Just stay out of my life!"

"Fine!"

Alex groans and sighs. What happened this time? I wonder. Alex gets up and walks towards his brothers bedroom. He opens the door and sees his youngest brother crying his heart out in his pillow.

"Grayson what's wrong?"

Alex asks him while sitting down beside him. Grayson cries harder when he hears him. Alex sighs and rubs his back and gently grabs him under his arms and sits him up. Grayson tries to get away but Alex just tightens his grip.

Grayson looks down while crying knowing he can't get away from his oldest brother.
Alex notice this and puts his hand under his chin and makes him look at him.

"Grayson please tell me what's wrong? I heard you and Noah yelling at eachother and I know it has to be something since you're crying in here. And I know Noah would be comforting you if he knows you're crying."

Grayson scoffs when he hears the last part "like he would care.." Grayson whispers to himself but unfortunately Alex hears that.

"What? What do you mean that he wouldn't care? Noah loves you so much Grayson you're his little brother."

Grayson's lips starts to wobble
"He..he told me that he hates me.."

"Why did he say that?"

Grayson just shrugs. Alex sighs and wipes his tears from his face and tugs him onto his lap. Grayson stiffened at first but slowly relaxed and melts into his brothers arm. Grayson puts his head on his chest and sighs. Alex hugs him and kisses his head gently.

"I just asked him to play with me and he said no so I asked why and then..he just got really mad and started shouting at me and then...-sniffs- then he said he hated me and pushed me outside the door and slammed it infront of my face.."

After Grayson finished he bursted into tears again and wrapped his arms around Alex's neck and hides his face and cries.

After hearing what Grayson said Alex got really concerned..Noah would always play with Grayson when he wanted to..so why now? Why would he say that to him? Surely there must be something going on with Noah.

A chocked sob from Grayson got Alex away from his thoughts. Alex looks down at his youngest and sighs sadly.

"Hey..shhh Grayson shh calm down..I'm sure he doesn't hate you. He loves you very much. I'm not sure why he would say that but I'll figure it out okay..shhh baby shhhh.."

Alex tells him and gently rocks him back and forth in his arms. After what seemed like hours Grayson finally fell asleep in Alex's arms. Alex rocks him alittle more and softly lays him down in bed and covers him up. He kisses his forehead and turns off the light and walks out the door. He walks over to Noah's door and knocks before going in.

"Hey..can we talk?"

Alex asks and Noah just shrugs. Alex sighs and walks in and shuts the door. He walks over to his bed and sits down beside him.

"...Grayson cried himself to sleep just now. He said that you hated him..what happened?"

Noah sighs and looks down.

"Honestly..I don't know. I don't know what happened to me today. I was just angry and I took it out on Grayson when he didn't even do anything.."

Alex sighs and looks at him. Noah looks close to tears and Alex hates that. He pulls him close and hugs him and that's when Noah starts crying.

"I..I'm sorry Alex! Grayson thinks that I hate him and I don't I really don't!"

Alex rocks him just like he did with Grayson.

"Shh..I know you don't hate him Noah. I even tried telling Grayson that and he still thinks you hate him."

Noah sniffs and slowly calms down.

"I.. I have to go and apologize to him."

He stands up and goes towards his door.

"Wait" Alex calls out

"Grayson is asleep right now."

Noah looks at him sadly

"But Alex I really need to apologize to him. He can go back to sleep after I talk to him..please?"

Alex sighs and thinks about it.

"Well...alright that's fine."

Noah smiles "Thanks" and walks out the door.

Noah opens the door to his brothers bedroom and sighs sadly when he sees him. He walks over to him and gently sits down and touches his face where the tear stains are at. Grayson groans when he feels like and slowly opens his eyes. He sees Noah and tears start to form.

"No don't cry Grayson please don't cry. I'm sorry"

Noah tells him sadly.

"Do you..do you really hate me?"

Grayson asks while sitting up.

"No! I could never hate you kiddo. I was just angry today and I let it out on you and I had no reason to. I..I'm really sorry Grayson pleas forgive me.."

Grayson looks at him and thinks. Noah does look really sincere and he does sound like he's really sorry for what he did. Grayson slowly crawls towards him. Noah sees this and opens his arms.
Grayson smiles and jumps into his lap and wraps his arms around his neck and hides his face in his neck.

"I'm really sorry Grayson. I love you so much I could never ever hate you. You're my baby brother and I have to protect you and today I was so mean to you. I promise that won't ever happen again. I love you so much baby brother."

Grayson smiles hearing all of this. So his big brother does love him after all. Alex was right Noah could never hate his little brother.

"I love you too Noah. You're my big brother I'm always gonna love you..and Alex."

Noah smiles hearing that and pulls him away at arms length and kisses his head.

"So we're good now?"

Noah asks and Grayson smiles big and nods.

"Yes we're always good!"

Noah grins and pulls him close again and hugs him tight.

Oh how much he loves his baby brother.
