Derek walks into the kitchen and finds his children sitting at the table eating pizza, Meredith wouldn't be impressed by their choice of dinner.
"I've got to go to work now, but remember George you're in charge. Make sure your brother is in bed at a reasonable hour, and make sure he does his homework"
"You say the same thing every time Dad. I think we get the idea by now" Luke replies with a smirk.
Derek moves over to him and pinches his side "Yeah well I'm just making sure because I don't want to be told by George that you were ignoring him all night"
"I'll look after him Dad its fine. I'll make sure everything is done and I'll make sure Ella doesn't sneak out again" George says glancing at his sister who was biting into a slice of pizza.
"Good" Derek says eyeing his daughter "If I found out you have snuck out again you're going to be in serious trouble"
Ella sighs. "It was one time"
"Yeah well it better only be that one time. Right I really need to go. Your mom will be home during the night. I'll see you lot when you get home from school tomorrow, behave and I love you" Derek shouts as he walks out of the door closing it behind him.
George was lying on the floor with his laptop in front of him and his Math homework next to him, half completed. He was about to turn on the TV so he could catch the end of the baseball game until he felt someone lie down next to him.
He turns to look and sighs. "What do you want Luke?"
"You love me right George? I mean I'm your little brother so you love me right?"
George hesitates but nods. "Right"
"Well I need a really big favour…" Luke says with his best puppy dog eyes.
"Christ, what do you need?" George asks annoyed. He was glancing down at his Math work which at this rate would never be done.
"I have hockey practice tonight and no way of getting there so will you please drive me"
"Luke you know I'm not allowed to drive you, now get out of here" George replies pushing his brother in the arm.
"Please George" He begs moving closer to his older brother.
George grips his brother's shoulders and looks him in the eye. "There is no way I'm driving you to hockey"
"George" Luke moans pushing his brother repeatedly.
"Go upstairs and do your homework now" George orders pushing off his brother.
"You're a dick" Luke spits getting up and walking off.
"Yeah, yeah I've heard it all before" George shouts after him.
It was half an hour later when Luke came down in full hockey gear. George looked at him strangely watching him walk towards the front door.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asks his brother who turns to look at him innocently.
"I'm going to hockey practice"
"And how are you getting there?"
Luke shrugs his shoulders. "I'm going to walk"
George stands up and moves over to his brother. He looked down at him with raised eyebrows. "It's dark outside and freezing"
"Yeah well you won't drive me so I have no other choice" Luke replies before opening the front door. Before he could walk out his brother had gripped his arm and shut the door.
"Go back upstairs"
"No way, I'm going George and you can't stop me" Luke says before quickly opening the door and running outside.
"Christ sake Luke!" George shouts running after his brother and dragging him back inside.
"I'm going! I need to go!" Luke shouts angrily pulling away from his brother.
George runs his hand through his hair. "Fine. Go and get a jacket and I'll drive you, but only this one time and you never tell anyone about this okay?"
Luke grins. "I swear. Thanks Georgie!" He says running upstairs to his room.
"Ella! I'm just going to drive Luke to hockey. I'll only be half an hour tops!" George calls up the stairs and almost instantly his sister appeared in her pale pink checked pyjamas.
"Mom and Dad said you're not allowed to drive us around yet George" Ella reminds her brother as she walks down the stairs to him.
"It's just to hockey, anyway he's being a little jerk about it. It'll be easier just to take him"
"George, don't take him. You're in charge. He's your little brother, you're supposed to protect him not give in to him every time he wants something"
"I know he's my little brother Ella" George replies irritably "Sometimes it's just easier to do what he wants, you know that"
Ella hears Luke come up behind them and smiles at him. "George please don't take him. It's dangerous to drive in the dark and you're not very experienced"
"I promise we'll be fine, I'll be home in half an hour" George promises. He kisses his sister on the head before turning to his brother "Go and get in the car bud"
Luke runs past them both and out of the front door. George turns to follow but feels his sister's hand on his arm. He turns to look at her.
"George, Just tell him no" She says. George brushes her off and walks out of the house.
He had only been driving for about 10 minutes but already he was regretting it. How his parents managed to cope driving his brother around George would never understand.
"I don't like this song" Luke frowns skipping through his brother's Nickelback CD which was playing.
"Leave it alone, my car my rules" George swats his brother's hand away.
"Not fair" Luke moans ignoring his brother and continuing to skip through. George pulled up to a cross road, and whilst they waited he turned to his brother.
"Luke, I'm serious stop it, or we will just go home and you can miss hockey"
"You sound just like dad! Come on George please just let me choose a song" Luke begs
"No"
"Please" Luke grips his brother's arm
"No" George shrugs his brother off that was when he saw it. The van heading right for them.
"LUKE!" George screams but it was too late. The van smashes into the side of the car. George is plunged forward his head smashing in to the front window. His arm snaps and he's knocked unconscious before he can see his brother. Luke had been thrown out of the car, his body was limp on side of the road, and he wasn't breathing.
