Dedication: To the one we have loved and lost…may your ship sail on forever

As Eric faded in and out of consciousness at Metropolis General, Jimmy and his parents were sitting in the room with him while his own parents were talking to the police. Being the person that he was Jimmy couldn't help but listen to what Roger was telling the police at the hospital.

"You know…that boy, he's just a klutzy teenager he falls all the time, most be low blood sugar" Roger was saying

Eric was sleeping once again and Jimmy couldn't help but shake his head when he heard what Roger was telling the cops about Eric. He knew it was a lie and nothing more than that, but he knew that his parents wouldn't want him making a bigger scene.

"Son, are you okay" asked Kyle who was sitting next to him

"No, I'm not okay….my brother was lying there practically bleeding to death and all you could do was to stand there" said Jimmy almost crying

"Son, what could we do? This isn't our business" Kyle said

"It is your business, its all of our business" said Jimmy getting up and walking out the door

Jimmy paced back and forced down the hallway of the hospital, he hated hospitals they were always cold and they were always full of anger or at least this one seemed to be. Jimmy noticed that Roger and Rebecca were still talking to the police when he walked over.

"Officer, this is Eric's…friend Jimmy, it happened at his house" said Roger quickly

"Hi Jimmy" said the officer reaching out the shake his hand

"Hello" said Jimmy tentatively returning the handshake

"You know, you and Eric look a lot alike…that's interesting" he said

"We get that a lot" said Jimmy quickly

After a few moments of silence Jimmy walked back into Eric's room and found it empty. Eric was conscious again and seemed a lot better than he had previously been.

"Jimmy, you're still here?" asked Eric from his bed

"Yup…of course" he said sitting on the edge of his bed

"He did it…didn't he?" asked Eric looking Jimmy in the eye

Before Jimmy could answer his parents and the Summers' came back into the room and one family looked happy to see Eric awake and the other one not so much.

"Eric, good to see you awake again. I was worried" Julie said smiling at him

"Thanks Mrs. Olsen" he said smiling

Clearly better with just a bruises and cuts Eric was allowed to be released from the hospital later that afternoon. Roger and Rebecca wanted to get home as quickly as they could but the Olsen's insisted that Eric stay the night and they would take him home the next day. When everything was cleared everyone went on their way…

"Thank you…for everything" Eric said getting in the car

"No problem, I just thought that you could a need a quiet night" said Julie from the passenger seat

"Eric….if you need help with anything you know where to find us. I'll give you the number of a couple of my contacts that deal with this kind of thing" said Kyle when they stopped at the stop sign

"Okay…thank you" he said again

Jimmy who sat in the backseat with Eric continued to look out the window he couldn't believe that he was the one complaining about his life when Eric clearly had it worse than he did. They reached the house and went inside after unlocking the door, Eric was happy to be going back into their house instead of his own in Smallville.

"I like your family pictures better than ours" said Eric looking at the pictures in the living room

"Yeah, well there are a lot that these pictures don't show" said Jimmy

"I bet" said Eric looking at what seemed to be a perfect family life

Following a family dinner, Eric and Jimmy went upstairs to the attic to look at the information about their past that he had found previously. Jimmy gave Eric the copies of the information that he had made so that he could his pieces with what they had found. Coming down from the attic, Eric and Jimmy talked about what it would have been like if they had grownup together instead of apart all these years.

"Good night" said Jimmy to Eric from his bed well after midnight

"Night" Eric said smiling as he looked up at him from the floor

The Next Morning

"No way… it just burst into flames?" said Eric looking surprised

"Really! It did…a couple days after we moved here" said Jimmy starting down the stairs

"I thought only Smallville had random stuff happen like that" said Eric

"Well something has to be our claim to fame and Queen Industries burning down was what they needed, it was news for weeks" said Jimmy walking into the kitchen

After breakfast, Eric reluctantly returned to Smallville with the

Smallville High School-That Monday

"I'm a klutz…I was carrying something and I tripped and fell" said Eric

"Just making sure you're okay" Clark said taking seat

"No need to play hero Clark…I'm fine" Eric said

Eric shook his head as the teacher walked into the classroom, he hoped that Chloe had stopped investigating his life….there was too much for them and him to find out. Eric hated that his class of the day was taught by his father and had to address him as "Mr. Summers" he wished everyday that the class would end quickly but it never did. He was beyond happy when the school day was finally over and he was able to go home...back to his books and to look through the information that Jimmy had given him. Flipping through the information and envelope dropped out, curious Eric opened it and what fell out was all the half started and most complete letters that Jimmy had written to his brother.

Eric's Grandmother's House

Jessica Summers was sitting on her recliner chair in the living room staring at a blank TV screen, she noticed that her favorite picture of Eric had tipped from the wind that had blown in. She got up from her chair and fixed the picture to her liking and was about to sit back down when a large thud had caught her attention. She made her way into the kitchen to investigate what the sound was…she looked out the window and noticed that they was nothing unusual out there so she started heading back into the living room when a single gunshot hit her in the heart and killed her instantly. As Roger ran out of the house he couldn't help but wonder what Eric was going to now that his grandmother was dead….he knew that they would catch up they always suspect the family first especially the children.
