THE DRAMA continues...whats wrong with nick? Well...no one knows for sure...well except me and her (points to Emily) muahaha..ha..ha


I hugged Kevin, holding onto him and just thanking the heavens I was able to have his arms wrapped around me

I hugged Kevin, holding onto him and just thanking the heavens I was able to have his arms wrapped around me. Why was I losing my memories? Was something that wrong with me? My heart began to pound lightly as I held my brother close to me and sighed, I'm 18 and yet I feel like I am 12…this feeling may never go away. The insecurity I feel when I don't have Kevin or Joe around…especially Kevin. How many days of my life would have been wasted away if it weren't for him? For Kevin always trying to protect me, for Kevin being right by my side no matter what when I was diagnosed with Diabetes? I know he wasn't the best brother the last two years but I'm finding that it doesn't matter if it means he loves me like I love him. Perhaps if I just held him longer the world would slip away and just leave him and me alone, to be together without worry or judgment.

"Boys!" Or not. I pulled away, immediately regretting it as our father looked into the room with an eyebrow rose. "You are letting cold air in."

I felt Kevin let go and feeling the rush of air as he shut the door that I think I forgot to close when Kevin had pulled me into his embrace.

"Thank you, now…are you feeling okay Nicholas?"

I Nodded. I knew it was a lie…I knew I was lying to my father, and in front of Kevin, but I had no other choice. I don't want to be stuck in a bed again; I just want to figure out what is wrong with me.

"Alright, well go lay down at least, Kevin make sure your brother gets a lot of rest, he still doesn't look …alive." I watched my father resend into the dinning room with my brows furrowed. What did he mean by alive…I didn't look alive?

"Come on, let's go upstairs."

I shook my head, my arms crossing over my chest as I let out a breath. I just wanted to sleep, but I didn't want to…if that made any sense, which I doubt, but I felt weak, but all I truly wanted was to sink into a world without this pain. The throbbing at my side caused me to wince and I thanked god Kevin didn't see it.

"Nick, you need to at least go lay down."

"Nah, who needs to sleep after two days?" I chuckled slightly. "I just wanna watch a movie…perhaps."

Kevin nodded and I forced a smile as we walked to the couch.

"Hmm…Sound of Music or…Little miss sunshine…?" Kevin held two movies up in his hands and I smiled, he was so adorable.

"Whatever you want to watch."

"Um…how about music videos." He smirked. I rolled my eyes, him and his music videos. Always what he watches in the morning, more like all the time he gets a chance to watch them.

"How about wrestling!" I said jokingly.

"Ha, ha." He stuck his tongue out and put in Brick, again. He knew I enjoyed watching this movie after he brought it home last year. It's something we usual watched together.

"So, the usual." I grinned as it started and he sat beside me.

"Can't resist the intense storyline behind this movie now can we?"

"Never." I laughed and sat back in the couch. I don't remember how long till I felt Kevin's leg against my own, and his arm resting on my shoulder.

"I love you." He whispered into my ear. I smiled and then winced. Kevin looked around to make sure no one was around and then I felt him kiss my cheek, pulling me close and tilting my head up to meet his lips in a passionate but short kiss.

"You are so beautiful Nick." His words always made me blush, and I only smiled back and leaned into kiss him.

"So are you, Kev." He was gorgeous…as he always has been. I felt his hand rest on my knee and squeeze gently. I giggled, it tickled, and that rhymed…nice.

"You are so cute." He whispered and began tickling me. I laughed for a minute before it began painful, I wriggled, and the pain began to increase.

"Kevin, stop…" He must have not grasped the unease in my tone because he continued the tickling. It was harder to breath as he continued and I tried once more. "Kevin, stop, your hurting me!"

"Nice try kid." He thought I was kidding…like last night.

"Kevin…" I began to cry as the pain shot through me again, I didn't understand! What, did I hit something" Did I break something? Am I actually sick?

"STOP!" I used my strength to shove Kevin off of me and got up, clenching my side and stumbling forward as Joe came downstairs.

"Nick?" I felt Joe's arms wrap around me as I fell to my knees, my vision began to blur and I began to cough onto our white carpet.

"Oh my god…Kevin what happened?" I heard Kevin get off of the couch and lean over us.

"Shit." Joe hissed as I began to cough violently. The floor was spattered in blood.

"Kevin get your keys we need to take him to the hospital."

"MOM DAD WE ARE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL!"

The sound of feet plundering the floors of our house could be heard through my ears and the next minute I felt myself being lifted into Joe's arms and cradled as we got in the back of Kevin's Jeep.

"Hang in there, Nick-o." I shut my eyes and held onto Joe's hand tightly, but wishing it was Kevin's. I knew he never intended on hurting me, and I wish I had the courage to tell him that in front of Joe…tell him I love him so much and not to worry. But I couldn't.
