You know had you told Gilbert when he was fourteen that he would hate his father and want nothing to do with him, then he would have laughed called you a idiot and then leave. But now at the age of twenty he sung a different tune. Thank to how his father blamed his little brother his joiner of ten years for their mother's death.

The abuse his father inflected upon the boy who had come out of the car accident no longer being able to speak, so he couldn't even tell anyone of what was happening to him? If anything it made the at the time teen want to take his brother away and shelter him from the abuse. But at fifthteen he was much to young and even if he ran off with his brother someone would force them back. And even if he did he wouldn't be able to help his brother living on the streets.

So at sixteen he begin working spending most of his time at school and then working where he would bring along Ludwig so he could keep the abuse his father inflected on him to a minimum. But even that was enough when ever his brother and father were in the same room the man would kick and punch him and then he would go run into the room and try and get his brother away maybe taking a blow or two himself not that he minded that.

He thought maybe this was how his life was going to be for the rest of his life working just to save up money to do anything to help his baby brother live a happy life and as much as he knew he should hate it, he couldn't find it in him to hat his little brother and so he was resigned to work a minimum wage job for the rest of his life just to scrap by, though it seems life decide to give him a fateful encounter that would change his life.

He had been working for six months for his job though honestly it felt like years, and it was summer brake making it harder to his brother amused since he worked after all eight hours was a long time for a six year old. Despite this he had tried to keep him entertain while he worked.

While this was going on he had just ran back to the front having just changed the change and gave Ludwig a small snack. And he almost fell on his face noticing a rather pretty girl at the contour and honestly he felt like maybe he was looking at a angel from how it seemed the light framed her. Chocolate color hair that looked soft and silky with eyes he's never seen before that reminded him of the purple of a sunset. And a part of her skin looked so soft and as pail as the inside or almond.

Honestly she had been stunding he then made himself look like a idoit as he some how managed to stumble on his words but tell her how pretty she looked to him. Which some how had only made her laugh and back a bit of a jab at him which he responded to, she would then make a stab back and then him back and forth they would change words and he had lost track of time as they continue to talk when his brother return to the front and was asking for help to reach the toilet.

Honestly it was embearsing but the girl he was talking to didn't seem to mind as she say she wouldn't mind waiting for him to comeback out. So he ran lifted his brother like a football and ran into the back to help him on the toilet, all the while hoping the girl (who had realized he hadn't asked for her name) didn't leave.

Which worried him more and once Ludwig was off the toliet cleaned and had his hands washed did he dart back out to see her looking over some of the instruments. And he was rather relived to see she was still in the store. He was glad she was and he begin chatting with her again honestly he may have spent more time talking with her then manning the store. And he didn't mind it and before she left she gave him her phone number and a promise she would return as soon as possible.

And boy she did in the next three months she had come almost every day the both of the talking about what ever they wanted to and some bad flirting on Gilbert's part didn't even seem to scary her off as just founded it 'cute' and would make him blush with some of her own comments and complaints. Ludwig even seemed to like her as she seemed to understand sigh language which honestly he was suprised and happy about, since she could spend time with him when he couldn't.

And for once he wasn't the only one smiling his brother seemed happier and even though school had just started he decide to ask Anneliese (he did manage to ask after about a few days) if she wanted to go on a date with him. And thankfully she had said yes and the both of them planed to go when he had his next day off from both school and work which was on a Sunday.

He hadn't wanted to leave his brother alone nor bring his brother on a date with him, so he asked for a friend to baby sister his brother while he went on a date with her. And though he didn't spend a lot just a simple movie and the walk in the park he had fun. And when she kissed him he had to guess she had fun as well.

And so being his romance like with his pretty brunette. Both him and Ludwig were happy to know her and the blond even came on a few dates with them. Though the ones he didn't were a bit more intimate and romantic. A year into them them dating was the best since he had got to taste his girlfriend's flesh and see her in a way he knew no other person has seen her, for the both of them being each other's first it had made it much more romantic.

And honestly he couldn't have asked for anything better. Though it it seemed he might have been having to much a happy time cause a week later he was reminded just how bad it could get when his father decide to hurt his brother badly and he didn't do to well either after trying to help him. Honestly how he managed to get them to the hospital he couldn't remember. But when he woke up with Anneliese sleeping with her head on his chest and dry tears staining he cheek her hair ruffled and he knew she would wake up rather stiff when she woke up, and he could only blame himself.

When she did wake up he had to try and calm her down the best he could and then he came clean as to why and how they ended up in the hospital in which he could tell she had become horrified that his father could hurt both him and his baby brother.

She then kissed him deeply and asked him to wait as she left the room, he had not know what she was doing but oh boy had he been suprised when a few hours later she return with a man in a suit behind her who he found out was a lawyer who spoke to him about his life and if he would be the one to take care of his brother

It wasn't much of a choice and he agreed and to be his brother garden and leave his home , though he had no where to go now at this moment he found out just why Anneliese enter his store that day. Apparently she was the daughter of a wealthy man who own many business and the place he worked at was her first business and he now knew why his manger would freak out when ever she was around.

After the lawyer left he asked her to come close and he peaked her lips and thanks her. And he couldn't help but enjoy the pink of her cheeks as she stood back up and asked if he wanted her to check on his brother in which he agreed to and watch her dart out of the room.

Honestly it had made him happy that he found her and that maybe this would be the change in his life. And he was right after everything was squired away he took control of Ludwig and thanks to Anneliese he had a nice house where he shared a room with his girlfriend, he'll been honest he was suprised she wanted to live with him and Ludwig but honestly he didn't mind it that much.

Even now while he lay in his bed with anneliese's head on his chest while she snuggled close to him with a ring on her finger and her last name matching his own. His new born sleeping soundly in a crib and his baby brother sleeping in his own room with his friends from school he felt happiness. And honestly he wouldn't have it any other way.
