Once as a younger child, I was in a serious situation in which i needed a great deal of help. I was in the backyard, laying in the grass helplessly, when all of a sudden two awkwardly tall tenagers appeared from out of nowhere. Then suddenly, a barrage of rocks stated flying. Boom! One right next to my head. I frantically tried to evade the intense war zone, but as I was making my escape I felt the warm sensation of pine cone graze my neck. I knew it was fight or flight time even as a younger child. I choose to run obviously. But as I was running around the edge of the house, I could feel the presence of my brother and his friend close behind. Suddly I triped and accendtally revealed my defenseless front to the enemy and that was all it took. Clank!! A rock hit my head with trmendous velocity and as I was falling I could hear the laughing cries of teens turn to a sudden concerned tone of voice. Laying on the ground crying, I could feel the warm blood flow down my face. Iat this point I not only needed help, but medical assistance. I was put in the car and raced to the hospital where I was treated. But what I really learned was that brothers and siblings love to see you in pain no matter what it is. After I was all patched up the first words my brother said were " Don't tell mom" then I got an apology. So overall I was helped in a time of need by a bother who thrived in my pain. Kind of ironic but it worked out!
