《Man's Best Friend (Max)》13) Kyle and Max
Advertisement
We got to Chuys after picking up Max, and Justin just barged in the door. Their dogs were everywhere and every single one of them were barking. Carmen quickly sat up from her place on the couch and stood in front of us. Chuy completely acted as if it was normal and continued to play the keyboard, noticeably sneaking glances at me.
Justin held up the CD towards her. "Um so what is it?" She asked with her arms crossed over her body.
"Its top secret okay, hey no one else can see this" Justin pointed at Chuy. Chuy did some weird pointing thing that made me giggle. Wait I dont giggle.
"Alright give it already" Carmen said taking it from him.
"Yo check out these Mexican dogs man thinkin them small dudes can take down one big one" he said pointing at Max.
They both ignored him. "Its probably some military dog training instructions so" I walked over to the couch and sat down beside the pile of chihuahua's.
"Thats top secret? Yo I'm gonna tell them the army feeds our dogs kibble and bits it'd be the end of america" I rolled my eyes and pulled Nani the smallest chihuahua into my lap. She licked my wrist as I petted her.
"You havent watched it yet" Carmen asked us.
"No I mean I guess I should watch it with someone make some kinda tale of it" I rolled my eyes. Carmen could see me but Justin couldnt so I made a little heart with my hands making her roll her eyes, but I could see that blush it was definitely visible.
"Justin theres no big secret to this Max just has to know that you want him" well I want him "and theres no faking it" go Carmen woohoo. I looked over at Chuy and he winked at me. I rolled my eyes and pretended to throw up.
"Or are you one of those guys who uses his dog to pick up girls" ooooo get it. Team Justmen let's go. Okay that was a bad ship name but I tried.
Chuy made some weird freaky sound making us all turn to him. "Thats the sound of a third wheel spealing yo this is my house remember" Carmen turned to him fed up with his crap.
"Oh I'm sorry to interrupt your important activities like hiding in your room and stalking girls on Facebook" Carmen turned and pointed towards me making my jaw drop.

"Woah dude not cool" Justin said noticing it too.
"You two are making me throw up in my mouth I'm gonna be out back" I rolled my eyes as he put his stupid hat on and left outside.
"Lets check it out" I said and Carmen turned to put it in the tv. Max laid down at my feet as she hit play.
"Max sit, sit" I saw my brother and heard his voice and I immediately started tearing up. I think Max noticed and put his head in my lap making Nani run off. "Welcome to training school max" Max looked no older than maybe one or two.
I realized it was a video of when Kyle first started training him or even further back to when he first was assigned to Max. Kyle gave Max a treat "there we go" he rubbed Maxs tummy.
I felt a hand grab mine. I looked to see who the hand belonged to and saw Chuy had come back inside. I smiled at him and turned back to watch my big brother on the screen.
We watched the video as Max got older and more into his training and as it neared the end Kyles face came on the screen.
"Is that your brother" Carmen asked. I nodded and wiped a stray tear that fell from my eye. "If you want we can go out back" Chuy tried to stand up and leave to but I pulled him back down.
"Its okay you can stay" with both said in sync.
"looks like you earned his trust congratulations Wincott Max is your responsibility now" Max and Kyle kept training and I just continued to watch as my brother and his dog grew together.
My brother was truly an amazing man. Justin petted Max who was now laying at our feet. I couldnt even believe what I was seeing. Kyle was actually in front of me. Not exactly how I wanted it put it works.
Kyle and Max had an amazing relationship. Kinda like mine with Kyle. But I wish I couldve seen Kyle more.
"He's a lier" I said taking my hand out of Chuys and wiping my eyes.
"Who's a lier" Carmen whispered.
"Hey Justin" one of Chuys cousins said. "You better come outside" I was the first one up. Chuy followed me, then Justin, and Carmen.

I ran out to the side of the house and found Emilio on his phone leaning up against his car. Chuy grabbed my arm and pulled me behind him and my brother next to Carmen and Max.
"Well, well, well I was just making my rounds an look who shows up" he laughed and looked right at me. "You know what I never found your brother around these parts I'm sorry to hear about Kyle though" he got up from his car and advanced towards us. "He was the guy on the wrestling squad who could take me down, I tried to get him to do business with me but he turned me down cold I guess ifs for the best right" he looked right at me and tilted his head. "Right? Right?"
"If you saw so" Justin said making Emilio turn to him.
"I do say so" Emilio fired back. I stepped closer to Max fellong uncomfortable. "I also say you got some big cajunas asking for that extra 200 bills for that game you ripped" Max sat on my foot and looked up at me.
"If it aint worth it just dont buy it" I mumbled. Emilio galred at me and Max moved closer infront of me almost as if he was protecting me.
Emilio smirked "you hear that Chuy, you could pick up some attitude from these kids" I rolled my eyes and crossed my aems over my body. He asked who Carmen was and I scoffed.
"Thats my cousin Carmen" Chuy said clearly annoyed.
"Your Cousin" Emilio asked.
"Yeah from my mom side" Chuy responded. Carmen looked as if she was ready for a fight or something. Remind me to never piss her off.
"hey why dont you go put some makeup on or go put on a dressnor something" he glanced over at me with a smirk. "Like little Jenna Wincott over here" Max growled at him.
Chuy shrugged looking at Carmen when Emilio got a phone call. "Hey yo what's up Tyler" my hands clenched into fists. "Yeah dont trip, yeah they'll be there yeah" Justin glanced back at me. "Im on my way" Emilio put his phone away. I can't believe my brother was actually friends with these people.
Emilio started going off on my brother and I and Max advanced towards him growling. "I heard bout you" I kneeled down towards Max and held him back. "Heard you torn up that navy seal squad" Max kept growling so I got a tighter grip on his collar. Emilio smirked "nice" he glared at Justin. "Get me that game"
Emilio turned towards his car when Justin spoke. "Yeah up front" Emilio turned back clearly not pleased with what he had said. Emilio walked back towards us and Carmen stared at the ground trying not to make eye contact.
Emilio slapt a bunch of money into Justins chest and told him he better have the game by friday.
Justin grabbed my arm and pulled me to our bikes. I picked my up and looked over at the cousins in time to see Carmen punch Chuy in the arm. "Ow whats that for" he whined.
"Cause you let him disrespect us like that" she said pointing between her and I clearly pissed.
"Me I didnt hear Justin-" he was cute off by Justin.
"Happened to be making the rounds you told him I was gonna be here Chuy" I got on my bike ready to ride off.
"He's been on me about that game yo" Chuy said defending his only cause.
"Hey thanks for everything okay" Justin said to Carmen lightly touching her arm. "Ill call you tomorrow" Justin, Max and I started off.
"You mean you would if you had a phone foul" Chuy said but we could barely hear him as we started following Emilio in his car. Justin stopped to put on his helmet and let Max sniff the money.
"Alright Max lets see what you can do" I said with a smirk. I glanced back to see Chuy still outside and waved at him making him trip as he walked inside.
"Oh stop flirting we gotta go" Justin said with a smirk.
"I wasnt flirting now what you were doing earlier was flirting" I giggled as we continued down the road. "Ill call you" I said in a high pitched voice. "Come on Justin I taught you better than that" he rolled his eyes and we peddled faster.
We're gonna get in deep trouble for this....

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
