Finally, it's Friday." Hiro was in relief. It was the last day before the start of the winter break. It was lunch time and Hiro decided to go visit Wil and the other boys to learn more about the robot fights. He got there and was greeted by the freshmen. When he wanted to get away from the drama in his mind, he would come to see them to learn about how robots fight and other techniques. "So Hiro, see this chip? This has all the fighting moves recorded to use. But you gotta keep it limited because obviously you're using a remote control, and you have to configure which moves goes to which button. Unless you can build a robot that can understand human language and download over 50 types of martial arts in them, this is the easiest and fastest way to get your bot to battle."

Hiro nodded and watched the two twins have their match. Whenever Hiro wanted to get away from the intense drama going through his mind, he goes to visit the boys and observe what they are doing. As always, they have they alcohol provided by Kid, and although Hiro would drink once in a while, today was not an option. He didn't want to risk another drink because he knew it was one of the reasons his heart has been slowing him down lately. Another reason is that he feels like he might become very reliant on the beverage and didn't want to become too dependent on it.

"You're really smart Hiro, why don't you help us out sometime, we go and compete at a nearby bot fighting area to win some money. It's illegal, but exciting." Hiro thought about his decision, before he could respond, he heard someone yell from the back. "Stop! Stay where you are!" Hiro turned around. Great, security. Kid was scared now, knowing that he was the one that is holding a bottle.

Hiro was sitting in the disciplinary office with officers in the room. Aunt Cass had to get called in from work, and boy was Hiro upset. He was hoping nothing like this would happen again. This time it was serious. A lot more serious. Tadashi was walking through the front office until he found the familiar heads of his family members. He stopped to look closer and found police officers and investigators involved. What was going on? By the time Hiro and Aunt Cass finally got released from the office, Tadashi was still there waiting for them to explain what was going on. Hiro kept his head down, and Cass only said, "I'll take my other nephew too."

The boys were excused from school for the rest of the day and went home. The car ride home was silent. When they reached to the house Hiro was the first to head upstairs to the room. Tadashi stayed downstairs to ask his aunt what was going on. He was informed about the bot fighting and the alcohol involved. Tadashi was shocked but only listened to half of what she was explaining. He stormed upstairs and saw Hiro on bed fiddling with robot prototype. "You've been drinking?!"

Hiro looked up shocked, "No I wasn't. I just happened to hung around some people who were drinking okay." That wasn't enough for Tadashi to allow. "This isn't something you should be doing Hiro, I can't believe you!"

"Why are you even telling me what to do? There's nothing you can do about it Tadashi." Hiro closed his eyes to catch his breath. Oh god, not right now. Please. Tadashi continued. "You need to start fixing your attitude dude cause I have no idea what you're doing."

"Tadashi back off, you have no idea what I'm going through. And you don't want to know."

"Hiro this is just a phase, just acting like this."

"It's not Tadashi. Shut Up!" Hiro was now shouting.

"What is the matter with you?"

"What's the matter? Nothing. Nothing matters."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about how I don't matter to you. I felt like you've changed Tadashi, and that you don't want me as your brother anymore."

"Well maybe if you stopped acting like a brat, I wouldn't have had this problem with you."

"You never pay attention to me anyway!"

"I have my own things to worry about kid! You don't tell me how I'm treating you."

Hiro starts to feel tears in his eyes but Tadashi ignores it. Tadashi turns around to head back to his side of the room. Hiro starts to feel anxiety again, building up the same feeling he's had for the past few months. Loneliness. No one would listen to him. Everyone ignores him. Including his own brother. What happened to the close relationship they had together.

"I guess I was right. Everyone else is right, no one needs me. I'm just a worthless kid. I'm an embarrassment to you am I? Well I'm just gonna tell you that it's because of you I've been suffering all the years. You caused me pain and loneliness. I wanted my brother back, I wanted to feel acknowledged. I wanted to feel loved! When was the last time you said you loved me!" Tadashi stared at Hiro, it was true, he had completely forgotten about his brother. But is it true that was he is feeling serious? He doesn't know what was happening to his brother for the past few years. He remembered the conversations he had with Fred about his brother and his friends. Suddenly, he wasn't thinking straight, this was stressing him out. "You know what, I think you would be best if you left. This is too much for me and I shouldn't even be involved in your problems."

"What?! What are talking about?"

"You want to know how I feel about you. You're a pain! You can never keep yourself out of trouble and it's bothering me!"

"You're not responsible of me you jerk!"

"What!?"

"You heard me jerk! Oh what now? Starting to feel butthurt huh!?"

"Is there anything else you wanted to throw out at me?!"

"I HATE YOU!" But then a pain in his chest hit him. Hiro holds on to his chest as he feels the pain increasing and his breathing became shallow. He falls on his knees and tries to take in air but so far he can't control himself. Tadashi leaves his mood from the argument and bends down to Hiro to get him to sit up. Hiro tries to push his brother away; Tadashi understood that he didn't want his help after the fight, however this serious. "Hiro hear me out, I'm sorry, but we have to get you help right now." Hiro tears start to fall from the excessive pain he was going through. Hiro slowly accepts his brother's help to take him downstairs. Tadashi carries him down and calls for his aunt as he sits Hiro on the couch to get him comfortable. Aunt Cass runs in with the tablets he needs to take, she reassures him and encourages him to take the meds. They'll need to call an ambulance after because they know he's having some sort of heart attack and they know that Hiro is experiencing a new stage they have not handled before. As they waited, Tadashi stayed by Hiro's side and comforts him, telling him that everything will be ok and that he will feel better soon. He was scared, but he needed to stay strong for his brother. He constantly reminded himself too that Hiro was going to be ok. Hiro couldn't cry, but he had tears falling down on his face. There was no way the ambulance was going to come on time. Aunt Cass got the key to the truck and Tadashi carried his brother to the vehicle. The drove as fast as they could to the nearest hospital and burst through the entrance.

"We need help now!" Moments later, nurses and doctors came to the rescue and took Hiro from Tadashi and put him on a stretcher. They made their way to the emergency room and Tadashi tried to follow them but was pushed back by one of the doctors. He fought to go see his brother but he was held down on control from Cass and the others.

Two hours have passed and Tadashi was pacing back and forth. He was thinking about his brother the entire time. He finally realized the Hiro had been depressed for a while. It was his fault. He regretted ever fighting with his brother. He never wanted to do that.

"Ms. Hamada," a nursed entered. Cass got up and walked over to the nurse. Tadashi followed but kept a distance.

"Your nephew is fine now, it was heart attack and blood clotting. This good have been caused by an excess amount of stress and from the intake of alcohol but not too much. What there a hectic activity he was doing before this happened?"

"We had a strong argument. We were angry and yelling at each other."

"That could've exhausted him. Especially since he was very stress before the incident happened. So for now, we'll keep him here for a week to check up on him once in a while and but if you want to see him right now you can." She smiled and showed them the way. They arrived in front of Hiro's room, but Tadashi halts. He is nervous to see Hiro. His Aunt Cass put a hand on his shoulder for reassurance which comforted him. Together, they walked in to see their loved one.

Hiro was awake but it looked like was tired. His eyes moved up to see them as he laid down on the bed. "Hey, how's my little man doing?" Cass said, she sat down on the chair next to him and ran her hand through his hair. Tadashi felt defeated, he didn't like seeing his little brother hooked up to three monitors. He felt terrible. He stared at the ground trying to hide his feelings. "Tadashi." He looked up to find the weak voice came from Hiro. "Hey."

"Hey." Tadashi wasn't sure how to start the conversation. He felt awkward. He shouldn't be feeling like this towards a relative.

"I going to be homeschooled from now on. Aunt Cass and I decided this earlier in the office today. I can't finish school like this anymore."

"I understand." Tadashi was still quiet. Cass knew that the conversation wasn't going to go anywhere. "Tadashi, how about you listen to what Hiro has to say and I'll leave you two alone for a while," she suggested sweetly. Tadashi nodded and Cass left the room. He continued to stand there and look like an idiot waiting for what he was about to hear.

"I've been bullied for too long Tadashi. It hasn't stopped since you left. And it's gotten worse. Ya, fought back a couple of times, but that was when I could. Lately, it's been hard. I gave up. I didn't care. I'll admit, I did drink a couple, but it wasn't enough to get me addicted. I've been feeling really lonely since then and I missed you as a brother. I got jealous of the friends who got your attention the most. I thought I would never amount to you anymore simply because you were better and…" Tadashi was waiting for Hiro to finish but it seemed like he wouldn't. Tadashi now had to ask an important question.

"Hiro, did anyone of my friends attempt to beat you up in the day I found you on the parking lot."

Hiro looked away. He didn't say anything but he nodded. Tears were forming. Tadashi felt a painful relief. He finally got the answer, but he was still shocked that his friends would do such a thing. He looked at Hiro and remembered when Hiro was a little boy. He remembered that he wanted to be just like him, and now, he feels like that could never happen. He remembered that Hiro was always energetic and happy, and now Hiro has given up and depressed. "I'm sorry about the fight we just had. It is all my fault. I have failed being the older brother. I failed protecting you."

Hiro smiled. "Ya you did." By now, Tadashi knew Hiro was being sarcastic, just like we used to be. "And I'm sorry for saying that I hated you. It was in the heat of the moment. I still love you."

"And I love you." Tadashi went over to sit down next to Hiro. They continued to talk about themselves and forgiving each other about the mistakes they made and made promises. For the first time in a long time, Hiro finally felt comfortable around his brother. For Tadashi, this experience was too scary and real. But this was the beginning of Tadashi's idea. He wanted to help people, now he found a way. He'll build a robot that can help people. Help people with their health. Help Hiro. Who knows, what if Tadashi is not around and Hiro has another heart failure. He needed to keep track on Hiro's health and how it should be handled. He finally knew what to do for his next big project.
