Remington nods a small smile on his face as Emerson sits back down. Emerson covers himself with the blanket as well he was on the opposite side of the couch. Remington opens the chips and eats one before deciding he wasn't that hungry. He sits the bag of chips on the coffee table and lays down his eyelids getting heavy.

When Remington fell asleep Emerson turned the TV off. He didn't really care for the movie but Remington found it entertaining so he put it on.

He gets off the couch Remingtons sleeping on and grabs another blanket and goes to the other couch. He lays down covering himself with the blanket. He could sleep in the guest room but he didn't feel like he should. He didn't know if Remington would need him at all.

Remington, although he was a few years older,  Emerson worries about him more than he should. If Remington felt anything close to what Emerson has than he has a reason to worry about him. And right now he knew it was far beyond that, it was beyond what any of them felt.

Sebastian was in a long distance relationship as well but he handled it well. He missed her, of course, he was even torn over it. Sure he expressed that he missed her but it wasn't like Remington. Remington couldn't go a minute without thinking about her, he loves her, and that was something that wouldn't go away. Emerson wouldn't stop him from loving her he just had to stop him from hurting himself in the process.

It was the middle of the night Emerson wakes up to see Remington curled up on the couch. He couldn't see Remingtons face but could tell he was crying because his body was shaking slightly. He could hear his uneven breaths and sobs, which were what woke him in the first place. Emerson goes to the couch Remington is on and grabs his hand sitting down next to him. Remington sits up looking at Emerson. He felt like he failed, he didn't want Emerson looking after him. He puts his head in his knees knowing he was broken. Tears streamed down his face and he realized he had no idea if he could be repaired.

Emerson held onto his older brother as he cried. He didn't know when it would end. He wanted to take away any pain Remington felt but knew he couldn't. He knew Remington was slipping away. It would be hard for the first couple of months he knew that. So the least he could do is be there for him. Remington sighs laying his head on Emerson's shoulder.

"Thank you Em, it means a lot that you are here."

"It's the least that I can do. You're having a rough time right now, I just want the best for you."

Remington nods. He wipes his teary eyes with the back of his hand. His phone buzzes and he reaches for it seeing a pointless notification from a game he recently downloaded. He chuckles unlocking his phone and going onto Twitter.

@RemingtonLeith: Hey, @EmersonBarrett you're an amazing younger brother and I wouldn't trade you for anyone else. You've been there for me through today and I know you're going to be there no matter what. Thank you I love you. 🖤

Emerson looks at his phone a small smile on his face when he read the tweet Remington made.

@EmersonBarrett: @RemingtonLeith Love you 🖤 I hope you feel better soon.

Remington smiled at Emerson scrolling through the comments.

@ThixxBoySoldier: @RemingtonLeith @EmersonBarrett Aw, hope you feel better Rem! Long distance does that! Just stay strong. 🖤❤️

@SebastianDanzig: @RemingtonLeith @EmersonBarrett Love you guys but it's 2 am go to bed.

@RemingtonLeith: @SebastianDanzig what are you doing up then??

@SebastianDanzig: @RemingtonLeith for me to know and for you to find out.

Remington likes Sebastians reply and rolls his eyes shutting his phone off. He looked next to him seeing his younger brother still there. A small laugh escaped him when he sees that Emerson had started falling asleep. Remington sighs, within minutes he heard quiet snores come from Emerson. He seemed so peaceful Remington didn't want to wake him. He lightly moves Emerson's body off of him so he come move and then he gets off the couch.

Remington gets a text, it was Sebastian. He sits on the other couch and opens his phone.

Sebastian: how are you holding up?

Remington: I'm feeling better, not the best though

Sebastian: Can't sleep I'm guessing

Remington: yeah

Sebastian: I see you stole Emerson.

Remington: He fell asleep right after replying to me. Must've been tired I think I woke him up.

Sebastian: did you get any sleep?

Remington: yeah like 5 hours.

Sebastian: you must've went to bed early

Remington: I went to bed close to 8 and woke up at like 1 or sometime around then.

Sebastian: was Emerson snoring?

Remington: Nope, I just can't keep myself from waking up. I can barely sleep.

Sebastian: Aww, that sucks, are you sure you're okay?

Remington: Am I ever really okay though?

Sebastian: Mr Leith. I know you're going to refuse but I am taking you out tomorrow, you can't be inside moping around forever.

Remington: dude. I have Emerson over I have emotional support.

Sebastian: wow you're passing up going to a party for Emerson.

Remington: he's literally an emotional support teddy bear

Remington: plus parties is just going to be me pretending I belong even though I have no idea what to do.

Sebastian: just drink or something you animal.

Remington: are you trying to fuck me up

Sebastian: for sure

Remington: I'll go to your next party but I don't plan on doing shit later.

Sebastian: This week, Friday

Remington: you really got your life planned. But I'll go I probably don't have plans.

Sebastian: alright I'll take you then. You got 3 days to savor your lonely life.

Remington: thanks for ruining what I stand for. Loneliness and depression.

Remington: I'm fucking tired so I'll try sleeping now 😂. Goodnight.

Remington laughs quietly setting his phone down. He pulls the blanket over him and lays down falling asleep within minutes.
