Oh Brother

Favourites

I grab Brandon's wrist, as I open my closet door and push him in shutting the door behind me.

I walk to my door as I unlock it.

Ethan barges in.

He sits on my bed next to me.
Grayson walks in mumbling on about some nonsense as he leans against the closet.
My eyes widened as my heart starts to race.

Ethan grabs my face with 2 hands and turns my head to face him.

"Who's your favourite brother? Because this fuck head thinks it's him?" He interrogates, as he motions towards a angry looking Grayson.
I let out a sigh of relief.
All of this commotion over this? Seems about right.

"I like you both equally, I don't have a favour-."
Ethan cuts me off

"Oh cut the shit," he growls as I jump.
"Who's. your. favourite?" He says still holding my head in between his hands
I look at Grayson then back to Ethan.

"Y-you are" I murmur as I look away from his eyes.
Ethan's face instantly lights up as he lets me go before messing up my hair.

"Damn straight I am." He smirks, as he flips Grayson off. Grayson rolls his eyes

"Whatever." he mumbles as he storms out.
"Gray" I say sympathetically

He ignores me as he shuts the door behind him.
I leap up to the closet as I pull Brandon back up.
He grins at me.
"Sorry about that" I mumble

"Ethan's you're favourite? Doesn't he pick on you more then Grayson and treat you worse? And.."
I cut him off.
"Ok! I get it, yes he does treat me worse but... there's a deeper meaning as to why he's my favourite.." I whisper.
He gives me a confused look.
"Long story, but I pretty much owe him my life." I say while ushering him out the window.

Flashback
The twins are 14 Bailey is 10

Ethan's pov
"Yes!" I yell jumping out of my seat on the couch.
Grayson throws his hands up in the air.
"Why do you always win?" He whines, as he throws his controller onto the coffee table.

I put down my video game controller. Gray and I had been playing for a good 2 hours.

I tap my finger on my lips
"Hmm maybe because I'm better?" I grin.

Today was a Saturday, usually by this time everyone's awake but I haven't heard a sound from Bailey.

"I'll be back, im gonna go check on Bailey." I say as I start to walk towards the stairs.

"Be nice!" Grayson calls back. I scoff as I turn around.

"What are you talking about? I'm always nice to my little sister." I smirk.
Grayson erupts in laughter.

"Yeah, you're right" he says sarcastically.

I roll my eyes as I continue to walk Up the stairs.

"Billlllyyyyy" I sing. As I walk towards her door.

No answer.

"Bailey?" I open her door to find her not in her room. I step inside as I look around.
I walk over to her bed and pull back her sheets. No ones there.

I run out her room and down the hall way.
"Bailey?" I call again, puzzled.

I look in Grayson and I's bedroom, no Bailey.

The bathroom, no Bailey.

I start to freak out as I run back down the stairs.

I clear my throat.

"Yo, have you seen bailey this morning?" I say trying to sound calm.

Grayson looks up from his phone.

"Yeah I think she went outside."

I quickly walk to our back door as I swing it open and step outside.

"Bailey?" I yell for the 100th time. No answer

I look around the yard as my eyes meet with the pool. My heart starts to beat faster then ever.
She knows how to swim, right?

I run over to the pool as I search over the water and soon find a body.

"Oh shit-." I yell as I dive in the pool.

The body was Bailey. I bring her up to the surface, taking a deep breath.
For the first time since our dad left us,

I started to cry.

I pull her body out of the water onto the concrete next to the pool.

Her face was starting to turn blue, she was soaked in water and her eyes were closed.
"Shit" I yell.

"Grayson! Gray?" I scream from the pool.

I look down at bailey.

I should've treated her better. She could be dead now.

I snap out of my thoughts as I check her pulse.

My dad had taught me how to do CPR a couple of months ago in case of situations like these.

I tilt her head back and check for breathing. I create a seal over her mouth as I blow in.
I place my hands together as I push down on her chest.
"Cmon B." I sob
I push down again.

"Please, please don't leave me." I whisper

I push down an 11th time

Suddenly, she takes a gasp for air as she coughs up water. Her eyes open as she starts breathing again.

"Bailey!" Grayson screams as he runs from the back door.

"Bailey are you ok?" I spit out, as I grab her shoulders.

She sits up coughing and gasping for air.

I start to cry even more. I quickly wipe away my tears.

"I- I thought you were dead, I thought I was never gonna see you again." I sniffle as I smile at her.

Grayson runs over to us.

"What happened?"

"I was walking near the pool and I slipped and hit my head as I fell in.. and then everything went dark" she says while shaking.

Grayson's eyes start to tear up.

"Don't ever do that again." he sobs
"You scared the shit out of me." I add, wiping my eyes.

I wrap my arms around my sister as Grayson joins in.

"I love you so much bailey." I whisper into her ear.

"Cmon let's get you inside to get changed." Grayson sniffles as he picks her up wedding style.

A bit of a long chapter for you guys!
If you couldn't tell the flash back is why Ethan is Baileys favourite brother! ❤️
