Brandon Flashback

.Chapter 5

No he has to remember me im his sister. I've known him for most of his life. He has to remember me was all that was going through my head at that moment. I shakily grabbed his hand.

"M-max you know who I am right?" I asked slowly. He opened his mouth then shut it again, he did that several times before saying "Of course I know who you are, you're my sister, Lennie Bailey Brooks." His voice was quiet and hoarse but I heard every word of it.

Oh thank god!

"Oh my sweet baby jesus thank you so much god. I thought you didn't remember me. You scared me half to death." I said and squeezing his hand lightly.

Thank you Jesus! I thought.

"Wait, but I'm still sorta confused about what happened?" he said in all seriousness.

"You were in a motorcycle accident."

"Were you there?"

"No I saw it on the news. And they called me."

"Where's Ted? He wasn't with me either right?" He said starting to panic. I shook my head.

"No he's right outside, completely healthy."

"I'm so sorry Len, I didn't mean to worry or scare you."

"It's fine. It's not your fault."

"No it's not fair, especially after everything that happened with Brandon." When he said my other brother's name I could feel the tears in my eyes.

"I'm gonna send Teddy in." I said then walked out of the room. I told Teddy to go in and talk to him. Once he was inside and the door was closed I turned to Dr. McCain.

"He remembered me he just didn't know how he got in here and the accident and stuff." I told the doctor. He nodded then walked down the long hallway. I walked to the waiting room and sat down on the chair and let the tears fall.

Why did Max have to bring up Brandon?

My thoughts wondered back to that night.

*Flashback*

I was standing next toBrandonin the small Chinese food place. Waiting for our food.Brandontold me to go wait outside while he finished paying. I walked out the doors and started to walk towards our car. As I walked past an alley a group of four men walked out and circled around me. They kept asking me questions like, where I lived, and how old I was and if my mom taught me not to talk to strangers. WhenBrandonwalked out, food in hand he searched for me. When he saw me surrounded by the men he walked over already angry. He tried pulling me away from the group but one man just grabbed my arm and wouldn't let go.Brandonlet go of me and punched the guy. Now instead of a circle around me they were circled aroundBrandon. I could hear grunts of pain and cracking of bones. I looked around the streets but we were in the alley way so there weren't a lot of people. I tried to get the men to stop hitting my brother but it was no use, I was a 13 year old girl and they were at least 25. I had no cell phone. It seemed like forever when the group of men stopped moving and ran the other way.Brandon's body was lying on the ground lifeless.

"Brandon?" I whispered. He didn't even move. There was a long gash in his arm and there was a slit in his throat. I gasped and threw my hand over my mouth to keep the bile in my throat and not coming out of my mouth. I set my head down on his chest and cried. That's when I realized his chest was covered in blood too. I wiped his blood from my forehead. He stirred a little bit.

"Len?" he said almost inaudible but I heard it. I grabbed his hand and gave it a slight squeeze.

"I'm right here B." I whispered.

"Stay strong for me. Be strong for Teddy, Max and Mom. Keep them safe. I'm counting on you sis, I need you to do this for me."

"I don't have to do it. You'll be there to do it."

"Len you have to be strong-" he started but then the blood started coming out of his mouth. He coughed for a while. The whole time I just pleaded for him to stay with me. Finally a man found us and called 911. Brandonwas dead. He died. He died trying to protect me.
