'Gordon' Alan shouted 'Come on wake up, don't leave me. Not now…' Alan's eyes scanned over his brothers damp skin 'Come on Gordon, I know you can hear me. Wake up…please' Alan ran his hand through his brothers hair, blood stained his hand as his fingers ran over the wound on his brother's head

'Please Gordon, don't leave me…not now, its not time for you to go yet' Alan leant forwards letting his head rest on his brother's still chest

'Please don't go…'


Alan had watched Gordon earlier in the morning doing breaststrokes in the pool but had soon retreated to his room to sort it out. It was now noon as he walked down the steps that lead to the ground floor. He could smell lunch being cooked as he padded out onto the deck. As before he could see his brother in the pool and he retreated back into the house.

'Where's Gordon' it had been ten minutes since he had shouted his brother and he still hadn't come inside. Alan made his way back out onto the deck, his brother lay in the pool face down. There was something wrong.

'GORDON!!' Alan ran down the steps and dived into the pool, he came up right next to Gordon and quickly rolled him over. He dragged his brother to the edge of the pool and pulled him out letting him lie down on the deck 'Come on Gordon' he started CPR on his brother.

Gordon spluttered and coughed up some of the water in his lungs. Alan took him in his arms,

'I love you lil bro, remember that' His brothers' body became limp in his arms as he slipped down to the floor.

'Gordon' Alan shouted 'Come on wake up, don't leave me. Not now…' Alan's eyes scanned over his brothers' damp skin
