My brother my dentists

Chap: 2 - Alone

The next few weeks went by without any problems. What happened had made my brothers and I closer than ever before. We really did only have each other. But like always something always had to steal the happiness from me. And this time it came like a hit in the chest.

I got home from school drained of emotion and so ready to sleep for the first time in god knows how long. I opened the door to see Grey and Conon looking worried. "Hey Dekoda, why don't you take a seat", Grey mumbled. I stood there confused but dropped my bag as Conons hand pushed me slowly towards the couch.

Once I was face to face with my brothers they both dropped their heads and wiggled about in their seats, Something was seriously wrong and i hadn't seen them this way since mum and dad died. "Well what's up" I spoke up trying to sound brave, my voice deceived me and fear shun through.

They glanced at each other before Greyson says

"Koda ummm, so Conon and I are getting deployed to South Sudan to take part in the war, ermm we won't be back for around a year"

I didn't know what to do, at first I just sat there then I think I started to shake because Conons hand was on my leg holding it down. Then the waterworks started and I couldn't contain myself.

"Who will look after me" I sobbed

"Well Scotts mum next door said you can stay there and she'll look after you and whatever you need"

Scott was my best friend but I wanted my brothers, I ran up the stairs to my room and cried till my head hurt. Until I couldn't cry anymore.

At around 10pm Greyson knocked and came in. He sat next to me and placed his hand softly on the small of my back. I leaned into his touch but I was still kinda mad at them. I knew they signed up for the army like my eldest brother Murphy but I didn't know it would take them this soon.

"It'll be ok Koda" grey sighed

"I know im just scared to be alone,  just lost so many people" I cried

"Yea I know and i'm sorry, I really really am, but you will never really be alone"

I sat there in silence for a bit then said

"So when do you leave"

"Next week" He looked down

I just sat there too numb to complain.

The days of the week crept by as I spent the week with my brothers. With two days till their deployment, they told me they wanted to check my teeth before they went away. I was nervous about this but I would do it for them. Today was the day and it was around 7pm Greyson came to fetch me and knocked on the door before sitting on my bed with me...

Hey guys Chloe here! I am back and I'm so excited to write more with ideas flooding in. I feel that I want to leave this specific book alone and cross over to another book with the same story and characters but follows the line of them in the army and dekoda just getting by. Also her dramas and medical friends from uni helping her out. The brothers will come up again a lot in the new book it just doesn't feel right to call a bigger book by the title of this one. Thank You for the support it means more than the world and makes me so happy. I hope y'all have a great week and hope these next updates in this book make you smile. Thanks, bye - More updates in a few hours Im on the grind hehe
