Notes: It should be noted I don't know what the Atlanta Georgia courthouse looks like but this is what most courthouses I've seen look like. Oh and things start to get um weird? I don't want to spoil it.

I was sitting outside of the courthouse on the stone part at the top of the stairs. It was a nice day out and the trial didn't start for another half-hour. Dad had already been ushered in to the courthouse way early this morning. Something really seemed to be bothering him yesterday after I came back from talking to Goldberg but he wouldn't say what it was. If it was about me seeing Goldberg I'm sure he would have said something.

I came with Bret and Athena. They were in the courthouse but I was more interested in watching people. Right now I was watching Linda meet her grandchildren for the first time. It was a nice happy little meeting it looked. Andi and Wes took to her right away and vice versa. I looked at my watch and decided maybe I should go in. I was just about to when I caught sight of someone who definitely shouldn't be there. I jumped off my perch and grabbed him by the shoulder.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded. He looked scared for a moment.

"Let go!" He squirmed.

"Trevor mom is going to kill me if she finds out you are here. What are you doing here?" I repeated. Just what I need right now. My kid brother at the trial. And I know my mother wouldn't be happy.

"Wanted to see the trial. Mom said I couldn't. And dad agreed."

"There's a reason why they don't want you here Trev."

"But you are here!"

"Because it's about my father."

"Please let me stay Danny. I'll sit in the back and won't make a sound. Please?"

I probably should have told him no but I had to get inside. "Come on but if mom asks I didn't see you." Of all the days he wants to come to the trial he picks the one where dad's going to testify.

As I was entering the courtroom Eddy stopped me. Trevor was trying to not be noticed I think. "Danny your dad doesn't want you in here during this."

"Eddy I already know what happened."

"Kid you don't know the whole story. He said he'd tell all of you later. Just go home. Take your brother back to school and go home. I called your mother." Damn he saw Trevor.

"Eddy..."

"Damn it Danny would you leave already?" I was gone. Not dealing with this again.

I practically had to drag Trevor out the door. He kept protesting the whole way out of the courthouse. I tried to ignore him. I was thinking about what bus would get us to his school the fastest when someone yelled "Hey Danny!" just as I was about to step off the curb. I turned around it was a stupid reporter.

"No comment." Which had become my standard reply now and days. I heard a loud thump and screeching of tires. I was surprised when I saw Trevor wasn't next to me. I just stood there stunned.

After the shock wore off I tried to see what was going on. But everyone was standing in my way. I pushed through and Uncle Eddy turned to look at me. "Danny stay back!" I refused to move. I couldn't take my eyes off what was in front of me. Eddy looked at someone behind me. "Damn it get him out of here!"

Someone pulled me away. "Let me go! I want to see Trevor!" I struggled to get loose. He just held me tighter. Oh God let Trevor still be alive. I thought closing my eyes. I suddenly felt four years old again.

"He'll be okay." Uncle Dean said quietly.

Flashbulbs were going off like crazy. Uncle Dean and Uncle Eddy must have been watching from the courthouse. Then a thought struck me.

If that reporter hadn't stopped me, that would be me.

The ambulance had let me ride with Trevor. It looked like his leg was broken I couldn't really tell. The medic kept telling Trevor he was going to be fine. Maybe they are supposed to say that. We were at the same hospital that I went to when I was attacked.

I was sitting in the waiting room when my mother came. She hadn't seen me as she started talking to the nurse at the emergency room desk. The nurse pointed in my direction.

Mom walked up to me. "What happened?" She asked sitting down next to me. She was shaking which I guess was understandable since she just found out her son was hit by a car.

"I was about to walk Trevor back to school. A reporter stopped me. When I turned back around people were surrounding Trevor. A car had hit him. Uncle Eddy and Uncle Dean wouldn't let me near him. And I haven't heard anything since we got to the hospital."

"I told him not to go to the court house but he didn't listen to me." Mom said standing up and started to pace. "Why doesn't anyone listen to me?" That's a question I bet mom's been asking herself for a while now.

"Trevor George?" A voice said. We looked up to see a female doctor walking standing there.

"I'm Nancy George his mother. How is he?"

"He broke his leg and has a slight concussion but he'll be fine. We'd like to keep him for observation a few days though."

"Can we see him?" Mom asked.

"Sure. He's in room 925." She walked away.

I followed mom to the elevator. She started talking when we were in it. "I'm going to go in first. Why don't you call Jason and tell him how your brother is. He couldn't get off of work."

I dialed Jason's number but he was in a meeting. I left a message with his secretary and went back to the hospital room. I stood there watching mom and Trevor talk. Why did today have to go so wrong?
