It's Your Imagination

Brother and Sister - Sad/Love

 

You were in the kitchen cooking dinner for you and your brother, Nick since your parents were on a date night, so you were in charge of your 14 year old brother. “Nick! Dinner is done!” You yelled out, dishing out some macaroni in a bowl for both of you. “ One minute!” he yelled back. You set both dishes down with a class of fruit punch. “Hey Jess” He smiled and sat in the seat across from you. “Hey” you smiled back and took a spoonful of mac and cheese in your mouth. “How was school?” you asked after swallowing. He took a drink of his punch and frowned a bit, spacing off for half a second. He then smiled up and said “Oh fine, grades are good and I have to study for a test that I have tomorrow.” He said finishing his mac and cheese. “That’s good, well I better let you study then!” You said as you got up and grabbed both of your dishes. “Yeah, I’ll get too it..” he mumbled quietly then ran up to his room.

An hour has passed since Nick went upstairs to study and you have just been cleaning around the house and watching TV. You decided to go upstairs to check on Nick. You walk up to his bedroom and knock on his door. “ Nick? How’s the studying going on?” you ask him, not wanting to barge in and interrupt him, but there is no answer. “Nick?” You knock again, still no answer. You slowly open his door, not wanting to interrupt anything he is doing. But when you open the door fully, he is not there. “Nick?!” You start to panic. You then hear quiet sobs coming from his bathroom. “Nicholas?” You say softly, inching closer to the bathroom door. “Why can’t I be like everyone else? Why can’t I be happy?” you hear him whispering to himself. Why isn’t he happy? Hearing him say all of these things about himself make your chest hurt. You crack open the bathroom door a little bit to see what he is doing. Once you do you see a puddle of blood. You suddenly gasp and take a step back. What is he doing to himself? You think to yourself. Suddenly you feel the urge to run up and hug your little brother until the pain stops; he means the world to you. You quietly knock on the door and open it slightly to see Nick’s broken figure sitting fetus position in front of the sink with a razor in his hand.

“Nick!” you say aloud. Scaring him, he jumps up and drops the razor. “What. Are. You. Doing?” You say, trying so hard not to cry. “You don’t understand, Jess. School is miserable.” He cries out, trying to reach for the sharp object he was holding moments before. Just as he was about the grab it, you snatched it from the ground, being careful not to cut yourself, you set it down on the sink and sit next to your hurt brother. “Nicky. What’s wrong?” you ask him in a soft voice. “I… I’m bullied at school, no one likes me, Mom and dad are always away on business trips or they just aren’t here and I don’t like telling people my problems because I feel like they think I’m being annoying and… And… I can’t do it anymore, Jess… I’m broken. And I need help…”

“Oh.. Baby, you don’t need to feel that way! I am always here for you! I will never judge you under ANY circumstances!” you exclaim, pulling him into a tight bear hug. He continues to cry into your shoulder as you run your fingers through his hair. “Come on.” You say, getting up and standing. “What?” he asked you in a hoarse voice. “Let’s get you cleaned up and then we’ll go out for ice cream” You smile at him, holding your hand out for him to take. “Awesome” he smiles back, taking your hand and standing up. You help him clean off all the blood from his arms and put bandages over them as much as you can. You write a quick note for your parents letting you know where you guys went, just in case if they came back before you did.

You got into the driver seat and waited for Nick to finish putting his shoes on, after about 2 minutes he runs out and gets into the passenger seat. You guys ride in silence for the ride there until you finally get to Dairy Queen. You park the car and sit there for a minute in silence. “Thank you.” Nick suddenly says, catching you off guard, you look at him confused. “For what?” you ask him. “For saving my life” He smiles at you and you pull him in for a hug. “ I love you Nick, nothing could change that” You say in his ear. “You’re the best sister ever” He lightly chuckes.
