being the little brother.

vacation.(1)

Jays POV
"What do you mean I don't look out for him!! If anything you should be doing that your the oldest!!"
"But your closer to him every day! You have a class with him because your so dumb!" It was 4:30. 4:30 and all my brothers were doing was shouting. About me. Of course it's about me.
The doorbell went of and it all went quite. The sound of muffled voices came from downstairs but I couldn't quite make out what they were saying. Then I heard a nock on my door.
"Come in" I replied not noticing how shaky my voice was.
"Hey JJ. Sorry for waking you up." I saw Sam and Jake tiptoe into my room. Sam brought his hand to my face, wiping away the tears I hadn't realised were falling from my face.
"You okay jay?" I nodded slowly and claimed back under my covers. I still had a headache after being thrown in the trash can yesterday. That's what my brothers were arguing about. At school they tend to avoid me and they often feel bad about it but they never really act on it.
"Jay. JJ bud. Can you hear me" I hadn't realised I'd almost fully fallen into slumber.
"Just let me sleep" I saw Erik's face in front of mine now instead and he whispered in my ear knowing that my head hurt.
" just stay awake a little longer. Now you know is Christmas soon and how were breaking up from school tomorrow "I nodded and I was relieved when my head didn't throb.
" well we've decided to go on holiday. Not far just to a small cabin by a lake a few miles away " my eyes grew wide in excitement until they
Dullend again. We don't have enough money for that. We can hardly afford a new couch let alone a Holiday. Sam obviously saw my worry and came a but closer and said,
"What's wrong JJ?"
"We don't have the money"
"We've been saving up mate. We all need a vacation so why not" I smiled again before falling into a peaceful sleep.

Erik's POV.
"What do you mean I don't look out for him!! If anything you should be doing that your the oldest!!" I was furious. Little JJ was found in a bin yesterday and none of us even tried to see if he was alright or help him. All of us passed him in the corridor. But now were all blaming each other and probably waking up J in the process.
"But your closer to him every day! You have a class with him because your so dumb!" This was directed at me. It's true I had to redo a year in math and history but that doesn't make me dumb.
I was about to retaliate when the doorbell went of. Curse they m these carol singers. I ran to open the Door when I was greeted by our old neighbours. They started telling me random shit like
"Don't you know there other people in this world" and "now keep the noise down or else" I was deciding whether to say "or else what" but I thought I wouldn't push my luck.
As I was waking back up stairs I thought what a great time to go on holiday. Just relax. Get away from, everything. From school and from all the stress.
I walked up to find an empty hallway and JJ's door open. I walked in to find Jake waving his hand in front of Jay who's eyes were open but who looked completely asleep. He came to his senses so I moved " just stay awake a little longer. Now you know is Christmas soon and how were breaking up from school tomorrow "i whispered in his ear knowing his head was still hurting. He nodded so I continued
" well we've decided to go on holiday. Not far just to a small cabin by a lake a few miles away" of course the others hadn't agreed but I knew Sammy would already be in and Jake wants a break so I was just hoping.
I looked over at J who's eyes were wide with excitement. It was great seeing him so happy. I now Jay doesn't live the best life and he's not the happiest kid. In fact thinking about it now we probably don't pay enough attention to him.
Sam suddenly looked worried and moved closer also talking to Jay.
"What's wrong JJ?"
"We don't have the money"
"We've been saving up mate. We all need a vacation so why not"
We had been saving up for years now. It was originally for future plans so we don't end up homeless but were 4 teenagers what do you expect.
Jay had fallen asleep so we all decided to go to bed. Me and Sam sleep in a joined room were Jake used to sleep but he now had mum and dads room. I got into my bed and after about 3 minutes I felt the foot of my bed drop. I looked up and there was Sam looking on the verge of tears.
"Wassup Sammy boy?"
" do you think we treat the kid right? I mean he's already 13 and he's been through so much." I wasn't really in the mood to correct the slight age mishap. I didn't want Sam full on bawling on me is 5 am.
"Bud. I know you feel useless but we can't change the past now get some sleep okay."

Jays POV
It's finally the weekend and I've already packed. I've packed my two t-shirts, my swimming trunks, 2 jeens, a cap, a jumper, some glasses and some undies. I can't wait. I ran up to the bus and hop on. As son as I get home I jump onto Jakes back and stuff my head into his neck.
"Hey bud" I mumbled a hey back into his shoulder.
"Get of that tickles" he laughed. I jumped of his back and ran upstairs to get my bag.
When I came back down they were all scurrying around looking for something.
"What are y'all looking for?"
"Money for the train" Sam said as he shoved his hands down the couch. "Eeeww. Who left pizza down there?" I walked over to a pot on the windowsill were I put spare pennies when I find them around the house and emptied it into my hand. I counted them and came to a sum of £6:79.
"Um, does this help?"
"How much?" Jake asks without looking up.
"£6:79"
"Okay I have £7:34, Erik?"
"£4:58."
"£2:47." I chuckled a bit at Sam's attempt. I did the maths in my head and it added up to £21:18.
"£21:18. Is that enough. That should be enough for 3 of us seeing as tickets cost 7 pounds leaving us with £6:94 pence to collect."
"Jeez little buddy quick maths. Okay let's keep looking if we could all find 2 quid each that would be great" we started looking again and Jake ran upstairs then reappearing a few minutes later with £7.89. We then set of and walked to the train station.
It wasn't a long walk but I hadn't eaten all day and I had to stop multiple times to take my inhaler. My brothers ended up taking my bag and taking it in turns to carry it. Finally we arrived. I ended up standing. It was either that or take Erik's place next to a couple vigorously making out. Someone was filming it. They were probably going to post it on YouTube later or something. It was quite funny watching Erik being yanked around uncontrollably. His face though was priceless, he was absolutely discusted but he was trying to hide it but failing miserably. About half way through jake decided to replace Erik but now looked as if he was completely regretting his decision. I looked at him and laughed. He wasn't even trying to hide his disgust.
Finally it was our stop and the other boys practically ran of and in the process the twins left there bag. I quickly grabbed all the bags and followed them of. At fist I couldn't see any of my brothers, they were lost in the crowd until I heard the load speakers asking for a short jinger boy wandering around without his 4 brothers. They then asked if I could come to the main reception. I made my way up there pushing through the sea of people. I finally made my way to the main reception then finding my brothers waiting with worried expressions on there faces.
"Oh thank God you got our bags"
"Nice to see you to big bro.
We then started walking to our new destination.

Hey. Sorry about the mixup in tenses I've never really been that great at keeping it in the right tense. I also apologize for my terrible spelling.
Jay.
