My New 8 Step Brothers

Being Babied By Asher Really?

Raelynn's POV

It's been almost a week and I haven't moved from the couch since Monday, I'm still coughing up blood here and there, but mom has been telling me how nice and caring Asher is whom I haven't met yet because I have been sleeping. He came home yesterday around noon, he knows that he has a little sister but It's still hard to get up and move. I get up from the couch and Mom isn't down here yet so I have a little freedom to move around, as I do I bump into something hard "Sorry" he said and I look up at him and I have no idea who this guy is "Uh" I said a bit disappointed, he looks at me and then I notice I have been in my clothes since Monday gross. "I'm Asher you must be little Raelynn" he says and I nod my head. I turn around and head upstairs quietly and grab some comfortable clothes to wear after my shower. I head in the shower and rinse my body off as I get out, and change into a white tank-top and shorts and tie my hair back into a bun.

After I get dress I start to cough but I cover it with the towel I had, when i was done I placed it into my hamper that I had. I heard my mom's voice knocking on my door and I choke out a yes. She came in and took my hand, "Hunny I have something to tell you?" she said and I nodded, "Me and Brad are having a wedding next week and I want you in it because your all I have left" she said and I smile taking it all in "I love to be in it mum" I said and I knew she was going to be all dress buying. I want downstairs to see Asher, Wyatt and Xavier on the couch they all look at me and I smile, "Raelynn come and sit with us" Xavier said and I nodded heading over there. As soon I sat down I started to have the worst cough ever and mom came down seeing me struggling, "Somebody go and get a towel" she yells as she removes my hand that is covered in blood, "Raelynn we are going to the doctors today, your getting worse and I don't know if your sick or what" she said and I nodded not wanting to speak, Xavier comes down with a towel and hands it to mom as she cleans me up. "Asher can you stay and watch Ethan and Liam this afternoon" mom asked as she soon as she does Ryder comes down the stairs and as soon as he sees my mom crouching in front of me he got all worried and then went back to a stone face. "I'll go with you Amanda so that when Raelynn is having trouble I'll be able to help" Wyatt says and my face soons to be turning red, my mom is rubbing my back and hand as I cough up a large clot of blood and it is soon to be on the carpet. "s-sorry" I said softly, "Raelynn I'm going to call an ambulance is that okay" mom said and I nod as Asher is cleaning the carpet up. As mom is calling an ambulance I hear the front door open and to see a guy standing there, Xavier gets up and goes and hugs him, "Hey Dax what's up?" Xavier says and he nods at me that it's okay, "Who she?" is all that came out of his mouth,"that's my soon to be step-sister Raelynn" Xavier said. Mom comes back and she waves softly to Dax, and comes over to me "Raelynn there on their way okay baby" she said and I just nodded.

I waited for the Ambulance to get here, but as soon Dax comes over to me the door slams open again revealing another guy, "Jax what did I say stay in the car" Dax said, "I had to come in there were sirens" he said as he looks at me, "Wait Dax you know her?" Jax questioned, "No I just met her today, Oh and Jax this is Raelynn, you know the girl who bumped into you" Dax said. " we should sit down" Xavier said as the medical people came Inside and to my side helping me up as I cough another clot of blood up and into my hand. "Wyatt your going with her right I'll meet you there" mom said as Wyatt got up and followed us behind.

Ryder's POV

I woke up to the sound of a really bad mixture of coughing and choking, I knew Raelynn was sick or whatever but I get up anyways and head down the stairs. As I head downstairs I can see Amanda crouching in front of Raelynn who has her hand up to her mouth and blood running down her leg, Wyatt and Xavier are up by her side, I didn't know what was going on so I left the living room and into the Kitchen where Asher is grabbing a towel and running into the living room, "Raelynn hun I'm going to call an Ambulance" Amanda said worriedly, By the time she got out here I heard the front door slam and Xavier is up on his feet leaving Wyatt with Raelynn, "hey man what's up?" he says, "Whose she?" I knew that voice Dax's, "She's my soon to be sister Raelynn" Xavier says, and then I hear another door slam and it must be he's brother Jax, "Jax what did I say about staying in the car" Dax said as he kept looking at Raelynn, I felt bad for her honestly, "I heard sirens bro" Jax said and stared at raelynn, "Isn't this the girl who bumped into you" Dax's asks and Jax says a low yeah. Raelynn starts coughing again and I hear this horrible sound she was gagging, I walked up to her and I saw it, The blood was from her, she was coughing it up but why. Then two men came in and helped her up with a Wyatt standing behind her and she coughs up another blood clot onto her hand, "Amanda could I come with you?" I ask and she nods, I see a few tears falling down her face.

Xavier's POV 

I was already down stairs when I seen Rae coming down, I asked her to come and sit next to me and Wyatt and she nods. But seconds later she starts having a coughing fit and blood splatters onto her leg, I get up to go get a towel when Amanda came running in with one already, "oh my dear?" she said worriedly, after two minutes Amanda is calling the Ambulance for Raelynn. As soon i start sitting back down I hear the door slam twice and its Dax and his Brother Jax, Goddamn why did their parents name them that, i introduced dax to Raelynn and i guess jax knew who she was. But as soon as we started to talk two men walked in helping Raelynn get up with a Wyatt following her behind, then she starts choking or coughing up a big blood clot, Amanda is getting ready to leave and ryder asked to go with.

Raelynn's Pov

We got to the hospital and wyatt is in here with me Im connected to so many wires, my mom follows behind with ryder, "so what did the doctor say?" she asked and it was so horrible, "She has Bronchiectasis but she's only at stage one" wyatt says and mom is shocked, "That means that you won't be able to be apart of the wedding Rae-Rae" mom said and that hurt, "Im okay mom" I said, she looks at me and cries. The doctor comes in and says that it is an illness, and will only come every year but it worsens, I felt my hands get shaky and I felt that it was because I did something wrong, "I need to rest I'll see you guys tomorrow" I said and the doctor nodded and led everybody out, I went to sleep and it wasn't comfortable I miss home , mom and everyone else, I cried till I was okay. The next day Mom was by my side when I woke up, I saw Brad who was shaking his head, "Raelynn your being discharged today" mom said with a smile and I smiled back, the doctor came in and they left talking in the hall so I could change into the outfit I came in. My mom came in hugging me and she held my hand, that's when I noticed that there was someone else in the room and it was Wyatt. He came over and sat next to me and pulled me into a hug, "I didn't know Raelynn nobody did I was so scared that it was something else" he said and I cried I didn't know that I had Bronchiectasis I thought it was a joke until I realized it wasn't fake.  Wyatt picked me up and we left the hospital.

Once we got home I was fast asleep and was set on the couch with a comfortable blanket over me. I heard the smallest gasps when I woke up and turned away from the light. "Raelynn?" that voice sounded so similar "hmm?" I hum and it was like everything went silent, "Liam leave her alone please she needs to rest" mom said and I heard the smallest sigh. Liam misses me, I've been gone since friday and it's sunday. I wake up and stretch everything as i feel blood in my mouth, I ran to the nearest bathroom and puked it was all bloody and then I fainted to someone yelling my name. "Raelynn wake up please" Liam said I knew that voice from anywhere. I shift once I was put on my bed. 

After almost three hours I woke up having Ryder in my room sitting on the edge of the bed, I move around and I think he heard the bed shift because he got up and walked towards the door. I was in shocked, I thought he liked me but I guess I was wrong, But then again he comes back in telling me "Were going back to school tomorrow Raelynn" he said with the most of disgust in his voice, I was about to snap at him when I heard Asher coming up the stairs talking on the phone. "Raelynn you okay I heard about what happened?" he asked and I nodded my head.
