The door shut softly as I looked at the two pairs of eyes staring at me. “Um… You guys want to play Mario Brothers?” I asked nervously. The boys shrieked and sprinted to my room. “Oh great” I mumbled. My parents left me with two monsters while they went shopping. From past experiences I know that they’ll take centuries. Thoughts of how this could go very wrong raced through my mind.

The controller of the Wii seemed to shake in my hands as the theme song played. We competitively played for what it seemed to be hours, but of course I had to let them win. All of a sudden, the one thing I never wanted to happen just happened.

“Hey! Stop it Bray Bray!” Asher yelled and swung at him. Smack! That had to sting. My mind raced as fast as it could, looking for something to say. I went with my guts and said “Hey! Stop it Asher, if you do it again I’ll put you in time out!”. “No sissy, you’re being mean!” Asher screamed. I immediately stood up, snatched him and carried him over to where I was sitting. He started to bawl as I put him down. The guilt was too much to bear, and I soon felt like I was the monster.

“Look… I’m sorry Asher, but can you be nice to Braylon?” I asked. “Yea..” He answered looking at Braylon, who stared back with tears in his eyes. I hugged Asher who sat for not even a second and pushed me away. “Alright.” I said and let him sit next to Braylon. Asher might have been awful to Braylon, but that doesn’t mean that I need to be just as terrible. We should’ve just been nice with each other.
