EMMA-BROOK O'CONNOR

"Hey Em, can you take Jack for me real quick" Mia said as I held my nephew. "Of course" I smiled. "Hi Jack" I smiled as he giggled. "Just like your father said, I'm sure you'll learn to like it here" I said.

We looked at the sun going down. "I'm here for you Jack, I always will be. Your father looked after me, ever since day one. Through pre-school, high-school. He's done many things for me and I'm glad he's by your side. He's going to help you get through it too just like he did with me" I said as he giggled again. 

"You sure love to giggle huh?" I laughed as I tickled him. "Thanks Em" Mia said as I handed Jack back to her. "No problem, Mia" I smiled. I sat down on some bricks looking at the sun going down again. I heard footsteps, it was Brian. 

"Hey Bri" I spoke. "Beautiful isn't it" He spoke. "Definitely"

"You still feeling guilty?" He asked me. "Not quite, but it's still there. I can't believe I was so dumb to notice the drug in the drink" I said as he looked at me. "Tell me about the whole thing Em, I wasn't there for you the whole time. I should've been there when you got into the car accident" He was worried. 

"Bri, which car accident?" I laughed. "The one in New York" He said. 

"Oh yeah. I was driving home from work when I got a call. I forgot who it was. He just rambled on about stuff until a car swerved into me. I turned to the left and into a tree. I must've blacked out because I couldn't remember the rest but all I know is that I woke up in a hospital and this guy was there. He told me that he had a job for me and that if I wanted Letty back, I'd have to take the job. You gotta promise me, you'll never tell anyone this. Mr. Nobody. That's who he was. He was this old guy wearing a suit. He kind of forced me to take the job. He said that he'll get me Letty and I'll get him Shaw by going undercover. You know how that went. I went because I was desperate to see her" I said as he told me to carry on. 

"I met Shaw at this random bus stop and he picked me up from there. Nobody said that Shaw wanted me on his team so that was a good way to go undercover. He drove me there and I met Letty. The next day, Klaus gave me a gun without giving me any details about what was happening. He got angry that I was asking questions so he hit me with his gun a few times. I told him that if he hit me one more time, I'd probably get concussed. He then drugged me twice with the syringe. Owen came and gave me the water" I spoke as Brian continued. "The one with the drug" He sighed.

"Yeah, so then I blacked out again and woke up with no memories of us. Everything was wiped out and that was until Letty and I went to the street race. Where I met you. Letty told me that going to the street race might be good for me and it was very good. I don't know why it didn't work for Letty. She loved street races. You know the rest of the story" I finished speaking as he was speechless.

"I'm never letting you out of my sight again" He said as I laughed. "Typical Brian" 

"I'm just glad I'm back home, you know?" I said. "Yeah that's for damn sure" Brian said as he smiled at me. "I was angry, angry that you were siding with the other team but I knew you better than that. I knew that you wouldn't just give up on your family, not like that. But that's the past, you know? We gotta leave the past in the past" He said as I smiled at him.

"I'm here for you"

"And I'm glad you are"
