Hetalia: Brothers...

Ch. 16: The year of 1812

Gilen vanishes as Canada looked around the fragment room preparing to head himself into another memory.

???: Be careful what memory you choose next.

Canada: Eh?

Canada looked behind him to see Flying Chocolate Bunny.

FCB: The next few memories is when America's suffering begins.

Canada looked ahead to see a fragment that says '1812'......

He was afraid of this. But what choice does he have if he wants to save his brother but to relive what America saw through his days as a nation is painful...

Matthew touched the fragment....

The next thing he knew he was another memory seeing a another younger version of himself talking to America.

Canada: How could you do that to England?!! What were you thinking America?!!

America: I did what I have too! England refused to do anything for my people and he was being unfair!

Canada: Unfair? UNFAIR?! YOU BROKE HIS HEART WHEN YOU DECLARE WAR ON HIM?! BECAUSE OF WHAT?! FOR TAXES?!! ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID?!

The present Canada could've swore he saw the look of hurt in America's eyes. He didn't mean to say those words. He was just angry that day...

America: Don't you get it Mattie. He's a tryant! He'll brainwashed you! How could you stand up for him! He took you away from France! He hurt my people!! My people needed the freedom! Just think, Mattie, join me and you'll see France again. Then you also become a state for America.

Matthew chuckle at the memory of that. But he wanted to become his own country not a state for America.

Canada: No.

America: No? Why not?

Canada: I do not want to become your one of your states. And besides, England is a good parent.

America: Yeah right. He just ignores you.

Canada: How dare you!! It's your fault it happend!!

America: But think about it Mattie. Don't you want to be your own nation?!

Canada stayed quiet and glared at America.

Canada: I can't believe you. Your too busy thinking about yourself instead of family you hoser!

America: Well.....I can't believe you can't see the possiblities...

Canada: Because I refuse...

America: Well then....Matthew Williams...I hereby...Declare War on you and Arthur...I'll invade and make you become one with the United States!!

Canada:....Then I guess I have to defend myself....

The memory changed and it showed America looking in horror.

Matthew did not want to see this...

Canada: No...No...Not this...Please no...

America watched as soldiers marched from all directions, holding torches. Wagons and people were running away on the far side of the city, across from Alfred. Then, Alfred started to feel a pain in his chest, for two reasons.

Of course he knew they were not his men. These were Canada's and England's, come to hurt him. Mattie was still mad at him, sure, but Arthur was furious, sparking off of nothing, making this whole war extremely personal. Didn't Arthur know that the Revolution had only been a necessary thing? America felt his heart breaking. It was about the skirmishes and boat stealing which had been going on much longer than the skirmishes, causing him to heartbreak.

America had always imagined England to get over the revolution, to see that Alfred could really do this on his own. He wanted England to be proud of him, to smile at him once more, to finally agree that they should try to pick up the pieces that were now scattered across the sea. But no, he had no help, no change of heart. France and the very same England bullied him all those years, espically with the XYZ affair and the boat stealing and trade halting. It had hurt Alfred very deeply.

The second reason his heart was burning was the fact that his beloved capitol was up in flames.

And America...He screamed....

He let out a soul-shattering scream that could break your heart just to see him like this....He then broke down crying...

America: No...No....No....

Matthew felt the tears falling from his eyes...He took things too far...He broke his brother...He caused him misery...And now...He was witnessing it...Sure this was in the past...But still...He hurted his brother...He looked and saw his past self staring at Alfred in horror while England showed a bitter look...

England: It's for his own good...

Canada:...

England: Let's go...

Both of them left with their men leaving America coughing blood.

Canada: Wait blood?!! What's wrong with him?!

???: He's suffering from a heart burn.

Canada looked behind him to see Shiro.

Shiro: You 1ps really are heartless ya know. What kinda brother leaves his own brother to suffer a heart burn after his capital been burned.

Canada: I...I didn't mean too!

Canada felt tears from his eyes again. This...This was how long his brother was suffering?! He's been suffering for more than 200 years?!! Along with it being his fault!!

He look back at the scene to see Anerica crying and bleeding while pleading England and Canada to come back as the memory faded away...

Shiro: He did not just suffer from a heart burn...He also had scars on that day. Ya know it also pained him to this day to believe everyone including his family hate him...He was almost dead that day if the states didn't found him. And let's just say their hate for England had grown over the years.

Canada:......

Shiro: All he wanted was for England to be proud of him. But that didn't work. He even wanted you to be proud of him. But both of your anger and hatred for Amerca broke him. So the only person I see being selfish is you...

It was true. Very true. Canada was a selfish jerk to his brother over years and was never able to see his brother in pain. But he never really understand how America was able to keep the pain quiet for so long. For now all he can hoped the next memory won't be so unpleasant....

Note: From what I heard, it's kinda strange how in school, we didn't even talk about the facts of how we entered the war of 1812 and how we burned down Canada's capital.....We had the war because the british and french, but we didn't really like the british were seizing our ships in a war they and the french were having which is one of the naploenic wars. So the British were the actual ones to burn our beloved capital, because they were mainly britsh officers and Canada was a british colony at the time during the year of 1812. The british had to retreat though at the end because of severe weather probably due to it being a hurricane. And it's kinda mean how the canadians were able to be a nation by just asking politely while we went into a war to gain it because the british refused.
