Brothers

Jack was out with his friends while Toby was following him. As much as he loved his baby brother he wished with his friends Toby would leave him alone with them and not follow them around. Toby could be a little snitch when he wanted to be.

He'd told their parents he'd seen Jack smoke a cigarette and Jack had had to promise his dad he wouldn't again. He wouldn't give up though. He just tried to smoke behind Toby's back now. His friends smoked and he liked the feeling of doing it it felt cool.

Jack was torn between smoking and Toby being around. He just wished he'd leave him alone and let him smoke with his friends. Sometimes he hated having a little brother around when he was with his friends. Why couldn't he just leave him alone!

"Toby, go away. Leave us alone," he said annoyed.

"But Jack you're meant to be looking after me," he answered.

"Oh just go away, Toby."

"Jack..."

"Toby."

He nodded and carried on walking towards home frightened hoping his big brother would catch up with him. He was only six and he felt like someone was following him. He was really scared and knew mummy and daddy wouldn't like him being on his own. They were really protective of him.

Jack breathed a sigh of relief and took the cigarette off Jordan. Jordan lit it for him and he took his first puff smiling. Oh how he loved a cigarette even when his dad had told him not to smoke. It always felt good to do something he wasn't allowed.

Toby felt strong arms wrap around him and felt the ground go from underneath him while she screamed for his brother. He kept screaming for him as the man picked him up only for the man's hand to cover his mouth. He'd never been so scared as he kicked the man but he wouldn't let go of him.

Jack heard his brother call for him and then a muffled sound. He looked towards where his brother had headed and even though it was a long road he couldn't see him. He could only see a car speeding off.

Oh god his parents were going to kill him! He'd told his brother to go away only so he could have a smoke and now he'd been kidnapped. His parents were going to kill him! It was all his fault. Oh god, what had he done?! He'd lost his brother and it was all his fault.
