My palms were sweaty, breath heavy, heart pounding, legs wobbly; I hated this feeling. For the first time, I was feeling determined yet so lost. I sighed before knocking on the door.

No answer

I knocked again

Still no answer

My two broken arms still hurt to even use, so I was already surrendering. I was about to turn around and go back to my car, but the door suddenly burst open. I froze as I stared at the specimen. Sophia stood before me, hands on stomach looking curious. "Jason?" She said already stepping down the steps. I quickly got to her first before she hurt herself; she looked miserable. She lost a ton of weight. I did not even recognize her. It wasn't anorexic skinny, but she looked like she lost about fifty pounds. That was not healthy. Especially since she was pregnant. "God Sophia....what happened to you?"

She looked like she was about to burst into tears. She clutched my arm and invited me in. We never really had a conversation. Never. I never cared for one because I judged her early on. Thought she was just a bully, a heartless bully. But here she was, looking very sickly. She poured me some juice. I sat on the couch and watched her.

Her house looked very comfy. Very big, but yet..it felt so small. She gave me the glass before making herself comfortable next to me. "So what's the update?"

A hard lump got stuck in my throat. "Let's not get into that, I just wanted to see how you were doing?" I said shocked that I was even concerned. "I noticed you lost weight"

She scrunched up her lips before staring at her flat belly. "Yeah...ever since I heard about the fire..and the rumors about what happened...I just...I just got stressed"

I nodded understanding

"I see that you have a lot of injuries" she said pointing at my broken arms. I suffered more though. All my finger were broken, I hurt my leg that left me limping for a few weeks, and I suffered some burns from being in that house. They weren't that bad. "It's nothing. Anyways, how have you been?"

She sighed "I honestly didn't think you would come see me. I thought maybe Jin would...but..he just disappeared"

I soon got uncomfortable. I didn't even drink the juice. I set it aside and crossed my legs. "What did you hear?"

"A lot of rumors, some say Matt did it, some say Quinn did it since she had a history of...you know...depression and self harm. And some even think Jin did it which is absurd! Jin would never do that!" She said revealing her anger. "I just can't believe it even happened. I mean I know there love triangle was bad, but I didn't know it was THAT bad" she sighed and whispered "is there anyway I can see Jin?"

I titled my head curiously. She looked like she wanted to get something out her chest. "Why? What's up?"

She got up and went straight to the kitchen. She pulled some papers out the drawers and soon showed me her hospital visit history. "Umm What is this?"

She sat down and she soon got shaky. Her arms hugged her shoulders as she whispered "I had a miscarriage. My baby- well our baby...died"

My jaw dropped and I dropped the paper. I don't know how many times I apologized but I lost count. Each "sorry" I threw at her, made her breakdown even more. She started crying and all I could was awkwardly pat her head "it's alright. It's alright"

She scooted closer. So close I couldn't even lean back. "It's not alright. I always wanted to start a family and all this stress just killed our baby. Do you know the type of pain I'm in? And the fact Jin won't even talk to me..it's just..."

She pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket and patted her moist eyes. "This is my fault..."

"...no it's not...don't blame yourself for the loss of the baby..."

I grabbed both her cheeks and wiped her eyes with my thumbs. "You're too beautiful to go through this." She smiled but it quickly went back to a frown. "He needs to know. I owe it to him, do you think you could tell him?"

I brushed her hair back and we just watched each others eyes for a moment. "You deserve better Sophia. I'm telling you that now." She blushed before watching my lips.

Ummm....

She leaned in and I felt her soft lips brush mine. I didn't flinch. I just allowed her to kiss me. My jaw tightened and I waited for her to pull out . "I'm sorry...I just-

"It's okay Sophia, I understand" I said grabbing the back of her head and pushing it toward me. I kissed her back before whispering. "I will be here for you, do you know that?"

She gazed at me and nodded. "Especially during this time...because...Jin is in Jail"

Her eyes widened "What? is this a joke?"

I shook my head before grabbing the cup of juice. Once I was done, I turned back to her shocked facial expression. I soon told her Matt and Quinn died and Jin admitted that he was at fault. She quickly rose up "What?! Why would he say that?! He did nothing wrong? He isn't like that!"

I rose up next to her "calm down. Trust me I understand because I was astonished as well. But...he wanted to save his brothers reputation. So he falsely confessed-

"But how? I mean..did they believe him?"

I slowly sat back down "Yeah..."

"But-but"

"The gun that they found that shot Matt was Jin's gun. And the story made thing worse when they found out about the little love triangle and the threats my brothers gave each other. So...he's in custody, right now"

All the color from Sophia's face were drained. She quickly got up and raced to her closet near the kitchen, grabbed her coat and gestured me to follow her. "Where you going?"

"To the jail to see him! He should not be blamed for what Matt did! That's crazy! I won't allow it. If I knew this happened I would have seen him sooner..."

"Sophia" I said. But she quickly grabbed my arm and led me outside to my car. When she spotted who was inside she stopped and turned to me. "I...I heard that the kids didn't make it...why is Junior in the car?"

I titled my head "no..the kids made it. What's wrong?" I said opening the door so Junior could say hi. "Matt and Jin saved them before they could be eaten up by the fire. She froze and kept her eyes focused on Junior. The little boy gave her the meanest mug look.

"He's awake!" I said hopping with joy. Matt finally woke up. I was at the hospital almost everyday; just watching him breathe. He suffered a lot of broken bones and a short coma; if Jackson wasn't there to sacrifice his body to try and catch them, he wouldn't have made it. Both of Matt's legs were broken, his arms were broken, he broke his neck and almost shattered his skull. He looked like a toy mummy all covered up in a body suit. No one thought he would wake up, I refused to get him off of life support and I'm glad I made that choice! Because he was now awake.

I don't know how, but he was awake.

He was shaking in his bed, jittering around; attempting to move his body and head but I kept him still. "Don't move! You will hurt yourself" he stopped moving to whisper "where am I? Why can't I feel my body?"

At that moment, Jin came inside. He was in disbelief as he walked towards his little brother. Jin suffered so much. If it wasn't for Matt using his body to protect him from that high fall, I don't even think he would have made it either. But he was left with a strong concussion that left him with minor headaches. The stab wounds Matt inflicted on him were not fatal. So he was able to overcome it, just like he overcame the potential death at war.

He came with the kids everyday to see both Quinn and Matt.

Quinn hasn't woken up yet. Doctors found a bad gash on the back of her head. It looked like someone pistol whipped her on the back of the head. So now since Matt was awake...he can start talking, because god knows what Jin and I went through with detectives questioning us like we were suspects.

"You're awake? You're finally awake?" Jin said wiping the hair off of Matt's face. Our little brother soon got sweaty. "Tell me what's going on before I lose my mind" he said trying to raise his head. Jin placed it down before scooting up a chair next to him. "I should be asking you that. Do you remember anything that happened with you and Quinn?"

Matt's body stiffened and he gave us a strong look "what? Quinn? You mean the girl that committed suicide years ago?"

Jin and I both stared at each other. "What?"

"Please give me some water." He said already poking out his lips for us to fulfill that want. But we didn't move. "Matt...Are you kidding or-

"Stop asking me questions! Just tell me what the hell is going on!"

I tried to calm him down but his yells were now loud and I didn't want doctors and detectives coming in right now. The detectives visited the hospital regularly and I didn't want them questioning Matt before we had a chance. "So...you don't remember?"

"Remember what?"

Goddamn it! I wish he was able to see. I wanted him to see how confused we were looking. I prayed to god he didn't lose his memory. I mean the gash on his head was really bad, but I didn't think it was bad enough for him to lose his memory. "Okay Matt, let me break it down for you...what was the last thing you remember?"

His shakiness stopped and his respiration went back to normal. "I-well, all I remember is...going to bed..sleeping...and now..I'm at a hospital; can't feel shit but pain. And now you two are questioning me about a dead girl. So tell me what the hell is going on"

Jin touched his face and whispered "ok I'm guessing you lost your memory-

"What?"

"Do you want me to refresh it?" I started but Jin stopped me. "No please! Tell me! You two are scaring me, just tell me!"

"Well do you remember Jin going to war? Do you remember the boot camp? Do you-

"War? No! There's a war?" He said trying to move but Jin kept him still "I remember a boot camp yes but-

"Do you remember going to the boot camp?"

He shook his head "no....I know we were supposed to go to train the future soldiers but that's about it."

"So you don't remember stealing Jin's girlfriend? You don't remember marrying her or choking the soul out of her? You don't remember burning down the house in revenge because she asked for a divorce? You don't remember stabbing your own brother?"

Jin slapped my shoulder and gave me a horrible look "we don't know if he did that.."

Matt's jaw dropped and he soon got pale. "What?! please tell me you're just joking. Please tell me you guys are just fucking joking"

Yeah we are screwed. All Matt remembered was the day before he even met Quinn and Dream. I tried a lot of ways to get him to talk because he was a good liar. But the more and more I asked him questions I soon came to the realization that he did in fact lose his memory. And that's not because he started crying because of that interrogation I started giving him.

Jin silently took me outside the hall and expresses his feelings "we don't for sure if he's guilty. So why are you questioning him like that? Just chill out"

He's so gullible. I wasn't sure if Matt was guilty or not. But if he did what he did, then he should be punished. He's my brother, I loved him...but if he tried to burn down the house....then he needs help. He almost killed Quinn and the kids. Shit, he almost killed Jin.

The last memory I had of him was when he was dangling Dream off the roof. I screamed at him to just throw her over. I didn't know what his intentions were. And it sucked because all of our questions were unanswered since his memory was gone.

But we had Quinn. Once she wakes up. She can tell us. I just hoped she didn't lose her memory as well.

"Let's not Jump to conclusions. Matt might be crazy, but not THAT crazy. If he wanted me dead, he wouldn't have saved me."

I didn't want to point my fingers at Matt. But all the evidence was pointed to him. It sucked that Junior and Dream were asleep when everything went down.

Before we had a chance to open the door back to our panicking brother, the two detectives were walking towards us; one female and one male. Detective Davis and detective Williams.

Detective Williams can get it any day. She was very tall, and slim. I didn't know what race she was because of how exotic she looked. Light skin, slanted eyes, full thick curly hair and a big ass. I didn't mind her interrogating me for another twelve hours to get me to rat my own brother out. It was hell, but it was worth it.

Detective Davis was a short chubby white guy. He was bald and sweated a lot. I couldn't stand the smell inside the interrogation room. It would have anyone go mad. "Is he awake?" Ms Williams asked already opening the door before we had a chance to answer.

Oh Jesus Christ. We are doomed.

Once they spotted an awake Matt, she went in to shake his hand. "He's blind..He's is BLIND. he can't see you, have you forgotten?" I asked

"Right, my apologies" she said giggling nervously. She got herself together and introduced herself to Matt. She and her partner then asked how Matt was doing. "Well, my brother is telling me I basically tried to kill someone..."

"Jesus Matt!" Jin yelled out slapping his forehead. "What?! It's not everyday you get accused of murder! So did I do it? Did I kill anyone?"

Ms Williams stared at her partner before saying "you don't remember?"

A doctor walked in but the detectives wanted him out. The doctor tried to tell us that Matt should not be questioned right now, at this state, but my little brother said "no it's okay. Please tell me more. I'm just as lost as you"

"Oh my god Matt! Shut up will you!" I said; is he crazy? These detectives want to put him away and he's just putting himself at risk.

The doctor soon left and the detectives made themselves comfortable on a chair. Jin and I just watched nervously hoping Matt wouldn't say anything else stupid. "Trust me, we are confused as well..so you're telling us that you don't remember anything? You don't have to answer, we can have a lawyer present and-

"No, tell me. I don't want a lawyer..I just want you to tell me-

I desperately shut his mouth and said "look he's clearly not in his right mind. I-

Matt took my hand off and literally begged for the whole story. The detectives did not bite their tongues. They basically talked about the fire and the attempted murder of HIS kids and HIS wife.

They didn't know that Jin was really the father of Quinns kids. And I felt like if they knew about that little love triangle; they would soon suspect Jin. These detectives wanted someone guilty so bad.

All Matt said was "I have a wife? I have kids?"

"Yes, and there's a lot of evidence pointing at you for trying to kill them, so you remember?"

Matt shrunk back and Jin and I prayed he wouldn't say anything stupid. Please god, if you're listening, don't let this fool rat himself out

Matt shrugged and staggered with his words. "Well...I-I don't know if I'm capable of that...I'm blind and-

"Your daughter said you laid hands on your wife before.."

He gasped "I did? I don't know. Maybe..I mean, maybe I did try and kill them..."

"Matt...please shut up" Jin begged; I honestly think he didn't want to know the truth. He was in serious in denial. Matt shook his head "no...I-maybe I did. I mean...I did it before"

"MATT!" Jin screeched "STOP TALKING!"

But the detectives continued asking questions "what do you mean?"

All he said was "mom" and Jin and I both knew what he was talking about.

We just couldn't believe it.

"Mom? What do you mean?" Mr Davis asked pulling out some paper to write.

"Alright alright! Look" Jin said bolting up. The detectives paid no attention to him but that didn't stop him from talking. "I'm not going to let my brother take the blame from what I did"

Flabbergasted I almost slipped out my seat. What was he doing?

The detectives soon turned to Jin and allowed him to talk. That's when Jin talked about the love triangle. Ms Williams crossed her arms "that must've been crucial for you to come back from war and find out your brother married your love and took your kids..."

"What?!" Matt spoke out. "He's lying...he must be lying"

"No...no I'm not" Jin turned red in the face and refused to give me eye contact. Instead he stared at his brother "I hated you. I hated you for the life of me. I wanted you dead..."

Matt whispered "but I-

"You beat my kids...beat the love of my life, and I just snapped."

The detectives looked skeptical but it was not until Jin said "the melted gun you guys found in the house was mine. My anger boiled over me when she chose him over me. And I just snapped..."

"That's a huge confession" Mr Davis said "we are going to have to search your place for the-

"It's there. The gun case is there, you can even check the monitors from when I purchased that gun a long time ago. I wanted to kill myself with it...I have a history of depression, look it up" he continued. Matt had the most horrid expression on him. "So you tried to kill me?"

"You took Quinn and my kids from me. You're selfish. A no good worthless piece of scum"

Matt looked really hurt by this. "He tried to fight back, he stabbed me to defend himself but I was stronger then him. He saved the kids...but...

Ms Williams pulled out her handcuffs. I thought she was surely going to arrest me. I told her Jin had nothing to do with it since he was with me the WHOLE TIME during the interrogation weeks ago. so now since he's falsely confessing, that makes me a liar. But she cuffed Jin and whispered "you should be ashamed of yourself"

"Don't take him. He's falsely confessing" Matt uttered out. Even though he was hurt, I slapped him so hard. "Will you shut up!"

"What your brother spoke out was a huge thing. We are going to have him in custody and piece things together"

If they questioned Dream again, she would surely break down and tell them about the love triangle.

As for Junior. He kept his mouth shut. He talked to no one. Including me.

I followed them out. We passed Quinns room. Jackson, Cindy, and the kids were there. Junior and Dream saw us first and ran to us. She raced to her father and clutched onto his leg "no! He didn't do it! He's innocent!"

Ms Williams bent down and said "Sweetie I know that-

Dream slapped the living crap out of her

She literally started fighting the detectives when they tried to pull her off. Like fighting; punching, biting, scratching and kicking both of them. Cindy and Jackson rushed out to stop the on going struggle. But Junior stayed by my side. He started tugging on my leg. I looked down and covered his eyes "your father is fine...don't look"

He took his hands away from me before whispering "die you fat bitch"

"What?"

He repeated it.

I quickly picked him up and took him inside Quinns room. She looked like a broken doll just by staring at her pale face. I sat him on the bed and said "whose a fat bitch?"

Was he insulting me? Right now? Really?

"Sophia said it"

"What?"

He made his hand into a little gun before lightly tapping my head with it. "She hit mommy like this" he then stood on the bed and started talking like there was no tomorrow.

"thenshetriedtoshootherheadandMattcameandgotinfrontofherandthen-

"Slow down. You're talking too fast"
