I sighed the moment the elevator doors opened up to the 20th floor of the apartment building, which so happened to be located in a great neighborhood here in New York city. Okay, so maybe it cost an arm and a leg to live here but at least my brother and I lived far away from the Bronx. To put things into perspective, I worked two part-time jobs to gather the funds to rent this place, so as you could imagine that I was pretty exhausted by the time that I opened that door around 11 PM. I did what I had to do, mostly for my brother, who was at his senior year of high school. The school was relatively nearby but the main reason why I chose to live here in upper Manhattan was so that Francis Rodriguez (my brother) would live in an area far from those popular, wannabe thugs that plague his school. I was, in fact, pretty desperate for him to make something of himself. Don't get the wrong idea; I wasn't living exclusively for his well being - I had ambitions for myself too, you know. I was hoping to become a model and I was working my way to that between jobs. Well...I modeled via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, but you got my point.
Putting my light jacket to the hangar, I walked into my place wearing a modest pair of jeans and a white tank top. I wasn't doing any amateur photo shoots with my friends tonight, so I saw no need to wear something with more flare to it, I guess. Francis and I slept in separate rooms, but as usual I found him fully dressed, passed out on the couch instead of resting in his room. I hoped that I didn't bother him by checking up on my email and stuff while he laid on the couch, his body sprawled and his feet sticking out humorously. I smiled as I checked on my Skype where my fiance, Felix Duchamps left me a few messages as always. I typed back, telling him of my day (despite him not being online at the moment) as I always did, whether he was online or not, and finished it with a sweet "love you forever! xoxo".
Curious over whether someone had commented on my public Facebook profile, I checked it out and saw that I was gaining some popularity. I had some pictures in here recently that weren't strictly taken at my friend's place with her photo equipment (she was an arts major and I was looking to get some pictures taken, it was mutually beneficial). I had received a few jobs here and there (or gigs as some would call them), posing for some corporate giants in between college football games. Despite having only two gigs like that, it made my profile seem much more professional, I think.
My eyes went over to a comment left by someone that I never saw around before. I had some fan-base to speak of, but as you can imagine for someone just starting out, it wasn't all that big. I could recall most users who stuck around long enough to see an update, so I was always thrilled to see someone new with hopes that he'd stick around.
The user's name was Rick West and his comment: "I can't believe that I haven't found your profile until now. You're absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to go over your albums. "
I smiled at this and to his friend's request. However, right before I was going to click Accept, I heard Francis' voice saying:
"Don't do it."
I turned around to face him, as he took off his baseball cap. As it turns out, he wasn't so much asleep as he was resting his eyes.
"What? Why? And why aren't you asleep yet? You have school in the morning!" I asked, not so much appalled that he was eavesdropping on me as I was that he was awake past 11:15 PM, on a school night.
"Sorry sis, I'll get to that right away...but you can't be friends with that guy."
"Why not? I'm just accepting his Facebook friend request, it hardly means anything."
"Don't even do that. Look, I know the guy, he goes to my school. He's a complete and utter jerk."
"Does he pick on you or something?"
"What? No...Look, he's just a jerk and a user. He preys on certain women and I'm worried that his next victim might be you."
"Okay, first of all, I've been around jerks before. Second of all, you shouldn't be worried - I'm not some slut that craves attention, I have Felix you know. I'm a little insulted that you would even say that."
"I'm sorry sis. Look just please, please don't accept that friend request."
My silence probably said it all, so my brother just got up and walked towards his bedroom. He paused in front of the door.
"Anyway, I'm going to bed. Good night sis." He said, finally going in and closing the door behind him. Meanwhile, I simply stared at the bright computer screen as I moved the mouse cursor back and forth from Accept to Decline. If it really bothered Francis, maybe I shouldn't do it. Then again, I needed my fan base to expand...what to do, what to do...
That's when the cursor began moving away from Decline and towards Accept.
I think what really got me to do this, was the fact that my younger brother was practically demanding that I wouldn't do this. The thing with us, is that I was pretty much the authority figure for him ever since my parents had gotten into that devastating car crash about eight years ago. I think that it somehow got to my head that I needed to be the one making the shots for us both, so his little talk got my pride boiling, I guess. I tried to justify this by telling myself that if worst comes to worst, I could be teaching his boy, Rick, a lesson if he really does get out of hand. Especially if he was bullying my brother or something...
Finally, I caved in and clicked Accept.
