Warning this story contains alcohol use and sensitive language readers discretion is advised.
Prince sits in his car drinking his flask full of whiskey. Prince recently got back from Brisbane from visiting his nephew. "Shit, I'm late," Prince said getting out of his car and heading into the stadium. "Hey Prince!" Billy, one of Prince's team members, said greeting him. "Hey Billy," Prince said now at his locker. "The Coach wanted to see you, he looked pissed," Billy said standing next to his locker. "Course he does," Prince said before shutting his locker and heading to his coach's office. "You wanted to see me?" Prince asked standing in the doorway. "Prince! Where the hell have you been?!" The couch asked. "Take it easy Mike I was in Brisbane visiting my nephew," Prince explained. "Brisbane?! What the hell were you doing out there for?!" Mike shouted. "It was a family matter Mike," Prince explained. "I don't care if the queen of England was there! You were supposed to report back as soon as you landed from Los Angeles," Mike said now angry with the husky.
"Fine, it won't happen again," Prince said rolling his eyes. "Are you drunk?" Mike asked, noticing Prince couldn't keep his balance. "So what if I am?" Prince snapped back. "Go home," Mike simply said. "What?" Prince asked. "You heard me! Go home! I'm not going to have my star quarterback drunk at practice," Mike said looking at the troubled quarterback. "You can't do this!" Prince said as he punched the wall. "That's your problem right there Huskin! You're too hot headed!" Mike shouted. "Go home, take a shower, go to rehab do something!" Mike shouted. "Screw you!" Prince shouted. "Yeah, screw you too," Mike shot back. Prince then stormed out of the office and went back to his car. Prince got into his car and slammed the door. "Fuck!" Prince shouted before taking heavy drinks from his flask.
Prince then started his car and drove to his penthouse. Prince stumbles into his penthouse with a new bottle in his hand. Prince drinks his bottle while throwing his keys on the counter. Prince sits down at the couch and then turns and looks at a picture of Emily. "Don't look at me like that kid sister," Prince said, taking another drink of his bottle. Prince stares at the picture as he continues to drink. Prince chuckled remembering the times he would get into trouble as a kid and Emily would come to his rescue.
(Flashback)
"Prince! Be careful!" Nine year old Emily said worried for her older brother. "Hey! I can do this!" Prince eleven years ago said. "Okay, just don't fall," Emily said watching her brother climb the tree. Prince then grabbed his sister's doll. "Got it!" Prince said with a smile. Just as Prince said that the branch broke and Prince fell out of the tree. "Prince!" Emily cried as she ran over to her brother's aid. "Are you okay?" Emily asked, helping her brother sit up. "Yeah, here's your doll," Prince said handing his sister the doll. "Prince your bleeding!" Emily said, noticing a cut on her brother's eyebrow. "It's just a scratch kid sister," Prince said, wiping the blood from his eyebrow. "It looks like it hurts," Emily said, still worried for her brother. "It's not going to hurt as bad as the kid who threw your doll in the tree," Prince said standing up. "Prince! No! Dexter was just playing," Emily said trying to get her brother not to fight. "Sure, just like the time he pushed you and made you cry," Prince said as he walked to Dexter's house. "No!" Emily said, pulling on her brother's tail. "Let go of my tail! I'm going to teach that jerk a lesson," Prince said, looking at his sister.
"No Prince! You're going to get in trouble!" Emily said, still holding on to her brother's tail. "So, it's not like I've been in trouble before," Prince said, taking his tail back from his sister. "I'm telling mom!" Emily said defensive. "Go ahead! At least I'll beat the crap out of Dexter," Prince shot back. "You said a bad word!" Emily said pointing at her brother. "Emily, just go home," Prince said, looking at his sister. "No! Not without you!" Emily protested. "I'm older than you! So do as I say!" Prince said with a growl. "By two years!" Emily said following her brother. "I said go home! Now!" Prince shouted. "Make me!" Emily said standing her ground. Prince rolled his eyes as he grabbed his sister's doll and threw it as hard as he could. "Hey!" Emily cried as she watched her doll land in their yard. "Now, go home!" Prince said as he shoved his sister to the ground. Emily then started to cry. "Why do you have to be so mean!" Emily said getting up and running home.
"Why do you have to be such a baby!" Prince shouted as his sister ran into the house. Prince shook he's head as he made his way to find Dexter. "Yeah so I threw the baby's doll in the tree," Dexter bragged to his friends. Dexter's friends were laughing until Prince showed up. "Hey!" Prince said with anger. Dexter's friends then ran off as Prince grabbed Dexter and pinned him down in the dirt. "Prince, buddy I was just playing with her sister there's no harm done," Dexter pleaded. Prince twisted Dexter's arm and kept him pinned down. "First, you push my sister and make her cry and then you steal her doll and throw it in a tree!" Prince said with a growl. "Hey! Truth is Prince, I really like her sister so that's why I mess with her," Dexter said nervously. "Like her!" Prince shouted with anger as he twisted Dexters arm some more. "Ow! please Prince I'll stay away from her I promise!" Dexter cried. "You better or else you'll be sorry!" Prince said spitting on Dexter. "Prince Huskin!" Willow shouted to her son. Prince turns and see his mother with Emily standing next to her.
Prince then let's go of Dexter making him run away. "Get over here right now," Willow demanded. Prince rolled his eyes and walked over to his mother. Now back at home Prince was at the family table getting a lecture. "You could have broken that boy's arm!" Willow said disappointed in her son. "He took Emily's doll and threw in a tree!" Prince said, raising his voice. "Don't raise your voice at me young pup," Willow said firmly. "That's when you tell me or your father if someone is picking on your sister," Willow said, crossing her arms. Prince noticed Emily was in the corner watching them. "You just had to tell on me didn't you!" Prince shouted looking at his sister. "I did it cause I love you!" Emily said with tears in her eyes. "Yeah right!" Prince shot back. "Stop it both of you!" Willow said looking at both her children. "Your father will have something to say about this," Willow said, looking at her son. "Your telling dad?!" Prince shouted again. "Stop shouting! And yes I have to tell your father," Willow answered. "Thanks Em, thanks a lot," Prince shouted as he ran past his sister and went to his room.

"Guess that wasn't such a happy memory," Prince said to himself, drinking some more. Prince then took down the picture he was looking at and continued to drink. Prince stood up and made more drinks for himself while turning on some music. Prince turned up the music and dances around his penthouse while drinking a huge bottle of champagne. Prince then trips and falls to the ground breaking the bottle of champagne. "Damn it," Prince said, barely being able to see where the glass was at. "You're a mess," Prince heard a voice. "What? Who's that?" Prince said, trying to see where he was going. "Why would you do this to yourself?" The voice continued. Prince then recognized the voice. "Emily?" Prince said looking around. "Live for me, don't do this to yourself," Emily's voice echoed through Prince's head. "Right… I have nothing, I'm nothing without you," Prince said trying to clean up the glass.
Prince then throws the glass away and then gets a beer from his refrigerator. "Don't do this to Thomas," Emily's voice said. "Leave me alone!" Prince shouted as he took heavy drinks of his beer. "Prince, leave him alone!" Emily's voice shouted.
(Flashback)
Prince, now sixteen years old pins a golden retriever named Ben against the wall. "Prince stop, please," Emily said crying as Prince then kicked Ben down. "Get out of here!" Prince shouted, throwing Ben. Ben takes off down the street leaving Emily and Prince alone together. "Why did you do that! He was just walking me home!" Emily said looking at her brother. "What? And have you sleep with him later?" Prince asked, spitting on the ground. "You're so gross!" Emily said. "Emily! Come back!" Prince said, chasing after his sister. "Why do you have to beat up every boy that talks to me!" Emily said walking into their house. "Because! Boys aren't good I should know I'm one of them," Prince said following his sister. "You know! I want to get married and have kids someday! But how can I get that with you beating up every boy that likes me!" Emily shouted. "Until you find Mr, right all boys are off limits!" Prince shouted.
"I hate you!" Emily shouted as she slammed her door to her room. "Emily! Open the door!" Prince said trying to open his sisters door. "Go away!" Emily said while crying. "Yeah, let it out! Cry like you always do! You'll thank me someday!" Prince said, slamming his hands on his sister's door.
(End of Flashback)
Prince lays on his cold floor and just stares up at the ceiling. "I'm sorry Em, I should have been a better brother," Prince said, still looking up at his ceiling "I shouldn't have stolen all your chances to find love," Prince said with tears in his eyes. "I shouldn't have tried to kill Rad because he got you pregnant," Prince said as his tears started to fall. "I'll make it right kid sister, I promise," Prince said with a chuckle. "This is the last person I want to call but I'll try," Prince said as he pulled out his phone and called through his contacts. Prince puts the phone to his ear and let's the phone ring.
"Boy wonder?... we need to talk… can you fly out to New York? I'll pay for everything…" Prince said slurring his words. "It's about Emily… I don't think.. I don't think I'm okay about it…" Prince said, shutting his eyes and feeling weak. "Okay, I'll get your ticket, see you soon," Prince said before hanging up the phone. Prince then turns over and hugs his bottle of alcohol before heading to sleep on the floor.
Kodiwolf321 A/N: Well this takes place after Prince sees Thomas and as a writer I'm not asking you to forgive him but I think this story will shine some light on his character. Let me know what you think and I'll see you in the next chapter!
