Nick's POV
"Ha, ha. Damn, I sure fooled you!" The brunette spat bluntly. It was crystal clear she was truly regretful though. I realised the minute I looked into her eyes.
"Yeah, but it ain't funny" I decided to pretend I was pissed at her though.
"Sorry" Miley whimpered out apologetically as she stroked softly a lock of her gorgeous hair.
"You're making it harder than it really is. I can't stay mad at you if you keep giving me that face" I eventually gave in. She shifted the gaze back at me as she stared at me blankly. A few seconds later, she fell backwards.
"Miley" I glanced at her unfazed. "You're not fooling anybody again" I waited for her to reply, but she didn't. "Ok, you wanna play? Let's play then. Tickle, tickle, tickle"
Regular POV
Unbeknownst to Nick, this time Miley wasn't joking. He sucked it up and shook her head softly, realizing she was really passed. He kept shaking her body. However, it was no use. In despair, he let out a stifled screambefore sitting up and looking around, which led to his older brother visit.
"Nick, what the hell is going on here?" Joe waltzed in briskly. Then, he looked down at Nick who had tears rolling down his cheeks.
Nick couldn't believe anything that was happening in that room. She had the girl he loved before his eyes, but there wasn't anything he could do. He just pulled his hair out with frustration.
"Nick, is she passed?" Joe inquired, strongly believing that his brother had nothing to do with that girl lying on the floor.
"Joe, help me" Nick requested fixating his teary eyes on the the brunette's motionless body. He glared at his brother who was bending over, in order to get closer to Miley.
"Dude, this is serious. I don't think she's breathing" Joe muttered frantically, looking back at Nick, who had already loosened the grip on Miley.
The situation was startling him to the point that it was getting hard for him to breathe normally. He felt a sharp pain in his chest.
"Shit, Nick. Chill out!" Nick felt his heart beat faster and faster until he couldn't breathe. "Hey, hey. Don't do this to me. Just breathe in an out. One, two, three" Joe said reassuringly, stroking his brother curls.
"Kevin. Scoot in Nick's room" Joe requested wisely. A few seconds later, he heard footsteps rushing into the room. The door slammed open.
Kevin's POV
"What did I do now?" I protested groggily. Joe glanced at me puzzled as he proceeded to talk.
"You did nothing. Go look for Jack" Joe muttered softly. I noticed Nick hardly breathing on the ground and a girl who didn't seem to be moving either.
"What's this all about?" I spat out bluntly. The unusual occurrences of the previous minutes succeeded each other at a dizzy space. It wasn't just the shock of finding both bodies in such bad condition. It was the crazy idea of Joe having anything to do with that.
"Please" He pleaded. I took a last glance at the scene with my eyes popping out of their sockets, before stepping out of the doorway.
I run down the stairs and quickly out of the house, into Jack's backyard. I found him cutting the grass with the lawnmower.
"Hey. Kevin!" Jack greeted bizarre. He was a 30-year-old doctor who lived next door. Jack and I became friends two weeks after he moved in. Not so much later, I introduced him to my brothers and parents, and soon they got along. Every week he visits us (and so do we), but never as a doctor.
"Can you explain to me why did you come in through the garden?" The young doctor glanced down at me. I had no time for explanations. The situation was very critical.
"Please, Dr. Shepard, we need you at home" I begged hopeful, pointing to Nick's room. Jack quickly ran after me, making his way to the house through the dense vegetation. And I know it isn't the right timing, but I'll say it though: That awkward moment when you realise that your backyard looks like a jungle. I'm gonna have Jack helping us right after he finishes.
