Brothers

Chapter 17

Noah and Grayson we're close and always does everything together. Noah always protected Grayson and made sure that he was never sad. He took his big brother job seriously everyday and every second. Grayson looked up to both of his older brothers but he especially looked up to Noah. He's always wanting to make them proud. But this day Noah wasn't himself and started being rude to his brothers but especially to Grayson, much to everyone's surprise. Today was a nice day and Grayson wanted to spend it at a park with Noah. He already asked Alex if it was okay for them to go to the park and got a yes answer.
Grayson knocks on the door before entering "Noah it's me" he said before opening the door.
He closed the door and saw Noah sitting on his bed looking through his phone
"Noah can you come to the park with me? It's nice out today and Alex said that we can go to the park. Please?" He asked while walking to his brother and sat on the bed next to him.
"I don't feel like it today Grayson"
Noah said while not looking at his brother
Grayson pouted
"please?"
He pleads and puts his head on his shoulder.
Normally when Grayson did that Noah wouldn't mind and let him do it whenever. But today he wasn't in the mood and immediately shoved him off
"Stop it Grayson!" He yelled as he used his arm to push him off.
Grayson let out a yell as he hit the floor and looked up at his brother with hurt in his eyes. Noah glared at him once more and looked away. Grayson felt his lips wobble and felt tears in his eyes, but forced himself not to cry. He sniffed and stood up
"why are you being so mean to me?"
He asked in a shaking voice as he looked at his brother. Noah slams his phone down on the bed and stood up so fast making Grayson take a step back in fear.

Meanwhile, Alex was downstairs watching tv when he suddenly heard a thump and a yell coming from upstairs. Immediately he got up and ran upstairs and stopped when he saw both his brothers standing in front of each other. He stood back and watched to see if they were okay.

Noah stood up with a mean look on his face as he stood in front of his brother. Grayson took a step back but didn't look away.
"Why can't you get the idea that I don't want you to be in here?"
Noah said as he took a step towards his brother.
"But I-" Grayson started to protest but stopped as he got interrupted.
"Get out! I don't want you in here and you can't get it through your stupid head! You're so damn annoying! Nobody cares about you and I bet Alex wishes that you would just disappear cause I sure wish you would be gone! You're an annoying pest now get out!"
Noah screamed at him as he pushed him hard causing Grayson to fall and hit his head on the dresser.
"NOAH!" Alex yelled just as Grayson fell down.
Noah immediately looked and eyes got wide as he saw his furious older brother. Alex glares hard at Noah before going to Grayson.
"Grayson are you okay?" Alex asked as he gently helped Grayson to a sitting position.
Grayson sniffed and shook his head before pushing Alex away and running out of the room
"Grayson!" Alex yelled as he stood up.
"Damn it.." alex whispered to himself before turning towards Noah.
"What the hell is the matter with you, huh?!" Alex yelled out as he stood in front of Noah.
"I..Alex I'm sorry.." Noah whispered as he put his head down
"Why would you say those things to Grayson?!" Alex continued to yell at him.
When he didn't get an answer he closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening. He pushed Noah down on his bed
"You stay right here and don't even think about moving. Understand? I have to go back sure Grayson is okay and then I'll come and deal with you later. Stay here." Alex orders in a cold voice.
Noah swallows and shakily nods his head "I understand.." he whispered.
Alex looks at him for a few seconds before shaking his head and running out the door.
Grayson had ran out of the room and into the bathroom. He slammed the door shut and cried as hard as he could. He didn't understand why his big brother was being so harsh to him. Grayson was in his thoughts and didn't even hear the knock on the door but he did hear his name being called.
"Grayson?" Alex said from behind the door "it's just me. Please let me in I promise I'm not going to yell or be mean to you. Noah isn't with me so you're okay. Please let me in" alex begged as he knocked again.
Grayson wipes at his face before standing up. He nervously opens the door and made sure that Noah wasn't there before he burst into tears again and hugged Alex.
Alex was surprised at the hug but he hugged him back and gently soothes him.
"Shhhh it's okay Grayson. Shhh" Alex says as he rubs his back.
"W-What did I d-do? Why d-does everyone ha-hate me?" He broke down at the end and buried his head into Alex's chest and cries.
Alex eyes widened alittle and sighs before lifting his brother up. He felt Grayson put his legs around his waist and arms around his neck. He gently bounced him and soothes him as he walked out of the bathroom and down the stairs to the living room. He sits down on the couch with Grayson in his lap.
"Grayson please calm down baby. I promise nobody hates you and you did absolutely nothing wrong. Shhh..big brother has you now it's going to be okay."
