A/N: Frankie is 3, Nick is 11, Meredith is 12, Joe is 14, and Kevin is 16.
"I hate you!"I screamed at my second oldest brother, then slammed the door shut on his face, bursting into tears. I crashed down onto my bed, sobbing. After awhile, my tears were all dried out, and my eyes were red and puffy. I heard a knock on the door.
"Go away JOE!!"I yelled.
"It's me,"I heard the voice of my oldest brother, Kevin. I remained silent, and heard the doorknob turning. Kevin came in and sat beside me. I sniffed.
"Joe was only trying to-"
"I don't care!"I yelled, then bit my lip. I hardly ever yelled at Kevin. Yelling was usually reserved for Joe, or sometimes even Nick. But not Kevin. He sighed, then rubbed my back.
"He just..."Kevin's voice trailed off, thinking of what to say.
"What?"I asked sullenly, turning over and placing my head on his chest.
"Meredith, it's just that he knows Ray, and isn't the best of friends with him. And he also doesn't like the fact that Ray is 14 and you're 12."
