Lost Without You
An Atwood Brother Oneshot.
"I hate you!" screamed thirteen year old Trey Atwood as he ran out the front door of the small, rundown house in Chino belonging to Dawn Atwood and her 'boyfriend of the moment'. Dawn let out an agitated sigh as she went to the kitchen in search of a vodka bottle and a smoke. Ten year old Ryan Atwood ran outside after his brother, only to see his bike gone and no Trey in sight. Ryan's eyes shone with worry as he sat down on the porch to wait for Trey to come back.
Hours passed, and Trey still hadn't come back. It was getting late and Ryan had hardly moved all day, let alone eaten. The ten year old stood, reluctantly going into the house to find some dinner and then continue to wait for Trey. Another hour passed, and it had started raining in Chino, making Ryan sit by the window instead of on the porch.
The rain continued for hours, and Ryan started to get tired, but refused to sleep. He was drifting in and out of sleep around ten pm when he heard a clatter outside. He snapped awake and looked outside, to see Trey dumping his bike on the porch. Ryan raced outside and tackled his big brother in a hug. "Where were you!" Ryan yelled over the rain at his brother. Trey looked down at Ryan "I was thinking." He replied, looking down at his, now wet, little brother. "Are you okay?" he yelled over the rain. Ryan nodded "I was worried about you…" he replied, giving his brother another hug. Trey hugged him back "Sorry bro, it won't happen again." Ryan looked up at him "Promise?" he inquired. "Promise." Trey said with a smile. Ryan grinned up at him and the brothers Atwood went inside, unknown to what the future would bring.
