CHAPTER II: PRETENDING THAT THE WORLD STOPPED SPINNING

-"I missed you so much" Said Wyatt holding one of his hands and caressing his hair.

Chris wanted to ask him HOW? WHY? Who could you do that, Wyatt?

He wanted to punch him in the face a thousand times for all the horrors he had been force to see curtsey of "Lord Wyatt". He wanted to tell him how much pain, and sorrow he had seen. How much pain and sorrow he had live. How much he had suffered, all alone, when he woke up in his grandfather's apartment and his family was dead and Wyatt was gone. He wanted to hug him and ask him. "Why did you leave me?" "Why didn't you answer my calls?". He wanted to tell him, he had needed him, and missed him.

Yet, he was too tired to fight with his mind. Overflowed with contradictory thoughts and feelings.. all he manage to say was

-"Me too"

-"Go to sleep, ok? We'll talk when you get better. Now, just rest" He kissed his forehead. "Night kiddo"

-"Night" As he softly drifted into a deep sleep.

--

He woke up, who knows how many hours later.

Wyatt was still there, in the same position, looking at him with his face swollen from tears, that kept on pouring down his face, looking at him as if it was a miracle.

-"I thought you were dead" he barely whispered "I would have never left you, if I didn't. I thought you were dead... I felt so guilty about it, I was your big brother... I was suppose to protect you. And instead, you died protecting me. All of you did. But I thought you were dead! I need you to believe me, that I would have never left you if I didn't think you were dead. I am your big brother and I am supposed to protect you, take care of you and I abandoned you when you were on the verge of dying" He lean his body over his brothers hugging him and crying inconsolably.

Chris was trying to hate him. From the bottom of his heart he was trying to see his brother for the monster he really was. But memories of a happy childhood were corrupting his thoughts. Memories of a brother that was always there for him, before anyone else. Memories of a brother that had always defended him, that had always protected him, that had always loved him...

He realized now... that he had hidden his face for so long , not as much, for the fear of Wyatt finding out he was the leader of the resistance, but for the fear of him, finding out who his brother really was. As long as he didn't have to see Wyatt, he could pretend this new source of all evil was a stranger, someone he didn't care about.

But now, face to face with Wyatt, emotions overcast his judgment and all he could do was caress his brother, that he knew, loved him so much, and that he knew, he loved so much, in order to comfort him.

-"I believe you, Wy . It's not your fault, you didn't know"

Wyatt sat down again, and looked at him. He could glimpse a smile behind the tears.

He remembered how many times his mom and aunts, told him, it was ok to feel, that sometimes, you should let your emotions win over your thoughts.

He remembered once, when he was seven he run in front of an energy ball to protect his mother. His mom had gone ballistics "What were you thinking, Chris? You could have gotten killed!" Thank god, Leo had decided that, maybe, his son's imminent death was enough reason to show his face. After that, he remembered crying non stop and Paige coming to console him. "I don't know what I was thinking Aunt Paige, I just got scared that something might happened to mommy, I am sorry" He had said and Paige had answered "You weren't actually thinking, you were feeling, that is allowed in this family!" kissing him on the cheek.

He remembered many occasions like those. But he didn't think his mom or his Aunts, ever had to live a situation like this.

He hated the source of all evil, but he loved his brother. And unluckily for him, they were the same person.

-"Why didn't you call me?" Wyatt asked

-"I called you, everyday, all the time, for months... till I lost all hope of you coming for me"

-"I didn't hear anything... someone must have blocked us out. But who? I can't be the elders, I killed all of them, bastards, they thought I was a threat cuz I had too much power, all they cared about is power, they couldn't care less about good or evil, that is when I realized it was all a charade...but who could have blocked us out? I swear I'll found out and kill him, with no mercy, painfully"

Chris flinch, Wyatt suddenly realized he had an audience. He saw the unspoken fear in his brother's eyes. No, he had to shut up, learn to control his emotions near Chris for now. He had an idea of what his brother was thinking. He had thought about the same things a lot too, while Chris was unconscious. But this was not the time, he couldn't let Chris worry about those things. Right now, the important thing was that Chris had to get better. Once he got better they could start discussing politics. Right now his baby brother needed to relax and rest.

-"Well it doesn't matter right now" He said with a smile "The important thing is that I finally found you, right?"

-"But Wyatt..."

Wyatt knew what he wanted to say.

-"Not now Chris, not now... there'll be plenty of time afterwards.. when you are ok, this is just not the time, ok?"

-"But.."

-"No! Can we just pretend.. for a few days.. till you get better.. that nothing of these EVER happened, that there is just you and me and nobody else, like in the old times.. please?" He begged, everything in his body language was pleading for that opportunity.

-"And after those few days?"

-"After you get better, the world will start spinning again, and you and I will have to face each other with our new faces, and start paying for our mistakes. But that day is not today or tomorrow, right now, all you have to do is rest, ok? And all I have to do, is stay here, making sure nothing happens to you and taking care of you, ok?"

Chris was too tired, too sick, too confused and overwhelmed to resist the temptation to accept that offer.

-"Ok" he smiled back at his brother. That smiled at him protectively.

-"Shoot, I gotta go Chris, rest, k? Nala will be in the room if you need anything, and if you need me, you make her call me, ok? I'll be right back, I am sorry."

He kissed Chris' forehead as he orbed away.

-"Wyatt, what took you so long?"

-I was BUSY. What do you WANT Barbas?" Wyatt said angrily

Sparkling Cherries : Hey, first let me answer something of your other review, cuz I felt so bad when I read it I almost sent you and email.. but then I thought that would be awkward!! When I said SADD.. I didn't mean you were sad.. on the contrary.. u make me so happy every time you review. What I meant was that it was sad that you owned Chris, cuz I want to own Chris...get it?? Yeah... My obsession with Drew is kind of Sad though.. I admit it!

Back to this review.. No.. Wyatt didn't kill his family, Gideon did "That elder, that had tried to kill him since he could remembered, tried again. Only... this time, Gideon got caught and all his family died defending him." He was trying to kill Wyatt and his family tried to protect him and they all died. And he was in so much pain and feeling so guilty, specially for Chris' death, and then the fact that the people that were suppose to be the paragon of all good killed his family, the poor kid got a little psycho and he was like they try to kill me cuz I am too powerful and they don't really care about good but about power.. and they are allies with the enemy and blah blah blah.. all that matters is power. Does it make any sense?? But the big problem, is that one of the main issues Wyatt had, was that Chris died when he was suppose to protect him. So seeing Chris there kind of made his whole structure stumble.

And yes, the fights are going to come, just not right now. Wyatt is still way too happy to see his brother alive and way too scare that he might die to really focus in anything else. And he miss him too much, he just want to forget, pretend nothing ever happened.

CaliforniaChick: Sup girl? I hope you read the second part of the first Chapter with Chris POV.. cuz there was a mess when I upload.. and BLAH BLAH...Anyways.. I hope you still like the second chapter of this story. Wyatt wise.. I always thought Wyatt had to be nice at some point for Chris to be so sure he can be changed, and cuz Chris never showed too much anger towards Wyatt, so I guess his problem was that Wyatt had been good with him.

Pukah: I decided to continue it, actually I add a little more to that first chappie too. Yeah this one is sad.. but I have to express my dramatic side somewhere : ). No twins in here.. this is my online fan fic that the storyline doesn't correlate with the others.. It's just Chris and Wyatt and now Barbas...You don't give me cookies, Then I'll go and steal some from the ones I made Chriss bake in my other story :P!
