Siblings (an O2L FanFiction)

The Call and The Camera

~ Connor ~

I was sitting on the couch when all the sudden I hear a shatter and loud scream.

The boys and I immediately spring up and sprint for the kitchen. There Abby is, on the floor crying, with pieces of her phone scattered all around.

I kneel down to face her and take her face in my hands, "Abby what's wrong?" I say. The boys are crowded all around us.

"Abby's what's wrong?!" I say a little louder.

She cries harder, "J-Jacksons in a coma." She splutters. She pulls her hair and screams.

I sit beside her and hug her tightly, leaning her face into my chest. Then the boys sit around her and give her a warm group hug. She cries into my shoulder and grips me tight.

"I have to go back to Minnesota." She says, "I have to."

The boys all pull away and leave, giving us time to talk, "if that's what you need." I say and kiss the top of her head.

"But I can't do this alone." She says, "come with me please."

"I'll go wherever you go, I'm never going to leave again. I promise." A single tear strokes down my face, "I'll be by your side, no matter where you are."

"T-thank you Connor." She stutters and looks up at me, "I-I love you so much, don't ever forget it."

"I won't. I love you." I cry.

So we sit there, on the kitchen floor, in complete silent. The only noise being the faint sound of the tv and Abby's heavy panting.

I stroke her soft hair and she falls asleep with tear streaks down her face. I shook my head and stood up, leaning Abby on the cabinet behind her. I stretched then picked Abby up bridal style, careful not to hit her head or anything. She adjusted herself in my arms, leaning her head against my shoulder.

No one should have to go through this. This is horrible, this might not have been her biological family, but it wasn't any different for them. This was the family she spent all her life with. This was the family that was there when I wasn't. God, I'm such a horrible brother.

Another tear streamed down my face. Why wasn't I there when she was growing up. We're twins, I should of felt something... Right?

I shook off the thought and lightly kicked Abby's bedroom door. I took off Abby's cardigan and tucked her into bed. I turned to leave and Abby's hand gabbed mine.

"Stay... Please." She whimpered.

I nodded, "of course."

I shut the door and slid into the bed beside her. I kissed the side of her hair. "Goodnight sis, I love you."

I could feel the slight vibration of her giggle I've been waiting to hear, "goodnight bro, I love you too."

Then that night I comforted her, I made her feel okay and that... That made me feel like a real brother

It was now morning and I was still in Abby's room but Abby wasn't there. I sat up confused and looked around the colourful room. Abby's room was beautiful, covered in paintings. There was a dragon, the O2L hand sign, a bonfire but the one that stunned me the most was a drawing of Abby and I. It wasn't complete, I was still missing half of my hair and Abby's eyes and lips weren't painted. But wow.

I lifted myself off the bed and into my room. I flopped on my own bed and grabbed my phone off the nightstand. There was a note from Abby stuck to the screen.
