A/N: I edited Chapter 4 but there aren't any major changes if you don't want to read it.

Chapter 5: I'll Die For You

"I'm looking for Mary Camden's room."

"Over that way, second door on the left."

"Thanks."

Matt walked up to the door of Mary's room and paused at the doorway. She looked terrible. Her leg was in a cast and propped up. A beeping machine and an IV were hooked up to her. Nasty scratches went down her left arm.

"Oh Mary," he murmured, "My poor Mary."

Was this all his fault?

"Oh my God, Matt!"

'Good old Lucy', he thought sarcastically. Now he had to get out of answering his "loving" family's questions.

"I need to take a walk" he said quickly. Unfortunately, Simon offered to go with him. They walked down the hallway until Simon spun around to face Matt.

"Why'd you run away?"

How could he ask that? He kissed Mary! Well, Simon didn't know that but still.

"I needed my space. I needed to start a new life" Matt tried to say calmly.

Wasn't that what Mary told him?

"Ok, did Mary know that?"

Matt was startled, "What?"

"Look, I know there's something going on between you two."

'I wish' he thought. "How'd you come up with that?"

"The night she came back, Ruthie heard her talking to you, and Mary didn't come back till the morning. Lucy said she was depressed and lying around. At dinner she didn't talk at all, and she looked so scared when you talked to her. That night, I heard her scream and the next morning you had run away."

Matt snorted. "It sounds like you're in love with her."

"I care about her like a sister." Simon scowled.

'Too bad we can't trade places' Matt sadly thought.

He sighed, "You're a pervert, you know that? Let's go back to Mary's room."

He almost wanted to confide in Simon, but how could he risk the whole family finding out?

The boys made their way to Mary's room as the family was just leaving.

"Do you guys mind if I stay another minute?" Matt asked. They hesitantly agreed.

After they left, he stood over Mary's bed and stared at her. Did she try to kill herself? Why would she do that? 'Unless, maybe, she feels the same way...' It made a lot of sense, but Matt was only starting to believe that. But if she did love him, she must think he hates her.

If Mary died, she dies never knowing Matt returned her feelings.

"Don't leave me" he whispered.

Lucy sighed. "Are you telling me that Matt and Mary, our siblings, are in love with each other?"

"Yes."

"Simon, you're really twisted."

"It's true!"

Lucy frowned. "It does explain a lot, but them together, it's disgusting!"

Ruthie walked in, "Who together is disgusting?"

Simon and Lucy looked at each other. She was too young to know what was going on.

"Ruthie, go help Mom."

"Why?"

"Just go!"

Ruthie scowled and went downstairs.

"You don't think we should have told her, do you?"

"No way, she wouldn't understand it, I don't understand it!" Lucy replied. "What are we going to do about this?"

"We're going to get them together."

Her mouth dropped, "W-What?"

"We have to," Simon said firmly. "Otherwise, they'll die for each other."
