the two 11 and 9 year old brothers fight alot.
to calm his nerves ryan pretends to shoot Jake and accidentally does. He said he shot his self. His friend is saying that if he tells his parents he might go to jail or his parents won't love him anymore. Can Ryan live with this guilt inside of him for the rest of his life or will this guilt find a way out????????????

Are the boys doing something stupid that leads to an accident? OR Does the one boy do something normal not knowing the other boy is there and accidentally kill him that way? How old are these boys supposed to be? Is the body found or hidden for those five years?

My first question is: who is your audience? You have a very basic idea for a story that has potential, but it would be nice if you had included some more information. What kind of novel is it? Psychological? What happens to the confessing boy? Do you have a lesson for the audience? Why did the boy cover this up? Does the boy learn anything from this experience? When does the boy tell his parents? At the beginning, in the middle, or the end? Why should the parents care to know the truth?
You don't have to give me these answers. They are designed to make you think about your characters and what needs to happen for this to become 400 pages or more (if this is a novel).
Answer those questions to yourself and then re-submit your question so that we can help you more.
Hope that helps.

Stay away from cliches that so many other books and movies have recycled and do something different
He could work as a fisherman and have a Mullet as well, the title could be "Adios brother" ...sell it for $19.95. Tagline - "I regret nothing".. you'll make millions.. give me 10%.

How about it turns out that he didn't really kill his brother but that somebody else did by poisoning him. That his brother really died from the poison and not the fatal gun shot wound to his chest.
