Oh Brother

A regular sunday

Ethan's POV

"She's literally having a panic attack and that's all you care about?" Grayson yells at me.

'He's right. All you care about is yourself.'

I look back to bailey who's eyes are fluttering shut as she collapses to the ground.

"Fuck! Bailey!" I yell dropping to the ground beside her.

"This is all your fault Ethan!" Grayson sneers at me.

'He's not wrong. It is your fault.
Your little sister could be dead, and it would be your fault.'

"Grayson shut up and help!" I yell from the ground.

I try to take a deep breath as I clench my jaw.

Stay calm. Don't listen to him.

"If we put her back into her room she'll wake up again in her own time." I say, trying to remain calm. Grayson just shakes his head at me he launches at me and pins me to the ground. He raises up a fist when I hear our front door click as my head snaps up.
The door swings open as Grayson throws himself off me.

"Mom?? What are you doing home so early?" Grayson chokes out.

Shit.

"I always finish early on Sunday's." She says while closing the door behind her.

Her attention turns to me. She drops her bags as she runs over.

"What happened with Bailey?" She says frantically as she drops down beside her.

Grayson looks at me as I look at him.

"What do we do?" I mouth.

"Bailey honey wake up!" Mom calls while holding her face.

She turns around while looking at me then back to Grayson.

"What happened to her boys? I told you that you have to be careful with her sometimes!" She frowns. Grayson scratches the back of his neck as he clears his throat.

"She was uhh-." Grayson seems stuck so I interrupt him.
"She was in the kitchen and then all of a sudden just... fainted." I lie on the spot.

She frowns as she looks closer at Bailey.

"Well then we have to take her to the doctors!" Mom says concerned. I look up at Grayson who shares the same worried look as me.

"No!" I spit out. She turns around and frowns at me with a confused look on her face.

"You can't take her to the doctors because..."

All of a sudden Bailey snaps awake as her eyes flutter open. I let out a sigh of relief.
Mom grabs her shoulders.

"Bailey are you ok sweetie?" She says calmly.  To which she nods a reply, she seems very out of it.

"What happened?" Mom says helping her up. My heart starts racing again. Baileys eyes travel to me.

Baileys POV

"You can't take her to the doctors..."

I hear a voice in the distance, light starts to come back to me as my eyes open.

I see my mom leaning over me.

"Bailey are you ok..."
I zone back out before she can finish.
I nod my head in response. She grabs my shoulders snapping me back to reality.

"What happened?" She asks as she helps me back up from the ground.

What did happen?
Where am I?
How long was I passed out for?

It all starts coming back to me again as I look at Ethan. He drags his thumb across his neck, indicating not to tell mom about the incident. I shudder as I turn back to her.

"I-I just fainted, I hadn't eaten much T-t-today... that's probably why." I try to reassure her.

I wasn't lying, I hadn't ate since last night. But I knew If I told her about what happened with my brothers and why I actually fainted...
they'd kick my ass.

She seems concerned as she frowns.
"Mm okay then, make sure you eat some dinner tonight." She says while rubbing my shoulder.

"I will." I fake a smile as I stand to my feet.

"I'm just gonna go and finish some homework." I mumble as I walk up the stairs.

"Ok call me if you need anything!" Mom calls back.

"Don't faint again B-b-Billy ." Ethan's voice sneers up the stairs.

What was his problem?

And In that very moment I hated them.
I hated my brothers.
