Mr Lucas walks inside the house; depressed and overwhelmed with work. He couldn't take the pressure of providing for his family when he realizes that he was losing all his fortune after his financial crisis as a stock broker. He was thinking of just taking his life so his family could live off his life insurance he had on himself. He walked upstairs and goes straight to his first borns room. Jason. He couldn't believe he just turned twenty last month. He was such a bright man, came for the holidays from college. Mr Lucas knew Jason had a great future ahead and he couldn't be more then proud. The next room was nine year old Jin. Mr Lucas kissed his sleeping son before heading out. He debated on going into Matt's room.

Poor Matt.

His world changed once he and wife realized he is born blind. He tried everything in his power to give him a normal life as much as possible. He was even skeptical on putting him in public school afraid he might get bullied or take advantage of. Matt had a really warm heart, but he was placed in a horrible world. And Mr Lucas decided he couldn't leave this earth the without his family. Anything to take their misery away.

He sighed before heading in his bedroom. Mrs Lucas laid sound asleep. He could hear her snoring before he even came inside. He felt so guilty for putting her through the heart aching stress. He wasn't the best husband, and he admitted to himself he did have a problem of cheating and abusing her. If only people realize there were demons he was fighting inside. He laid next to her one last time and whispered how much he loved her. She heard his low whispers and quickly woke up. "What are you doing?" She asked raising her head up just a little bit. Mr Lucas smiled and pecked her forehead "I'm sorry for waking you Quinn, go back to sleep" he said even forcing her head back down on the pillow. He didn't want to start having second thoughts.

But she wouldn't go back to sleep. "Are you alright?"

How could this woman ask if he was okay? How can she be so nice after all he put her through? The thought killed him. He didn't deserve her. She deserved the world. "Quinn, go back to sleep. We will talk later"

She was now sitting up giving him a questionable look. So Mr Lucas had one last thing he had to ask "do you forgive me?"

Scratching her eyes and yawning she asked "for?"

The cheating, lies, and abuse spread through his head. She knew what he did. But she pretended she didn't know.

She didn't want to fight while the kids were asleep. So Quinn just tried to make peace and forgive her husband. No matter how hard she wanted to leave him, she didn't want her family broken. She was waiting until Jin and Matt were older to finally separate from his toxicity. Even though her husband did her wrong, she still had sympathy for him. She still saw the good in him considering the fact they were high school sweethearts.

Before she could even fall back asleep a loud noise from downstairs caught there attention.

Must be Matt.

He's always up around this time. He was still getting used to this new house, so he would normally fall down the stairs or bump into a lot of things to get to the kitchen. Quinn whipped the blankets away from her "I better go check if he's okay" she said

Tensing up Mr Lucas grabbed her arm. "No, I'll do it"

"No, I have to go see if he's okay-

Panicked he finally grabbed her and hugged her; stroking her hair knowing this will be the last time he will get a chance to do this. "I love you" He said. She tried to pull away but he kept a good grip on her. With one hand he pulled out the small pistol and placed it on her belly. "What's that?" She whispered. Her soothing voice made it impossible for him to pull the trigger. "Close your eyes and think about your kids" Mr Lucas said. Quinn suddenly pushed him back and witnessed the gun. She jumped up and placed a hand over her mouth "oh my god!"

"Quinn, hold on"Mr Lucas tried to explain. But his wife started running to the door. He involuntarily aimed at her back and pulled the trigger.

The noise echoed through the night. He watched his wife fall face first on the soft rug near the door. She was inches away from it. He didn't have time to check if she was still alive. He blacked out at that moment. All he was thinking about was if the kids heard the gun fire or not. He went to Jason's room and found him still asleep. Then he checked on Jin; he was tossing and turning but he was still asleep. He then made his way downstairs for little Matt.

The little eight year old was struggling to make his way up the stairs. "What was that?!" He shrieked tears already streaming down his face. He was always so sensitive. Mr Lucas made his way downstairs and grabbed the fragile boy. He took him to the living room and made him stand. "It's nothing."

"It sounded like a firework." He said poking out his lower lip. "Where's mom?" He said already trying to break free from his father. "She's not home. She went out with friends, you know how she is, she loves to see her friends" he lied. Matts body relaxed and he asked "then what was that noise?" Mr Lucas didn't even have to hide the gun from his son. Staring at him made him almost burst into tears. He didn't want Matt to suffer from this evil world without him or Quinn. So he thought this was the best decision. "What were you looking for in the kitchen?" Mr Lucas said

Looking guilty, Matt shrugged "I was hungry"

Mr Lucas got up and went to the fridge. This was the last time he would feed his son, so he wanted to make it last. He pulled out some strawberry ice cream; Matt's favorite. He gave it to his son and watched him excitedly eat the calorie filled dish. He pecked him on the forehead one last time before pointing the trigger at him. Matt just continued eating his ice cream, Mr Lucas knew this kill would be painless to his son. He fiddled with the trigger for a moment. When he was about to pull it, Matt looked up and said "I love you"

Mr Lucas broke down. He couldn't do it. Not like this. "Oh god please forgive me" he said before sitting his son on his lap "I love you so much"

He was oblivious to the fact Matt could feel the gun when they hugged. Matt was always obsessed with guns, so he knew exactly what type of gun his father had. He soon got terrified. When they pulled apart, Matt got ahold of the gun quicker then Mr Lucas can blink. He pointed it at his father, but he was pointing it the wrong way.

Mr Lucas smiled. Not at the fact that his life was about to be on the line, but the fact that his blind son was so smart. He helped Matt point the gun in the right direction before begging him to pull the trigger.

Matt didn't. In fact, he was shaking like a leaf. So Mr Lucas pulled the trigger for him.

Still shaking, Matt heard his dad fall on the ground. He ran to the basement; bumping into several things before he got the gasoline. He listened to a lot of crime documentaries, and burning the evidence was the only thing on his mind. He spilled gasoline everywhere, including on himself and his deceased father. He stripped naked and knew exactly where to find a lighter; Mr Lucas was a smoker and always had it in his right pocket. He easily got it and lit him up.

That's when Matt screamed for his brothers.

He didn't expect to hear his mother respond. "Matt! What did you do?"

Surprised that his mom was still in the house, he started to cry for her. Apologizing for his instant reactions. Quinn grabbed her son and took him outside. She was shot in the back so it was a bit of a struggle. Once Matt was outside and safe she kissed him one last time. "I'm going to get your brothers"

The fire was getting worse and you could hear Jason's and Jin's screams from inside. Matt wanted to help but he didn't want his mother hurt. So he wouldn't let go of her arm "please don't go"

Her voice started to get softer and softer and she knew she was losing her life. "I'll be back" she promised. "Don't come inside, just wait here. I'll be back"

Then she raced back into the flames.

She didn't even make it upstairs. She lost consciousness and the fire soon took her life.

Jason was the one that saved Jin. He raced inside his little brothers room, grabbed him from his hiding place; the closet and forced him out the window. "You have to jump!" He said

"Jump? Are you crazy? We will die!" Jin screamed weeping. They were three stories high from the grass. Jason knew this was the only way. So he grabbed his squirming brother and jumped.

I finally had the guts to step on the scale. Jackson motivated me to get back into the gym and stop stressing over things I had no control of. It's time to work on me and only positive things. No more crying or getting mad over stupid stuff.

The scale read 325. I lost one pound. One fucking pound. I wasn't surprised. It's only been a few days that I have committed myself.

I went downstairs and found Junior dozing off on the couch. He fell asleep to Elmo. It was almost 8pm and I was expecting Jason to drop off Dream any moment.

Cindy and Jackson went out to dinner; probably to work things out. I tried hard not to text them. The last thing I wanted was for them to have excuses on not getting back together. I always wondered why they even divorced.

I went over to pick up my son to take him upstairs when the doorbell rang. I set him back down and went to get the door; expecting it to be Jason.

But the wind whipped out my lungs when I found Matt standing there instead. He looked like he just came from the gym himself; wearing all black. Black sweatshirt, black sweatpants...and black sneakers. It was almost nighttime. Why was he wearing such hot clothing? When did he get out from the hospital? I thought he had another month left. He didn't have his shades on today but he did have anger spread all over his face. I gulped. I'm guessing he didn't take the news well. I thought maybe a divorce would be good for both of us. I needed to set him free so he could find his happiness. I'm not sure we were right for each other.

I cleared my throat but kept the door still. I didn't want to invite him in. I was scared.

"Hey" I said

"Hey?" He said.

"Yeah? I didn't know they let you out this early" I said hiding the fear from my voice. He gave me a glare before stepping in without my permission. I slowly shut the door and watched him start pacing. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Are you kidding?" He said now stopping. He was getting redder by the minute "I go and get the help that I needed. I didn't just do it for myself, but for you and the kids. And now you're telling me that you basically want me out all your lives? Are you kidding Quinn? Are you fucking kidding?!"

I looked over at Junior. He was still asleep. So I let out a deep breath "I just think it's for the best-

He grabbed my arm suddenly and tightened his grip. I winced in pain and ordered him to let me go. "Why do you do this to me? Are you trying to drive me mad?"

"Let me go"

But he only pulled me closer "after all I did for you Quinn. I accepted you for you! Made everything go well with you and Jin, even cared for your daughter, and now you want me out your life?" His voice gets deeper "I have a problem I know. I went and fixed it, and you're just going to give up on me? Is it that easy for you Quinn? Do you understand how that makes me feel?"

I refused to show him any fear. I was tired of feeling weak. I forced my arm away from him "don't touch me again! I'm not your slave. I said it's for the best so just move on alright." His face fell and he stepped closer. I forced my hand on his chest to keep him back "I won't forget what we had okay? But don't ever lay your hands on me again"

You could tell he was surprised by this. I knew he didn't expect hearing this from me. But I was just tired of being scared of him. He's not that type of person, I understand he's angry, but he shouldn't force something that doesn't want to be forced. "Who do you think is going to love you Quinn" he started laughing "you're fat, a pig, worthless, what man would want someone like you?"

My heart dropped

He smirked "I mean my brother didn't. He thought you were a slob. Everyone thought you were a slob. And the one guy that actually liked you for you, is being pushed alway. You're a bitch, an ungrateful bitch. A fat useless bitch" He wanted me to cry, he wanted to see me break down. But I wasn't going to give him that satisfaction "Get out"

He pouted "did I hurt your feelings? Well come back to reality, with your mind set, you will forever be a lonely miserable bitch. Dragging your children along with your misery-

"Stop!"

"Stop what? I'm only telling the truth. You're a fat beast. Making everyone around you miserable. Look at your brother..he's miserable, Cindy is miserable, hell even my brother is miserable, it's not long before your children get tired of you. Continue to eat your life away. You will forever be that fat girl that tried to kill herself in high school."

"GET OUT!" I shrieked; clawing my arm so hard to keep from crying. "You have problems Matt!"

"No my problem is you! After all I've done for you! You treat me like shit and I'm sick of it"

I grabbed the broom just in case he tried to hit me. He was turning into the hulk right now but instead of turning green, he was turning dark red. "You have some deep issues Matt. Like I get it, maybe the loss of your parents started this."

His eye twitched and I knew I hit a nerve. "You really need someone to talk to. I don't understand why you're-

Matt suddenly pounced on me. I swung my broom at his face. It didn't do nothing to him, in fact, the broom broke in half, but he still managed to pin me on the wall; one hand was around my neck and the other was on my hands. I couldn't move. "Get off me!" I said trying to kick him. He pressed his lips on my ear before whispering "I will take away everything you love from you. Don't test me"

I started to scream, trying as hard as possible to fight him off me. But his grip on my neck only got tighter. I felt my life flashing out of me at that second. Is this it? Was this the end?

"Get off my mom"

I came back to life to see Junior punching Matt. His little fists were doing no damage. All Matt did was kick my son in the stomach, making him fly to the other room. It was at this moment when I realized, this can't be Matt. The person choking the life out of me, is not Matt. Junior bounced back up and came rushing back. And Matt did it again. Junior kept coming back. I dug my thumbs deep inside Matt's eye sockets. "You can't hurt me. I'm blind! I can't feel a thing"

"Maybe I can"

His head whipped back and all I saw was Jin.

He yanked his brother off of me and put him to the ground. Junior jumped on my lap as I sank on the floor. I watched as Jin started pounding his brother. He knocked Matt unconscious but that didn't stop his punches. He kept punching him. Over and over again. "Stop! You're going to kill him" Jason said appearing at the scene. He yanked his brother off his youngest brother.

Matt immediately came to, and tried to get to his feet but Jin shoved him back down. "Lay back down you spineless idiot! Listen to me, if you come back here again..I will kill you."

Matt spit bloody spit at him "oh? Are you disowning me now?"

Jin only balled his fists tighter. He caught a good glimpse at Junior and I. He gave us that "look"

I couldn't explain that look. But it gave me straight goosebumps. He looked back at his brother "You are no longer my brother, do you hear me? I want you back in Florida. Forget that I even exist" Jason looked so helpless. He was in between his brothers not knowing what to do. "Jin you don't mean that" Jason started

"He laid his hands on Quinn and my son. I will never forgive him, I want Matt to stay away from my family, and I mean that" he said before slowly walking towards us. He squatted down and started checking for bruises on Junior and I.

I didn't even have the strength to ask him about Dream. I prayed to god she didn't witness everything that just happened.

Matt finally stood up. Jason grabbed his arm and said "I am disappointed in you"

"What?" Matt said

"I think you should just go" Jason said already pushing him to the door "I can't believe you would turn out like dad" Jason continued.

Matt flinched away from him and said "I'm worse then dad. I'll see you guys soon"
