It's been a year since he went to jail for the horrible thing he did to that sweet girl Margret, she was always such a sweet person to him and I hate my brother for what he did, but we share the same blood from our father, the same blood of the man who destroyed our family, the same son of a bitch who put our mother in the hospital 3 times, 3 fucking times, and the last time he was in this house my brother punched him trying to save me from being beat for standing up for my mother, and I remember that day when my mom finally called the cops.

Finally after all that time I was 13 then, and I don't know if it was right thinking he should have got a death sentence for all that he did and I remember mom telling my brother the cops discovered that he had a fake name because he was running from the police, and that before he even knew my mom he had killed two young girls, sisters for a matter of fact.

God I hated that man and now my brother, the same one who protected me, the same one who worked to help mom pay bills, the same one I looked up to and wanted to be when I was older, and now he too sits in prison just like our father I guess his traits are in not only my brother, but me as well.

November 12th, 2018

He woke up that cold windy Saturday feeling like shit, but he still forced himself to get up and make his way to the bathroom, and to run some hot water, he took off his boxers and hopped into the shower.

He made sure the water was hot enough to burn his skin, and as stood there letting the water burn his skin, as it ran over him he began to think about what today was and what he was going to do, wish his brother a happy birthday and be nice, or treat him like the criminal he is. He wanted to send him letter explaining how much he hatted Jace for every fucking thing he did to that pour girl.

Today would be his 19th birthday, and the day mom would force him to go see his big brother.

He turned off the water and grabbed his towel to dry off when he got out of the shower he went to his closet and put on a gray t-shirt and pair of blue jeans, and his black Pumas, when he stepped out of the closet he looked around the room for his black jacket and found it right under his bed putting it on then walked back into the bathroom and dipped his fingers into his hair gel and slicked his dyed black hair to the side and then grabbed his blue lip ring and placed it in his bottom lip and then grabbed his small black earring and placed it in his left ear.               

At school

When he got to school that morning, at his locker Margret stood wattling for him he walked up to his locker not even noticing the girl that stood next to him.

"Ethan?" she asked him gently.

"Yes Margret."

"Can you tell Jace I wish him a happy birthday?" He eyed her moment when she asked that.

"Why would you want to wish my brother happy birthday after all he did to you?" He asked his voice a tad bit sharp.

"Well I also wanted to ask if you could tell him that I've moved past what we once were and that I forgive him?" He opened his locker as she said that and stared at her blankly.

"Why would you forgive a son of a bitch like him?" He said his voice harsh, she stared at him a moment looking shocked.

"I didn't expect that from you... Well if I don't forgive him he'll haunt me forever so p-please tell him that. please?" He slammed the locker, but he didn't mean to he just wasn't controlling his strength, it scared Margret.

"I didn't mean to slam it, I'll tell him Margret I swear I will." and with that he walked away as the bell rang and started making his way to class.

At lunch he decided to eat outside under one of the small trees the school planted around the out side area.

As Katheryn made her way out of the cafeteria with her tray in hand she scanned the area looking for a place to sit and that was when she saw Ethan who hasn't been at school for 3 months she smiled and walked over behind where he was eating and slowly sat beside him, he didn't notice her at first because he was listening to music but he caught a glimpse of the black combat boots she was wearing and looked up at her taking one bud out.

"Hi?" He asked looking at her oddly because he recognized her black to purple hair and her pretty blue eyes, he didn't know where from, but he knew he knew her, she giggled.

"Do you truly not remember me?" She asked with a smile, he nodded. "Hehe.. funny. Well I'm the person who helped my best friend get his first girlfriend, I'm the one who loves squirrels and owns one." He shook his head.

"Really Ethan?" She gave him a dirty look, and that's when the light bulb went on.

"Oooh.. Katheryn right?" He asked with confidence.

"I hate you." She said punching him in the shoulder.

"Hey! What did I do?!" He ask holding his shoulder.

"You fucking forgot about me! Me! Your best-friend! That's what you did Ethan!" She took a breath.

"God I love you Ethan , but you are so stupid sometimes, I swear." She said with a laugh. He looked at her with a gentile smile, as she looked at him with those same deep blue eyes.

"Now where the hell have you been?" She asked seriously.

"Dealing with a lot of shit because of my brother." He said looking to the ground.

"Oh yeah I hared about that..." She said quietly.

"Yeah he hurt that girl he basically murdered her sister, and after all the hell we went through with our dad he dose this shit." He said rage running in his words.

"But I guess that's just what happens to the men in my family....." He breath sharply.

"Wonder what stupid shit will cause me to have my ass in jail." He said running his fingers through his black hair.

"Hey!" "What?" He said looking up at her.

"Shut your fucking mouth." She said calmly.

"Wha-" she cut him off.

"Don't say another fucking word about you going to jail, because I swear to god you say another word I will leave right this instant." She said looking at him intensely.

"I wouldn't care I mean you should leave you don't need to be around me at school anyways you don't want to be know as the girl who hangs around a criminal's brother." He said still looking at the the ground.

"Hey!" she yelled harshly pulling his arm hard so he would face her, his green-blue eyes meeting her beautiful blue ones.

"Just because your fucked up dad and ass hole of a brother are shitty criminals dose not fucking mean your like them." She said angrily and his eyes widened a bit because that's when he realized this was not the same girl from 10th grade.

"Your cussing." He said supersized.

"Where the hell dose that fit in this conversation?!" she yelled confused.

"It doesn't, but I just want to know why." He said with a smile.

"People... Now you say your going to end up in jail like those bastards again your going to get you self killed." She said pointing a finger in his face.

"Ummmm..." He ran off.

"By me! Oh my fucking god I swear you not being in school is making you stupid." She said seriously.

"And you being in school makes you the smart one which means you should know what heredity is." He said looking at her with a grim smile making her eyes fill with rage as she punched him in the arm ten times harder then before.

"BAD ETHAN!!" She yelled making Lily Smitten the biggest bookworm in the whole school turn around and yelled back with joy.

"OH MY GOD! It's like Yamato~Senpia  and Tenzu~Kun in the manage "Ninja Demons" has came true!"

"Ummmm-"

"What the fuck Lily?!" Kathryn asked her cutting him off as  Lily stood up and turned to them walking their way.

"This is why I don't keep secretes Kathy." She said walking off making Kathryn look down away from Ethan blushing bright red, when she was completely gone Ethan asked curiously.

"What is this alien talk?" She snickered next to him and let that turn into a loud laugh as she looked at him shaking her head.

"What?" He said trying not to laugh with her.

"Let me-" she wheezed trying to catch her breath "Le-let me breath." 

"Okay" He said with a hint of laughter, after she caught her breath she wiped tears from her eyes and looked at Ethan with her smile that same smile that he loved. "Okay, so that "Alien talk" came from a special breed of alien called.." She paused for dramatic effect "A fangirl." She said with an awkward smile.

"And that is?" She laughed

"It's  someone that doesn't scream over anything at all... and totally doesn't ship anything." She said sarcastically.

"Ship.... things.... so the send screams over seas and rivers?" She rolled her eyes.

"A fangirl is someone who freaks out of anything their a fan of, and not ships on a sea but ships as in she thinks this person and that person would be cute together." She explained.

"So we were acting like her favorite ship?" He asked tilting his head like a confused cat.

"Now you get it." She said hand motioning to him.

"So wait.." he paused "huh.." "So what dose that have to do with secretes?"

"Ummm, well... um " She mumbled looking down at her bracelet playing with the apple charm on it.

"Wait..." He ran off looking at her bracelet seeing  her play with that apple charm brought back a memory of when she had her first crush, their eyes met for a moment as she glanced up at him shyly and looked down quickly, and he could feel his hand shaking as he tried to come up with a way to word want he was about say. "D-do you..." he paused watching every motion the way her hair fell, how she gripped that apple charm, and how she looked upset, angrily, sad, I wish

'I knew if this was true before I brought it up.' He thought to himself, but his heart became his mind as his hand fell over hers making her look up at him.

"Katheryn." He said as she looked up at him. "Do you want to go somewhere Saturday like a date?"

She answered with a smile. "Where were you thinking of going?" His heartbeat in hid ears, he moved his hand to her chin and slowly moved it to her cheek.

"Where ever you want." pulling her closer making her lips quiver.

As they sat there, in that interaction room, mom preparing to not cry he keep playing the words over in his head again and again.

"Mom please help me." the words his brother said the last time they saw him, after he said that he had to force his mom away from the money for his bail.

"Please don't yell this time." She said pulling his right hand into hers

"I won't mom I swea-" He was cut off because of the large metal door opening, the man he saw looked just like their father except for the eye and hair, you could tell that he had been in there quite sometime his black hair was to his neck his side burns where thicker, when he sat down and the door was close his brownishgreen eyes locked with his brother.

"Thank you both for seeing me." His eyes now on their mom.

"Even in jail you look like your uncle Standly." The room fell to silence for a moment and then Ethan spoke.

"Margret says happy birthday and that she wants you to know that she's moved on and forgives you." Ethan stood up.

"That is all I have to say to you. Jace." His words came out harsh and sharp and he ment what he said.

Ethen did pay any attion to the rode he was crossing as he walked out of the jail house, a car dirving to fast hit him hard knocking his soul from his body into a glory of red.

          Ethan was 17 when there was a car wreak and sadly he was in the middle of it.

Katheryn sat at the edge of his bed when the doctors said he was braindead, and she cried more than she's ever cried in her whole life.
