-Secret-
Grayson wakes up groaning and he pulls up from his brothers body and his hands search in the dark for any injuries but he finds none, he lets out a soft sigh of relief before pulling sitting back looking around the dark living room searching to see where Pete had gone but the room was too dark for him too see and his eyes had adjusted as much as they could. His phone vibrates and he looks around the room and under the couch was his phone lit up, he looks back at Ethan before he crawls towards his phone quietly and he picks it up turning on the flashlight and he shines it around the room breathing heavily. He firstly goes to check on his brother, his brother was still knocked out cold and he gets up shining it around the room, there was still no sign of Pete anywhere around the room. As he shined the light around the room his breath hitched as he saw a thick streak of blood leading into the kitchen, Grayson looks back at his brother "I'll be back, e"
He follows the streak into the kitchen, he looks around not seeing Pete yet the streak curves around the counter separating the kitchen and the dining room. He could feel his breath picking up as his phone flashlight was his only source of lighting, he could see the tip of Pete's shoe peeking out from the corner. Before he steps further into dining room he turns looking back into the living room just to double check on his brother before he went to check on Pete. As he shines the light into the living room where his brother was laying previously but, his brother was no where to be seen.
"Ethan?" he calls out in a soft whisper but, he receives no answer. He lightly shakes his head biting his bottom lip before going back in the kitchen towards the dining room. Once the light shone on the body Grayson could feel the acid make it way up his throat at the sight and he turns away his stomach heaving, a loud noise sounded as the liquid hit the floor. He coughs violently before he wiped his mouth.
There laying against their dinning room counter on the floor was Pete's body, his eyes were shut and this deep crimson liquid was running out from; his eyes, nose, mouth and his ears. Blood, Grayson knew what he was seeing was actual blood, as he looked back he noticed that one of their kitchen knifes was lodged into his chest right where his heart was. Grayson breathing was erratic by then as he began to take in what was in front of him, there was a dead body in their house.
He walks away making it to the trash can this time as his stomach heaved again as the reality set in. He had to find his brother, he had to know that he was alive. he wipes his mouth spitting once more before stumbling out of the kitchen to the other side of the house.
"Ethan!" He calls out, his voice rough from the vomit acid that burned his throat "E, where are you?"
He searched their rooms until he felt this gut feeling, he drops his phone running to the backyard from his sliding glass door, as he reached the pool his stomach dropped. There on the bottom of the pool was his brother, he quickly dives into the pool swimming down to the bottom. As Grayson tries to pulls his brother up to the surface he begins to struggle, it was as if something was holding him down at the bottom.
"Not my brother, you cant have him" Grayson voice screams in his head, in that instant he tries pushing off the bottom of the pool taking his brother to the surface. He gasps for air as he drags his unconscious brother out of the pool onto the concrete. As he starts chest compression, tears burn at his eyes, he plugs his brothers nose breathing two breaths into his lungs. As he pulls away he checks to listen for breathing before he starts compression again.
"Don't you dare leave me Ethan" he chokes out as he continues to fight to keep his brother alive.
Hot tears began to stream down Grayson's cheeks as his mind begin to tell him that he had already lost his brother and that he should just give up but, he continued not giving up yet. He was not going to loose his brother, not yet and defiantly not like this. With each push on Ethan's chest brought back memories that the two made, with each breath that he gave to his brother reminded him of the times they had lost their breath from laughing too hard. Grayson began to realize that he too Ethan for granted, that things like this could happen and that Ethan could be gone in the blink of an eye but, Grayson did not deserve to loose his brother.
Right as Grayson was running out of energy, the tears running down his face and the soft cries there was a moment of silence and Ethan's chest heaved, his mouth opening as he coughs up water. Grayson quickly moves to help Ethan up so that he would not choke on the water again, when the water was all out of his brothers lungs and he was gasping for air, Grayson pulls his brother into a hug. "I thought I lost you"
"What happen?" he asks his voice hoarse as he hugged Grayson back while looking around.
As Grayson pulled away from Ethan his face drained color "she killed him, E"
"What are we going to do?" Ethan whispers
"We have to call the cops"
"Like they would believe us Grayson"
"But, it would make us look like actual murders if we do not call them" Grayson says, wide eyed as he looked at his brother.
"Then we will get arrested as murder suspects cause he's in out house and he got killed" Ethan said pausing before continuing "We have to dispose of the body and clean up everything. We have to make it like he had never been here"
Grayson looks at his brother surprised at what he was suggesting that they do "But Ethan, if we get caught we-"
Ethan cuts his brother off "Then we don't get caught, simple as that"
The twins knew that this is going to be their biggest secret that they would have to keep. But how long until the truth would come out?
