---------------------------
Charlie didn't mean to break Reece's phone, sure he could be immature and reckless sometimes, but the boys knew that he would never intentionally do something to upset them. So when he broke the phone Reece wasn't mad, he was just a little frustrated that he had to get another phone after only having the broken one for a month. Of course in this situation frustration lead to anger, anger lead to outbursts, and outbursts lead to hurt.
"I'm sorry," Charlie repeated for the forth time.
"It's fine," Reece muttered slightly annoyed with the younger boy while he squinted at his completely cracked screen, trying to text his mom and keep a hold on his temper at the same time.
Charlie looks down shoes, "We can tell Tom and get you a new phone"
Reece shook his head looking up to make eye contact with his younger friend "Do not tell Tom, we weren't supposed to be wrestling I don't want to get us in trouble again"
Tom walked up behind the two, without making his presence known, "Did you guys want to tell me something" The oldest boy said taking in there distressed expressions, but not their conversation before.
"Nothing" They both jumped, throwing Reece's phone screen down on the couch.
Tom raised his eyebrow in confusion and put his hand to his forehead in defeat he didn't want to know, "Reece your mom texted me saying to reply to her text."
"But I already did," Reece groaned grabbing his phone from the couch, and brought brought it close to his face and tried squinting to read through the cracks.
Tom finally walked in the doorway all the way through the doorway and plopped down onto the couch trying to ignore the awkward silence in the room by scrolling down his instagram feed. In a short space of time Casey, James, Jake, Barclay, and Chris wandered into the room noticing the silence but not commenting on it. Suddenly everyone's phone went off.
'Why is it so quiet' Jake texted in the group chat making everyone look up well Charlie discreetly handed Reece his phone to let him read the text.
Staying true to his name smiley kick, Chris giggled, "Why'd you text, mate. We're in the same room"
Jake blushed and hid his face in his hands, "Didn't want to scare ya all, I'm pretty fucking loud, I'm 19 years old I'm allowed to swear," Jake finished unknowingly quoting one of there live streams.
While the older boys had banter, Charlie and Reece had a conversation through the notes app on Charlie's phone deciding to tell Tom about his phone because his phone officially wouldn't turn on or work in any capacity.
"Tom, I think I need a new phone" Reece blurted out unsure of how else to say it.
"Really Reece" Tom said, not mad just a little annoyed, "What did you do?"
"Nothing" Reece defended not wanting to both him and Charlie in trouble. "I just- ugh can you just take me to get a new phone"
"No," Tom said without even pausing to take a breath, "This is the forth phone you've broke in three months plus I can tell you're lying you're grounded, two weeks, go upstairs."
"What!" Reece yelled finally losing a grip on his short temper. "It wasn't even my fault this time, this is a new low even for you, you twisted fucking son of a dick of a bitch" then proceeded to run out, Charlie hot on his heels.
"Calm down mate" Charlie whispered after Reece he threw himself onto the floor of their shared bedroom.
Reece dug his hands into his hair and screamed into the carpet as he tried to hide his tears from a very sensitive Charlie. The youngest boy sat on the floor and lightly rubbed between Reece's shoulder blades until he caught sight of his best friends.
"You're crying" Charlie stated, pulling the other boy up into a seated position making it so the two had to look each other in the eyes. "This is my fault" Charlie concluded feeling tears puddle into his own eyes.
"No Char- Tom I'm sorry please just come help me" Reece yelled unable to see his little brother cry and needing the oldest's help to calm him down.
"What's wrong Ree-" Tom stopped short when he was attacked in a hug by Charlie, "Aw, baby kick, what's wrong"
"I broke Reece's phone," Charlie mumbled, "He didn't want to get me in trouble please don't ground him, I don't like seeing him cry"
Tom pulled away from Charlie and turned to look at Reece who was still sitting on the carpeted floor of their bedroom. Seeing the messy hair and red eyes of the small teen Tom's prior anger basically diminished.
"Char, why don't you go sit with Casey and James right now," Tom suggested knowing they were likely to calm the kid down while he talked to Reece. Charlie nodded and shuffled quietly out of the room. "Was he telling the truth?"
"Please don't ground him" Reece said, "I'll take the punishment, I'm just really sorry about what I said before."
"You're fine Bud, I was talking to Barclay about it, I'm not gonna ground either of you. Just promise me you'll tell me the truth when I ask you stuff"
"Yeah, sure dad," Reece said his voice filled with sarcasm, but he had a since smile on his face
