Two months we have been attending the court counselling, talking about how we feel about each other. All we got from Joshua is bullshit he never thought about anyone but himself. Savannah is sixteen weeks pregnant which is noticeable but she looks amazing, still radiant. Gable and I are on our way to another meeting to hear Joshua's bullshit come out of his mouth.

How my brother got so cold is beyond me, the way he talks the way he acts he is greedy just blatantly greedy wanting everything to be his. Even my wife, who I tried to protect since the day we married. Savannah is always in my thoughts regret is what I have for her being alone to bring my daughter Kenna up but it was a choice we both made to protect her. And it is a decision I would do over if it meant she is safe.

Joshua has not spoken about us having another child, but I bet you he is thinking of a way to take his revenge out on us. Pull into the car park. Parking up, Gable looks at me. "Will he ever change?". He asks shaking my head we step out making our way to the room we had to meet in.

Entering the room seeing Pierce sitting waiting, but no Joshua yet. "Pierce". Nodding at him while sitting facing him, he smiles takes a sip from his take away cup. Gable sits next to me we waited for a few minutes but no Joshua. Looking down at my watch knowing he is late the door opens he strolls in all smug looking.

"Bet you thought I would not come". His harsh voice sounding sinister. Taking his seat he unbuttons his jacket leans back in the chair acting all smug. "I guess we should start". His voice making me feel irate with the way he is just saying it like he had no care in the world. He pats Pierce on the shoulder but the look he gives Joshua makes Gable and me sit up to take note that Joshua has pissed him off. Look over at the woman waiting for us to start while she takes notes she looks at each of us.

"I need you to tell me about your parents. What was it like growing up together". Glance at Gable he sits forward.

"I am the second youngest. You will know from our previous conversations that I am more the shy brother. I like to keep to myself but growing up with two older brothers is no picnic". Listening to him talk made me realise that our parents loved us all the same way but they shadowed Gable for some reason that I have no idea why. "My parents were loving fun outgoing showed us all love but having Joshua and Pierce older than me they picked on me from an early age. Mum would watch them telling them they should not treat me any different". Gable takes a deep breath. "It started when I had to go into hospital mum was carrying Cole at the time. I had been extremely ill to the point my parents thought they were going to lose me. I did die for a few minutes well; I was pronounced clinically dead before they brought me back. I could not breathe properly my lung had clasped my heart failed they put me on the donor list. Mum stayed every night with me till the day they found a heart that was the day mum had Cole. My little brother was born and I had a new heart". Hearing all this not actually knowing why Gable had been the way he is they never told me I never asked about the scar he had either.

Look over at Joshua he smirks Pierce looked upset with himself while Gable talked. "My mum carried Cole to see me when he was just an hour old. My father stood staring down at me laying in the bed with tubes everywhere Cole laid beside me but it was how my little brother's hand grabbed my finger not letting go my heartbeat at that moment picked up to the speed it was meant to have been. My mother and father smiled telling me I was special and that I need to look after him". Place my hand on his shoulder he smiles at me. "When I got home Joshua and Pierce would tease me because I could not do anything but rest for a couple of months. They hated me plus they hated Cole. Every time Cole cried mum would sit with me placing Cole on my lap he would instantly go quiet". Smiling remembering how Gable would save me from Joshua and Pierce when they would be nasty to me.

"Mum and dad should not have had any more children after Pierce". Joshua spits out. "When it was just the two of us it was just fine then Gable came along who needed our parent's attention all the time because he was unwell in and out of the hospital. The day dad called us into the lounge to sit down telling us mum was pregnant is the day my father took his belt off to whip me all because I got angry with mum being pregnant ". No remorse for any of his actions. "Pierce and I made a pact that we would not let things change we would stand together no matter what. Locking Cole in the boot of the limo telling him not to say a word that we were playing a game of hide and seek. My father once again took his belt off to whip me. Nothing happened to Cole he was missing for twelve hours why the hell my parents worried I have no clue". Shake my head remembering all the things he had done to me how he treated me from the beginning. "When I fell out the tree broke my leg my mother and father stayed with me the whole time reassuring me showing me how much they loved me. Soon as we get back home they pampered me for six weeks until my cast came off then back to normal". His hateful voice towards our parents is not what I wanted to hear. "When I met Patsy at the age of fifteen that is when my life changed. She was there when I needed her we married when we left school she fell pregnant which caused arguments between us she had an abortion a few months later she fell pregnant again we had a few choice words but she wanted to keep it". Watching his body language he still had no remorse for all he had done. "She and my parents went to Cole's school to watch his sports that afternoon their car was struck by an arctic lorry which killed them all. I should have been with them but I had a meeting that was running late. When I heard what had happened I contacted Pierce who already knew. Staying at the office for the rest of the night not sure what I had to do. I had been eighteen, my wife, my parents gone in a split second". Still no tears from Joshua my god he is putting on a good show. At least Pierce and Gable are wiping their eyes I am doing the same too.

"That day when a police officer shows up at UNI wanting to have a chat with me I thought I had done something wrong but when he said about my parents being in an accident my entire body went cold". Pierce bows his head looking at his hands. "I was Sixteen my parents were gone. Leaving UNI right away heading home thinking about Gable and Cole how young they were. Thinking how would we stay together but we managed it. We did take care of each other but Joshua got greedy when he started to run the business he changed overnight into a cold-hearted man. He never shred a tear for our parents or his wife he took it all for granted". Joshua looks at him with evil eyes. Pierce is right Joshua never cried one bit.

"Being the youngest when our parents died not having much time with them hit me the hardest. Started to rebel making it hard for my elder brothers to take care of me. Meeting Savannah who I found I could open up to tell her all my problems plus talk about my parents to her. At first, we would just talk meet for coffee until the day I asked her on a date she had been reluctant at first but agreed we fell in love married a year later we fell pregnant ". Smiling while talking about her fills me with warmth. "We had a daughter Kenna who I adore to the core of her body. She is my world. We had to live apart it is something we decided together we did not want to do it but my wife and daughter needed to be protected. Walking into the office to glance at Savannah slyly she would smile making sure no one knew our secret. Meeting secretly so I could see my daughter this is what we had done to protect ourselves. Being with my wife now having her in my life the way it should be is all I want". Looking across to Joshua he shakes his head. "I seek answers to why our parents died. I want to know if Joshua had something to do with it. It is strange how one minute he is going then the next an emergency meeting, it just does not add up". Staring him down he smirks at me.

"Cole you can think what you like I had nothing to do with them dying. Do you forget that my wife was in the car?. She was carrying my child at the time". He spits at me.

"A child you did not want". My anger is coming out. We both stood staring each other down. Gable holds me back the same as what Pierce is doing to Joshua.

"You know nothing about what Pasty and I wanted. Look what you did to your wife. You are no different from me". Our voices raised.

"Do not compare me to you. I love my wife I protected her from you". He lunges at me. We are now in a physical fight. Not letting him get the better of me I knock him on his ass. "You need to watch what you say about my family. You are an evil psychotic twisted man. All you think about is yourself. You do not give two fucks about anyone". Pulling my arm from Gable take my seat trying to calm down. Gable sits back down.

"You knocked him off his feet. Just wish I had done it". We laughed. Pierce helps Joshua to his seat the woman looks at us shaking her head in disbelieve. The session finished we left at different times. My blood still pumping around fast.

Need to calm down before seeing Savannah telling her what happened will not be easy. Get in the car to drive home thoughts of what had happened still so fresh in my mind. Did we sort anything out? No, if anything it is worse.
