Step Brother
Trouble Communicating
The next morning i got up and showered and got dressed. After i had gotten dressed i went downstairs and my mom and Steven were hanging out in the livingroom. A little while later Alex came downstairs, he looked tired and upset. He sat down on the couch next to me and pouted.
"Hey Alex" my mom said
"Hey" Alex said really raspy, his voice was really close to being gone
"What the hell happened?!" i said
"I dont-" Alex started but my mom cut him off
"Dont speak Alex, here we'll communicate using this notebook" she said handing Alex the notebook and a pen
"Okay" he wrote
"So what happened?" my mom asked him
"I dont no, im assuming its from being sick" he wrote down
"Your right. You probably have laryngitis" she said
"I thought it was the flu" i said
"Well it has flu-like symptoms" she said
"Oh" i said
"Mhmm, you should make him a doctors appointment" she said to Steven and he nodded and picked up the phone
Steven called Alexs doctor and after talking for a few minutes he hung up. Alex looked at him hopeful and Steven laughed at the look on his face.
"Alex the doctor cant see you until 3:00, apparently everyones getting sick. So he said that you can talk but if it hurts stop talking completely until he sees you" Steven said
"Try talking" i said
"Renaes stu- owwww" Alex said
"Alright no talking" my mom said and Alex sighed
"Wait so Alex cant use his voice?, so like if i do this he cant yell at me?" i asked elbowing him in the chest, he winced and glared at me
"No he cant and dont do that again!" she said and i nodded
Later that day Jack was over and we were making cupcakes. Alex was just watching, i tryed to get him to help but he refused. While i was heating the oven i felt somthing hit me hard on the back.
"Owwww!" i said turning around, i looked at the floor and there was a spoon. I looked at Alex and he had a innocent look on his face
"Did he throw that at you?" Jack asked
"Mhmm" i said
"Hah" he said
"Alex what do you want?" i asked and he pointed at the counter
"What the cookie jar?" i asked and he shook his head and pointed again
"Another spoon?" Jack said referring to the plastic thing holding dishes
"Oh hes not getting another one of those. I dont even know how he got the first one" i said and Alex pointed again
"Alex what- ohhhh i see, you want the lemonade" i said and he nodded
"Well you were perfectly capable of getting it yourself so why didnt you" i said passing him the carton of lemonade and he just glared at me
"Wheres that notebook he had?" Jack asked
"In the other room i guess" i said watching as Alex poured himself a cup of lemonade and he had the puppy dog look on his face
"Your such a baby, try talking again" i said and he shook his head
"Come on try. Just say 'i love Jack'" Jack said and i laughed
"I love Jack" Alex said wincing, he sounded worse then earlier
"Sounds like your just hitting puberty but worse!" Jack laughed and Alex flipped him off
"Still hurts to talk?" i asked and Alex nodded
"Sucks for you" Jack said
Later that day my mom and Steven took Alex to the doctors and me and Jack stayed home and played xbox. After they were gone for a hour they came home, Alex didnt look happy. He went upstairs and i had Jack pause the game and i went into the kitchen.
"Hey mom" i said
"Hey" she said
"Is Alex okay?" i asked
"Mhmm, hes got laryngitis" she said
"Awww poor Alex" i said
"Hey Alex" my mom said
"Hey" Alex said really raspy, his voice was really close to being gone
"What the hell happened?!" i said
