*Luke's perspective*
I felt everything around me crash in my world. What I once knew merely shattered pieces on the ground. I had to say goodbye to my big brother, yet I still couldn't believe it. Was it true? My big brother, the one I've looked up to all this time, was he secretly my baby brother? Why would he hide this? Is this why he suggested it for Nate? So he wouldn't be alone? I had a million questions swirl my head like stars. "You okay? You've hardly touched your lunch," Bailee said she she stole a fry, her black nail polish catching the gleams of the sun. Was everything always this different? Was I going crazy? Nothing about this made any sense to me. "Yeah, just not hungry," I told her as I pushed it away. "More for me I guess," she shrugged and began to eat my food. Man that girl had a pit in her stomach, but I love her for that. Most people would speculate we were dating, but been there done that and it didn't go over well. We're better off as friends.

*Josh's Perspective*
Everything was blurry. Was this the end? Was I gonna die here? Right now? That's when I felt a hand brush up against mine. "J-James?" I asked as I squinted at the blob. "It's okay baby, the doctors had to take out your contacts so you wouldn't ruin your eyes," he explained to me. I was stupid. How did I not realize? I was very clueless at times. "Can't ruin them anymore than they already are," I sighed as I sat up. "Babe, you know it's not true," James squeezed my hand. "How would you know?" I asked bitterly. "Don't need to use that tone with me mister," he said in his daddy tone. It sounded so sexy that it nearly makes me submit instantly. "Whatever you say," I laid against him. I could feel him stroke my hair."you know, I don't really see why you hide your natural eye color. They are beautiful," he told me, which made me blush. "No, they're ugly," I argued. "Really? Blue is so boring, I like your dark hazel," he said. "Well don't get used to it," I rolled my eyes at him. "Better watch the attitude mister," he warned in that sexy dad voice. I nodded, nuzzling into him. "So how's your leg?" He asked me. I blushed, actually liking how much he cared. "Hurts," I told him. He nodded and got up, going to tell the doctor I presume. Great. I don't want anymore medicine. When he left, I felt scared since everything was a blur and I was completely helpless. A few minutes later, someone walks in, causing me to back into the back far into the bed, wincing when I moved my leg. "Easy Tiger it's just me," I gasped. I hadn't been expecting Nate. "Where's everyone else?" I asked him. "They had other things to do so they dropped me off," he said as he gently grabbed my hand. When he did it, it wasn't the same. I preferred James's hand. "You can go home tomorrow, so that's good," he said to me, trying to make small talk. I nodded. "Yeah, if everything is cleared," I said as I rubbed my head. "Relax. You have nothing to worry about," he kissed my head. I blushed. I wasn't used to being the one cared for. God. It's going to be weird when I get home. I know Lukas told, and I'd more than likely be stuck on the couch as my brothers nurtured me, probably even after I have healed. I didn't want that. I only wanted James to take care of me. I was still the big brother. I need to act like it. I need to stay strong for them. They need me.

*Nate's Perspective*
I wanted to run into his arms, I wanted to cry. Seeing my big brother all helpless and his eyes squinting made me feel scared. I wasn't used to seeing him so vulnerable. He was supposed to be all strong and protective, but he was weak and frail, being the one who needed protection. I will be his big brother. Even though I've never been, I felt the need to. I was going to be the big brother. I held my breath going into the hospital room, but knowing he was coming home tomorrow made everything better. I didn't feel that scared. I knew he was. Poor Joshy. I hope he'll be alright. I know he's very scared, and probably traumatized. I am too, after what has happened with the bullies and the dinner. I held Josh close, wanting to comfort him. "You okay?" He asked me. I nodded. "I-I just want you to be okay," I told him. He smiled a little. "I am baby," he told me, causing me to blush. "I know you're baby," I said. He almost looked hurt when I said that. "Sorry," I looked down. "No, I'm sorry," he laid against me. Why was he being so awkward? Why was I being awkward. "I just didn't want anyone else to know," he sighed. "Why not?" I asked him with a worried expression. "Because, it was only for James, no one else," he sniffles, causing my heart to break. It'd been forever since I saw him like this. The last time he cried was when his old dog died. We had got that dog a few years after I was kicked out of the house. He had found him coming home from work one day and he had followed Josh all the way home. That's how it all started and why we have two stray dogs and five stray cats that occasionally visit. Marcus fell in love with the dog too. He was like a child on Christmas when he saw that sick dog with Josh. I would never forget that day.
