Yeah, I had a little boy talk with my brother.
The moment I saw Nick all bloody and wounded I knew something terrible had happened.
“What the heck?” I demanded as I dragged Nick out of his bed.
He had already been sleeping, it’s just that I forgot my cap in his room and when I entered it I saw his clothes bloodstained and I took a peek at his face, only to discover it bloody and bruised.
“What happened?” I demanded
Nick looked at me in anger.
I had his meds in my hand just in case he freaked out on me or tries to kill me, believe me it happened once.
“none of your business” he said, looking away.
That was a setback, I was not prepared for a calm answer
“what happened Nick?” I asked again, between gritted teeth.
“Just let it go Joe”
What kind of answer was that.
“Nick I swear if someone did this to you, I swear I’ll kill them” I demanded
“Yeah? And you’ll tell them that I’m your brother and that I’m crazy, stashed here at the top floors hidden from everyone” Nick demanded
I found myself in silence.
No. I will never do that. I will not tell anyone about Nick, I was not prepared for that.
I just said that because I felt anger inside me because someone dared do this to Nick? My brother?
“who was with you?” I demanded
He avoided my eyes.
“Who was with you when you went out?”
“Demi” he said
That stupid stupid girl. What was she thinking?
I took out my phone, ready to scream at her over the phone.
“She saved Frankie” Nick suddenly said
“What?” I demanded
“We went out. Frankie was bullied and she saved him”
“didn’t look that way, you’re the one all bloody and wounded here” I said
“They hit her” Nick said
They hit a girl? What kind of pigs were they?
“They hit a girl?” I asked
“they were pigs” Nick said
“and you hit them back?” I know that now
“Yeah”
That was the coolest thing Nick could possibly do right now. I wanted to hug him.
“It’s instinct” I said, he looked at me and he understood me.
“I guess it’s every boy’s instinct to protect others”
“Frankie needed me” Nick said
“It’s every brother’s reflex to protect one another” Joe said
He looked at me like he wanted to say something, but I could tell from his eyes that I will not be able to answer his question.
I turned to walk away,
“Joe” Nick called out to me
“what?” I said
“You should talk to Frankie” Nick said.
