The tale of two brothers

Chapter 8- What?

Isaiah's Pov:

"Excuse me?" I looked up and met his gaze. 

"I asked if you were gonna eat.." he frowned slightly and I shook my head, pushing my tray towards him.

"No...I'm not that hungry..and plus, you look like you need it more than I do." I joked, Lying straight to his face. 

"Isaiah." The concern in his voice made me freeze, my heart stopping 'HE' S TRYING TO KILL ME-' I screeched in my mind.

"Y-Yes?" I breathed, my breath caught in my throat. 

"You need to eat something- you look sick-" he frowned and I glared at him.

 "I'm perfectly fine." I felt my heart clench with guilt as he flinched at my tone. "I'm sorry, I was just trying to help-" 

"And I said I'm fine." I snarled and stood. 

He sighed shakily "I-I'm sorry- I didn't mean to offend you.." 

I relaxed slightly and looked back at him "Xan." He looked up, his eyes sparkling with hope "Yes?" 

I offered him a genuine smile "it's fine.."

Elijah's Pov: 

I sighed as May stared at me in disbelief "wait- you have a brother?!" She squeaked again.

"Yes, May- I've told you this like, five times! " I huffed and looked away. 

"Oh- right, Sorry.." she mumbled and looked down. I frowned softly and sighed "I'm sorry.. " 

"It's fine- I just- you had never told me you had a brother before! And that he's insane!" 

I shook my head "he's not insane...or- at least I don't believe he is...I know that he's still in there somewhere.." I sighed shakily and blinked away the tears that threatened to form

she frowned and put her hand on my knee lightly, her gaze soft and comforting. 

"Then why is he in a mental hospital?"
