-----------------------------------
Gavin's POV

We're sitting on the beanbags and sofas playing Xbox when barb comes over. "Hey Gav you have a visitor." I smile when I see Dan "Hey B!" I yell from my place next to Michael. "Hey," he says smiling and then he moves to the side and I see a young boy behind him. I recognise him immediately and slowly stand up "oh my god" I whisper, tears falling from my eyes as I walk over to him. I drop to my knees in front of him and put my hands on his shoulders, "Johnny? oh my god I thought I'd never see you again!" I say in disbelief. Johnny is my little brother. He was born a week before my mum died. She got ill during labour and died a week later. When my mum died he was put into foster care because my dad didn't want to be burdened with two children. His foster parents said I could see him but my dad never let me. I managed to sneak out a few times but I haven't seen him since he was 5, my dad found out I'd seen him and would hurt me whenever I tried to sneak out. I pull Johnny into a hug as tears fall down my face. "I missed you Gavvy" he whispers and I squeeze him tighter "I missed you too, I'm so sorry I left you kiddo, I love you so much."

"I love you too" he whispers.

"I figured you would want to see him again, so I flew him out." I hear Dan say and I stand up, grab Dan in a hug and kiss his cheek, "oh my god thank you so much Dan! I thought I'd never see him again!" I remember everyone is still here so I turn around, "Guys this is my little brother." I say before leading Johnny over to the beanbag I was sat on with Michael and sitting down, pulling him onto my lap.
"How come you never mentioned you had a brother?" Geoff asks and I squeeze Johnny tighter, "He was born a week before mum died, she got sick when she was in labour. Dad didn't want the burden of 2 kids, so Johnny went into foster care. Dad wouldn't let me see him, but I would sneak out and visit him. Dad found out and would beat me. I haven't seen him in 4 years." I feel Michael rub my back and I notice there are tears running down my face. Johnny looks at me and wipes my tears away.

"Anyway, guys this is Johnny, Johnny these are my friends Geoff, Ryan, Jack, Ray, and my boyfriend Micoo." I say to break the weird sadness in the air. Everyone says hi and we all play video games again. Johnny is still on my lap and I give him my controller, so he's playing the rest of the guys while I lean my head on his shoulder, watching them play. After a few minutes I leave the guys and take Johnny to a different part of the rec room where there is bookshelves and stuff. We sit down and talk, about anything and everything. He tells me he has been watching my YouTube videos and his friends think it's so cool that I'm his big brother, I tell him he's the reason I kept doing them and keep repeating how sorry I am for leaving him. He says it's okay and I hug him tightly. He says he likes my friends and that Michael seems nice and I smile. I go over to the corner and grab two of the guitars there are. I sit next to Johnny again and hand the smaller guitar to him. "You remember when I taught you that song?" I ask him and he nods "I remember bits of it." I smile "that's enough, I'll start and you can join in with the bits you remember." This was a regular thing we did when I would visit him. I taught him how to play simple notes and I would play a song whilst he joined in with a simple backing tune. I begin to play and start to sing along,

"My ship went down in a sea of sound

When I woke up alone, I had everything

A handful of moments, I wished I could change

And a tongue like a nightmare that cut like a blade

In a city of fools, I was careful and cool

But they tore me apart like a hurricane

A handful of moments, I wished I could change

But I was carried away" Johnny starts playing along and I smile as I sing.

"Give me therapy, I'm a walking travesty

But I'm smiling at everything

Therapy, you were never a friend to me

And you can keep all your misery" I notice people around the room have started watching so I focus my attention on the guitar in my hands.

"My lungs gave out as I faced the crowd

I think that keeping this up could be dangerous

I'm flesh and bone, I'm a rolling stone

And the experts say I'm delirious

Give me therapy, I'm a walking travesty

But I'm smiling at everything

Therapy, you were never a friend to me

You can take back your misery" I look up and notice Michael is watching me and he has the most amazed look on his face.

Michaels POV

Around 30 minutes after Gavin and his brother walk away we hear the sound of a guitar and singing fill the room. Dan smiles "I knew it wouldn't be too long." We look at him confused and he explains "Gav taught Johnny how to play guitar when he was younger and they would play together. I knew they both missed it." Wow I didn't know Gav could play guitar. We walk round the corner and see a bunch of people watching Gav and Johnny, who are sat on a sofa, Gavin playing and singing and, wow he has an incredible voice holy shit, and Johnny joining in occasionally. Gavin's gaze is directed at his guitar but I know that's only because there are people watching. He doesn't need to look at it, because his eyes aren't focused.

"Give me therapy, I'm a walking travesty

But I'm smiling at everything

Therapy, you were never a friend to me

You can take back your misery" Gavin looks up and looks directly at me and I smile at him.

"Arrogant boy

Love yourself so no one has to

They're better off without you

(they're better off without you)" Gavin sings the echoing parts

"Arrogant boy

'Cause a scene like you're supposed to

They'll fall asleep without you

You're lucky if your memory remains

Give me therapy, I'm a walking travesty

But I'm smiling at everything

Therapy, you were never a friend to me

You can take back your misery

Therapy, I'm a walking travesty

But I'm smiling at everything

Therapy, you were never a friend to me

And you can choke on your misery" they finish the song and we clap. I see the tears in Gavin's eyes and I walk over to him "you alright boi?" I ask putting my arm round his shoulders. He looks from the guitar to his brother to Dan and the guys then his gaze lands on me and he smiles "yeah, I'm going to be okay" he says running a finger over the ring I gave him.

That night as were lying in bed Gavin turns to me "I think I can do it boi. I think I can beat this. I think I can win." He grins and I squeeze him tighter, kiss him gently and smile "I think you can do it too, my boi."
