TELL THE TRUTH ALWAYS

The night was colder than Ethan expected.

He pulled his sleeves down and shoved his hands into the pockets of the black jacket he'd later decided on. He stepped outside their house while Gina leaned against the porch railing, scrolling through her phone.

For a Saturday night, except for the occasional passing cars, the street felt unusually quiet. It was perfect and for once, Ethan didn't feel the urge to disappear.

The clothes really did seem to change him.

"So," Gina

  • GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY   CHAPTER 165

    CHAPTER 165Ethan shot up so quickly that his chair scraped against the floor. "What happened?"'We have the results,' he said, pausing in front of him.My heart shot. Blake hadn't returned, and I was in front of the doctor by myself. "What did you discover?"The doctor fixed his eyes. "However, there's a complication."Ethan's stomach sank. "What kind?""We think Jake has injured one of the large blood vessels in his chest."Ethan looked at him. It made no sense to him. "The accident?""Most likely.""But he was stable.""He was," the doctor said, nodding. "We think the wound was bleeding all this time, and the scan you had before might not have shown it."Ethan's face turned pale. "Can you stop this?""Possibly."He was unimpressed by the word. "What?"The doctor took a deep breath. "Jake needs surgery.""Now?" Ethan asked, his voice cracking."Immediately.""How dangerous is it?"Ethan hadn't even been able to speak; the doctor hadn't spoken either, and that had told Ethan more tha

  • GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY   CHAPTER 164

    CHAPTER 164The following forty minutes dragged on in a fog. A nurse eventually ushered Ethan and Blake further down the hall so that the doctors could do what they needed to do, then she drew the curtains tight around Jake's room. Ethan could not see his brother any longer, and that was almost more miserable than watching. Ethan sank down in a plastic chair with his elbows resting on his knees, his fingers interlocked so tightly that his knuckles ached. Blake sat next to him. Neither of them made a sound.The hospital had fallen silent once more. The alarms had ceased and the shouting had long since ceased, but Ethan couldn't settle down. Every time footsteps drew near, his head shot up, and every time they passed, his stomach clenched painfully more."Let's call your parents," Blake finally said in a soft voice.Ethan shut his eyes. He had tried not to think about it for hours, because the second you did, it became true. "Yeah.""Do you want me to do it?""No." Ethan drew his phon

  • GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY   CHAPTER 163

    CODINGEthan followed the doctor back to the room where Jake still snoozed in bed. He sat in the chair next to the bed and this time, when the monitor caught his eye, his gaze lazily swept across to where Jake lay. The boy who had spent years instructing him how not to do everything, driving him nuts, frightening the crap out of him and well, humiliating him too.But the boy who'd stood by him in ways Ethan hadn't yet figured out.Who made him afraid to be himself. Hard to imagine losing him now.Ethan touched Jake's hand softly, and Jake's hand twitched. Ethan held his breath; Jake's eyes fluttered."You still here?" Jake croaked out.Ethan blinked quickly. "Yeah. " he chuckled."You're supposed to be home.""So are you.""Technically, no." Jake looked around at the rails of the bed and the hoses.Ethan chuckled, and Jake groaned, rubbing his hand against his side. "Please don't make me laugh.""Sorry."Jake closed his eyes for a moment, then continued to speak with his eyes closed.

  • GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY   CHAPTER 162: THE RED LIGHT

    THE RED LIGHT"Clear!"Jake's whole body jerked and Ethan cringed as if he'd been struck. The beep from the adjacent machine was sharp, horrific, and only lasted a second before it flattened out to a flat, monotone sound that vibrated all around-the room, down the hall, and right through Ethan's skull."No," Ethan whispered, stomach plummeting out from underneath him.Blake's grip tightened around Ethan's arm. "Stay with me, Ethan.""No," Ethan insisted again, trying to barrel through the door, but another nurse was in his path, palms raised."Sir, you got to back up.""That's my brother!" Ethan demanded, arching his neck to look past her."Sir, we're working on him right now.""Please," Ethan pleaded, voice cracking, "let me see him."Inside, the team was working frantically. One doctor was barking orders at the other, who was leaning over Jake, hands locked together pressing to his chest. "Keep going with the compressions," the first doctor ordered. "No pulse. Keep giving him the

  • GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY   CHAPTER 160: BETWEEN THE BEEPS

    BETWEEN THE BEEPS The room was strangely silent, you know? Machines just kept measuring his heart, beeping, pausing, then beeping again, while the fluorescent lights buzzed loudly overhead, almost too bright for it being this late. Ethan could only see the dark through the tiny window next to the bed, with headlights crisscrossing across the parking lot. Jake was asleep, and for once not all broken up from the crash, and instead, he looked pretty peaceful. That didn't make Ethan any more comfortable, though. His eyes kept darting to the monitor, checking the changing numbers, and whenever Jake moved even a little, he pushed himself closer to the bed. Blake was in the chair on the other side of the bed, quietly for a few minutes until he finally spoke up. "You're doing it again," Blake said as his head tipped to the side. "Doing what?"Ethan asked. "Watching the monitor."Ethan looked at the screen again, his jaw tight. "I'm just making sure he's okay." "The monitor's already doi

    THE HOUSE DOWN THE STREET 2The name hit Ethan like a brick and he found himself choking on his own breath. His head snapped up instantly to Tom standing a few feet away. “…Huh?” was all that slipped past his lips as his eyes widened. Tom just shrugged again like it was nothing. "He met me after

    THE HOUSE DOWN THE STREETThe glass door slid shut behind Ethan as he stepped into Tom's lawn. Thin sprinklers scattered lazily across the grass sent arcs of water glistening in the late afternoon sunlight, and the air held a faint smell of wet grass and mud. Somewhere over one of the fences, a dog

The moment Dr. Keller said they should pick their partners, the sound of chairs scraping across the floor echoed across the room as students began turning toward “Calm down," Dr. Keller shouted over the noise, slamming his palm against the desk. “G

    THE TASTE OF REGRETThe house carried the strong smell of beer–one that Ethan knew too well. It mixed with the faint scent of cigarette smoke clinging to the couch cushions and curtains, welcoming him as he opened the door. Coughing, he pushed through the ash cloud as he prayed his brother was alr
