Josie and I both enter the living room again. She sits beside Lee and I walk towards the sofa where Raven sat only to find Dominic in my place.

'That's where I sit Domi-dick,' I spat.

'Well I don't see the words 'Clit' written on it,' he sniggers. I grit my teeth and sit on the empty sofa at the corner of the room. 'As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted by my little cuz' He continues, looking towards Raven 'Did I tell you the story of how Claude over there tripped over his shoelaces and broke his nose?'

'Ooh, I love that one!!' Josie adds with glee.

Oh no. Not that story.

'Yeah, actually I already told her that story!!' I lie cutting him off 'So you don't have to repeat it or else it will sound boring!'

'No you never!' Raven furrows her brows at me and then looks at Dominic with a beaming glow from her face 'Tell me!!'

'Okay, so one normal day 13 year old Claude is walking down the street,' Dominic begins dramatically. I sigh. 'He's all like 'I'm not gonna tie my laces coz laces are dumb and I'm Claude and listen to my sqeaky puberty voice,' Dominic does a high pitched and really annoying squeaky voice that was supposed to be an impression of a 13 year old me.

Raven, Josie, Lee and even Virgil (who was dusting a bookcase in the living room) laughed. Josie laughed the most even if she's heard this story before 'Oh sweet lord it's even funnier the sixteenth time!'

'That does not sound like me!!' I complain.

'Oh my gosh, it totally sounds like you!!' Raven laughed, holding back tears of utter joy.

'Anyway,' Dominic continued 'There he is, still walking down the street and a younger but still handsome me walking right next to him. And then suddenly, out of nowhere, he tags me 'Tag, you're it and I'm Claude with my crazy fucking puberty voice' And he makes a run for it but 10 seconds into running he trips and falls on his fucking face!!'

Everyone starts to laugh again but I can't help going red and crossing my arms in anger.

'No, but that isn't even the best part!!' He carries on humiliating me 'Sure, I'm a very caring and sensitive person. So I go over and help him up. But the little prick just wouldn't give up so I shit you not, he fucking tags me again and makes another run for it. But this time he doesn't fall over, no. This time, he fucking gets hit by a bike that lands on his fucking face!! 'Oh look at me, I'm puberty Claude and I'm not crying for my mother. I'm crying for medical assistance!!' He finishes off and everyone is roaring with laughter.

'Oh my god that sounds terrible,' Raven covered her mouth.

'Really?' I blush. At least someone here has a bit of empathy for me.

'But you know what?' She bats her eyes at me and I blush even more.

'What?' I say gazing into her eyes.

Her angelic smile turns to devilish smirk as she adds 'It sounded funny, too, you fucking loser!!' She starts to laugh making everyone else start to laugh even more.

Right now, I was burning with anger. Anger that couldn't be controlled. 'Excuse me,' I said bitterly getting up from my seat and stomping out of the room.

I was walking back and forth in the hallway, trying to calm myself, even muttering to myself not to burst into flames.

And as if to make it even worse, Dominic comes walking towards me.

'Hey, cuz. You okay?' He asks but I keep strolling back and forth, my fists clenched.

'Leave. Me. Alone.' I mutter through gritted teeth and carry on walking, occasionally breathing in an out.

'Sorry about telling everyone the shoelace story. Again. But you know how funny that is, right?' He says with a smile. As if he could cheer me up now.

'I said to leave me alone.' I start to walk away, my fists clenched so tight they could rip open at any moment.

'Hey, don't be like that. I hate when we fight,' he has the nerve to start following me. 'Okay, I'm really really sorry that I made fun of you again. I forgot a little kid like you was still a bit too sensitive.'

'I'M NOT A LITTLE KID!' I turn around and shout at him, my eyes going solid black and flames started to surround us. My flames.

'I never said you were! Oh wait...' He remembered and started to laugh. How dare he laugh 'Hey, I was only trying to make Raven smile. And from the looks of how she laughed today, I guess she hasn't smiled in a long time.'

'So what?' I spat 'You don't have to be concerned about her. She's MINE!!' And with that I punch him across the face. Then I realized what I had done, my eyes go back to normal. 'Dominic! I'm sor-'

To late.

His eyes had darkened as he regained his balance and grinned 'So you want to fight, kid?' He cracks his knuckles and then his neck 'Alright then. Let's fight...'

He punched me back so hard I fell on the floor so when he had his chance, he pinned me good with one of his hand around my thought and the other raised in the air about to punch me again.

But I wasn't going to let him win that easily.

I threw him off of myself getting up and ready to fight back.

I know its stupid to fight someone double my size and who could knock me out in a heartbeat but what could I say? I hated losing.

I blew another punch to his temple, knowing that that was probably his weak spot but he punched me back twice as hard. So hard in fact that it cut my bottom lip terribly.

But I didn't care. Like I said, I wasn't going to lose.

We fought for a few more minutes before Josie had to break us up with all the strength we had.

Ignoring  the fact that we were both badly injured, Josie slapped to two of us hard on the faces and ranted 'How many times have I told you boys not to fight??!!' She yelled at us like a mother.

Josie was like 37, so she was older than Dominic just as she was older than me, giving her the permission to shout at him, too.

'Sorry, Joselyn,' Dominic mumbled while looking at the ground.

Instead of me apologizing, too, I got up and stormed off to my room, slamming the door behind me.

I was seriously not in the mood for anything right now.

(A/N Beefs. Many Beefs. Like Josie, I really hate when bros fight. But in this case, Claude just needs this because he's been acting like a butthurt and overpossessive bitch lately. Dominic isn't the bad person here... It's all Claude's inner demons *ba dum tss* lol get, because Claude and demons and inner...? O well, jokes ain't really my thing.
Anyways vote and comment what you thought about this chapter or comment an embarrassing story about yourself so that my poor baby Claude don't have to feel this way!! (I too will do one next chapter if y'all brave enough to do your own) )
