《 I'm okay! Don't worry! 》

《 Chapter 1 》

Kel woke up to the smell of food in the air. He then immediately knew that Hero was cooking breakfast for them. Kel then quickly got out of his bed and slipped on some bright, dandelion, fuzzy socks and ran out of his room. He quickly saw Hero making breakfast and he smiled. Hero always cooked the best food even if it was slightly burnt. "Oh, goodmorning, Kel!" Hero exclaimed as he saw Kel run into the kitchen. "Morning, Hero! What'cha cooking?" Kel asked as Hero sighed and slightly smiled. "Well, I don't know. I made eggs but I thought you might also want something else with it." Hero said as Kel just stood their looking at his older brother. "So, do you want me to make French Toast with it?" Hero said as Kel's smile got brighter than the sun. Hero liked whenever Kel smiled, it let him know that everything was alright after... "Yes! Oh sorry, Yes Please!" Kel said as Hero chuckled and asked him to get the bread out of the pantry. Kel nodded and walked over to the pantry and grabbed the bread. He also saw cinnamon and decided to grab it since you need cinnamon for French toast! Kel walked back over to his older brother and handed him the stuff. "Ah, thanks, Kel!" Hero said as he started to make French Toast. Kel wondered how Hero was so... perfect? He was so good at everything reading, baking, cooking, driving, school, he was perfect. Meanwhile, Kel was really only good at sports in his eyes. He could barely read a page without getting bored, he couldn't bake or cook without burning down a house, he couldn't drive at all, and he isn't that all good in school. "So, Kel! What are you going to do today?" Hero said trying to start up a conversation so the silence wasn't so loud. Kel looked up from where he was standing and looked at Hero. Kel put on a fake smile quickly before Hero made eye contact with him. "Uh, I dunno! I'm probably going to stop by Sunny's!" Kel said as Hero sighed and chuckled. "You always go to his house to see if he will come out. Why do you always do that?" Hero asked as Kel felt himself getting hotter by the second. He knew he was blushing just thinking of Sunny. "I- uh, I uhm...." Kel stuttered as Hero put eggs and French Toast and handed Kel a plate. "Hm?" Hero said as Kel took the plate and sat at the table next to Hero. "Look, I just he's my best frie-" "Boyfriend." "Best friend.... WAIT WHAT!?" Kel exclaimed as Hero started to chuckle knowing Kel has liked Sunny for years. "Look, I'm not going to judge you for liking Sunny. Everyone has a crush..." Hero said as he suddenly turned depressed. Kel knew what Hero was thinking of, he was thinking of Mari. Ever since Mari's death, no one has been the same. Hero's been way more depressed, Aubrey completely changed, Basil suddenly disappeared, Sunny isolated himself for 4 years, and Kel... Kel is Faking everything so they will be happy. Kel sighed and put his hand on his brothers shoulder. Hero jumped a little and quickly looked at Kel. Hero was crying... no, not crying, sobbing. Kel smiles slightly trying his hardest to make his brother happy but it didn't work. All it did was make Hero angry, furious even. "Do you even care that Mari's dead!?" Hero yelled as he stood up and pushed Kel's hand off. Kel quickly stood up looking at his brother who was still crying. "O-Of course I do! She was my friend..!" Kel said letting a little bit of himself actually come out. "Where even were you when she died!?" Hero yelled putting his finger on Kel's chest and it slightly moving Kel. "I was comforting Aubrey! She was throwing up!" Kel exclaimed as Hero removed his finger from Kel's chest and wiped away his tears but they just kept coming back. "Yeah!? Well my apologies for you BEING ALL HAPPY WHILE THE REST OF US ARE MISERABLE." Hero yelled as he corned Kel and Kel fell to the ground. Kel has never seen Hero like this, Hero was always with Kel not against him. "Hero... why are you miserable...?" Kel asked trying not to let the tears in his eyes fall onto his skin. "Why am I miserable..? Because maybe IF MARI DIDN'T WANT TO DIE... SHE WOULD HAVE TOLD US... told me..." Hero said falling to the ground his knees hitting the floor. "She was my everything... you know this." Hero said as their parents came rushing in the room and immediately hugged Hero. But they left ignored Kel, completely ignored him. Kel knew that this whole situation was his fault, so he thought it would be best if he left. Kel stood up and went to his room, hoping that his parents would be too busy with Hero. He grabbed his backpack and grabbed a warm baby Blue shirt, some black basketball shorts, and some white knee-high socks, and his shoes and walks out his room. He walked to the front door to see no one there but he heard Hero crying from his room. Kel sighed and walked out the front door and started crying. Hero had never been like that, ever. Not even if Kel did something wrong, he never yelled at him or corned him. But this time, he did. Mari's death changed him, completely andKel hated it. Kel started walking down the street to Sunny's house, he knew Sunny would let him in probably.... hopefully.
