So sorry for taking so long! Thanks for your reviews.

Here's chapter 14:

Enjoy.

Kevin tapped his thumbs against the steering wheel as he drove down the empty rode. His eyes staying straight ahead, his mind running everywhere.

He didn't think that the car would go any faster than it already was. He wished it would. It wouldn't ever be fast enough to get him to his brother's that moment. His looked at the clock and sighed. It had been nearly 45 minutes since the phone call with Nick ended.

45 minutes since he heard his little brother's voice.

45 minutes since he knew that they were alright-ish.

45 minutes since he told them that he was going to save them.

He knew that he should be their soon. Nick told him it took about an hour.

He couldn't get Nick's voice out of his head, "He's not good Kevin." Over and over again, he heard Nick telling him that Joe was hurt bad. He wanted to get their, to see for himself. He didn't want to believe that he was hurt, but he had seen the tape, their was no way he could not be hurt.

Deciding that letting his mind wander wasn't helping anything, he put every bit of energy into focusing on the road, and thinking of the best way to kick Cane's ass for hurting his family.

Nick sat on his knees beside the chair that Joe was sitting in, staring at his older brother. He couldn't believe how pale he looked, how broken he looked. He wanted to say something but had no idea what to say.

To his relief, the coughs that Joe expierienced hadn't come since he took the phone from Nick.

His legs beginning to fall asleep, Nick shifted his weight till he was leaning against Joe's chair, his head on Joe's arm.

Joe took comfort in having his brother close to him. He slowly lifted the arm that wasn't acting as Nick's pillow, and gently ran his hand threw the curly hair of the 15 year old.

Nick shot his head up and Joe withdrew his hand when a ringing noise came from across the room. Nick recognized it as Joe's cell phone. Niether brother was surprised when Cane swung his door open to see what the noise was.

"What the hell?"

Cane walked over to the table the phone was on and picked it up. He hit a button and immediatly the noise was gone. The room silent once more.

"Huh? I guess they don't realize your all tied up Joe," Cane laughed as he sat the phone back down. He turned his attention to Nick, who swallowed.

"What about you? You got a phone?"

Not thinking straight, Nick nodded his head. He saw Joe look at him from the corner of his eye.

"You better not have called anyone! Give it to me."

Nick didn't know what to do. Joe had the phone now, but he wasnt about to say that. He wasn't gonna risk Joe getting punished for it.

"Hand it over now kid!"

"I didn't bring it," Nick said firmly.

"Sure ya didn't," Cane walked over to him and grabbed him by his shirt collar. "Now give me your phone."

"Here," Nick turned his head, eyes wide to see Joe extending his arm, cell phone in the palm of his hand. "I wanted to play tetris." Joe held Cane's glare as he let go of Nick.

Nick continued to stare at his brother in disbelief. Tetris? That was seriously his excuse for having a cell phone? Sometimes Nick thought that Joe's sense of humor was to much.

"You think this is funny?" Cane asked Joe seriously.

"Am I laughing?" Joe replied just as sternly. "And I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't touch my little brother again."

Nick flinched as he heard the loud thud, of Cane's fist connecting with Joe's face.

Joe clenched his eyes shut against the pain for a moment, then spit the blood from his mouth. He turned and glared back at Cane again.

"You think you can protect him from me?"

Nick hated the way this conversation was going. Things just kept getting worse.

"I can sure as hell try," Joe said back to him.

"Your gonna learn real soon that your mistaken."

Nick didn't expect the hand that smashed into the side of his face. It caught him off gaurd, and right on the temple. He fell to the floor, vision blurring slightly. His shook his head, trying to get it clear. He looked up and his eyes went wide with fear as he saw Cane's boot on it's way to his stomach.

He tightened his abs, doing anything to protect him from the oncoming pain, but it didn't come.

The second Cane pulled back his foot, Joe jumped from the chair and tackled Cane to the ground. Already weak, Joe was no match for Cane, but that didn't mean he wouldn't try.

Nick quickly realized what was happening and went to help his brother. He kicked at Cane, landing a couple every now and then. He was suddenly shoved away, and pushed to the floor.

"Don't you touch my dad you little," Blake yelled in his face as he pulled back his fist. All air left his lungs as the blow came. All he could hear though was Joe, grunting in pain. When he looked at him though he saw that he was still fighting. Firm hands held Nick in place as he sturggled to get to Joe. Nick tried to pull away from Blake, but couldn't.

As Blake's hand went to his throat, Nick heard the voice that made his heart swell.

"Get the hell away from my little brothers!"

Kevin.

Once again, I'm so sorry for taking a long time. I wont take that long with the next chapter, I promise.

So tell me what you think please.
