Chapter 13 - We actually care

TCO's POV

I was walking around the kitchen, nervously checking my phone every few moments. Second wasn't home yet. He didn't tell us he was going anywhere, he didn't anwser my calls. I was stressed out and I didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I should look for him or wait for him to get home. What was I supposed to do!?

"What if something happned to him? What if he's hurt? WHAT IF HE GOT KIDNAPPED-" I was cut off by Dark

"Relax Chosen. He's probably just at a friend's house and his phone died. He'll be fine."

"But what if he's not? What if something happened to him? There's so many posibilities! He could get ran over by a car, get bitten by a dog with rabies, as I already mentioned, get kidnapped, get beaten up-"

"Chosen! Second is not five. He'll be fine."

"BUT WHAT IF HE WON'T BE FINE?! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO THEN?!"

"He will be fine Chosen. Now for fuck's sake, calm the hell down."

I contined nervously pasing around the kitchen, untill I heard the front door opening. I ran over there to see Second. However, Second looked terrible. His clother were dirty, he had a few bruises on him and his nose was bleeding.

"Second! Holy shit, what happened to you?!" I yelled as I kneeled down in front of him.

"I- I- I..." He mumbled in a raspy voice.

"Do you have any idea how worried I was?! Was it this hard to anwser the damn phone or tell me you're going somewhere-" My yelling was cut off by Dark's.

"CHOSEN! Do us all a favor and SHUT THE FUCK UP!" He yelled.

Dark walked over to us. He took a good look and Second before calmly asking:

"What happened kid?"

"I- I- I... I- I got into a- a... a fight..." Second suttered out. He sounded like he was about to cry.

"With who?! Why?! What happened?!" I asked.

"I- I- It doesn't m- matter-"

"Yes it does! Now tell us what happened damnit!"

"I- I- I-"

"Quit fucking suttering and tell us what the fuck happened-" I got cut off by Second.

"WHY DO YOU CARE ALL OF A SUDDEN?! MY WHOLE LIFE YOU TWO NEVER CARED SHIT ABOUT ME!! WHENEVER DAD MADE YOU TWO DO SOMETHING WITH ME YOU ALWAYS COMPLAINED THAT I'M A THIRD WHEEL! YOU NEVER GAVE A FUCK ABOUT ME OR MY FEELINGS! SO STOP FUCKING PRETENDING THAT YOU CARE! STOP PRETENDING YOU GIVE A FUCK! BECAUSE YOU DON'T! WE ALL KNOW THAT! JUST FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE!" With that said, Second stormed off to his bedroom.

I stood there, flabbergasted. I looked over at Dark.

"What was that?"

"Our life mistakes." Dark shrugged. "Come on, we gotta check on him."

We walked over to Second's bedroom. I knocked on the door.

"Second? Could we please come in?"

After a moment, Second replied in a weak voice:

"Yeah..."

We walked in. Second was sitting on his bed, leaning against the wall. He was curled up into a ball. He lifted his head when he saw us. He was definitely crying.

I walked over to the bed and sat down next to him, Dark did the same thing.

"Second? What happened?" I said softly.

"I got into a fight..."

"With who-"

"Did you win?" Dark interrupted me.

"I'm afraid I did."

"Great! Attaboy Second!" Dark gave Second a pat on the shoulder.

"Dark!" I hissed at him. This was not what we were supposed to be doing, but Second seemed to play along.

"Wait, you're not upset that I got into a fight...?"

"No. We're not upset. We're worried about you Sec. Right Cho?"

"Well, yeah. You have no idea how stressed out I was when you were gone!"

Second was quiet for a moment.

"But why do you guys care all of a sudden?"

"Second, we always cared about you. More or less, we did. You're our little brother. We both love you and don't want anything bad to happen to you. I know we may be bad at showing it, but we do care. We actually care." I said.

Second was silent for a moment. He was definitely going to cry again. I decided to do something I didn't really do much. I wrapped my arm around him and pulled him into a hug. Second, as I expected, started crying into my shouled. I gave Dark a 'Fucking do something you moron!' look. Dark placed his hand on Second's shoulder and gave me a 'Are you fucking happy now?' look. I nodded. This was good.

After a few minutes, Second seemed to be calming down.

"I- I- I'm sorry for yelling earlier..." He mumbled.

"It's okay. We yell all the time. No biggie." Dark patted Second on the shoulder.

"Second? Could you tell us what happened?"

"I got into a fight with... a bully of mine..."

"You were bullied?!" Both me and Dark yelled at the same time.

"Y- yeah..."

"Why?!"

"Because I'm a hollow-head. People don't like hollow-heads. Anyways... I got into a fight with my bully. But the problem is that I think I beat him a lill too hard and... I feel guitly now..."

I was about to say something, but Dark started talking instead:

"Second, if that kid was bullying you, there is absolutely no reason you should feel bad about beating his ass."

"You really think so?" Second asked.

"Hell yeah! And if that little rat even tries to touch you again, my fists are gonna talk to him." With that said, Dark cracked his knuckles.

Second giggled.

"You'll kick his ass, huh?"

"I'll fucking destroy him if it's nessesary."

Second giggled once more. Then I realized what Dark's plan was. He wanted to distract Second from the negativity of the situation. Honestly, I was impressed. I never knew Dark could actually talk to Second without calling him names.

"Alright, alright you two. Enough of that for the moment. I have an idea." I said.

"And what would that be?"

"How about I help Second get cleaned up and all, and after that we do something together? Like watch a movie, or play some games?"

"Oh fuck yes! I'll fucking kick yall's asses! Yall are gonna regret this decision! Imma go set the games up!" Dark left the room, clearly excited.

I brough Second to the bathroom and helped him with his bleeding nose.

"Chosen?" He asked softly.

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

For some reason, hearing that short sentece from him made me feel really happy and warm inside. I smiled.

"Love you too lill bro."

"Are you two coming or not?!" Dark yelled.

"Goddamnit, give us a moment!" I yelled back.

That might've been he best night of my life. I had a lot of fun with Second and Dark. Heck, I even discovered a few things about Second that I didn't know. I was happy that we were all together. Who knew that we could all get along so well.
