At home alone with Taylor Hanson.....not neccasarily a good thing



Laying on the bottom bunk Taylor stared at the mattress above him. It was sometime in the afternoon. He had been laying there for atleast an hour or so. It had been a week since the day he had told his parents about running away. Sitting up, Tay looked around at the room. He couldn't believe that he had destroyed all those memories by ripping apart the collection of things from the concerts they did. Shaking his head he cleared his thoughts and got up. His mother came in the room and told him that she and his father and the kids were going to see 'Anastasia' at the cinema and Isaac and Zac were going to stay home. She kissed him quickly on the cheek, and told him "Bye" and that they would be back in about two hours. She then left the room. Since he had gone to bed fully clothed he didn't need to get dressed, so he went to the closet and pulled out a pair of his black Kickers (that he had gotten in England) and slipped them on. He went down the stairs and into the kitchen, he grabbed the box of 'Lucky Charms' his favourite cereal and the milk. Sitting at the table he ate. After he finished he went into the living room, his brother's were watching t.v. Peeking over their shoulders he tried to figure out what they were watching, but couldn't. Taking a deep breath he made up his mind to watch it with them, and sat down on the floor. His brother's were taking up the couch. He couldn't believe how stupid he was and that he hadn't realized it sooner, they were watching 'Party Of Five'. All the brothers used to watch this show together, they had never missed an episode. Fully engrossed in the show he didn't hear his brother's talking behind him. But when it was over he did. They were talking together, ex-cluding him, as usual. Making it so very painfully obvious that they didn't want him to be there. Suddenly something snapped inside of him, pure rage ran through his veins. Destroying their room hadn't taken out all the anger he held for his brothers. It hadn't even taken a little peice. His rage grew until it was pure and utter hate. His breath was coming out in ragged gasps. It took all his strength to keep himself back from screaming at them. But that wasn't enough strength. He stood up furiously. His brother's didn't even notice. "What's with you??" His voice came out in a high pitched shreak. They looked at him. "It's like one day you're telling me that I'm your best-friend and the next you wished I was dead!!!" His voice was getting louder with every letter. "You know I could be dead!?!? I should be dead!! Then you could live your life so perfectly and happily. Without me there to ruin any of it!! I tried to kill myself! I did, but it didn't work, unfortuantly for you!! And for me.. I'd rather be dead than to have to live with brother's like you!!!" They stared at him, faces filled with shock at hearing what his brother had tried to do. Taylor continued "I never did anything to you!!! Why do you hate me so much?? What happened to our friendship??" Isaac stood up quickly and Taylor grabbed hold of his shirt collar pulling him close, then pushing him away with all his strength. Sending Isaac flying over the couch and hitting hard on the other side. Zac didn't move, he was too frightened. Taylor went over to where Isaac was lying and stood over him and screamed "Why do you have to do this to me?" Then with suprising strength he pulled his older brother up off of the floor and screamed in his face "I can't take this anymore!!!!" His voice was filled with so much hate, it sent chills down Ike's body. Suddenly Tay's fist came up and hit him. Isaac was stunned at what his brother had just did. His hands automatically went up to hold his bruised face. But Taylor wasn't finished. He shoved his brother hard into the wall, making Ike's head swing back and hit it. Again his fist came up, and again he hit his brother. Grabbing hold of his shoulders he slammed Ike again into the wall. Zac was so scared, he had never seen his brother so angry before. He had seen Isaac's head slam into the wall, and he heard the cracking noise it had made. Taylor hadn't let up at all and Zac thought he was going to kill Ike. Isaac had fallen to the ground and Taylor had begun to kick him. Zac knew his brother was badly hurt but he couldn't get himself to move, his body wasn't working right and he couldn't get himself to. He wished his parents hadn't left them here all alone. Zac caught a flash of Tay's wild looking eyes. Glazed over and filled with rage. He knew Tay was going to kill Isaac if he didn't do something. Using all his strength he got up slowly and went over to Taylor. Standing behind him he said in a scared little voice "Taylor stop it!" Taylor's head swung around and the back of his hand connected with Zac's face and he fell to the floor. Quickly Zac scrambled to the other side of the room before Tay would start to kick him too. Taylor then turned around to hurt his older brother even more. Zac was even more frightened now. His parents wouldn't be back for another hour, by then it would be too late, and both he and Isaac would be dead. As quietly as possible he went into the kitchen and picked up the phone. There was only one thing he could think of to do. Dailing in 911 he heard someone ask what the emergency was.

Taylor had done it again. He felt as if he was inside someone elses body. Someone else was doing this, not him. He wasn't really doing this to Isaac. Tay couldn't control his body. Nothing worked right. He couldn't get himself to stop. Taylor had thrown his brother across the couch, and he had slammed him against the wall. But that was as far as HE himself had gone. Now it was just someone else doing the rest. He didn't understand why he couldn't stop. He watched as his Kicker's connected with his older brother's face. Not being able to stop any of it. Now someone was holding him gruffly by the arms. His arms were being held behind his back and he was being dragged away from Isaac. He could now take control of himself again. He saw a couple men run up and pick up his brother, then they took him away. I hope he's okay, I hope I didn't kill him... please don't let me have killed him, please. Don't let him die. The hands behind his back tightened then slowly let go. Taylor turned around to see who it was that had been holding him. It was another guy. Where are all these people from? "I... please..." He stuttered, not really knowing what he was going to say. He wanted to explain that he hadn't really meant to do that to his brother. But he didn't know how. The man was looking at him like he was a murderer or something. The gaze penetrated deep into his soul, as if Tay really was a murderer. "But... I... I didn't..." He couldn't figure out what he was going to say. What was he supposed to say? He didn't know how to explain. Taylor watched the man as he stared hard at him. Cringing a little at his look. It was so harsh and mean. He couldn't stand being there as the man looked at him like that, with that cruel look. So he slowly made his way to the couch and sat down. He felt so horrible. Sick, because of what he had just done. Tay stared across the room at the wall opposite him. The time when he had thought life couldn't get any worse, it had. This had happened. He wanted to see his brother, he wanted to see if he was okay. But he knew better than to go look for him. For his brother's sake he kept sitting down. Gently a small tear fell from his eye, down his cheek. Angrily he wiped it off. Now he really hates me. He'll never ever talk to me now. The whole family's gonna hate me. He wished he could just dissapear from the face of the earth, never to be seen again. Never to cause anyone anymore hurt. Never to feel anymore pain. Not to cause anymore trouble. He heard someone put the key put in the lock. The rest of the family was home. This was when they were going to yell at him and tell him how horrible of a person he was. That he should've stayed away, away from home. He shouldn't've ever come back. Taylor waited for his parents to come in, too sick with himself and his behavior to move. "Baby, what's wrong?" It was his mother, she was talking to someone in the kitchen. He guessed it was Zac she was talking to. He guessed Zac must be pretty shaken up by seeing him do what he had done. But so was Taylor. "Oh God who's blood is this??? What happened?? Taylor? What happened?" It was his father, he was just behind Tay, looking at the carpet where Isaac had layed. A sinking feeling came into Taylor's stomach. "Taylor? What happened?" He asked again as he came and stood in front of his son. Taylor continued to stare past his dad. He didn't speak, he couldn't, his throat had closed up. "Taylor, answer me son, are you okay? What happened here?" "Dad... I... I..." Taylor stuttered, not taking his eyes off the wall. Noone had noticed the man standing in the corner. The same man who had dragged Taylor off of his brother. Now he came up to Walker and pulled him aside to talk to him. Tay knew the man would tell his father what happened.

Zac was in the kitchen frantically trying to tell his mother what his older brother had done. Tears welled up in his eyes and he was talking as fast he could, but not on purpose. He couldn't help but talk that fast, he was shook up and frightened. "Shhh.. Zac it's alright, Calm down, start over, try and talk a little slower this time." Diana told her son. Zac took a few deep breaths and let them out slowly then started over, talking slower this time. His mother's eyes widening with every word Zachary spoke.

The man had finished explaining to Walker as far as he knew what had happened. Taylor's father came over to him. Taylor didn't avert his eyes, didn't move, not as much as a twitch or a blink. Now standing back infront of him Walker looked his son over. Trying to figure out what happened and what would make him do such a thing. After a few minutes Walker said in a stern voice "We'd better go to the hospital, we'll be back later. Don't leave this house. Understand me?" Taylor could only nod. He moved his eyes to watch the man and his father leave the room. He heard his mother's voice then everyone went out of the house and he heard the van pull out of the drive. An hour passed, Taylor sat in the same position. What Isaac was doing to me wasn't as bad as what I did to him. He didn't deserve that. Taylor thought to himself, he knew it was him that had hurt his older brother. But he couldn't stop himself doing it. He had tried. He had wanted to stop, but couldn't. Finally he got up, only because he didn't want to still be sitting there when his parents came home. He walked around the couch. There were little puddles of blood all over the floor. His brother's blood, that he had caused. He turned away quickly and ran up the stairs back to the sanctuary and safety of his room.
