Disclaimers: If I owned them Michael wouldn’t have missed when he tried to
use his powers on Courtney, but obviously I don’t own them.

Spoilers: Everything up to and End of The World
Authors note: This probably really sucks, I just saw End of The World last
night and right after it I started to work on this cause
this was one of my absolute favorite parts.
Feed back: PLEASE! @@@@@!
Family is a strange concept. What makes you family, blood or love? Perhaps
both, but I know one thing for certain whether Maria is blood or not doesn’t
determine how I feel about her.
She’s not just a girl, nor is she just a friend. She never was and never
will be, at least not to me.
She’s my sister. I love her, and I put her before me in all things. I made a
promise to myself that I would always be there for her, always.
She doesn’t have a dad like Liz to tell her that he’d protect her. She
doesn’t have the over protective fathers Liz and Isabel have. She has Mr.
Parker and me, but I highly doubt Mr. Parker would have punched Michael
Guerin in the jaw.
He has at least 30 pounds on me and could kill me with a thought, but I
don’t regret it, at all. Some probably think I didn’t think it through
enough cause if I did I wouldn’t have done it.
They’re wrong. I had thought it through. I had thought about it since the
day I found out Michael had hurt Maria the first time. I promised my self
then that I would never let him hurt her.
I made exceptions. When he killed Pierce, I let it pass because he was
scared, and I could be there for her then. I let him off the hook because he
wasn’t cheating on her. He was just scared and I knew eventually that the
fear would pass and he would probably return to her like always.
When it did pass Courtney showed up. I knew there was tension between Maria
and her because of Michael. I thought Michael had no interest in Courtney
after all his original reason for leaving Maria was that he had loved her
too much.
I guess he didn’t love her enough not to cheat on her.
That is where I draw the line. To me it’s one thing when you leave cause
you’re trying to protect the one you love and you’re trying to figure
everything out for yourself. I can understand that.
But when you cheat on one of my sisters… There is no turning back when that
happens, not for me.
I love Maria and Liz with all my heart. I would do anything for them,
anything at all. Yes, I knew Michael could have killed me. Yes, I knew it
was a possibility I would come out of his apartment not on my own to feet,
but by him throwing me, but that didn’t really matter. And it probably never
will. Not when they’re involved.
My hand still hurts like hell. It was so smooth of me to hit his jawbone,
really it was, but Maria is well worth the pain. She’s worth much, much more
to me.
I would die for her in a heartbeat. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for
her or Liz for that matter.
He told me I really was a good friend, and I told him if he said that to me
again I was really going to kick his ass. If he did say it again I really
would have. I might not have succeeded, but I would have tried. I would have
tried until he beat me so bad I couldn’t move.
I don’t care if the next one that hurts her is twelve feet tall and carrying
a shotgun. I will go after him any way that I can. There aren’t any second
thoughts about it.
I remember back in fourth grade, when we meet. She was more violent than I
was. She still is most of the time. I never had to protect her really; she
did that. Not only for herself but for me as well.
Michael’s right, I am a really good friend, but above that I’m a really good
brother.
The End
