Chapter 7: truth be told

Scott Pov.

I was sitting next to John while every one else had fallen asleep. He took out Lilly's note book and showed me the back cover it was a song called 'To My Brothers' it read:

I can't make you stay but

I don't have the heart to let you go

There is nowhere left to hide

Nowhere left to run

I won't say it's easy but

I don't call the shots

I know I'm a pain

And I don't quit

You maybe older but

That don't make you wiser

Chorus

We mess up

And get lost

But you don't have to

Go it alone

Its ok you can lean on me

As your baby sister you're safe with me.

I can't make you stay but

I don't have the heart to watch you go

Won't say good bye

Don't be afraid to cry

You think that he hates you

You may think he lies

You maybe some what right

I'll tell you straight he loves you

He just don't know how to show it

Chorus

We mess up

And get lost

But you don't have to

Go it alone

Its ok you can lean on me

As your baby sister you're safe with me.

It may seem to late or

Just too hard to fix

Never said it was easy

You just gotta take the first step

Your gonna fight

That's alright

Don't play that game

Don't pass the blame

It aint to late yet

Chorus

We mess up

And get lost

But you don't have to

Go it alone

Its ok you can lean on me

As your baby sister you're safe with me.

I can't make you stay

But

I can't just let you go

Cause my heart says no

As your baby sister you're safe with me.

Its ok you can lean on me

I don't have the heart to

Let you go.

Wow. I just stared at her sleeping form and thought about what John said earlier. It was now or never and never wasn't an option. I could fly planes in to certain death, but when came to voicing what happened in the jungle I would take certain death over that any day. I walked over to my father who was sitting next to Lilly's bed side.

"Hey dad can I talk to for a minute um… outside," I asked sounding like a scared child. My voice startled me I was the strong never visibly scared older brother and right now the shield was gone. "Sure son" he answered as he got up and led the way. Once we were outside the door I sat down I could even look up at him. I drew a shallow breath and looked up. He looked years older then he was and worry lines were becoming more evident on his face. I felt like I was fourteen again, grabbing Lilly off of the rock. "Dad ten years ago the night grandma yelled at you because Lilly and Alan were missing. We all agreed not to talk about again, but I think you should know. I found Lilly and Alan on top of one of the rocks, she was saying how you wouldn't come near us and that you looked really sad when she was around and maybe if she wasn't you wouldn't be so sad. If I hadn't grabbed her she would have jumped. I barely got there in time, to this day it haunts me and I still don't know how they got up there so fast." I finished as my eyes fell to the floor. I slowly got back up and walked back in the room to all of my siblings awake and staring. Finally Virgil spoke "So that's how you get up so early" I laughed a little, he was trying to lighten the mood. "Hey Scooter, thanks for grabbing me that night. Now get over here so I can hug you cause I can't move, and give the notebook back right now and I'll tell you why I was so mad about the school." She said as I crossed the room right as dad walked in. his head was down and you could tell his eyes were red. That's when Lilly surprised all of us. "Group hug that means every one right now. And from now on I can't believe I'm saying this must be the medicine this room is a positive attitude only so smile." We all looked at her like she had three heads and started laughing. Dad didn't walk over yet. "Dad that means you to, please just because I am a teen doesn't mean I don't need you, hurry before the rebellious teenager returns." Lilly said with a giant smile. Within a second dad was there and there was peace for now.

"So Lil why didn't you wanna go to to the school in england," John asked.
