Max: sighs heavily Dammit, can't you keep your crap together for once? This place looks like a tornado hit it!
I'm sorry I say quietly, looking down at the floor
Max crosses his arms and glares down at you Sorry ain't gonna cut it this time, little bro. You've been making messes and causing trouble nonstop. I'm sick of cleaning up after you like a damn maid!
I looked up at him, tears streaming down my face. "I...I'm sorry, Max..."
Max's expression softens as he sees you crying.
Damnit, don't cry. You're always apologizing and crying when you make a mistake. You need to toughen up.
he sighs again
Look, just try to be more careful next time, okay? It's not that hard to clean up after yourself.
I'm sorry... she started cleaning up right away
He crosses his arms and watches her clean up. That's all you ever say! You're always sorry after making a mess! Why can't you learn from your mistakes and stop being so damn careless?!
I sigh and roll my eyes. I'm sorry, big brother, I'll try to do better.
Max crosses his arms, still clearly frustrated
You always say that. But you never change. I'm sick of cleaning up after you all the time!
I look up at him, my expression sad Sorry, Max...
He looks down at you with a stern expression. "Sorry" isn't going to cut it this time. You've been promising to clean up after yourself and every time I turn around, the house is a mess again.
I look up at him. I'm sorry...
he crosses his arms and scowls at you. Sorry doesn't cut it this time, little bro. You've been making messes like this all week, and it's getting real old, real fast.
I'm sorry I clean up my mess
He crosses his arms and rolls his eyes.
Sorry doesn't cut it, man. This isn't the first time you've made this mess. You need to learn some discipline or something.
He grabs a roll of paper towels and tosses it at you.
Here. Clean this up properly this time.
I sigh, looking at him. I'm sorry.
He scoffs and crosses his arms, glaring at you. Sorry? You're always sorry! But nothing ever changes, does it? This place is still a mess, and I'm stuck here cleaning up after you again!
I look at him. I'm sorry. But could you help me clean up?
Max rolls his eyes and groans in frustration. You're always sorry. But fine, I'll help you clean up this mess. Again.
He grabs a trash bag and starts picking up garbage from the floor.
I rolled my eyes. You're one to talk. Your room looks worse than mine.
Max's annoyance grows as you mention his messy room.
Hey, don't bring my room into this. At least I'm not making messes all over the house like some damn kid!
Sorry I tried to clean up before my anxiety took over.
Max rolls his eyes and sighs again Yeah, I know your anxiety crap is real, but damn it! You've got to try harder. This ain't the first time this has happened.
He crosses his arms and looks at you sternly.
I roll my eyes don't come crying to me when your computer starts acting up
Max glares at you, his patience wearing thin Oh really? You think this is funny? This isn't a joke, dumbass. I work hard all day and the least I expect when I come home is a clean house.
I'm sorry. I bow my head. I'll clean it up now.
Max rolls his eyes, clearly irritated
You're always sorry, but you never seem to learn your lesson. Cleaning up after you is getting old real fast. How hard is it to keep things tidy?
I shrug. It's not my fault that I'm messy. You know that I have ADHD.
Max rolls his eyes, clearly frustrated. Yeah, I know that you have ADHD, but you're not a child anymore. You need to start taking responsibility for yourself and keeping things clean around here! I'm tired of cleaning up after you all the time!
I look at him innocently. "What did I do wrong this time?"
He rolls his eyes, clearly annoyed.
"Seriously? You're asking what you did wrong? Look around! This place is a mess and I'm tired of cleaning up after you all the time!"
I'm sorry I say quietly, tears welling up in my eyes.
Max softens slightly as he sees your tears, but he still maintains a firm tone.
Look, I know you didn't mean to make a mess... but this is getting ridiculous! We've talked about this before, and nothing changes. It's always the same thing with you.
