Josh arrived home happy. When he first went to the bathroom, he freed himself when he saw the red bucket with the toilet brush and the cleaning stuff in a corner and then found the plunger next to the toilet. He knew that he would happily agree the next time his parents asked him to clean the toilet.
When he was in front of his room he heard a sigh from the next room. It was his 16-year-old big brother Brad's room.
"What's wrong big brother can I help you?"
When he saw his brother, Brad immediately tried to stop looking depressed.
"There is nothing."
"That's not true. I know something is bothering you because I know that feeling. You always helped me when I was down and sad and now it's my turn to listen to you."
Brad was pleased with his brother's words.
"Thank you. You won't be able to help me with that, but maybe talking to someone about it will do the trick."
He asked Josh to sit on his bed.
"As you know, I have a girlfriend that I love."
Josh nodded. Her name was Lisa and Josh also thought she was beautiful.
"Well it is. There are rumors that she has a new boyfriend behind my back and that she might leave me. At first I thought it was just rumours, but lately I've felt like she's been avoiding me going and I'm starting to think the rumors are true."
"When will you see her next?"
"She's coming here tonight and staying with us."

Brad was amazed at those words. Although his brother was much younger, he sounded like he would have had a lot more experience. His brother thanked him for it.
The rest of the day passed quietly until that evening, when Josh made a sad yet angry discovery. When his big brother got something to drink for his girlfriend and Josh happened to pass his door, he overheard Lisa talking to someone else. From what she said, Josh quickly understood the rumors were true. That evening there was a knock on his door and Brad came in.
"I spoke to her. She said the rumors were false and that I shouldn't worry."
"I'm happy for you," Josh said while trying to sound cheerful. Inside he got angry. When his brother left, he knew that on the one hand he had to help his brother and on the other Lisa had to be punished. He knew that this would be the first good deed he would do with his newfound power. So E waited until everyone was asleep and then crept quietly into his brother's room. He slept in his bed with Lisa. Josh quietly got the pen and a piece of paper and wrote...
