It's three in the morning and damn Ellie is not yet home. I am wide awake walking back and forth so worried about her.

Tres where are you?

I keep on calling both of their numbers and no one is answering me. Where are they? Fuck!

I call Tres again and still unattended. I throw away my phone in frustration.

I try to calm myself and make some coffee. I sit in the sofa and watch random movies just trying to divert my attention to something else. I need to trust my brother and believe that he will take her home safely. I am starting to enjoy the movie when my phone rang. I hurriedly pick it up in the floor and answer it.

"Where are you?" I asked and Tres is a bit hesitant to talk in the other line. He keeps on taking deep breaths and is having a hard time composing the right words to say. I felt a little nervous. I know him too well. I know that when he acting like that he is in trouble.

"What happened? Where is she? Are you in trouble? Answer me!" I shouted at him

"I'm sorry" he apologized sounding so problematic. Damn!!

"Tell me what the fuck happened. Fuck Tres! I am telling you she better be okay or else I don't know what I can do to you!" My anger is eating me. I massage my temple and walk around trying to calm myself.

"She is fine. No scratch or anything. It's just that......." he pause for a while and it makes my blood boil. My grip in my phone tightens.

"What?" I asked feeling impatient. He is taking so long.

"She's drunk. She's so wasted." he said and I mess my hair up in frustration.

She drank liquors? What is she thinking? Drunk? Really Heaven Amelie?

"Damn, why did you let her taste alcohol? Can you drive?" I asked. Tres is not a heavy drinker too and I am worried he would crash his car into something.

"I didn't drink too much. I am already on my way to your house. Few more minutes. Damn!!! Hey! Brother!! HE THROW UP ON MY NEW CAR. AHH" he is being hysterical over his brand-new car.

"Calm down. I'll give you money for the cleaning and maintenance. DRIVE SAFELY YOU MORON!"" I shouted at him again. This kid and his childishness.

"Eww it smells awful. Disgusting!" he shouted and he cut the call.

Damn Ellie what are you thinking!

I prepare some lukewarm water so I can clean her before going to bed. I also prepare her favorite sleeping dress which is my shirt. I waited for them in the garage. Few more minutes and I finally see a head light going towards my house.

The gate automatically open revealing Tres' car. I bought him that few days ago, his payment for looking for my Ellie.

Tres’ car topped right in front of me. He gets out of his car and come close to me. Before I can say anything, I was taken aback when he suddenly attacks me. He punched me so hard in the face. I almost fall because of the impact.

Son of a bitch! He's stronger now than the last time I got a punch from him.

"Fuck! What's that for Dumbass!" I immediately hold my jaw and I touched a warm liquid near my lips. My lips are bleeding. Shit!

"Fuck you too brother. She got drunk because of you. Damn you! How dare you cheat on her with your disgusting whore of a secretary!" he shouted at me. I keep on massaging my jaw. I carefully crack my neck.

Cheated? Damn this guy!

"What are you talking about? You're getting into my nerves Tres" I shouted back.

"She saw you kissing your secretary outside the event place. She is crying so hard. You hurt her stupid. I didn't know you lower your standards. Fuck what get into your head to hurt her just like that." he is frustratingly running his fingers through his hair. He is looking at me with his blazing eyes. He looks so mad.

Shit! Ellie saw that? Fuck!

"I will tell you everything when you sober up. Now I need to see her." I am still gaining death glares from him.

"It better be a valid reason." he whispered. He trusts me I know that.

Tres is very close to me because we are partners in crime when we were little kids. We got scolded together and got punishments for breaking every single rules together. We both have the same great mind, it's just that it looks like maturity is afraid to approach him yet.

He opened the door to his shot gun seat. I saw Ellie looking highly inebriated. She is still on her dress covered in Tres’s coat. The lower part of her dress is covered with her puke. Her hair is now covering her face. I grabbed her in the arm and carry her.

"Hmmmm" she is trying to go away from my embrace. She's pushing me away but she's too weak.

"Behave young woman. Who told you that you are allowed to drink liquors?" I scolded her as I tighten my hold.

"Tres, you better stay here and go home tomorrow. You can use the quest room in the first floor. I will clean her and tuck her in bed." I walked inside the house and bring her to our bathroom. She reeked because of her puke mixed with the strong smell of alcohol.
