Quinn's pov

Brennen stepped closer

"Why can't we just talk this over like two civilized human beings?!"

He violently pushed me and I fell against the wall

"Brennen let's just talk okay?"

"No it's not okay," he replied

He threw a quick left hook and it hit my nose. I brought my finger up to my nose and felt the blood drip.

"Brennen we can talk okay? Why? Okay why would you want to get into something illegal?"

"Because it's what the Taylor's are supposed to do Quinn,"

"Well why can't we grow past that?" I ducked as be threw another punch. His fist landed in the wall trapping his hand there for a moment. I used the opportunity to slip out from against the wall. He ripped out his fist and turned around.

"Quinn the company has been in our name for ages," he spat

"Why can't we just take over moms painting company?" I suggested nervously still backing away from him every time he stepped closer

He laughed "Quinn, you don't get it do you?"

"Why can't we just," he punched stomach over the bruise that Macey had left not to long ago

I tumbled over and hit the floor with a thud. He kicked my back with this shoes on. Before he could kick me again I stood up. He walked closer and I froze. I threw a punch at him and I hit him square in the jaw. He stepped back, grabbed his jaw Angie a moment and looked at me. He slapped my face and the grabbed my hair. He grabbed me and picked me up because of my light weight. He threw me into his coffee table and when I landed the glass shattered around me scraping and cutting at my skin.

Brennen came closer and before he had time to react I threw one of the glass shards at him. It hit his face and left a cut on his right cheek.

The door swung open

"What the hell is going on?!"

We both looked at who was there. Colby.

"Quinn?" He looked at me before rising. To me

"What happened?!"

"A fight," I replied

He looked at Brennen before me

"Come on We're leaving right now. You can explain to me what happened later,"

I nodded as he picked me up and we went back to the house.

***

Colby didn't let me walk at all. He set me down on his bed and then without touching me, studied my damages. I'm pretty sure that my nose was messed up. Brennen threw a hard punch at me. I had glass cuts everywhere and more than likely still had glass pieces in my cuts. I had a few bruises and I felt so nauseous.

Colby got up and went to the bathroom I assume because when he came back he had a few bandaids and tweezers.

He picked out the tiny pieces and then put on the bandaids that I told him I could put on myself. He wouldn't let me. When he left to it grab my a bottle of water I took this opportunity change. I took of the tee shirt I was currently wearing and kept it off. I swapped my leggings for a pair of shorts.

Colby came back in and scolded me for getting up. I ignored him and laid down. He came over and laid down next to me.

"You want to explain to me what happened?"

I sighed

"Brennen is my twin," I said blankly

Colby paused

"I'm dating my best friend's twin?"

"Yeah,"

"How come you didn't know about this sooner?"

"My dad pushed my down the stairs giving me head trauma. I forgot about Brennen and I was raised to believe I was an only child

"Oh,"

"And then Brennen was fighting with me because I got the family company shut down,"

"Oh.."

"Yeah," I sighed

We laid there in a silence that wasn't comfortable.. but it wasn't uncomfortable. If was just... Silence.
