NATHAN

Chris was finally back home, and everything is more than perfect, father is more present and happy.

Jack and I are just glad that he wasn't killed.

But now I just wanna fix things with him, unlike before, I want him to love us, but that is not easy since he won't even come close to us, since he came he is really distant with us and avoid everything about us, he skips soccer practice and dinner at times just because of us!

"I've to postpone my next two meeting with the entrepreneurs." Fred said as he walk in the living room with Chris who had his training bag hanging over his shoulder.

"Uh, I can drop him if you want." I blurted out.

The both stare at me in disbelief.

"For you to repeat the same mistake?" Fred crossed his arms.

"No, I just wanted to drop him," I trial off.

"Why?" Fred kept staring deep in my soul! He won't drop the 'I don't trust you look.'

"I want to fix things." I pleaded with my eyes and he immediately understood, cause his face soften. "I promise to bring him back in whole. Please, is a sort of opportunity to fix my mistakes."

He sigh he glance at Chris then at me, "okay."

I grinned, my heart didn't stop tingling in joy.

"No way!" Chris simply said before walking out, Fred ran after him.

Few minutes later Fred return back with Chris.

"You watch on him!" He was deadly serious when he said that.

"With my life if is necessary." I beat my chest.

"Oh please." Chris rolled his eyes.

"Come on Christoph, I promise everything will be fine." Fred said as he look down at Chris.

"Am not sure! Heck you're not even certain!" He Mumble.

Fred didn't drop his look, it was a strong eye contact between Fred and Chris, the kept staring deep at each other before Chris gave up and sigh. That did work.

"Fine." He exited the room leaving only Fred and I.

"Am serious Stephen! If anything happens to your brother this time I'll not spare you. I swear." He glare dagger at me.

I gulp, "y-yeah." I've never seen this side of Fred, he is so scary!

"Good, you better don't loose sight on him, stay focus even if you won't blink for a sec."

"OK, I just wanna catch up Fred, I know what I did was wrong please trust me." I said and his face soften.

"The last time I trusted him in your hands, he got missing!"

"I know! But just give me one last chance! I promise to rewrite our story!" I pleaded.

He gave me a cold warning look before walking away.

Step 1 done, Step 2 remains to be seen.

**********

Five minutes in silent, was just enough to bring back bad memories.

"You can pull right here we are far enough from Fred's view." He said.

"Why?"

"Oh please, we both know you were kidding." He rolled his eyes.

"Kidding?" I furrowed my brows in confusion.

"We both know that you said that just to please Fred, you can pull here, I'll call a cab."

I shook my head, "no I wasn't kidding am really taking you to practice."

"Oh please." He scoff as he slump in his seat.

That hurts, "I really wanna drop you at practice and watch you ride then drive you back home." I said

"Gosh! Congratulation! You are going to watch me ride? That is the best of the day." He chuckled.

"Yeah, am going to watch you ride."

"I see, you can go to any extent for Fred's trust."

"Am not doing this for Fred, but-" I paused as I looked through the rare mirror, he had a red headphone on.

I sigh.

Fifteen minutes later we pulled in front of the ranch.

He quickly got out and slam the door walking into the crow of student.

I slowly got out into the seats where some people were seating, waiting for a competition? Cause there were lines and obstacles right in the middle of the ranch, ouhhh! This will be great to watch.

Chris came out later in a white riding pant and a red riding coat with black gloves and boot with a black helmet. He climbed on a white beautiful horse, and match to the line.

Beside him were other riders, the boy on a brown house was in green coat and black pant, I recognized him, he was Jesse and Cameron's brother, there is many other students in different uniform.

There was a loud sound of gunfire, and the race began. The horses ran with the speed of light.

Number six fell our her horse, and the crowd chorus an ouhhhh! Number five seem to have difficulties with make his horse jump the bars, but instead he flew over the bar all alone, and another ouhhhh erupted, number four was just too clumsy to hold the rein of the horse he ended up suspending head down while the horse ran, number three was too perfect, hitting the animal with a crop for it to move faster but instead the horse sat down and he rolled out causing the crowd to laugh.

It remains number two and number one Gabriel and Christopher. They jumped over the obstacles so easily like pros, Chris was ahead, Gabriel was just and inch away.

He lean closer to his horse and whispered something, they were bother heading to a gigantic obstacle, the bars were more higher than the previous, and in the middle of the bars stood a puddle.

Christopher increase his speed as the jumped over the bars successfully, it was just wonderful, I didn't noticed my breathing hitch during all that while.

As for Gabriel, his horse couldn't jump the obstacle at first so he had to return back to gain enough speed for his horse to jump successfully above the bars.

Chris cross the finish line just in time, the crowd stood up and cheered, his group did same.

Then Gabriel came second and number six third.

This is just wonderful, I didn't know he was that good at riding.

He totally freak me out when he stood on his horse back while it move waving to people.

I thought he would fall but that never happened.

After a lot of congratulations and petting on the back, Chris finally change out of his uniform.

He stop dead in track when he saw this girl with red hair, she walked closer to him.

The just Stare at each other in silence, they girl was about to say something before Gabriel interrupted her.

I can't hear what they're saying from here but am pretty sure is not pleasant words cause as soon as his lips started moving Chris almost pounced on him, the girl got in between them.

I hurried to them.

"Wow calm down!" I yelled.

Gabriel scoff, "oh here is your boo! I didn't know he came today."

"Fuck off!" Chris yelled.

"Stop it Gabriel! Am not joking any word from you and you can kiss your face goodbye." I threaten.

"Oh," he fake a shiver. "Here we go! Boo bear!"

"Shut the fuck up! Stephen! I don't need your fucking help! Since when do you take my defense? I don't want you to intervene! And as for you Gabriel! Next time you open your trap to say a word to me! I swear you won't be speaking for months! Loser!" He stomped away.

~~~~~~~~~~

Few minutes on the main road and I can't take this silence!

"Do you want us to pull in a restaurant?"

"No!" He said aggressively.

"Why are you on defensive with me?" Stupid question? Yeah I know.

"Why? You torture me all my life! And you been nice with me is just one of your tricks." He said bluntly.

"Tricks? Is not I swear I just want to be a good brother."

"I've heard that bullshit a lot of times, do you recall the last time you said that? I ended up in the middle of nowhere!"

Yeah I actually recall that moment.

It was on a Saturday and we wanted to have fun with the boys so we took Chris after brain Washing him about our repentance, but then we dropped him far from home and he ended up coming back, I don't know how he did that.

"Uh.. That was before." I defended.

"I almost died last month and it was your fault! You choose pleasure over me! Before I thought maybe their was this little hope that we can be brother but when I fell in that ice cold lack everything change!"

"See Chris am trying to fix things with you, I admit I was wrong! We put you through shit! And all but I promise am been sincere."

"Stop feeding me with your lies! Am tired of 'em, you hate me! And I hate you! That is it!"

I pulled in the driveway.

"Chris, please hear me out! I want to know you, I want to love you I want to accept you! I want us to be brothers." I said as I kill the engine.

"Too late, if you had tried this trick last month when my heart had a piece still remaining, I would have falling for it, but that little piece broke and now there is nothing other than emptiness and hatred consuming my soul." He look straight in my eyes, and I saw the emptiness in his ocean blue ones. Then he got out and slam the door.

I slump in my seat with a heavy sigh, "step 2 failed! We really damage him."

"Hey dude! How was it?" Jack plop on my bed.

"Bad Jacky Bad." I mumbled

"Bad?" He quickly sat up.

"Yeah." I sigh and clench my fist, "I feel so bad, if we were just a little bit nice with him all this won't be happening! We totally damage him! He is a total different person from the baby with big blue eyes we knew and tormented."

"I don't understand."

I took a deep breath, "today I told him how much I wanted to fix things but he bluntly told me to get lost!"

"Shit! Chris will never say that, he was dying for our affection before!"

"Before, but maybe he ended up dying and is been replaced by an imp who is a total opposite."

"This is all our fault." Jack buried his face in his palm.

"You guys are so dumb!" Zack said from the door way.

I rolled my eyes.

"Can't you see he is manipulating you guys! He is just seeking for attention! And you are giving him that! Stop with this nonsense and come hang out with me." He sounded pathetic.

"Zack we have already talk about this! We can't continue living like this, in hatred and division! I want it to change!" Jack said.

"We want it to change! We want Chris to love us, not hate us! We want him to be our little brother." I said.

"Oh, I see." Zack said as he back off and walked away. "I've warn you!"

How I wish it was that easy to solve everything and to form 1.
