The Forgotten Brother

Coming Out

Maverick POV

Before Jamison came along, I was considered the "youngest." Even though I have a twin that is only 5 minutes older, he never let me live that down. Growing up I always wanted a younger sibling that I could protect and pick on in moderation like they did to me. I would make them my best friend.

Jamison brought that opportunity. I was so happy when he was born. A new little brother, a built in best friend, and I ruined it.

With a new chance of making Jamison my best friend and little brother, it was decided that Jamie, Mason and Jasper would go to work today. I was gifted with the opportunity to stay home with him from school, so he could rest.

The others had already left for work. All of them checking on Jay before leaving, he needed as much rest as he could get.

I let him sleep another hour before going to wake him up. I went up to his room to see him drowning in his covers. Midnight was eating his breakfast downstairs at the time.

I walked up tho Jay's bed and woke him up softly.

"Jamison, time to get up buddy." I said softly, stroking his hair. I was probably putting him in a deeper sleep.

He started to roll around in bed, before staining his eyes around his room. I looked around his room, taking in the sights. I hadn't been in here a lot. His bed was in the center of the room, tea green walls, with plants all around the room. He always enjoy nature as a child. In one word, his room could be described as a sanctuary. Very peaceful.

He started to rub his eyes in attempt to get the sleep out of them.

"Morning Angel. Did you sleep okay?"

"Good morning Mavy. I slept well thanks. I kinda have a headache though." He said, the mention of a headache alarming me.

"I'll make you something to eat quickly, so you can take some medicine. Come down whenever you're ready." I quickly bolted out of the room to make him breakfast, can't take medicine on an empty stomach.

I started to make him breakfast. Scrambled eggs and toast. Easy and quick. I'm not really a cook, we eat out most of the time, as everyone is always so busy. However, Jamie is a pretty good cook. Now that we have allotted time to eat together as a family every night, his hidden skills have come to light.

I heard the patter of feet, alerting me that Jay and his sidekick were coming down to eat.

I placed two pain killers, his breakfast and orange juice for him at the table.

He sat down and smiled at the plate before looking up at me.

"Thank you, Mavy." I smiled back at him as he took the pain killers first and washing them down, then beginning to eat.

"You should be good to go back to school tomorrow, but if you feel the slightest bit of pain call any of us we'll be there. Today though is a day to relax." I smiled at him.

"Thanks, I hope it's not a bother for you to have to stay back from work." He gave me a sad smile. I was determined to let him know, he doesn't have to feel that way. I went to sit by him.

"Listen, Jamison. Things are different now. I don't want you to think anything you ever do will be a bother to us. If you have problems you want to talk about, or if something is bothering you. Talk to us, okay? Nothing you ever say or do will every make us love you any less or make us feel like your a bother." I told him softly. His eyes started to water and I started to freak out. I didn't mean to make him cry.

"Don't cry Angel. I didn't mean to make you cry." Said gathering him into a hug.

"It's not your fault Mavy. There's just something I've always wanted to tell you guys and I feel like it's eating me alive." His voice was muffled by my shirt. I was extremely worried. I didn't like that he couldn't talk about whatever was on his mind.

"Talk to me Jamison. What's wrong?"

"You're gonna hate me, I know it."

"Like I said before nothing you ever say will make me hate you. I love you Jamison." He cried started to die down and there was a few sniffles here and there before he lifted his face to look me in the eyes.

"If I tell you, you have to promise to let me tell the others myself." He said very seriously.

"I promise Jamison, you have my word."

He took a deep breathe before he started. Looking to Midnight for a second, Midnight stood right by his side as his comfort.

"I think I've known all my life I was different. In appearances and things that I like. Just different." I smiled at him encouraging him to go on.

"I was different from you guys and from other boys as well."

"I-I started to lo-look at boys differently. I wondered why I didn't look at girls the way other boys did. Then I came to the realization that I was Gay."

"I was so scared to tell you guys because I didn't want you to hate me more than I thought you already did. I'm so sorry Maverick If I could change I would!" He started to cry and I felt my heart break. He was so scared to come out to us because we thought we'd hate him.

"Look at me Jamison." I said sternly, but softly.

"I'm so proud of you for coming out to me. It doesn't matter who you love to me. As long as that person treats you with the respect you deserve, I would gladly support you in anything. I'm sorry if I made you feel like this was something that would tear apart our relationship, but I promise you it isn't. I love you." I said looking him in the eye making sure he knew I wasn't lying.

Without a second thought he catapulted into my arms.I quickly embraced him back as he cried. This must have been extremely hard for him to do, but I'm so proud of him.

"Thank you Maverick. I love you. I'll tell the others tonight I feel so much better with it off my chest. Thank you for accepting me."

"You never have to thank me for accepting you as you are, it is a given, and I am blessed to have you as my little brother. I hug him tightly feeling good. I am so happy he trusted me enough to come out. I know our brothers will,have the same reaction as me, we love him too much to let anything ever break us apart again.

Jamison and I spent the rest of the day watching tv, and talking about everything and nothing. Waiting for our other brothers to get home. It was a good day. A bonding day with my little brother.
