I'm home", I called even though I knew there was no one there that could answer. But even still there was someone there. I quickly ran up the steps to my older brothers room which was nothing like a regular boys room. My dad tried posting pictures of all of the stuff normal a boy would like to have in their room, but you honestly couldnt tear your eyes away from the frail looking boy in the hospital bed practically unmoving. The walls were a plain cream color and the floor was a regular tiled floor.There were posters of atheletes playing basketball or football with "motivational" phrases on the bottom plastered agianst the wall. A large T.V was held in front of the bed so he could watch T.V while I was away at school. You could hear a steady beeping from a heart monitor that was to the side of the bed. I cringed inwardly. Even though I've been in this room a million and one times I couldn't get over that feeling in my gut that made my blood feel like it would slowly stop flowing through my body. I began to get that inward numb feeling around my shoulders and chest.

Hey", I said putting on a fake smile. " How are you doing today bro".  I asked even though I knew he wouldn't answer, his body was just as un moving as before. The only movement was in his chest from his breathing." Hey, I'm going to go and get your medicine then we can watch some T.V" I said still wearing that fake smile, and speed walked out of the room needing an exscuse to leave. I made a face at the person in the mirror in the hall not breaking my stride. She had golden blond hair that shined in the light but was sticking up everywhere, clear skin free of any blemishes and green eyes with dark purple bags under them, with full red lips that were currently in a half smile half pout.

I had just reached the steps when I recieved a text from my dad asking how my brother was doing. "The same, I typed slowly pushing in the letters and hit send. I felt the numbness spreading through my body again. "No" , I said to myself. Trying to force it to the back of my mind by distracting myself with the colors I should paint my nails tomorow. I enterd the kitchen and quichly scooped up the medicine bottle labled Popa. Andrew needed to take this everyday at 4 and 7 P.M. I walked back to Andrews room becoming nervous from leaving hom alone for so long and set the medicine on his bed. I put the channel on Nickelodean where Big Time Rush was currrently playing. I turned back around and picked up a waterbottle that hadn't been opened and unscrewed the cap. I took out two of his pills and opened his mouth. He didn't have any reaction to this. I put the pills in his mouth and washed it down with water, pushing down on his tounge forcing him to swallow. Yes, my brother needs help swallowing his food.

He wasn't always like this though. Last year he was the biggest player in the school with a new girlfriend everyweek. All he had to do was smile at them with his perfect teeth and they would fall head over heels for him. He had golden blond hair with green eyes just like me but with muscels and an eight pack. He was the wide reciever of his football team too. His grades though were nothing to brag about and were mostly B's with an occasional A. He was a pretty outgoing person and threw parties while my dad was away on buisness trips but was sensitive to and took care of me when I was sick. Yet here he was lying on the bed only able to breath practically becoming a human vegetable, heck, who am I kidding he is a human vegetable!
