I Took The Fall For My Brother Novels & Stories

Ethan staggered and fell against Vivian, leaving a clear mark on his cheek. Vivian looked shocked. Then she instinctively wrapped her arms around Ethan and shouted at me, “Adrian Hayes, your brother took his own life. Why are you taking it out on Ethan?” Ethan covered his swollen face and said pitifully, “Vivi, it’s okay. If hitting me makes bro feel better, I’ll take it.” “Then I’ll give you exactly what you want.” I stepped forward, grabbed Ethan by the collar, and yanked him hard.

I sat up straighter, the joking drained out of me. “Vale—” “If I fall, you fall,” he said firmly. “And when that day comes, you will join me in Virova.” The line clicked dead before I could argue. I stared at my phone, his words echoing in my head. Join him in Virova. Just what kind of hell was my brother planning now?

Something was wrong. “Are you okay?” Matty demanded, while Alpha Aaron looked at me. “This has been going on all these years, and you never said a word?” He all but whispered, as my brother suddenly fell to the floor, collapsing unconscious in a heap, leaving me rushing to him with tears in my eyes…

I lean back in my seat and watch the landscape change the more we drive into the city. “I don’t remember I ever saw you with a turtleneck.” You should see my purple neck. I look at my brother as he speaks and try to answer him as indifferently as possible. “Just wanted to try something new.” How lucky I was to find such a thing in my wardrobe. He humphs in response and concentrates back on the street before him. “How did you say, you fell while working at the store?” “I told you.” I sigh annoyed. “I was trying to juggle the new delivery that came in and I fell over my own feet. You can ask Nina. She was there as it happened.”

He gave me a heavy kick in the stomach. Leaving me alone, he went upstairs. Tears flooded my cheeks. My hard-earned salary was gone. I began to sob as my brother's call came in. My heart raced with fear. I felt like a failure. As his only parent, I had to fulfill all responsibilities. Is this how I would let him drop out because of my mistake? I picked up the call. "Sister, please, I am about to drop out. I need the money quickly, sister," he pleaded, sounding hurt. I sniffed my tears, trying to talk appropriately so he wouldn't know I was crying.

"I may hate you, but I won’t stoop to your level. Go on, laugh in hell with Luna Nora’s legacy." His laughter, manic and grating, only grew louder. But as I turned away, his foot slipped, and with a single misstep, he plummeted over the edge. I rushed forward, gripping the edge of the cliff, heart pounding. Below, his lifeless form lay, blood spreading across the jagged rocks. And just like that, my brother was gone.

Like it was a statement he made on a daily basis. He was saying all the right things that made him sound like the perfect gentleman, and his dad the perfect step father, everything that drunk Dean, my mother's man child was not and could never be. I felt emotions pulling at me and I knew I was falling hard and fast for my best friend's brother. He was supposed to be a one night stand. How did it all go haywire?

"I knew you would say something like that, that's why I haven't told you! You're supposed to be my best friend Kat why can't you just be supportive? " "I'm driving you to his house, dressed up like a fool aren't I? I just don't want to see you get hurt Allie. If you really like him I'll give him a chance but if he hurts you he's going to be sorry." Kat and Allie pulled up to the Whitmore brother's house and went inside.

“Now please, how can I help you? If you can tell me your brother’s name and his ID number, I will run a search on him.” “My brother…. His name is Ryan…. Ryan Jack. He is supposed to be in room 204 but he ain't there and I got a text message from here… the hospital that… that he…” She couldn't breathe. Speaking had become more difficult than she could have ever imagined. She felt the nurse's calm gaze on her. Grateful she wasn't judgemental. Perhaps she understood how she was feeling at that moment. “I'm sorry…I just… I'm just a little scared.”

I said annoyed. "Alright!" He gave up and adjusted his seat. "If you're only not pregnant, I'll push you too." I heard him whisper. He started eating. There are food on the table. His plate was full of it. "We spent the night drinking. We got drunk, I was helping him walk properly but then I heard the specific ringtone I've been waiting to hear. So, I quickly ran to my phone and left my brother and because I was a bit dizzy, I fell. Then I just saw my bro fall too. It's my fault." He said quickly. I rolled my eyes at him after he's done telling that story. I thought something real bad happened.
