On the way to school, Jamie couldn't stop thinking about how much his little brother had changed in so short of a time. Unlike his usuall talkaitive self, he was mostly quiet on the way there, speaking only to answer his former little brother's questions.
Timmy could something was bothering Jamie. At first he didn't really care WHAT his older brother did or said...but after a few minutes of watching, his curiousity got the better of him. He finally three blocks from school, looked over at Jaime and stopped, "Bro. What's up? Why are you so down today?"
Jamie sighed, thinking, (Could he really be that dense now?...maybe..) He looked over at Tim and surprized even himself at how emotional his voice was, "Bro..I..." He choked and looks away, forcing himself to calm down. He looked back and cleared his throat alittle embarressedly. "Timmy... That pill's doing more than changing your body. You're acting different, talking different...you don't...you don't even seem to care what I say now..." He sighes and sits down on the stoop of a porch to one of the many apartments in the area. "I miss my little brother. The one...who cared what I said. the one who...The one who...NEEDED me..."
Timmy blinked. He'd never seen his brother so this way. He was both embarressed and intrigued. (He acts like he needed me as much I need..USED to need..him. maybe he's right...maybe this is...going too far...but it FEELS so RIGHT...) Timmy sat down next to his brother, not meeting his eyes, "I don't know what to say, Jamie. It's not like I'm going to start hating you cause I'm bigger now."
Jamie sighes, "Bro you don't understand. The pressure of being this old. You were the only one I could talk to...and didn't care wheither I was brilliant or dumb or if I made a big goof in school. You were my little brother. I looked out after you...now... you're wanting to do things YOUR way....Guess...I wasn't ready to let you grow up so soon...To..not be needed anymore..."
Timmy says, "Well. Then I suppose you'll need me now..." He suddenly grinned, "Cause I'm going to be the older brother now." Jamie glares, "Is that all you can think about? How you're better than me now?" Jamie stood up roughly and stormed off toward the school.
Timmy just grinned and said quietly, "I think you'll understand far too soon, LITTLE brother...."
Jamie never even noticed in his anger, his clothes didn't fit just right any more...
