Later...
Riker POV
I was watching some tv with my siblings when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and found Jeff standing behind me, looking really nervous.
"Hey. You ok?" I asked, quietly.
"C-can I p-please t-talk to y-you?"
"Yeah, of course."
I got up, and we went up to our bedroom.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I-I um a-accidentally k-knocked over your c-cup of w-water on t-the f-floor."
"Oh..."
"A-am I in t-trouble!?"
"No, of course not... We can just put a towel down and put something heavy on it to soak up the water. It's fine. It'll dry eventually."
I got a towel, put it on the water spot, and put one of my textbooks on top.
"It'll probably be dry by tonight. It's fine," I said, trying to calm his nerves.
Jeff still looked extremely nervous.
"Anything else?" I asked.
"N-no..."
"How was your nap?"
"Uh... I-it was f-fine..."
"Alright... Well you slept through lunch. Dinner is in about an hour. But if you're hungry, you can have a snack. Are you hungry at all?"
"N-no..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, R-Riker..."
"You know, you don't need to be scared around me. I know you don't really know me, but I'm your twin brother, and I would never hurt you. I don't know what exactly you've gone through, but I promise, if you need anything at all, or you need to talk, you can come to me."
"T-thanks, R-Riker..."
"No problem... Can I have a hug?"
"Um... Ok..."
I gently pulled him to me in a hug. He seemed really tense though.
We pulled apart, and he sat down on his mattress.
"So um... mom wants me to take you either tonight or tomorrow to the mall to get some things. Just like the basics, like a toothbrush, and some new clothes and stuff. So... Do you want to go tonight or tomorrow?"
"T-tomorrow."
"Ok. Sounds good. Also, mom enrolled you at school, and your first day is Monday."
"S-school!?"
"Yeah. You have a bunch of classes with me. I think you only have 2 alone."
Jeff seemed to be panicking a little.
"Jeff, what's wrong?"
"S-school..."
"What about school?"
He pulled his legs up to his chest.
"Jeff, come on. Please tell me."
