If You Want To Get Out Alive =Chapter 4

4-(Brother's)-41

POV: Blake2

She had slept for 5 days straight and in between then she had screaming nightmares. I woke up several times during the night but no matter how much I tried silencing her, it was impossible. She was always crying or screaming. Her ankle was twisted horribly and I feared I’d have to put the bone back into place. However after a couple days in a cast it moved on it’s own and the swelling went down incredible. 3

“Man, I really don’t think this is a good idea” my brother constantly nagged at me like a parent or something. “Man, would you just shut up” my voice was harsher and much more defensive then I intended it to be. “Fine but it’s your funeral, so do you want to be ashes or do I have to burry you out in the back yard” the annoying twin beside me said and I laughed softly. 4

Unfortunately I was a twin, my brother was 10 seconds younger then me and constantly proved it. He had darker brown hair then I did and his eyes were much more hazel then mine. I had golden sunshine hair that was often unkempt and long. I also had more light green eyes that often was said were like cat’s eyes. Occasionally hair hung over into my eyes in a side ways manner but other times I just had bangs. My brother had his shorter and much more like a guy who had come out of prison or the army. He worked for the bank, taking over the family business after our parents died in a car crash and I took over the house rental business. 5

I had broken up with my girlfriend of 1 whole year and was out walking, when I found a teen girl. The girl laying before me now on my bed completely asleep. When I found her she was pale and seemed to have been running quite a ways. Where she lived I was unsure of and what she was running from was a mystery to me as well. I did not hesitate in picking her up in my arms and carry her toward my car. Driving into town only 10 minutes away and letting a stranger stay in the house. Which of course was much to the displeasure of my brother. 6

“Sammy-Boy, can I talk to you please” he said softly using the nickname he was only aloud to use which had no involvement with my name. “What” I said after I had followed him out into the hallway, closing the door a bit. “Man, she is taking over your life and you don’t even know who she is” Mel my brother said flexing his thick arm muscles. “What about the girls you bring home, you can’t except me to believe they are any different” I said softly back and he rolled his eyes. “True but they don’t stay this long” he says triumphant of finding a hole in my theory. “Ah but none of then have been knocked out that long either or had a serious injury” I said back my voice seeming to hold determination. 7

“Alright, listen tomorrow morning I am leaving for a business meeting and I’ll be gone for quite some time” my brother said finally getting to the point. “Oh, you want me to be careful and not welcome you home as an uncle is that your warning, little brother” I said my voice set and cold, apparently this girl brought out the protective mode in me. “No I just simply mean when I come home I want to find you alive” Mel said softly in a gentle way but somehow it triggered nothing in me now. “Fine but if I die, sprinkle my ashes all over the field out back” I said and he let out a snort heading to his room down the hall. 8
