback*

"Don't go there. My mum said it's out of bounds." I told a fifteen-year-old Hendrix who was bent on visiting my mom's basement.

He and his father had just moved into my mum's apartment and were settling in.

My mom, Dennis, had noticed how much he stared at the basement and had warned him not to go there.

I knew better than to disobey my mum's command and I wanted him not to make the mistake too but he was determined to see what was in it.

According to him, basements denote mystery and he was one that solves mysteries. He probably thought it was one of his animations.

I reminded him that this was reality and not a cartoon where he was the superhero and my mum was the villain.

I knew when my mum locked off the basement; it was after she decided to become a new person and start her life afresh.

She had locked up everything that reminded her of her old self. Her love for gambling, smoking, and street fights.

When she had me, she realised she could no longer live that life as it could influence me negatively and I may end up like her.

She stopped as promised and decided to settle down with a widower, Traviv, who was Hendrix's dad.

"She doesn't have to know," Hendrix whispered to me, showing me a bunch of keys that were glowing in the dark.

I recognized them as the basement keys.

"Fine. Suit yourself." I told him, raising my hands in surrender.

With that, he started to climb down the stairs. I contemplated telling my mum but decided to wait back and hear the juicy stories of what was down there. After what seemed like half an hour, I was growing impatient. I was quite tempted to go down myself and see what was taking his time.

It was then I heard a scream echoing from the basement. "Mum, mum!" I shouted. The piercing scream from the basement showed that he was in danger. My mum and stepdad came rushing down the basement to rescue Hendrix.
