"I wasn't getting jealous!" Luc whined.

Today was another study session even though, we weren't getting anything done.

"Oh yeah, okay." I said rolling my eyes and grabbing his Chemistry notes.

His past chemistry test was terrible and we need to get back on track. "Can we just start studying?" He said as he turned around to face me in his swivel chair.

"What is the Heterogeneous Mixture?" I asked.

"The what?" He asked squinting.

"Heterogeneous Mixture, what does it do?" I repeated.

"I don't know, I just wanna-" he said getting off the chair and began to kiss me. I quickly pulled away, knowing that I was enjoying it, it had to stop. I said, "Your going to fail again. Maybe you should get a new tutor-"

"No! I want you!" He said sitting back down.

"I'm to distracting." I said gathering up his notes. I heard a knock on the door and he got up to open it.

"What." He said with his grouchy voice.

"W-Where is Mom?" Isaac asked, tears rolling down his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, getting off the bed.

"It's K-Kyle." He said wiping his tears. Luc looked at me with big eyes and we both started to run down the hall.

"What happened?" I asked as we started to run down the stairs.

"We were playing outside, then he just fell down. I thought he was dead!" He said sobbing a little more. "I killed my little brother."

"You didn't kill him." I explained as we reached the bottom of the steps. We ran out the big screen door and saw Kyle on the ground.

"Oh no, no God no." Luc said getting down on his knees and picking him up. He pressed on his neck, trying to find a pulse.

"His heart is barely beating, we have to get to the hospital now." He said carrying Kyle. "Go grab the keys and meet me in the garage, now!" I nodded in agreement, Isaac following me back inside.

"I don't want him to die." He told me. I went to the key rack, trying to find a car key. I found a silver one and I quickly grabbed it. I started to run down the stairs and into the garage. I pressed the alarm button and saw the car that the key belonged to. Luc opened the door and he said, "You are going to have drive."

"B-But I-I-" I stuttered, but he grabbed my face and said, "You can do it." I nodded slowly, opening the door and hopping in.

"O-Okay what do I d-do?" I asked.

"Put the key into the ignition. Press that button above your head so you can open the garage door." He said laying Kyle on his lap in the back. Isaac was in the front seat beside me and his sobbing was making the situation even worse.

"Now, put the car into drive and push the gas pedal." He said rubbing my shoulder. I obeyed again and began to drive out of the garage.

"Okay, you can go a little faster now. Trust me, just think of the basics when you were driving with Ethan." He said. "Isaac quit crying."

I stared at the road, going a little faster now. "How do I get to the hospital?"

"Take a right at the next stop light." He said combing Kyle's hair. As we approached the next stop light, I stopped and turned on my turn signal. When the light turned green, I quickly turned right and saw the five story hospital.

"Where do I park?" I asked, a little nervously.

"Just park right there." he replied, pointing to a spot. I put the car in park, turning it off. I took out the keys and we all rushed out of the car.

"It's going to be okay little man. The doctors are going to get you fixed up real good." He said kissing his forehead. Isaac was holding my hand when we walked into the hospital, he was shaking.

"It's going to be alright." I whispered to him. He looked up at me and then looked at the girl on the front desk.

"My name is Lucas and this is my brother Kyle. I need you to get me Dr. Samson. Please." Luc asked the lady.

"He is in surgery right now, what happened?" She asked pointing to Kyle.

"H-He fell!" Isaac yelled.

"Okay, can you tell me some information and I will try and get a nurse for you." The lady said.

"He is five years old and he has cancer. That is all I know, please help me." He asked.

"What is your last name again?" She asked clicking something's on her computer.

"Pierce." He said.

"Kyle Pierce- Ah yes, here is all his information. Give him to that nurse and we will take extra special care of him." She said smiling. I knew he wasn't sure if he would give his little brother to a complete stranger, but she was a nurse and he was desperate.

They took him on the bed and wheeled him out, leaving us alone with our thoughts.

Luc shook his head and sat down in the waiting area.

"This can't be happening." Luc said putting his hands on his face.

"Are you going to call Mommy and Daddy?" Isaac asked.

He didn't answer, so I began to rub his back and whispered "They are going to have to know Luc."

"You don't think I know that?" He whispered back. "All they will worry about is the money, the bills. They wouldn't care what condition he is in."

I nodded, letting him lean his head on my shoulder. "He's going to be fine."

He just shook his head and said, "So much for that study session." I chuckled and combed his thick hair with my fingers.

"Mommy!" I heard Isaac said running over to her.

"Isaac." She said smiling.

"Where's Kyle?" I heard Mark say as he walked in with his perfect suit on.

"Oh your actually worried about him?" Luc asked as he lifted his head off my shoulder.

"Lucas." Samanatha growled out.

"He is my son, of course I worry about him." Mark said.

"Oh, yes of course. All of a sudden, you love your children." He said standing up.

"Lucas, I've had enough of this! I love my children." He yelled.

"Luc, just stop." I whispered.

When he was yelling at his father, I saw anger in his eyes. But now I only see fear.

He sighed and kept looking at me. It seemed like I was calming him down, so I began to rub his back. He pulled me into a hug and I whispered, "Everything is going to be okay."

He didn't say anything except he just started to sob. I combed his hair out with my fingers and he said "I can't let him die, ya know?"

"I know Lucas, I know." I whispered.
