TEARS to HAPPY ENDING ♥️

PAST

Andrew POV

A stranger's voice, followed by clank of falling spoon, brought me to an alert mode. I never saw a pale Rian ever, except during his attacks.

For us, he was a bubbly boy but I always heard rumours that he was a cold person to everyone. I guess, he really felt safe and loved by us.

The day my little sister Lisa informed us about her plans to move back, we were all skeptical. You see, she never wanted to be judged as some spoiled brat and so she kept her distance. She was 6 years younger than me whereas I was 29. So she was the baby of the family.

On further enquiries, she told us about her this male friend and his story in short. Whatever was the reason, I was happy to get my sister back to tease and to irritate.

The moment I laid eyes on her face I was ecstatic but the moment I saw this lost boy following Lisa, I felt protective. Just looking at him brought my protective brother instinct out so I decided to love him as my own little brother always.

In a year, Rian got mixed in our family, and so did we with him. He was a part of us now. Apart from his surname, no one was able to tell that he wasn't related to us by blood. He was happy and moving on strongly. I was the sole witness of his first panic attack here but fortunately, my presence was enough to calm him down. I was happy, I had a little brother now.

Lisa's loud voice brought me back, out of my memories.

"YOU. MICHAEL SHIT. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

"Lisa. Please. Rian. I need..."

"NO YOU DON'T. HE DOESN'T NEED YOU OR ANYTHING FROM YOU. LEAVE FROM HERE."

"NO. Li..."

"SHUT UP."

We were all confused with her outburst. She is not a kind of person to leave her calmness so easily. So I can understand that something serious was going on, right in front of us but without our knowledge.

I looked at Rian and saw him on the verge of fainting. I grabbed him in a hug before he touched the ground. I carried him to his room without realising that my parents were following me but Lisa was still back there, continuing with the argument.

"Mom, dad. I'll call the doctor."

"Andy. We'll look after him. Go to your sister now."

I nodded my head and turned to leave, going to the loud voices back.

"LISA. STOP."

"Andy. You don't know..."

"Then tell me Li. What's going on here?"

I looked at everyone's face, waiting for my questions to be answered. My gaze fell back on Lisa.

"Lisa?"

She sighed and opened her mouth again.

"This Michael shit here. He is Rian ex-husband."

"I'm not ex-...."

Michael tried to interrupt but Lisa's first statement was enough to make me understand the whole scenario. That's when my anger exploded.

"I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH, MR. MICHAEL."

I turned towards him to look into his eyes which made him uncomfortable. Good. I was happy with the reaction he was showing to my gaze.

"Mr. Damon. Take your husband right away. I don't want him anywhere near my brother."

"Mr. Andrew, I understand that the situation is not a good one but please, can we..."

"NO. NEVER. I will not allow anyone near my brother, who will make him uncomfortable. So please..."

As we were talking, Michael ran towards Rian's room and we rushed after him to stop him entering the room. Before we could stop him, he opened the door, and the event that followed made him run away, with eyes full of tears.

One look at Rian, and I promised myself that I'll do anything to keep him safe and happy.
