You are invited to send comments or story ideas to Playbuddy123@yahoo.com It's What Brothers Do - 17 Monday was a light day at school. I finished my last two exams, and then we all had to wait for the graduation list to be posted on Wednesday morning. Tuesday is typically "senior skip day", but it's unofficial, and can get you in trouble with the administration. I figured I already had enough trouble without adding a day of cutting classes, so I showed up with a small group of other kids. There was a rush through the doors Wednesday morning as we all pushed and shoved to be the first to see if our name was posted. "Thank God," I saw my name, and relaxed for the first time in almost a week. All those graduating had a rehearsal after lunch. Then, everyone was dismissed until the ceremony on Saturday. The other grades had their last day on Friday. * * * * Jess and I joked around at rehearsal and it felt good to finally be finished with High School. There were still plenty of things that needed to be worked out, but at least this phase was over. * * * * After I got home with the news that graduation was all set, Momma made plans to drive over to get Nanna. She said she didn't have any doubts about me and school, but she did seem relieved to hear that my name was on the list. Momma made arrangements to go over early in the morning, stay the night, and then bring Nanna back with her Friday afternoon. I cooked a little supper for Trev and me, Momma went out with friends, and then we each went to our rooms. I called Jess and talked a long time. I don't really know what Trev did. When I walked passed his room later that night it was pretty quiet. I assumed he was reading. * * * * The next morning I got up early, Momma had already left the house. I knew it was my job to see that Trev was on his way to school. I looked at the clock as I finished breakfast, Trev wasn't down yet, I headed back up stairs and knocked on Trevor's door. "Trev your gonna be late for school, get a move on!" I hollered. I didn't get a response. I tried the door and it was locked. I pounded again, nothing. "Still sleeping" I sighed, "Way to go, Bro" I thought as I went back downstairs to the kitchen. I opened the "shit" drawer, at least that's what I call it. It's a drawer by the stove that's filled with odds and ends, tools, and all kinds of household stuff. I found the bent wire that Momma and I have used any number of times to open Trevor's door. Back upstairs, I pushed the wire through the tiny hole in the knob and the door unlocked. "Okay, time to get your ass up." Trev was curled in a little ball facing away from the door. I walked up to his bed and gave him a shake. He barely moved. "Trevor!" I said firmly and rolled him over. His eyes were closed. Something didn't look right. He was covered in sweat and his face was a little red. He moaned and was hugging his belly. "Trev?" I asked more gently this time. I felt his forehead and he was hot. "Oh Shit." I hurried to the bathroom and soaked a washcloth in cool water. I headed back to Trevor's room. When I got there, I gently wiped his forehead, face, and the back of his neck. He opened his eyes slowly. "Derek," he moaned. "I'm here, squirt," I said softly, wiping his head again. "Not feeling too good today, huh?" Trev nodded weakly. "It'll be okay, I'll call Momma." Trev turned his head in my direction. "You gonna be okay until I get back?" He blinked, and I took that as a "yes." I called Momma; she had just arrived at Nanna's house. She said she would try to hurry Nanna up a bit, but that it would still be late afternoon before they could get back. I told her she didn't have to worry; I'd take care of things until she arrived. I went back to Trev and he whimpered, "My stomach hurts." I continued to wipe his head with the cool cloth and did my best to comfort him. "Der..." Trev moaned and then quickly leaned over the end of the bed. He gagged, coughed, and then dry heaved. I got off the bed and started to run for a pan or something when he heaved again and this time puked all over the floor. "Oh man," I mumbled and ran to the linen closet and grabbed a stack of towels. I made it back just in time to hold one under Trev's mouth as he heaved again. When he stopped urping I carefully wrapped the dirty one up and put a clean one out for him to grab. I flew down the stairs and got a soup kettle from the kitchen. I traded the towel in Trevor's hand for the bucket. "Thanks," Trev moaned and lay back down. The next half hour was pretty wild with me cleaning up the mess on the floor, trying to keep Trev cleaned up a bit, and figuring out what to do next. I decided to try some of the pink stuff in the medicine cabinet, thinking it might settle his stomach. I gave him a couple of teaspoons and hoped it would work. About the time he was puked out, he needed to run to the bathroom and I figured that he was busy at both ends now. After maybe twenty minutes in the bathroom, he came back to bed. "You look like shit," I said, gently wiping his forehead again and pushing the hair away from his eyes. The room smelled awful, so I opened a window and got some air freshener. "Let's get you into something clean." I got some clean boxers and a T from his dresser and helped my brother strip off the dirty stuff. I wet a wash cloth with a little soap and water. I gave Trev a kind of bed bath I guess. He giggled when I washed his dick and balls. I rolled him over and washed his ass as well. Finally, I helped him get into the clean shorts and shirt. Just that little bit seemed to exhaust him. He closed his eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep. I finished cleaning things, put the dirty stuff in the washer and started the laundry. "Momma doesn't need to come home to this," I thought as I poured powdered soap on the mound of towels. I pulled the pillows and a blanket off my bed and made a little camp site at the end of Trevor's bed. I got a book and my cell phone and settled in. Two hours later, Trev moaned and I popped up. "How ya doing?" I asked softly as I lightly brushed at the mat of hair on Trev's head. "A Little better." "Still feel like your gonna be sick?" "I don't think so." "Momma will be back in a few hours; just us guys until then," I smiled. I called the middle school and explained that Trevor was ill and wasn't going to be there. I also called Jess and told her our plans for a trip to the mall would have to wait. She said she understood and said maybe she'd call someone else. Trev said he was a little hungry, so I made some toast and brewed a cup of tea. I'm not sure why Momma always did that, maybe its some home remedy. I figured since it always worked for me it would probably be alright for Trev. Trev put a lot of sugar in the tea, but other than that, both the tea and toast seemed to go down and stay down. The phone rang in Momma's room. Justin was worried when Trevor wasn't in school and he borrowed another kid's cell phone and called. I explained that Trev was sick, but it didn't look like anything serious. Justin sounded worried but was glad to hear it wasn't anything bad. "Get your ass back in class," I laughed. "What did you say about my ass?" Justin laughed back. "In your dreams, little man, in your dreams." Justin giggled and said he'd call Trev the next day. When I got back to Trev's room I found he had fallen asleep again. This time I spread out on the floor and took a little nap as well. That was the way Momma found us when she got home. "How's my baby?" Momma whispered as she stroked Trev's chest gently. "Momma." "Right here, child." They hugged, and Momma seemed to give Trev the once over, checking things out for herself. She even pushed on his belly a bit to see if it was sore. "White as a sheet," Momma observed and laid Trev back down. I told Momma what had gone on, and she nodded. "Probably just a 24 hour bug." She decided, and that seemed to be all that needed to be said. * * * * Momma took over being the nurse, and by the next day Trevor was getting back to normal. "How ya doing today, squirt?" "A lot better, thanks for taking care of me yesterday." "That's my job," I grinned. "You gonna give me the bug if I hug you?" "Naw," Trev giggled and I leaned down and gave him a squeeze. Trevor held me tight. "I love you," he whispered in my ear. "I love you too." * * * * Saturday morning was chaos. I was trying to get ready for the graduation ceremony, Momma was in the kitchen with Nanna getting the food laid out for the open house after, and Trev was hogging the bathroom. "Get your ass out of the shower!" I yelled with a couple of firm pounds on the door. "Okay, Okay," I heard over the sound of the water. I'm not sure how we managed, but by 12:30 everything was done and we were ready. * * * * The ceremony at the school gym went well; I was very proud to hear my name called and get my diploma. Momma and Nanna cried, Trevor cheered, and I could see Jess smile as some of the football guys hooted and hollered. After the deal at school Momma let me have my friends over for lunch. I got a few cards from them. Nanna gave me a card and some money and Momma bought me a really cool gold pen and pencil set. "A little something for college," Momma said as she gave it to me and kissed me lightly on the cheek. "Thanks, Momma," I said, and gave her a hug. "I just wish Daddy was here" I whispered in her ear, my eyes growing wet. "So do I," She said, "So do I." * * * * Late that night I stared at the diploma on my desk, the tassel from my cap, and the gift from Momma. It had been a wild day. In some ways I was glad it was over, in other ways I knew I'd miss High School and all the friends that I had made there. My bedroom door opened and Trev walked in. He came over to the bed and without asking or anything just pulled the blanket aside and crawled inside. Trev cuddled up to me. "Happy graduation," he grinned. "Thanks squirt." "We're still going to the ball game, right?" "Yeah, I promised." "Good," he said, pleased to hear me say it again. "Does this mean we're friends again?" I teased, enjoying the feel of him next to me once more. "Still thinking about that," Trev smiled. I held Trev close and was tempted to kiss him. I didn't. "You let me know," I chuckled. Trev wrapped his arms around me. "Uh huh," he yawned and fell asleep. I hope you like this chapter. Please write and let me know how you think the story is coming along.
