My 5 Overprotective Brothers

Chapter 5 (Picture of Parker)

Braylon's POV

"Ok, we need to divide into teams.
Orange and blue." 19 year old Zane says.
I stand in the line with everyone else, consisting of me, Gray, Braydon, Jayden, Jace, Parker, Tyler, Amie, Ally, and Zane.  I'm wearing a green bikini with a soccer ball on the top right corner of the top piece. Amie is wearing a yellow bikini with white polka dots. Ally is wearing a pink bikini with a bow pattern on it. She always was the girliest one of us.
"Who wants to be captain?" Jace asks.
  Only two hands go up. Jace and Grayson.
  "Ok I want to be captain of the orange team and Jace, you be captain of the blue team." Grayson says.
  Zane mumbles, "For the youngest kid of this big family, you sure are taking charge."
  Grayson glares at him. "I'm not the youngest, I'm 34 minutes older than Braylon." He says matter of factly.
"Jace you chose first." Parker says.
"Zane."
"Grayson, you go." Jayden says.
"Braydon."
"Tyler."
"Parker."
"Braylon."
"Jayden."
"Ally."
"Amie."
"Ok, my team gets the back yard."
Jace says.
"No way! I want the back yard." Grayson exclaims.
I cut in. "You chose first so we get the back yard." He shoots me a dirty look and mumbles 'fine' under his breath.
"Ok split." Parker says and walks to the front yard. My team follows goes the other way.
Ally comes up beside me. "I know I've played this game before, but just refresh my memory please." I nod and start to explain.
"Ok well, each team gets 3 coolers of water balloons. Each balloon has your team color in it. So we have white water balloons filled with blue paint. And same with the other team except orange paint." I say in one breath.
I keep going.
"The object of the game is to be the last team standing. The pool is directly in the back, right by the fence, as you know. You can eliminate a player by pushing them into the pool. Once they are in, they can't get out until they game is over." I pause letting it sink in.
She looks at me and motions me to go on.
"If you are hit with a balloon, you have to go back to your base and wait for 30 seconds, counting out loud. If you hit anyone or anyone hits you above the shoulders, the person who threw it is out and has to go wait in the pool. You can pick someone up and through them into the pool as well."
I pause for a breather before I continue.
"You can't use the other teams balloons either. That's it, now let's go make a battle plan."
We walk up to our little circle.
"Ok Ally and Braylon, stay in the tree house and over look the battle field. Ally you be look out and Braylon you fire. And switch too." Zane says in a hurry. We look at each other and nod.
"Tyler and I will cut around the side of the house and hide in the bushes then ambush." Jace explains. Tyler nods.
"Zane, you hide along the back fence and hide behind the shed by the corner." Zane licks his lips and grabs a cooler of balloons. He walks quietly to his place. Jace and Tyler get their cooler and walk to the side of the house.
"Jace." I whisper. He turns around. I point to our cooler, then to the tree house. He nods and comes back over, lifts our cooled up on the ladder, then makes his way up to the tree house. He sets it up on the floor than comes back down.
"Thanks." He nods then leaves.
Ally whisper calls me. "Bray. Come on." I look to see her in the tree house.
I make my way up and wait for the signal. I grip a water balloon in each hand. I can see Zane in the corner and nudge Ally. She looks and nods.
'Honk!' The air horns sounds. I keep my gaze sealed on the ground.
   It's a few moments before I see a figure creeping though bushes. Ally nudges me and we whisper,
1
2
3
"Attack!" We scream. We through multiple balloons at the figure. None of them it but two. It was Jayden. One hit him in the knee and the other in the chest. Blue paint splatters his body.
  We quickly ducked. I peeked my head up to see if he's leaving and he's catches my gaze and gives my the middle finger. I give it back.
  "Alright Al, Jayden knows we are up here, so watch the entrance." She nods and moves to guard the entrance.
I look back out to see Parker and Zane trying to get each other into the pool. Out of nowhere Grayson and Braydon ambush them.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Jace and Tyler sprinting toward them.
"Ally, none of them have water balloons. And it's 3 against 3. Let's make its 5 against 3." She looks excited and nods.
We grab as many water balloons as we can. Before I go down I look out to see what's happening. Amie is creeping up along the house with two water balloons. I shout, "Look out!" Then I leave.
We got around the house and go through the garage, each carrying multiple balloons. We open the door and see its 4 on 2. Amie's balloon hit Jace. We sprint out there and throw the balloons. Mine hit Braydon in the back and Grayson right in the stomach. Ally's hit Zane on accident so he had to go back to our base.
So now it's me and Ally vs Amie. The stash of balloons we carried with us were gone. We started to walk toward Amie. We got closer and she started to back up.
We got her to the edge of the pool and we both pushed her in. She landed with a big splash. She surfaces. "That's not fair. You guys can't team up."
I shrug and turn around, looking for Jayden. I don't see him.
I start to walk back to the tree house when I hear a high pitch scream.
"Braylon! Help!" I turn around to see Jayden pick up Ally and hurl her into the pool. She comes up and spits.
She looks at me and mouths one word.
'Run'
That's what I do. I run around the house. I see Grayson coming back from their base and a quick plan forms in my head.
"Grayson!" I shout, sprinting toward him. "Tyler's drowning! His pants got stuck in the pool filter and no ones there!" I feel the wind as he sprints past me, almost colliding with Jayden.
"Woah man, slow down the pools not going anywhere." I hear Jayden tell Grayson. Grayson spits back at him, "Jayden! Tyler is drowning. Let's go."
They both turn around and run to the pool. I jog after them, a little ways behind.
They go to the edge of the pool and I hear, 'where?'
I go up to them and I push them with all of my might. They fall in with a big splash.
I jump up and down in victory. "Yay! Ha-ha I tricked you! I win! Your whole team is in the pool. It's you, Amie, Braydon and Jayden." I tell Grayson when they resurface.
They look at me angry. Then their faces transform into looks of laughter.
Arms snake around my waist and lift me of the ground. I scream, gripping the person who picked me up's neck.
I squirm, but freeze when I hear a deep, male voice.

"But you forgot me, Braylon."
