Brotherhood Battle

Kathy biggest dream of all has been vanished. She thinks there is no hope left. Of all her problems this one is what affects her the most every single day. Kathy’s oldest brother, Fernando is her biggest problem. Fernando has defeated her more than a thousand times and that’s for sure. There have been a lot of situations into this situation. The deal is that they fight everyday and now that Kathy is 17, she thinks there is nothing left to do than to keep on fighting. Kathy has always wanted to stop fighting with Fernando because he is her oldest brother. He is supposed to take care of her little sister, support her and show her love. But apparently Fernando doesn’t want to be kind to her. Kathy loves him with all her heart even though she says she hates him. Kathy wants to fix this problem before they both get older and stop talking to each other and just take separate ways forever and never get in touch again. That’s her biggest fear. There are a lot of situations to talk about. There have been too many fights that every single one is the worst.

Kathy and Fernando grew together. They don’t have any cousins of their same age to share moments with, so that’s even worse for Kathy because she wants to share moments with Fernando. When they were little kids they used to have those brother and sister fights. And they used to fight a lot. Then they would fight less and Kathy can remember that so clear. Everything was too good to be true. All fights started all over again. Is not that they stopped fighting for a period of time is just that they fought less. About three years ago, Kathy and Fernando have been fighting in the worst way. When Kathy brings back memories from those fights she gets scare.

 One year ago Kathy and Fernando were fighting over the computer. Kathy has her own laptop and Fernando doesn’t. Their mother, Sabrina, was using the other computer, so there was always someone left without a computer. Fernando was using Kathy’s computer and he was not doing anything productive on it. Kathy had to use her computer for an important homework assignment and she told Fernando to give the computer to her. Fernando refused to it. Kathy was like “you have to give it to me, it’s mine”. Fernando answered “just give ten more minutes”. So the ten minutes hit the alarm. Fernando kept on refusing to give the computer. This is when the real fight began. Kathy pushed him twice, but Fernando is four years older and goes to the gym, so there was no damage on him at all. Kathy got furious. First of all because her mother wouldn’t do anything about it and second of all because she knew she was going to get defeated again. Kathy hit Fernando in the arm and also kicked him on the leg. Fernando got really mad and pushed Kathy against the wall and hit her too. They were hitting each other back and forth until someone got really hurt. Guess who was. Kathy of course.  She was crying and yelling so loud. Her limit had reached the top. Fernando as always didn’t get hurt like she was. She went upstairs to her room and shot the door. She was still crying and didn’t know what to do about that. So Kathy cried until night came. She finally got out of her room and realized that she had a big bruce on her leg and another on her arm. She was so pissed off.

There have been other intensive fights like that one. And also there are more fights to come. At this point Kathy has surrender. She has tried everything possible to stop fighting with Fernando and had come with the conclusion that is all Fernando’s fault. He has never tried to stop fighting with her. He doesn’t care at all. That’s sad. Fernando is her only sibling and the only she will ever want. She thanks God everyday for the friends she has. Kathy considers her best friends more than that, more like her siblings.  The only difference is that they all live in different homes. But they are exactly what she would like Fernando to be. Kathy thinks that without her “siblings” she would be lost and somehow dead. They give her the strength to keep going on and keep on trying to fix things with Fernando. Kathy has told Fernando a lot of things and also her mother has talked to Fernando about that. Fernando won’t listen. Sabrina tells Kathy to ignore her brother whenever he is about to explode; that all she needs to do is walk away instead of fighting too because that’s when everything gets ugly. Fernando and Kathy will always love each other secretly. Besides all fights they love each other and right now that’s all that matters.
