He Is My Brother (Oli and Tom Sykes)

Chapter 1

I woke up really early to hear Oli calling me from his room next door to mine. I grabbed my phone and looked to see what time it was. 5 o'clock... Was he serious? I got up and grabbed my dressing gown and put on a shirt before nearly falling over a guitar as I sleepily wondered over to my bedroom door. "This better be good" I moaned as I walked into Oli's bedroom where I found him laughing at his computer screen.

"Come watch this. come watch this!" He yelled grabbing my arm and pulling me down to watch. I looked confusingly at the computer screen as a man dressed as a fox asked "What does the fox say?" I tilted my head to one side not knowing what to make of it as he started to dance around making strange sounds. This continued for about 3 minuets until it finally finished and Oli continued browsing the internet. I was still star struck from the crap Oli had woke me up at five in the morning to watch.

I wandered over to his bed and kind of collapsed onto it. After about five minuets Oli asked me what time it was and I replied "Just past five why?"

"Shit, I have a studio session I need to go to sleep!" He rolled me to the side of the bed and lay down next to me. Every so often he would turn over and hit me in the face. Sometimes harder than others, but I didn't care. He was my brother and whenever I got the chance I would hang around with him. But now he was a huge rock star the time we spent together was ever growing shorter.

I didn't dream much after I fell asleep again. It was a pretty peaceful little rest before I was woken up by Oli's load alarm clock. We both wandered down stairs to get some food. Our mum and dad where still fast asleep as they didn't have anything to do today. After Oli had had his coffee he was wide awake considering he only had about 4 hours sleep.

He left pretty quickly. He was probably late as usual. I had nothing really to do as it was Sunday so I decided to make sure all my schoolwork was done and head out around town.

I texted my best friend Cameron asking him if he wanted to come too. After about 10 minuets I set off to meat Cam in town.

I was just getting onto the bus when I saw a not so pleasant familiar face. It was Dan Carter, one of the popular boys from my school. I sat on the furthest seat away from him as possible but I turned around to see him and another boy whispering and pointing at me. I flipped my head back and looked forward, trying not to think about it. I put in my headphones and listened to You Me At Six to hopefully make the journey go a little quicker.

I got of the bust quickly not bothering to look back to see what Dan and his friend where doing now. As I stepped around the corner towards the town centre I smelt the sent that was very familiar and pleasant to me. It smelt like sweet honey and coffee. I looked up and saw the face of Cameron I'm front of me. "Hey Cam!" I yelled throwing my arms round him maybe a little to excitedly.
"Hey up bud" he said slowly backing off so that we could walk into the shopping centre.

We found Starbucks like we did most weekends and sat down with a coffee and a Millie's cookie.
"How is you weekend so far?" Cam asked after about 5 comfortable silent minuets.
"Good so far except Oli woke me up at 5 in the morning to make me watch some crazy YouTube video!" I laughter sipping at the last of my coffee and eating the last of my cookie. Cam gave a little smirk and shook his head.
"Kids these days" he said even though he knew that Oli was older than I was.

Cameron ate the last off his cookie then he stood up giving the hint that we could leave now. We both walked side by side around the shopping centre until we came to an exit and a bus stop. We said a quick goodbye and I hopped on the next bus home.

I got home and sat on the sofa flicking through the channels until I got to the news. I was soon greeted by a face I knew. The face that I would have to go and bail out of jail any second. Oli had decided to steal from one of his fans. Great.

I arrived at the local jail tutting as I saw Oli sitting in the corner of his sell laughing. "I take it you saw the news then" he said, you could hear the alcohol in his voice. I grabbed his arm and apologised to the officers as I helped Oli round a few bends back to our house.

When we got back Oli collapsed on the floor in the hallway. It served him right for getting so drunk. I left him there to deal with his own hangover that he would wake up to the next day.

I looked at my phone and seeing that it was almost 11 I got into bed as I knew I would have to get up early for school the next day.

I wasn't scared about going back to school but I was about to become more than scared of it.
