My brother comes first!

The sick, the sad and the stressed

Kathleen's POV:
Jack and I were on the love seat (two person couch).
I was sitting on his lap, his hand resting on my thigh, my head on his shoulder and his other hand wrapped around me.
I felt a pair of eyes on Jack and I, then I heard the clicking of a camera.
My head shot over to my mom holding a camera with an innocent look on her face.
I shook my head and rolled my eyes than slowly put my head on Jack's shoulder.
I could hear his quiet heart beat, the touch of his hand on my thigh sent tingles through my body and the warmth of his body was radiating onto me.

After the movie ended we got into a casual conversation about how the guys and I met, what our friendship is like, blah blah blah.
Then my mom turned on the radio and a huge grin spread across my face. I shot off the couch and stood confidently. One of my favourite songs started playing....'wake me up' by Avicii. I ran over to the stereo and turned it up and I turned it up LOUD.
I looked over at my mom and she sent me a cheeky smile and stood up.

"Feeling my way through the darkness"
"Guided by a beating heart"
"I can't tell where the journey will end"
"But I know where it starts"
"They tell me I'm too young to understand"
"They say I'm caught up in a dream"
"Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes"
"Well that's fine by me"

Nash's POV:
When Kathleen gave her mom that goofy look I had no idea what was going on. I looked around at the other boys and they looked even more confused than I did. Kathleen started singing along with the words and her mom and her started dancing around the living room. I looked over at Cameron and he shrugged looking confused.

Kathleen looked beautiful and hot and fun and interesting dancing with her mom. I...I don't know what to think now?! Are we friends? Do I wanna be more than that? Is any one else interested in her? Would she ever like me? Of coarse not.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard more puking coming from down the hall way. It sounded dreadful.
I got up and walked slowly over to Cameron.
"I'll be down the hall" I whispered and he nodded

I swiftly walked down the hall to find Tanner still in the bathroom with his head in the toilet.
He stopped puking and laid his head against the wall, his eyes closed. His face was pale, the bags under his eyes were darker than the Galaxy sky, his body was thin and he definitely didn't look the best.

"You okay?" I whispered
His eyes slowly opened and he looked up at me.
"Just...perfect" he shook his head.
"I'm Nash" I crouched down infront of him (not too close)
"I'm tanner" he sat up slowly
"I heard you've been getting sick a lot lately" I sighed
"Lately?" He scoffed
"More like the last 2 months" he went on and rolled his eyes
"Do you know why?"
"I-i don't know...w-we want to check it out at the hospital but we don't have the money" his voice cracked and he let out a shaky sigh.
"I-I'm really scared" a tear shed down his face and he leaned his head back against the wall.
"Hey, it's okay...it's gonna be okay" I reassured him but honestly...I had no idea.
"I don't know what's gonna happen, I'm scared for me, I'm scared for my mom and I'm scared for my sister" he looked down
"Why are you scared for them?" I asked a little confused.
"I'm sick, Nash...I've been sick for almost three months now...my mom has been so stressed out, my sister...she's different" Tanner shook his head and looked up at me.
"I'm sure every thing will be okay" I nodded
"Promise?" He asked looking me in the eyes
"Promise" I nodded
He held out his pinky and I gladly took it.
"If you need any thing at all...just call me, text me...I'll be down the hall for now" I smiled slightly to him and got up. I was just about out the bathroom door when he called my name.

"Nash?" He asked quietly
"Yeah Tan?" I asked turning around
"Thanks" he smiled a bit
"No problem" I nodded and walked back down the hall.

Kathleen's POV:
"So wake me up when it's all over"
"When I'm wiser and I'm older"
"All this time I was finding myself"
"And I didn't know I was lost"
