Brothers

Chapter 8

Noah's POV
"Noah! I can't find Grayson anywhere. Can you hel- oh."

I groan as I hear Alex entering my room. I put my arm over my eyes for a few seconds and try to sit up but realize I can't. Confused, I look and notice that Grayson is asleep on his stomach but laying almost on top of me.

I smile at the sight and gently pet his hair. He groans and turns his head.

"When he wakes up come downstairs for breakfast. I'm making chocolate chip pancakes."

Alex tells me and walks out the door. I feel Grayson stir and slowly opens his eyes.

"What was all that noise?"

He asks me but doesn't sit up.

"It was Alex. He said when you wake up for us to come downstairs cause he's making chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast."

He sits up so fast I thought he was gonna fall down. He smiles so big and his eyes light up.

"Chocolate chip pancakes?!"

He screams and tries to get out of bed. I see his foot getting tangled in the covers.

"Grayson wait!"

But it was too late. He fell but as he fell he hit his head hard on my dresser.
    I hear a sob and then he starts crying loudly. Grayson wails so loud and I was about to get up to comfort him when my door slams open.

"What happened?!"

Alex stops and looks at Grayson. Grayson starts making grabbing motions for Alex.

"Alex!!"

Grayson yells and opens and closes his hands towards him. Alex runs over to him and gently picks him up and starts bouncing him and rubbing his back.

Grayson cries loudly and puts his head on his neck.

"My head hurts! Please make it stop!"

Alex's POV
I just got the pancakes done and was about to get the plates out of the cabinet.
I hear a really loud thud and then immediately someone starts crying.
    My heart sinks knowing it was one of my brothers. I immediately start running upstairs and open Noah's door.

"What happened?!"

I stop and look at Noah as he's on his bed looking very upset. I see Grayson sitting on the floor holding his head and crying very loudly.
        He sees me and starts making grabbing motions at me.

"Alex!"

He yells and my big brother mode kicks in.
I run over to him and pick him up. He wraps his head and arms around me.

"My head hurts! Please make it stop!"

He cries and puts his head on my neck.

"Shhh Grayson shhh..it's alright I'm here now. Shhhh.."

I say and start bouncing him alittle bit and rub my hand back and down on his back.
I look over at Noah and he's watching us sadly.

"What happened Noah?"

I ask Noah since Grayson is too upset to tell me.

"I told him that you're making chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast and he got excited and tried to get off the bed but his leg got tangled in the blanket and he fell and hit his head on my dresser."

"Aww Grayson you need to be more careful next time ok. Before we eat I'll need to put some ice on your head ok?"

I tell him and I felt him nod. I notice that he's not crying anymore and I'm happy about that.

"Alright come on you two lets go downstairs."

I say and Noah gets up and follows us. We get downstairs and Noah starts getting the plates on the table. I walk over to the freezer with Grayson still in my arms and pull out a pack of ice.

"Alright Grayson this will be alittle cold but it'll help the pain go away."

I tell him and sit down on a chair with Grayson on my lap. I gently put the ice on his head and he hisses and jerks alittle but calms down.

Noah puts the pancakes on each of our plates and I turn Grayson around so he can eat. He grabs his fork and knife and tries to cut his pancakes.

"Ugh!"

He groans and slams down his fork and knife. Noah looks up in shock

"I can't cut it cause of this stupid ice!"

He yells. I sigh and calm him down.

"It's alright Grayson. Just hold that ice on your head and I'll cut your pancakes then you can take if off."

I tell him and he agrees. I start cutting up his pancakes.
     I finally get down and tell him to take off the ice.

"Finally"
he huffs and grabs his fork and starts to eat. Noah and I smile at him and continue to eat our food.

"So what do you guys wanna do today?"

I ask them and Noah shrugs.

"I wanna go to the park!"

Grayson yells excitedly and looks up at me. I chuckle

"Are you Okay with that Noah?"
    I ask him and he nods.
"Okay we'll go after we eat breakfast and I'll pack us some sandwiches and drinks."

Grayson nods and smiles.
   Soon we get done eating and I tell them to go get dressed and ready to go. They walk upstairs to get ready and I go and start making sandwiches.

I make a  ham and cheese sandwich for Grayson cause that's he's favorite sandwich. I make a ham, turkey and cheese sandwich for Noah and I make myself a BLT sandwich.

I put the sandwiches in paper bags and pack some drinks for us. I hear them coming downstairs

"We're ready Alex!"

I hear Grayson yell. I walk out of the kitchen and to the living room. I grab my keys and wallet.

"Okay let's go!"
     I say and we all walk out the door and head towards the park.
