Chapter 4- Brotherly Love

Dennis finally realizes what he's been missing out his entire life... A loving brother

“MORGAN!” All my thoughts paced but the only one that will stay in place is to apologize. Damn he can run fast! After a while of chasing Morgan he finally stopped, turned around, and crossed his arms “What?!” I was like a car braking after going 90 mph, I have no idea what to say to him “I’m sorry!” He looked like he was forced to forgive me “Prove it”  “What?” “Words are words, if you really mean it you’ll show it” How do I do that?! “H-” “You’ll go back to the group and you’ll cancel the plan… And next time if you have an idea make sure I agree to it before anyone else” “… Ok” I ran back to the tree house, one thing I learned from this whole ordeal was running up hill is a real painer, I saw Charlie sitting underneath the tree house, throwing little rocks. I sat next to him “Hey Char- Char” “Hey…” I looked at him and sighed “Im sorry” He finally stopped throwing those pebbles and for once looked me in the eye “Why?” “Im apologizing because I know Morgan never will” He gave a quick side smile but that quickly faded “Wanna know what he told me?” I looked back at him “Yes” “He told me that if I care for you that much then I might as well be your new brother, because he’ll never care for you as much as I will ever care for you” With that simple statement… My heart dropped what felt like lower than my toes… Like my whole world burned and faded… All I ever wanted was to have my only brothers love and acceptance… And in this moment I nearly hated Charlie for ever telling me that, but he quickly fixed it “And I accept that challenge, I accept to be like your older brother, to care for you, and have fun with you, but most of all… To love you” I tried my best to hold in my tears but I couldn’t, through my blurry vision I saw Charlie get up and felt him pull me up, and hug me, and in that moment I realized what it was really like to be loved and cared for, even if it wasn't from ‘true blood’ because forget my family if they wanna miss out on having a true loving family so be it, because I don't need them… What I need is someone that emulates a real family, and I have that… It’s Charlie
