The lost sibling

Chapter 7

"Sebastian?"i question wondering why he's down here.

He immediately snaps his head up  towards me,I can really see his face since the only light I have is comes from the refrigerator.

"Nicolas?,what are you doing up?"
Sebastian questions,standing there like he's been caught doing something he shouldn't be doing.

"I was hungry so I came to to get food"i tell him.

"But really I should be asking you that"i say even though I know he just got back from the fight club.

"I-I-was hungry,same as you"Sebastian says as I close the fridge and go to turn the light on.

"If your hungry and was getting food,why are you heading that way,the kitchens this way?"i ask knowing he's lying.

I can already see the bruise forming on his face from the punch,dried up blood right below both of his nostrils,and his nose crooked.

"Umm"Sebastian says. He looks like an antelope in headlights.

Probably trying to think of a lie but it's too late.

"What happened to you?"i ask.

Sebastian just stays still not saying a thing.

"That's fine,if our don't want to tell me you don't have to,but let's at least get you cleaned up"i tell Sebastian,as I walk over to him.

No-

"Shhh,you look like you need help"i tell him.

"I made it this far,I can make it further"Sebastian tells me with a look of determination on his face.

"Ok"Is all I say.

I watch him as he drags himself over to the dining room,limping and wincing every time he moves.

Once he gets there he collapses onto a chair.

I can't really see because it's dark in there. The kitchen light can only do so much.

"Actually,on second thought,imightneedalittlehelp" Sebastian says fast.

Even though I couldn't really make out what he said,I got a pretty good idea.

"Hm,I didn't catch that"i tease with a light smile.

Sebastian groans.

"I said,I might need a little help" Sebastian tells me.

"Ok"I say as I turn the light off,walk to the living room and turn that light on.

"Do you guys have a emergency kit or something"i ask Sebastian.

"Yea the emergency kit is in the bathroom down the hall to the right,it should be in the cabinet under the sink" Sebastian says.

I follow his directions towards the bathroom.Once I finally get there,I look in the cabinet under the sink and there it was, an emergency kit.

I head back into the living room,and see Sebastian sitting there deep in thought.

"Whatcha thinking bout?" I question opening the kit,getting started.

"Life"Sebastian says as he sighs.

"And what about life" i ask trying to make conversation.

"Just what my life has turned into" Sebastian says wincing as I touch his nose.

"Is it broken?" Sebastian asks looking worried.

"Just out of place"i say

"Nothing I can't fix" i tell him getting ready to pop it back in place.

"Ready"i ask looking at Sebastian.

"Huh,for what?" Sebastian asks frantically.

"For me to pop it back in place"i tell him.

"Sure?" Sebastian hesitates.

3...2...1crack

"Fuck,Jesus christ" Sebastian exclaims.

"Wow,that's disrespectful"i say sarcastically,while beginning to clean up the rest of his face.

"Yea"Sebastian says,his mind trailing off,back into deep thought.

"Hey,Nic wow I haven't said that since you were little".
"I-Thank you,for taking care of me when I couldn't do it myself,and I'm sorry for how I treated you,I just was worried that you were going to get taken again and I didn't want to feel how I felt the first time. I mean I'm still worried about that but,I realized that spending time with you is more important than worrying if your going to be here tomorrow."Sebastian expresses. Tears running down his face.

"Your welcome,it's not all you. I haven't put in the effort I want to put in to really be yours and the others brother. And truth be told I don't trust you guys,but I want to. It's not something you guys did,I guess it's more of what you guys didn't do. I've went through a lot in life,not really feeling like I belong,I've been betrayed,lied to and much more. I have trust issues but I really hope one day I can learn to love and trust you guys."i tell Sebastian wiping his tears.

"Is this the part where we hug?"i ask with a small smile.

Yup" Sebastian says as he raps both arms around me,and I him.

The hug went on more then it needed so I pulled away,and went to put the kit back after I cleaned up.

"Your going to need to see a professional for your leg"i state.

"Ok,thanks again" seb says.

"No problem,goodnight" i tell Sebastian getting ready to leave.

"Buenas noches" Sebastian says back.

I was about to leave but realized Sebastian couldn't walk that well.

"Do you need help getting upstairs"i ask turning back around.

"Kinda"Sebastian says sounding embarrassed.

"No need to be embarrassed"i tell him going over to help him.

I lead him Into the elevator since i thought it would be easier than the stairs.

Once we make it upstairs I walk him to his room and he's says he's good.

We wave at each other both going into our rooms.

Once I'm fully in my room,I get my laptop, hack the cameras, and erase any footage of that encounter ever happening,while making it look like they haven't been hacked.

After that I call the group chat with me,Jayden,and Alanii since I haven't talked to them since I got here.

We then fell asleep on the phone,while I completely forgot about my hunger.

(Third person)
Nicolas was finally starting to feel good about staying with his brothers,but little did he know this is only the beginning.
