My little bro is confusing as fuck. Earlier today he found his soulmate and the first thing he does it threaten him.

I let out a chuckle. At least his soulmate is still alive.

Years ago (Remy is 9)

"Don't worry Rem. I won't bother you anymore." I wondered what he means by that. Wait, why do I care? I hate him right now. He ran off, probably going to his house. I don't care. It's not my fault he's a meanie. My does he have to be my soulmate?

I started walking home. At least Virgil will be there for me. He's always there for me. The park was nearby. I need a break before I go home. I walked over to the swings and sat down on one of them. I gently pushed myself forward. I sighed and dragged my feet on the ground stopping the swing. I looked up at the sky. There were a few dark clouds coming. Probably rain. I better find somewhere.

I looked around and soon found a coffee shop near the park to go into. Starbucks? Must be west coast. I went inside. Not much people. A few girls, some boys, and the workers. I still have a few bucks in my pocket. Maybe I can order something. Father wouldn't like me drinking coffee....meh.

"Hello dear. Where's your parents?"

"Home. Can I get a coffee?" She hesitated and looked around. Looks like she wont sell to a kid. Does she even know who my father is? I quickly shook the thoughts out of my head and threw a fifty dollar bill on the counter. She looked at me like I was the fricking pope. Whoever that is. I just know he's some famous dude in England or something.

"Where did you get this dear?"

"My father. Can I have a coffee?" she slowly nodded and took the money.

"Just one?" I thought for a minute and shook my head. "How many?"

"As many as that'll get me" maybe I could die of a coffee overdose or maybe father will forgive me for drinking coffee if I bought him one.

"Which kind?" She motioned towards a menu. How are there so many coffee's?

"I dont care right now. Suprise me" She nodded.

"Name?"

"Remy" should I tell her my last name? Nah.

A few minutes passed with her and some other workers making coffee or something. "Remy!" I walked up to the counter and all I could say is; I've never seen so much drinks at once in my life. There was maybe ten whole coffee cups filled with coffee in front of me. "you okay sugar? Gonna need some help?" I shook my head.

"Do you have a phone I could borrow. I need to call someone." She nodded and handed my her cell. I typed in my dads number.

"Hello?"

"Father. Can you pick me up?"

"Remington? Where are you? Who's phone are you using?"

"I'm at the coffee place near the park. Can you pick me up?"

"I'll send Gabe. Wait there." He hung up. I handed the lady's phone back.

"I have someone coming to get me." she nodded and went back to her business.

Gabe arrived a few minutes later and was suprised at how much coffee I had. I drank about three cups before he got here and was now a bit hyper. He helped me anyways. Probably because father is his boss or because I know how to shoot with good accuracy. I waved goodbye to the nice lady that gave me my coffee before jumping in the car.

On the car ride back I started humming my song and remembered what happened. Then all of a sudden....I couldn't remember it. What's happening? Why can't I remember? Then...a new song came to me. What? This isnt my song? I'll have to ask mother about it when I get home.

"mommy?" she looked up at me from the couch where she and Virgil were watching tv.

"Remy? What is it? Why do you have coffee?"

"What does it mean when you cant remember your soulmate song? Why can't I remember my song? Why do I know a different song?" she paused the tv and looked up at me. She looked sad.

"Where's Isaac?"

"I don't know. He was being a meanie and we got in a fight. Then he ran home."

"We gotta go find him. Kevin watch Virgil." The man behind us nodded and moved into the living room by the couch.

"Mommy? What's going on?" She lead me outside and jumped in the car. I sat down in shotgun and tried asking her again.

"Baby, why don't you sing me your new song. Ok? Can you do that while we drive to Ian's house?" I nodded and looked at the road in front of us.

"Loving and fighting

Accusing, denying
I can't imagine a world with you gone
The joy and the chaos, the demons we're made of
I'd be so lost if you left me alone

You locked yourself in the bathroom
Lying on the floor when I break through
I pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming "Please don't leave me"

Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you

A long endless highway, you're silent beside me
Drivin' a nightmare I can't escape from
Helplessly praying, the light isn't fadin'
Hiding the shock and the chill in my bones

They took you away on a table
I pace back and forth as you lay still
They pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming, "Please don't leave me"

Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you

I don't wanna let go
I know I'm not that strong
I just wanna hear you
Saying baby, let's go home
Let's go home
Yeah, I just wanna take you home

Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you"

I was crying now and I don't know why. I looked over at mom. She was crying too.

"Remy..." she looked over at me "I have something to tell y-"

A car crashed into us.

Everything seemed to slow down in those few seconds. The car was flipping. Glass was scattered in the air. It felt like I was floating in my seat. But my seatbelt was stopping me. I couldn't hear anything in those seconds. The car flipped over. I hit my head. Everything went black.

I woke up in a bright room. I slowly opened my eyes to see Virgil and Kevin at the end of the bed. Virgil was crying. Kevin was looking at the ground. He was probably only here because father can't show his face without someone noticing him as a bad guy.

"V-Virge?" they both shot their heads up.

"Remy!" Virgil came to hug me but everything hurt.

"Virgil. Let your brother rest. You're hurting him." Virgil nodded and sat back down in a chair by Kevin.

A bit later a doctor came in and gave me a checkup. He said something about me staying there for a few days but that wasn't what I was worried about.

"You're lucky he survived. If not for his mother he could've been killed just like her. I can't believe this, three patients in one day. Two deaths."

"Wha-what do you mean?"

"A boy was rushed to the emergency room a few hours ago. Didn't make it. And your...mother."

"Who was the boy?"

"That's classified."

Isaac?

Now.

It's funny to think about it. My mother and soulmate died on the same day I drank my first coffee. That's probably why I'm addicted to the stuff. At least father doesn't have to deal with the even worse pain of having a sad song stuck in your head for loosing your soulmate.

Father and mother weren't soulmates. Father never had one and mothers died before she met them. But they loved eachother and had me and Virge.

"Hey Rem. What's wrong?" Virgil crouched down to where I was sitting on the floor of my room. I don't know why he went into my room or how he got in since I locked the door. I leaned my head into his shoulder and broke down. "Thinking about them again. I miss her too. I wish I knew Isaac better. At least you're still here." I sighed and felt him wrap his arms around me.

Both of us were crying now. Holding each other, on the ground, crying. "Th-thanks br-bro" I managed to get out. I felt Virgil nod.

"It's okay Rem. You'll always have me. I'm your brother, I would never leave you. I love you to infinity and beyond."

Eventually we had to get off the floor. He helped me to my bed and wrapped a blanket around me. "What time is it?"

"About 1 in the morning." He walked around the room and picked up my phone. He turned it on and scrolled through it for a minute before I Won't Give Up started playing softly on my speaker. I leaned my head against the wall and closed my eyes. I heard a bit of shuffling and some other noise. "Rem you need to take the pills. Come on" I held out my hand and felt him place two pills in it. I popped them in my mouth and swallowed before he could go down to get water. "You really shouldn't take dry pills."

He sat down beside me and layed his head on my shoulder. It was way to quiet for my liking right now. "Hey Virge, why'd you threaten your soulmate?"

"Don't like him"

"Already? Damn little bro"

"He looks annoying and way too...out there"

"So am I" I laughed.

"Yea but you have an actual fashion sense. Unlike mister way too bright colors for this world. And you get me"

"It's my job. If I didn't understand your emo head you wouldn't understand my coffee addicted self"

"You really need to work on that Rem"

"I know but...it's hard"

"I know Rem"

Everything went silent again. After a bit I started feeling tired. I felt my eyelids start closing and before I knew it, I woke up to my alarm.
