Disclaimer: I own nothing!
A/N: A couple people have expressed Charlie's OOC-ness and I do have my reasons for portraying him as thus. I started this fic a looong while ago, back during season one, where he was shy, unconfident, and refused to tell his brother his feelings. Season One and the beginnings of Two showed a much less outgoing Charlie who worshipped his brother, and a Don who didn't want his little brother anywhere near his FBI life. Throughout the seasons Charlie has grown to be more like Don, and Don has digressed.
So with that said...you may continue...

Tuesday 6:42pm
He got up and rushed to his brother's bedroom doorway.
"Dad!" he yelled down the stairway. "Dad!" his voice got louder as the knowledge that this was an emergency began to sink into his whirling mind.
His father appeared at the bottom of the stairway in a red checkered apron. His face was startled and he held a wooden spoon in his right hand.
"Donnie, what's going on?" he asked sharply.
"Start the car. Charlie's sick," Don said looking at him with weighty eyes. "We need to get him to the hospital now."
"Wha…"
"Hurry!" he snapped at his father not wanting to play 20 questions. He'd seen cases like Charlie's back at college and knew how quickly it could set in and how quickly it could become fatal.
He went back to his brother's side to find that his eyes were fully closed and his breathing was grated. He swept his brother's sweat matted hair off his forehead as he prepared to lift him.
"Charlie," he urged his brother quietly to awaken.
"Mmmm…"
"Charlie we need to go now. You need to help me though, okay?"
A flutter of his eyelids was good enough for Don who swung his brother's limp left arm over his shoulders and heaved him to his feet. He felt Charlie dragging his feet in what would've been normal steps up until they reached the hallway.
Don felt his brother's body sag and become completely lifeless as he tried to keep him off the ground.
