Free Write: He's Not Superman, clearly

I was watching my end of the year movie marathon. The first three movies were supposed to be the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It was difficult getting through the first one because Dexter was restless and Mommas kept interrupting but I eventually finished it. The night was going pretty good. I was enjoying my movies, and my Dad said a nice thing about my bro and I.


I got this text. It was from my bro's girlfriend asking if I was awake. My brother was drunk. Long story short I had to take care of him. That's not what ruined my night. The friend that brought my brother wasn't sober either. He even tripped when he was leaving and admitted to still being " a little tipsy".

See the problem is that I use to look up to my brother. If a class prompt asked "who do you look up to" I would write about him. Today he did something so careless. He let someone who was NOT sober drive around. Oh did I forget to mention that it's been foggy? I just keep thinking that they could have crashed. They could have killed someone. They could have died. They could have killed someone. That is just replayed over and over in my brain.

I am being selfish and hypocritical and stupid but I can't get over it. I've been in the car with someone who has had a few drinks but I'm the sober chick in the passenger seat watching the road, keeping them up, telling them to pull over. There was nobody in that car doing that. Like I said, hypocritical.

Whatever. It's time for me to clean the ground.
