PERCIE
“You’re not the worst person or the worst brother, Percie. You survived that accident for a reason. It’s for you to find out what are those reasons—your purpose in life. She would be devastated, and it would break her heart too if you got the injury instead of her. Do you wanna see her in your position? How would you feel seeing her struggling and blaming herself for what had happened to you? Do you think she can survive the way you did after being disowned by your parents? You’re stronger than you think you are. Give yourself extra credit. That’s one of the reasons why you survived. You wouldn’t and never give up on her. That’s another reason. You survived for her. I think that’s enough for Emma.”
I couldn’t begin to imagine Emma struggling to survive when she was in my situation. Would my parents disown her too? She had somewhere to go to—her old family. But Emma loved me so much. If I was the one who got the kidney problem? What if they both failed to function?
My stomach dropped. My heart was just crushed.
Emma would be willing to die for me.
I wiped the tears rolling down my face. I had not thought that far than wishing of going back to that moment. I knew Emma. No matter how positive a person she was, she would blame herself for what happened. She would be willing to give up herself to save me. She was so kindhearted and loving and would give up everything for me in a heartbeat.
I felt Hailey’s hand squeezing mine. I sniffed. I couldn’t even face her. I felt weak, ashamed, and guilty at the same time.
“I burned down our house.”
She gasped.

I made sure that my parents were not there, though. I didn’t even know why I didn’t consider them dying in the fire. I think I still have humanity left deep down in me. Or
