Brett

Pain

"No stop." I pushed Brett off of me, my arms fighting with his. "Brett, I swear." I pushed his arms away from me. "I'm gonna hurt you, and it's gonna be on accident and I'm gonna feel bad. Quit it." He shook his head and his arm darted for my side. "Now I won't feel bad." I giggled pushing him harder than before.

"Just let me tickle you and get it over with." Brett says and his hand darts for my side again but I push it away just in time.

"Can you both shut the hell up? I'm trying to watch tv, and you both are distracting me." Scott grumbles. Brett gets off of me and I sit up on the couch.

"Gosh, what's got your panties in a twist?" I turned to look at him as he sat in the chair.

"Nothing." He mumbles and continues to watch tv. I reached up and grabbed the remote, pausing the TV.

"What's wrong?" I asked cocking my head to the side. "I'm your sister Scott, I can tell when something's up. Just talk to me." He sighed shaking his head.

"I don't think this is the right time to talk about it."

"Then when is?" He sighed again not looking at me.

"Mom and dad were in an accident." He mumbles and I furrow my eyebrows. "They were flying back from Florida," he shook his head his voice beginning to crack. "The airplane lost control and flew into a mountain in Alabama." I gasped my eyes filling up with tears. "They're gone Add's. They're gone." He says and finally turns to look at me. A tear fell from my cheek and I shot up from the couch and began running upstairs.

"Addilyn!" Brett called running after me but I got to my room and slammed the door, locking in then plopped face first on my bed as I let out a loud cry. I began to gasp for air as I was crying. I sobbed loudly even though my face was muffled by my pillow.

Yeah, they didn't care about us, they didn't talk to us, they sometimes didn't even look at us but they were still our parents. Both of my parents were gone and I didn't even get to say goodbye.

I continued to cry as Brett's voice came through the door followed by a couple knocks.

"Addilyn, please open the door." He said but I ignored him as I cried my heart out. All of the pain, the abandonment, the sadness from a long time ago finally coming out and it was even worse than I thought. Than what I had felt.

I had stayed strong for so long, that all the pain just built up and I became numb to it. I didn't expect it to be this but pain.

*Scott's POV*

Brett was her healer but he couldn't heal this. As she was upstairs I could hear her loud, painful cries as she breathed heavy. I got the chills when she would cry out a loud sob. You could hear the pain in her cries, hell, you could feel it. It felt like it came from deep within her heart, like it had been packed deep down and it had been packed so tightly that now her wall broke down its coming all out.

Like the wall of a dam breaking and all the water began to rush out.

"She's been crying for hours Scott. I'm tired of hearing her cry and me not being able to do anything." Brett mumbles.

"There's nothing anyone can do. You may be her healer but you can't heal this. It's too powerful of emotions." I said sadly.

"There has to be something.." He says but I shake my head.

"She's held in so much pain, for so long that her walls are broken. She's dealt with so much stuff that it's finally all coming out. I hate hearing her cry but it needs to happen. She needs to let it all out, and if it takes time that time is what she'll get. We just need to be there for her through it, through everything. We need to protect her like we're protecting ourselves, just better. She's all I've got left, if I lose her then I'm gone."

"You're not gonna lose her. I know you'll fight tooth and nail for her, I'll fight till the death for her. She's got all of us on her side, she's not going anywhere." Brett speaks and I look at him and nod.

"Thanks man." I mumbled.

"You're welcome."
