My brother Ethan Williams

As you may know, my brother Ethan, is many years older than me. I didn't see my "big brother" as much as I wanted to when I was little, however he was always standing up for me when I needed it the most. Over protected? I think he was just protective enough. There was once as incident where I was riding my bike around the neighborhood, and as I passed by house number 23, my bike flipped over and I ended up flat on my back. Luckily enough, I had an helmet on, but nothing was going to stop Joseanna, her evil twin brother, Hemie and their little group from beating me up. Many a time before I had been in fist fights with these two and members of their "gang" but never before had I have to face them altogether and alone. There I was on my back, with all the breathe knocked out of me, and a giant stick between the tires. Stunned and weakened, I slowly climbed to my feet and put my fists in the fighting postion, as they closed in around me.
Maybe it was chance, I call it a miracle, whatever it was, it was more than luck. My brother and his two friends came riding by, heading to the park on their bikes. As he saw my mangled bike in the middle of the street, and me no where to be found, he tore throw the nine year-olds and found me with a black eye. He didn't have to help me, since he had two of his friends to be "cool" around and helping his baby sister might have been pathetic, but he did it anyway. As the best big brother ever, he carried me all the way home, while his friends headed to the park.
"You should see the other guys," I kept saying the whole way, but he didn't put me down for the whole day. He brought me up to the kitchen, carried me to the couch and back, and served me any amount of food or goodies I wanted for the next two days. And for my birthday, he got me a new bike.
No matter how he acted around other people and his friends, to me he was the Hollywood big brother. Ethan was always sweet and helpful, and didn't mind me taggling along with him every now and then. I could have been with him more, but I was so thankful for having a big bro like him, that I didn't want to jinx it.
And even now, he is such a help! I was promised by Ethan, that when I graduate college, he will help me buy a car! (Even though I'm 32).
