                                              Why is it that a siblings love is unconditional? The teasing, the annoying and constant bickering would suggest enemies. Though for some odd reason a brother's love will forever be there. Through thick and thin, good and bad. He would always be there.
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          "So how are you feeling today?" Will asked drifting  into his brother's hospital room and checking his vitals. "Vitals are good, pressures stable." 

                          "I'm okay, just have to get through the marathon headaches and I'm done!" Jay exclaimed. He had perked up in the past few days. Going through hours of involuntary shaking, sweating, and cold flashes he was finally back to the Jay, Will had grown up to love. 
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          Four year old Jay ran into the kitchen holding a small mouse in his minuscule hands. A huge smile spread across his toddler like features as he presented the squirming mouse to his older brother.
                          "Look Will I gotta mouse!" He exclaimed the excitement apparent in his high pitched voice. 
                          "Ew, put it down Jay." Will responded, a disgusted look on his face. "PUT IT DOWN!" He yelled slapping the small hand with his own causing Jay to drop the mouse. The mouse scurried away and into the small house in canaryville. "Oh my god mom is going to kill you. You dropped the mouse inside."
                          "You hit my hand. What do we do Will?" A nervous voice asked trembling at the thought of their mother finding out. "WILL?" He yelled. 
                          "Calm down, calm down. We'll find it. Okay, just help me find it before mom figures it out." 
                          "Okay," and so the search for the missing mouse went on until finally Will spotted the tiny creature. 
                          "How do we kill it?" Jay asked holding onto Will's side. Will shook his head. 
                          "I not going to kill it. Just catch it and put it back outside." Jay did as he was told catching the small mouse in his little hands with one quick movement. "Okay now put it outside." Will said as they walked barefooted to the porch where Jay released the mouse.
                          "Thank you." Jay said giving Will a huge hug. 
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          "Thank you for always being there for me." Jay said as he pulled his red haired brother into a tight hug. "It... it means a lot." 
                          "Hey bro, you always have me. No matter what, I'm here." Will responded patting Jay's back and releasing the tender hold. 
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          Through thick and thin, Good and bad,hate and love. A brother is there. There for the other, helping him through whatever he is going through. Even if the help is small, it is always there. Just like a brother, he's always there.
