The Unseen Creatures~Book 2~

Chapter 3:

When Sam woke next it was midnight. He sat up yawning.

"Caleb?"

Caleb came in. "Hey kid. How you doing?"

"I'm okay. You guys should go. Brian and ma will be home soon. I'll be fine."

"Okay." Caleb and Matt then left and Sam went down and locked the door before going back upstairs. He laid on his bed and couldn't stop the tears from coming.

Sam hid his face in his pillow and allowed himself to cry. About an hour later he hears someone walk by his room. He sniffed and laid on his side. He saw someone's shadow stop at his door. Brian entered.

"Sam? Are you home?" Brian asked confused why Sam's light was on.

"Yeah." Sam said softly.

Brian went over and saw Sam had been crying.

"What's wrong kiddo?"

"D-Danny."

"He break up with you?"

"H-He kissed another boy."

"How do you know?"

" I s-saw it."

"I'm sorry kiddo." Brian said lifting Sam and hugging him to his chest.

Sam cried into Brian's chest. "Shh." Brian kissed Sam's head.

After a while Sam fell asleep in Brian's arms. Brian closed his eyes and went to sleep after Sam.

Sam woke in the morning to see Brian asleep. He sighed. He eased his way out of Brian's arms hoping he didn't wake him. But he did. Brian looked at him.

"Hey bud."

"Hi."

"Ma went shopping. She won't be back for a while."

Sam nodded.

"Sam I'm sorry. For what I said."

"Why? I asked for the truth I got it."

"Yeah but it was messed up."

"Still I asked for the truth. I got it."

"Know what? Fine. Be a selfish little brat. I'm going out. While I'm out do me a favor and kill yourself. I can't believe I'm related to you. God why couldn't you just not be born or died in that accident that killed dad?!"

"It wasn't my fault!"

"I never said it was........But now that you mention it it was your fault. If you hadn't run away dad would be here."

Sam then started crying again. "I'm sorry. I wish that I died and dad lived!!! I already blamed myself. But the only thing that kept me going was that I thought you didn't. If I'd known that you did I wouldn't be here still. I should have just killed myself." He said.

"Well I'll be home in a hour. Plenty of time for you to kill yourself." Brian said leaving.

Sam cried harder after he left. He got up and ran into his bathroom. He shut the door and opened his medicine cabinet. He threw pills all over the room looking for his strong pain pills. He found them and saw that they were full. He smiled. He then opened them and filled the glass on his sink with water. He took pill after pill making sure the bottle is empty. He soon found himself lightheaded and he threw up all over the sink and mirror. His eyes rolled into his head and he fell limply to the floor.

Brian stood outside thinking about what he said to Sam. He looked up at the kids room. He then remembered what the kid said in school.

I'll do it again. And I'll succeed this time. So you will be happy. Sam had wrote.

"Oh god Sam!" Brian turned around and ran back into the house. He ran upstairs.

"Sam!!!!!!!!!!" He said entering Sam's room. He went to the bathroom and quickly opened the door.

He froze when he saw his baby brother's still form on the floor of the bathroom. "No.......No no no no. What have I done?!"

Brian dropped to his knees beside Sam and lifted his limp body. He cradled his baby brother to his chest crying.

"I'm sorry baby brother. I'm so sorry."

Brian got out his phone not letting go of Sam and called nine-one-one.

"Yeah my brother took a bunch of pills. No he's unconscious. Barely. A bottle. It was just opened. Okay. 7592 Arrow View. Thank you."

Brian put his phone away and cradled Sam. Sam's head was laying limply on his shoulder. Brian kissed Sam's head tears falling into the kid's hair.

"Hang on little brother. Please don't give up." Brian cried.

He laid his head on Sam's.

"Please little brother. Don't give up. I need you. Mom needs you. I love you kiddo."

Brian hugged Sam closer and moved Sam's hair. He looked at the door wondering where the paramedics were.

"Come on where are you?! He doesn't have forever! I wouldn't have called if he hadn't been dying!"

That was when the medics came through the doors.
