Casey helped Matt to the car, feeling bad for him. He knew what a great guy Luke was, and now he was gone. Casey drove Matt to his apartment, hoping things would get better for him.

Matt held his breath when they got to the front door.

"I don't know if I can go in there without Luke."

"Yes, you can," Casey told him as he rubbed Matt's shoulder. "Be strong, Matt. You can do this."

Matt wiped the tears from his face and opened the door. He saw the wedding gifts all over the room and swallowed hard.

"You want to make you something to eat?" Casey asked him as he helped Matt toward the couch. "You should lie down until Dillon gets here with the kids."

"I'm not hungry," Matt said monotonously, taking a seat on the couch. He noticed the blanket there and held it to his chest, smelling Luke's cologne on it.

Casey found one of Luke's sweatshirts on the chair.

"I can't believe he still has this," Casey said. "I loaned it to him in high school. It was getting cold out, and he left his jacket at home, so I let his have the shirt off my back so he wouldn't get sick."

"You were important to him," Matt agreed.

"We were like brothers," Casey told him. "I loved him like a little brother, Matt. How come I couldn't save him?"

"None of us could," Matt told him.

He heard Dillon with the kids outside the door and held his breath.

Dillon carried BJ to the door as Cody and Kaden followed him. He unlocked the door and let the boys in.

"We're here," Dillon said softly as he held BJ in his arms.

Matt stood up and went to hug Kaden.

"Hey, kiddo, how are you doing?"

"Where's Daddy?" Kaden asked right away. "Is he sick again?"

Casey watched, feeling bad for the kids. He saw BJ in Dillon's arms.

"She's cute," Casey told him.

"Yeah," Dillon agreed. "She looks just like her father."

Dillon could see Lucas in her features. He missed Lucas so much.

"Kaden, can you go get your sister's blanket?" Matt asked, "I need to talk to Uncle Dillon for a minute."

Casey looked at Cody. "Hey, kid, you look like you like ice cream. I saw an ice cream shop down on the corner, let's get a scoop while your dad talks to Kaden."

Casey took Cody out as Dillon looked at Matt.

"I'm so sorry," Dillon told him.

"Of course," Dillon told him as he looked at his brother. "I know what you're going through, Matt. I felt the same way when I lost Lucas. It's hard losing the one person you loved more than life itself."

"I... I think I'm going to ask Casey to stay here and help me with the kids. Do you think you could too?" Matt asked.

"You know I will," Dillon said as he looked at Matt. "I'm not leaving you when you need me the most. Matt, why don't you, Casey, and kids move in with me? I... I still have the house that Brandon and I were going to live in together before we..."

Dillon had put a down payment on a house a few days before the breakup, and it was still sitting there, empty, now fully paid off.

"Are you sure? I mean, won't it hurt to be there?" Matt asked him.

"A little," Dillon told him as he held onto Hope. "But you need this a hell of a lot more than I do, bro. I know that when Lucas died, I couldn't be in the same dorm we shared anymore, not without breaking down and crying every time I stepped through the door."

He took Matt's hand. "You need to think about the kids. The house has a huge yard, and there's an exercise room for the adults."

"I just want to feel whole again, but I don't think I ever will," Matt told him, his mouth quivering.

"You will," Dillon told him. "Brandon, and Abby, they helped fill that hole in my heart. You'll find that person, too."

"And you know when it hurts the most?" Dillon asked as he held Hope. "When I'm alone."
