On The Way Down
´Prologue´
"Wait a minute...do you have a condom?"
"Shit, no. Don't worry so much babe, I'll pull out, I promise."
"...Ok, just don't forget."
"I won't."
Christopher Perry groaned softly as he rested his forehead against the cool porcelain and took a deep breath to calm himself down. That was the third time this week that he's been woken up by the urge to puke and he couldn't help but think back to that night with Wyatt Halliwell. He bit his lip before he slowly got up and walked over to the sink as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was pale and clammy, just like he's been for the last days.
"Chris, sweetie are you alright?" his mom asked as she knocked on the bathroom door and Chris looked over at the door before he looked down at his stomach.
"Yeah mom, I'm alright." Chris said quietly and heard the retreating footsteps of his mother and bit his lip and rubbed his face before he quickly rinsed out his mouth and brushed his teeth before he quietly made his way down the hallway to his bedroom. His younger brother, James, was still fast asleep in his bed so Chris made sure he was quiet as he got dressed.
While making his way downstairs he stopped and stared at the pictures on the wall; they were filled with pictures of himself and his sisters and brother, most of them were of his brother though. He didn't mind, he wasn't a fan of getting his picture taken and since his sisters didn't live with them anymore James was the primary target and it was hilarious to watch him hide from the camera.
"Morning, son." Dan Perry greeted and Chris gave him a tiny forced smile as he took his seat at the table before he heard the door open and immediately could hear his niece and nephew arguing over something. 4-year-old Emily was trying to bite her brother as she was carried into the room with 6-year-old Aiden trying to pull her hair. However, he immediately grinned when he saw Chris sitting there and tried to get to him.
"Hey little brother," Eve said as she set down her son and he immediately ran to Chris and climbed onto his lap and Chris smiled as he kissed his head. "How's it going, are you still with Wyatt by any chance?"
"Hey Eve, um, no we broke up about two weeks ago, why?" Chris asked as he bounced his knee and Aiden giggled and smiled up at his uncle. He really didn't even want to hear Wyatt's name anymore but Eve seemed to love him for some reason.
"Because she's obsessed with him." Aaron said with a smirk as he set Emily in a chair and sat down next to her and the 4-year-old climbed into his lap. Chris smiled at his brother-in-law as Eve rolled her eyes before sitting down at the table in the empty chair next to Chris.
"No, I saw him with a girl yesterday so I was just making sure he wasn't cheating on my baby brother," She said and Chris only looked down at Aiden before he picked up a piece of bacon and took a bite while he looked out the window. "So anyways, I was wandering if you could babysit for us tonight; Aaron has something planned for our anniversary."
"Yeah, sure." Chris said as he gave her a smile before more voices were heard and Chris's eldest sister, Julie, came into the kitchen with the twins on her hips. Kyla and Kara just had their third birthday not even a month ago and had already decided that James was their favorite and they loved to tug at his hair and follow him around while he hated it. Julie's husband, Damon, left her shortly after the twins were born because he didn't want kids, much less daughters.
"Morning all, hello my favorite little brother." Julie said with a smile and Chris rolled his eyes at his sister. She always greeted him as her favorite little brother when she needed him to babysit the girls and today it seemed was no different.
"Why not, I'm already babysitting Aiden and Emily, how much of a difference can two more make?" he asked sarcastically and Julie gave him a smile as she put the girls down on the ground and took a seat as they happily ran around the kitchen to find their grandma. Susan came out of the kitchen at that moment and smiled when she saw her granddaughters and grandson and immediately cooed over the twins.
"Morning Dad, anything in the newspaper?" Julie said as she looked over at Dan and he shook his head in the negative.
"Same-old." He said as he flipped the page before he handed the comics to Chris but today he just really wasn't in the mood to read them so he placed them on the table and bounced Aiden again before he looked over at the time and sighed softly.
"I better get going before I'm late. I might be home late today." He added to his parents and received a nod from both before he got up and set Aiden in the chair and grabbed his book bag. He gave Aiden a kiss along with Emily and the twins before saying goodbye to everyone and was quickly out the door.
