Hi disclaimer see chapter 2 hope you enjoy.

Reviews are loved


Speed was beginning to doze off when he heard a groan, immediately his head snapped up and he made his way over to his brother, now wide awake, "Hey how you feeling bro?"

"Back and side hurts. Ribs might be fractured." Speed's face darkened at this how dare Royalton hurt his brother. Speed got up and made his way to the exit, "Where are you going?"

"To get you some medicine," Speed replied and began to climb down.

"I don't need any…" Alan started to say but Speed was already gone.

Speed was a little annoyed okay he was very annoyed he only went out to get painkillers for Alan but now it was one hour later. I mean honestly had people around here never seen anyone famous before.

Flashback

Speed was walking to the chemist when a woman came and asked him if he would sign an autograph for her son then there was the group of girls who wanted a picture with him and then there was the man from the auto shop wanting to know what cars he liked. And then when he got in the store the man behind the desk had been in shock, "You're Rex Royalton?!"

"Yes now ca-"

"I didn't know Royalton had any nephews."

"Yeah well can I have some painkillers Scott has hurt himself."

"Yes what type do you want?"

Now Speed was getting really really impatient so he snapped "I don't know any kind!" After seeing the shocked look on the man's faces he decide to apologise, "Sorry my brother is really sick and I need painkiller."

"Of course I understand, here you go that will be £1.25 please." Speed paid him and left.

End of flashback

But after he'd left the shop a million more people (or at least it felt like a million) came up to him and asked for photos with him or autographs and one girl actually told him she loved him.

As he got closer to Alan and his home he could hear groaning and as he climbed the tree he saw his brother hunched up in a corner in obvious pain, "AJ are you okay?"

"Speed what took so long?"

Speed noticed that Alan avoided which was never a good sign. "People round here have never seen anyone famous before." He stated simply and lifted Alan up into a sitting position so he could take his medicine, "Come on bro time to take your medicine."

Alan smiled as Speed poured the liquid in to his mouth and Speed noticed, "What are you smiling about?"

"That's the third time you've called me your brother and you also didn't correct Royalton when he said I was your brother in his office."

"Yeah well you are now. Now get some sleep, I'll wake you up when you need to take your medicine." Speed smiled as Alan fell asleep without protesting.

-Line-break-

Rex wasn't quite sure why they were back at their house it felt so empty without Speed. Without him kissing Trixie or laughing with Spritle and Sparky or being comforted by mom or told off by pops. But yet here they were picking up the stuff they would need to spend time away from there.

As he got closer to Speed's and hi-no not mine just Speed's room he thought, he heard someone sobbing and as he walked into the room he saw who it was and his heart broke some more, "Spritle what's wrong?"

Spritle raised his tear stricken and yelled, "Get out I don't want you here! I want Speed he's my big brother not you!"

"Look I want Speed here as well…"

"No you don't you wouldn't have made him left if you wanted him here."

"Look I can understand where you are coming from but I didn't want him to leave I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen to me."

"You didn't want him to leave?" Spritle looked at Rex disbelievingly as he sat down next to him.

"No I didn't want him to leave," Rex sighed. "If it was up to me I would switch places with him so he would be here I would be…"

"No! Don't say that!" Spritle said forcefully.

"What?"

"Speed will come back he always does but you didn't and if you want away again I doubt you'd come back. And Speed does need you he still misses you."

Rex put his arm around Spritle as the younger boy leaned into his side. And the stayed like that, arms wrapped around each other, till mom and pops came to get them so they could leave.

-Line-break-

Scott walked into the living room to find his brothers huddled together in a corner, their dad having gone out, "Guys you alright?"

As soon as his brothers shook their heads he knew something was really wrong as Tracys they had grown up being told never to show weakness, "what's wrong are you hurt?" When his brother again shook their heads he was really confused, "Then what's wrong?"

"Alan, he's going what if he never comes back?"

"He will come back and we will make things right okay?" All of his brothers looked at him for a while before nodding and leaning into Scott. Two hours later when everyone else came back to the hotel room the Tracy brother were still in the corner leaning against each other fast asleep.
