9-1-1 | Daniel Buckley Lives
Evan cuddles with the bear his big brother got for him as he hears his parents yelling downstairs. He flinches as a glass shatters. For a while there is silence and then his bedroom door slowly creeks open. In the doorway stood Daniel.
"Hey, bud. Can't sleep?" Daniel sits on the bed next to his little brother.
Evan hugs his brother's side. "Are they done yelling?"
"Did they wake you up?" Evan nods.
Daniel cradles his brother in his arms and makes his way to his own bedroom. He tucks Evan under the covers and then himself. "Night bud." "Night Danny."
Daniel Buckley was beyond frustrated with his parents. They treated him like a baby just because he got sick. He watches as his parents ignore his baby brother in favor of him. Daniel gritted his teeth. In a couple of years, he'll be 18 and he could finally escape this house and find a place far away to live. He just needed to figure out a way to get his little brother out that didn't result in him getting arrested on a kidnapped charge. Surely his parent would give him custody of his little brother if he asks. Right?
