Chapter 309

"How come you haven't been up ever since father and mother died?" I ask and I get no answer. I get no answer because Scott has fallen back asleep and so I'm left to stare at him wondering exactly how my younger brother has been living his life up till now.

It seems that little gesture that he had performed just now, k don't know but i feel it means something, it means something because I practically read meaning into it.

I'm guessing that is how he had held a false smile for us, that is how he had used each and every bit of effort he had with the aim to maintain that smile in front of us, for aunt, and the rest of us.

Well, Scott didn't really give anyone the impression that he was totally happy, but yet he still made us unworried about him, he made us unworried about his actions or his reactions to certain things because we all thought he was okay.

Scott is practically wise, and he is wiser beyond his years to actually be sincere, but still, I had not been there to give him care and attention he needed.

Aunt does her best but yet I doubt she actually has enough time from work to be taking care of two teenage kids like they were still babies, but I realise that is what Scott had needed, that is what he still needs, as much care and attention as he can possibly get and I'm mortified at this.

I'm supposed to have given in that, I'm supposed to have been there for him when he was feeling lonely and dejected, instead are doing that, i was fooling around with Aron. I had been fooling around with other people who aren't family all because I thought I loved them.

I want to begin onto a train of thought at this, I want to lapse into a train of thought which should make me think about my life up to now and my love decisions up till now, but someone else pokes his head through the doorway.

"Why is everywhere silent?" Eras says whispering as he sees Scott's figure aplayed out on the floor.

A smile forms on his face, a smile which I cannot explain and which makes my own thoughts float even though is looking at my brother.

"What did you prepare?" I say not taking the initiative to whisper but simply speak out loud.

It seems the moments Scott hears my voice, the moment he hears my voice his eyes simply snap wide-open even though they are still sleep filled.

He sits down on the centre road and pats the spot next to him. I can get what he's implying by this. I can get what he wants to imply by this and so I stand up from the bed and I sit down me to him.

Eras simply looks at the both of us and a smirk of a smile blossoms on his face.

I cannot tell you how handsome Eras is because it will simply be an understatement, and to have someone like him, staring down at you and smiling, it is even better than the meal that he prepared.
