my brother's bestfriend

21

As I get home I see my parents aren't home.. Again. Why are they always gone? It's already 11 at night and they still haven't called to see where I've been.

I unlock the front door and wave goodbye to Joey. I get into the kitchen and grab a bowl and begin to chop up strawberries.

"Fuck!" the door slams and Justin storms into the kitchen and opens the fridge.

"What's up with you" I laugh at the angered little boy stuffing food into his mouth.

As he looks up to me I notice his bruised eye. Just then Harry walks into the room, following him like a lost puppy.

"Is anyone going to tell me what the hell happened to your eye?" I grab ahold of his head and study his eye. He winces and squeezes it shut.

"He got into a fight" Harry says as he grabs some ice from the freezer and wraps it in a blanket of paper towel. Before I can ask why Harry opens his mouth again, "Some dick, Liam started to call him out. He pushed him and shit, Justin told him to calm down, but the fucker was so wasted he didn't listen. He just wanted to fight someone and it happened to be your brother."

What? Why my brother out of any body. Everybody loves Justin. He's smart, funny, and nice.

"Are you okay?" I turn my attention to my brother that is in pain. He slowly nods.

"Come, let me help you to your room." I grab his arm and slowly walk him to the stairs, careful not to allow him to trip on anything because he's already limping. He stops in his tracks and keeps his head low.

"Justin?" I tug and he collapses, "Justin!"

I look up to Harry and worry flashes all over his face. He quickly runs over to my brother and lifts him up. Harry winces from the sudden weight but quickly shakes it off and walks towards the couch.

"What the hell happened? Is he okay? How could he just collapse out of nowhe-"

"I don't know okay? Calm down Crystal i'm just as worried as you are." Harry cuts me off as he lays Justin on the couch and dials a number onto his phone.

Minutes later the ambulance arrive and take Justin into the truck. Lights flash in my face as I watch the truck leave with my own brother.

"Chris, common" Harry tugs at me and opens the door to his car. I jump in and he speeds to the hospital.

Once we get into the waiting room the doctors tell us we cannot come in until the examination was over.

"Fuck" Harry sighs and lays his head onto his hands.

"Is he going to be alright?" I ask the doctor. He looks back down to his clipboard and back up to me.

"I'm not so sure. We called your parents, they should be here any minute. I'll make sure to give you as much info as I can." he smiles and turns on his heel. Leaving me with Harry.

Harry checks the time what feels to be every 10 seconds. His tapping foot is annoying the hell out of me.

"Could you calm down" I snap and look over to Harry. He doesn't reply, instead he takes a seat on the cold plastic chair behind him.
