"What did you do?!" Alans voice starting to crack up, I know he's about to cry.
Scott walks over and pulls him into a hug, but Alan refuses and now is kicking at him. He eventually walks inside and to his room. Scott stares at me, Virgil checks up on John. Before any fighting could begin, he told Scott to help him and so moments later, I found myself alone, filled with regret, anger and stupidity. I killed my brother, he's going to die, I went too far.
Scott's POV:
My heart is racing and my mind is blank, all I can think about is saving my brother from dying. I told Gordon, but he never listens, I hope he learns his lesson once we save John, I just hope we are not to late. Blood fills the bed and Virgil starts right away. He told me to get stuff, I forgot what, but, I was just determined to save my brother. I'm just happy, that we were the only ones on the island. After gathering a whole lot of stuff, Virgil tells me to go comfort Alan and Gordon, while he performs surgery. I can definitely go comfort Alan, but I'm not in the mood to see the aquanaut who put my 2nd brother in a hospital bed. I walk out and see Gordon, next to the pool, sitting down, he's upset. I walk out to him, but hears me and walks away, I'm not going through this now .
"Gordon!"
"Leave me alone, Scott."
"What were you thinking? You think throwing people in the pool and killing them is a game? Do yo-"
"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, OKAY?"
"You done some stupid things in the past, but this, this is the most idiotic, stupidest and life threatening thing you've done!"
"I SAID I WAS SORRY!"
Gordon starts to cry, I don't care, I just hope he understands the seriousness of the situation and how it's not a game. I walk back in, he walks in the opposite direction. Out of sight, out of mind. I run upstairs and find Alan in his room, only for him to slam the door in my face.
"Alan, I know this is hard on you bu-"
"Scott, go and talk to Gordon, release your 'words of wisdom' if you have to. I'm not coming out until John's better"
"What if he doesn't get better? Are you going isolate yourself?"
"You should have told John about Gordon!"
"I didn't know that idiot was going to kill him!"
I know I'm never going to win an argument with my petulant little bro...wait...is...he opening the door? I WON THE ARGUMENT! I see tear tracks, obviously he's been crying, he runs and pushes me over, before running back and giving me a hug. I just hope Gordon doesn't do anything stupid, because of this. I see my medic of a brother walking down the hall as he finds his youngest and oldest brother on the floor. He had blood on his shirt, but relief on his face.
"Toughest thing I ever did. He's okay, just asleep. The cut was really deep and bits of bone everywhere, if we arrived 5 mins later, he wouldn't have made it. He suffered lot of blood loss, but I was able to get some in him" He looks around, but doesn't find his partner in rescue, he thought I would go comfort him, but I didn't. "Where's Gordon?"
"Probably swimming" I didn't give a damn, but deep down, I worried about him.
"He's not in the pool or the ocean and he's not answering his phone. I thought you talked to him" Virgil looked at me with question and a slight bit of anger.
"I did, I stated to him the seriousness of the situation." I just hope Virgil would shut up.
"That's not comforting! Are you playing favourites or something? Alan seems fine!But what about Gordon?"
"Well Alan wasn't the one who put your older brother in a hospital bed!" Why is he here bickering with me? If he's so worried about him, why doesn't Virg go and find him?
"Just because Gordon was having fun, doesn't me-"
"Having fun? You call putting John, in hospital bed, with a cracked skull, fun?"
"Scott, this is inconvenient! I have to talk to Gordon, about John, please."
I decide to help Virgil with his situation and saw a call from Gordon, as soon as we saw it, Virg answered it, but it was just a recorded message.
Hey Guys,
Don't expect me to come home for a bit
When John gets better I'll come home
See ya
Gordon's POV:
I just want to be alone, I don't want to be around anyone, I'll probably hurt them. Staying away from my brothers when one of them is hurt because of me, makes me think about my mistakes. I look up to the sky and see the multiple stars John would know of by heart, John. I feel the ocean breeze brush my hair and the sea spray kiss my skin, but neither of them makes me feel better. I hear a twig snap, and so does my head, maybe staying for the night in my backyard wasn't the greatest idea I had. I just hope of all people, John would be okay and he'd walked down and give me hug. I see a figuire emerge, I know it's one of my brothers, too tall for Alan, too scrawny for Virgil, less awkward for John. Great, the last person I want here; Scott. I hear the sand shift as he comes closer, until he sits right next to me and breaks the silence. But before he can talk, I walk off, only 3 metres down and sit there. Not am I still wanting to be alone and they can't acknowledge that, but I'm still angry at him for being such an stuck up son of a-
"Can we talk?" Scott leans over me, wanting an answer, I know he won't leave me alone.
"What do you want?" I say this cold and heartless, but deep down, I want to cry. He's probably going to yell at me and become my leader, not one time has he been my older brother, in a seriosness situation, just a guy who yells a lot.
"Earlier I was suppose t-"
"What? Teach me a lesson and throw me in the deep end of the pool? Yeah that happened"
"No, I was suppose to comfort you, I just wasn't in the mood. John wa-"
"Yeah, have fun playing favourites for the rest of your life, until John gets better, I'm not coming back" I storm of and back towards the house, I just hope he'll leave me alo-
"What if John died?"
I stop in mid-step, my back straightning, my skins turns cold, I start to cry. I walk up to him and push him, eventually falling over, but of course, he has to get back up. "If you ever mention those words again, I will consider either drowning you in the pool or have Thunderbird 2 land on you" I start to walk off before Scott pulls me into a hug, damnit, ah, what the hell? I hug him, my emotions starting to fire up, I eventually start to cry. He pulls me towards the house, I am being dragged by my arm. I walk past the pool, trying not to notice the blood. I see Virgil standing there, blood on his shirt.
Virgil's POV:
I see my partner in rescue, he's obviously been crying and I know he's scared. I hug him, no hesitation, okay, getting better.
"He's...is...he...okay?" My little brother Gordon stutters. I know he's worried about him, Alan joins us soon after he exclaims those words.
"He's okay, just resting, he'll be out by tomorrow, but won't be able to do much" I say holding the terrible twins as close as I could. "I've told Penny, she said she can't come, because of what happened and besides she has to go to an event . I know Gordo, you wanted to see her, but maybe this year, it can be just us?"
"I don't mind, I mean it's not like I...like...her...or...anything...pfft." Gordon startled. "Can we see him?" He looked at me with pleading eyes, he could.
"Yes you may, that's $23 dollars, Gordo" I had to mess with him, just a bit!
"Seriously, I could but, I don't want too, Virg" he challenged me, it was like that hydro-methane extractor all over again. "Allie, you coming in?"
Our youngest pilot, shook his head in response, he must have known that Gordon wanted to be alone with John, I don't blame him. We saw the aquanaut walk into the infirmary, shaking, we knew he was scared, I don't blame him. I just hope John won't freak out and go off at all of us.
John's POV:
What the heck happened? I was by the pool, next thing you know I was pushed and I'm here. Why am I in th- OW! my head, what did I do? I touched it and feel...stitches? I feel something wet and when I retract my hand I see it's covered in just a bit of blood. That would explain why I'm in the infirmary. My body is aching, the only things I can feel is my head and my hand laced with someone elses. I turn to see...Gordon? Or was that Alan? It's hard to determine who's who when their hair colour is roughly the same and your half blind.
"Hey Johnnie, you look like you got bashed by sea turtle!"
Yep, it's definitely Gordon. No one compares the state of something with a sea creature, unless you're Gordon. I look around and no one else is there, just medical stuff and...oh come on! Of course, every time we get hurt, Virgil thinks it's 'necessary' to get a frickin needle in your arm. In my opinion, he's secretly torturing us. "What the hell happened? Did I get into a fight? And can you tell Virg to stop putting frickin NEEDLES in my arms!"
Gordon stares at me as if I had gone, wait for it...space bonkers. It's the term my brothers used to describe if I have done something insane, scary or simply Tracy like. "First of all; Hi welcome back!, secondly; you didn't get into fight, thirdly; you know the rules when it comes to Virg, its "necessary" and lastly; I put you in this mess" he stares to the ground, not wanting to say anything else, but I want to know, because then I would have a good reason to kill Gordon instead of Virg.
"-sighs- I've been doing this thing lately where I either grab or push the others into the pool. Recently I pushed all three of them in and Scott warned me about it. Couple of days go pass and I decide to do it to you. I thought Scotty would at least tell you, but he didn't. That's why I told you to come outside, to have a little fun. But it didn't go to plan. When I pushed you, you slipped on some stray water, falling to the other side with your back and I...I...cracked.."
I ran my hand over the scar. Gordon was about to cry, I know it must be hard on him, I kinda figured out the ending, so I gave him a hug to show all is well. When he stood up straight, I used my good arm, the one that didn't have a needle in it and punched Gordon, quite hard actually, in the stomach. He curled up and fell to the ground, his stomach was hard, I think I broke my hand, Virg is not going to be happy. Gordon used the railing to get back up, sorry mate. "That's for frickin cracking my head, you idiot! Sorry, I had to get you back!"
"I understand..."
He sounded as if he was loosing air or something and about to cry.
