#96 He's Your Brother & Cheers You Up

Calum:

You didn’t want to spend the rest of you summer holidays in a hospital bed. But when the doctor came into your room, your ideas for the best summer was crushed. You did a silly thing with your friends that caused a broken arm.

“Uggghhh,” you groaned when the doctor left, leaving you and your parents alone.

“It’s alright honey, we know you wanted a good holiday but it’s just two weeks left of it,"your mum tried to comfort you.

You weren’t ready to go to school yet. Especially with a recent broken arm. So when your parents left you sunk down in the bed and tried to sleep the two weeks away. You were woken up by your phone loudly ringing from the bedside table. You groggily took the phone.

“Hello?”

“Y/N!” Cal said excitedly on the other line.

“Oh hey, it’s you,” you mumbled. You went to sit up straight, struggling with only one arm which was being used to hold up your phone to your ear.

“Well slow down, don’t be too excited to talk to me,” Cal laughed sarcastically.

“Sorry, I’m just not in the best of moods.”

“What’s wrong? Summer holiday not going as planned?”

You smiled. Cal was one of the very few people that understood you, “You could say that to my broken arm.”

“Shit Y/N! What did you do?!” he said.

“Eh, that’s a whole different story,” you said. You talked to Cal for a long time. Even though he was your brother, he was one of your best friends as well.

“Hey Y/N…” he started.

“Why do you suddenly sound so serious?” you joked, “Tour getting too lonely?”

“I just wanted to tell you to take care,” he sighed, “I know I’m not home often and I miss out a lot. I mean, I missed your first broken bone! I would’ve filmed that!”

You laughed, “I know you would, that’s why I’m glad you weren’t there.”

“But I’ll make a promise yeah? When I get back home we’ll do everything like it was before I left. I promise that, little sister,” you could just imagine him grinning. He always did when he called you ‘little’.

“Okay,” you said, “but you sound so homesick.”

“I am,” you didn’t mean to make him sound upset, “but I’ll be home soon so don’t go breaking anything else without me recording.”

Michael:

You knew you forgot something important the moment you entered your house. There were suitcases by the front door and loud voices in the kitchen.

“Mum?” you called out.

“Y/N’s home! Finally!” you heard you mum. When you walked into the kitchen you almost screamed.

“Hey,” Michael greeted you.

You let him take you into a hug and hugged him back quickly. You watched your mum from the corner of your eye and heard he say, “The family is finally back together.”

“Oh Mum, not the tears again,” you heard Mikey mutter. Your dad just laughed at your mum.

You excused yourself from the kitchen and went straight to your room. It should’ve been a good day for you seeing as your older brother is back home after months and months of being away. But today wasn’t exactly the best day of your life. Even though you were still young a breakup was a breakup. You boyfriend who you have been with for a while, decided to end things. He said some pretty horrible things that you can’t forget. So when you walked into your room you didn’t even have the energy to shut the door behind you. You just fell straight on your bed and cried.
