Oh my.....

Well, last night was interesting. I found out some stuff that my brother failed to tell me. Okay, last month he was arrested and had to pay a fine. He told me that some people he was with were drinking and fishing (but him and a few other guys werent drinking) and because they were all together the officer arrested all of them and suspended my bro's license (sp?) for....several months (he doesnt even have a permit). So I really didnt get why they would do that, but hey......its the police and I dont really understand why they do half the things they do. Last night I came home and mum was all "did you know your brother was arrested?" and I said yeah and told her what he told me. It seems he left out the part about the drugs and the pipe. The police had found drugs and when the guys wouldnt tell them who it belonged to the officer arrested them all. Mum is upset.....dad is upset......I am too. I just pretend not to be.
Lately it seems everything is just comming apart. My friends are growing apart from it it seems, mum isnt happy, dad wont pay her any "real" attention, and now this with my brother. I wish I could just stitch everything back together where it belongs, but it always seems as though I cant gather enough patches. I wish I could help mum and dad. I wish I could bring my friends closer to me again. I wish somehow I could get my bro out of this trouble.
