Justin was getting his books out of his locker when he felt someone behind him. He sighed and turned around knowing who it was. “What’s up?” “I know,” Hayden told him. “Know what?” Justin asked. “What that bastard did to you. He broke your heart to pieces, didn’t he?” Hayden watched Justin’s expression and knew that the blond didn’t want anyone to know. “Come with me.” Justin closed his locker and followed Hayden. He knew that Hayden had a plan, a horrible plan that he was going to be part of. He wanted it to be over. He wanted to be in Brian’s arms again. He entered the classroom behind Hayden and sat down on the desk. He looked at Hayden who was just staring at the floor. Justin’s mind wandered off. “I have the perfect plan,” Brian said to Justin. “I don’t like any of them so far, Brian.” Justin shrugged. He didn’t think they would work. Brian sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Maybe your brain dried up. You used to come up with really good things. Like that thing with Mr. Rogers,” Justin smiled as he nodded. Brian frowned and shook his head. “That was Chris’s idea.” “Oh. Well, how about burning my locker?” Justin asked with an arched brow. “Chris again,” Brian muttered. “Mmm,” Justin licked his lips. “Tripping me into the floor?” “That was me,” Brian said smiling. “Asshole,” Justin shook his head as he rolled his eyes. Brian frowned and grabbed Justin by the waist. “Sorry?” Justin smiled and nodded. He kissed Brian on the cheek and then moved to the brunet’s lips. “You are so hot,” He licked his man’s lips. “Could you two stop that?” Chris asked, coming into Brian’s room. Justin groaned and moved away from the brunet. He sat down in the bed and waited to hear what Chris was doing there. “What’s up?” Brian asked. Chris asked a brow. “Do I have to answer that question right now?” Justin laughed at Chris’s remark. Brian used his tongue in cheek expression and waited. Chris smiled and turned to look at Justin. “Do you know how you said that Hayden suspected that something was going on between you and Brian?” Chris asked but didn’t let Justin answer. “I suggested something to Tracy and she said she would help me.” “What did you tell her?” Brian was alert immediately. “Relax,” Chris smirked. “She’s just going to tell Anna about this one time someone put a camera in her cousin’s room. The power of suggestion my friend.” Justin pouted not understanding what Chris had done. Brian smirked and nodded. “What?” Justin asked. “Anna is going to tell Hayden about it,” Chris smiled from ear to ear. “He will get the idea in his head.” “And he is going to do it to me to see if Brian and I are together,” Justin whispered. “Ugh. He’s going to see me naked.” Brian rolled his eyes. “I have an idea.” Justin sighed and hoped he liked this one better. “What is it?” “We can have a huge fight and break up,” Brian told him. “But why would you fight?” Chris asked. Justin shrugged. “I caught you fucking someone else,” Brian told him. “Sounds good,” Chris told him. “As much as I love you, I won’t do it,” Justin told them. “It could be all made believe. I could get there before anything happens. Call Shawn over and kiss him and I’ll interrupt you guys,” Brian told him. “But don’t tell him anything of what we are doing.” Justin sighed as he heard Brian and Chris discussing the details. “Are you guys sure this is going to work?” “Yes,” Brian said. “My brother turned him down and it drove him mad. He would see you as the victim in all this.” “Are you sure you want to do this?” Chris looked at Brian and Justin. Justin smiled and Brian and kissed him. “I do.” “I’m going to make him pay, Justin.” Hayden’s voice snapped Justin’s back into the present. Their plan had worked and now Hayden was making his own. Justin just nodded, waiting to hear all that the blond was going to tell him. “We can do it really painful.” Hayden smiled wickedly. “Killing all of his friends.” “We have friends in common. I don’t think so. Plus I just want to hurt Brian and no else.” Justin really didn’t want to hurt anyone. Hayden frowned and then nodded. “Okay. I can live with that.” “Well, good,” Justin was sure that Hayden was fucking sick. He just hoped that they could get him to admit all he had done. “What do you want to do?” “I’m going to kill him, Justin.” Hayden looked at Justin’s reaction. The blond was surprised but Hayden didn’t care. “What?” Justin asked really slowly. That was the last thing he had expected to hear but when he thought about it, not really. Not when it was Hayden saying the words. “For what he did to you. And what he has done to me.” Hayden waited for Justin to say something. Justin got up from the desk and nodded. “I’ll help you.” Hayden smiled sweetly and Justin was starting to see Hayden for what he really was. Just evil. *** “So, all we do is wait?” Chris asked as Brian paced in front of him. Brian nodded. He was worried that something would go wrong. “Can you relax? Everything is going to be okay. We are going to make him confess. It will be okay,” Chris assured him. “I’m not so sure. I have a bad feeling,” Brian told him while he moved his jaw around making a weird popping sound. “Stop that. It’s disgusting,” Chris didn’t like hearing the sound that was coming out of Brian’s jawbone. Brian rolled his eyes and grabbed his box of cigarettes. “Can I have one? You are affecting my nerves” Chris was trying to make Brian smile, but it was hopeless. “Here” Brian gave the box to Chris and walked away with his cigarette. He walked away to think about what he was feeling. He missed his brother and he was going to make Hayden pay. He would take his revenge. He just didn’t want anything bad happening to Chris and definitely not Justin. *** Justin licked his lips as he watched Hayden rocking in the bed with his eyes closed. “I have an idea.” Hayden’s eyes popped open and he stared at Justin. “I thought that we could make Brian come to us by kidnapping one of his friends,” Justin hoped that Hayden liked what he was saying. “I like it,” Hayden got up from the bed and crawled to where Justin was. “I like you.” Justin’s breath hitched. Hayden smiled and kissed him. He let his hands roam freely. Justin’s heart was beating really hard. He couldn’t take it. He pushed the blond away from him and got up. “What?” Hayden asked. “Don’t you like me?” Justin felt his skin running cold. He was disgusted to say the least. “I do. It’s just…with what happened to me. I’m just a little bit scared. I came out of a relationship that turned violent. I’m sorry, is not you. It’s me.” Hayden’s eyes showed nothing but hatred. “I’m going to kill him, Justin. For you. He is a fucking asshole.” Justin took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He sat back on the floor and put his hand over Hayden’s. “Let’s just finish planning this. The sooner is done, the better I will feel.” “Michael,” Hayden interlaced his hand with Justin’s. “We’ll take Michael with us and Brian won’t have another option but to follow us.” “Michael?” Justin asked, taken aback. “Wait a minute. He had nothing to do with this.” “I know that, Justin,” Hayden sat down on the floor in front of the blond. “Then why bring him into this?” Justin asked, worried of what would happen. He didn’t like Hayden’s plan at all. “I think we should take Chris. You know how much I hate him.” Hayden shook his head. “Michael and that’s final.” Justin swallowed and nodded. The plan was to bring Chris into the whole mix, not Michael. Things already were turning to be not what they had planned. “Fine.” “What are you guys doing?” Shawn asked from the door. He saw that Hayden and Justin were holding hands and he frowned. There was something wrong. “Get away,” Hayden yelled at him. “Get out of my room. “I’m not inside your room,” Shawn pointed out. He looked at Justin with a questioning face but the blond just looked away. “What are you guys doing?” “Get the fuck out!” Hayden hissed, getting up. Justin kept staring at the floor. He still felt weird about what had happened with Shawn. Shawn frowned and nodded. He walked away but it wasn’t over. He was going to find out what they were doing. He went outside and got into his car. He didn’t move from there until Hayden and Justin came out. Then he started following them. *** “Hello?” Brian asked, knowing perfectly well who it was. “How you been, Brian?” Hayden asked cheerfully. “What the fuck do you want?” Brian looked at Chris with a smile. “I want to meet with you. We have a few things to talk about,” Hayden looked at Justin who was serious. He rolled his eyes and moved his cell phone away. “Relax, Jus.” Justin nodded and tried to relax. “I’m with Justin,” Hayden told him. “So, what do you want me to say?” Brian closed his eyes and hoped that Justin was okay. “I know that you two were together. And I have proof if you don’t want your friends to find out then I suggest that you meet me. I want money. What do you think?” Hayden smirked. “I want you to meet me at the school on the roof in…two hours. Don’t be late, Brian.” Brian stared at his cell phone and sighed. “What did he say?” Chris asked. “He wants to meet me at the school. Two hours from now,” Brian rubbed his face. “Maybe…fuck!” “You are having second thoughts,” Chris said. Brian nodded and closed his eyes. He just needed to relax. He was doing the right thing. “I just don’t want anything bad happening to you or Justin.” “You love him, don’t you?” Chris asked. Brian started pacing again. He did love the blond and he knew that Justin loved him back. There was never a doubt in his mind and now Justin was showing him how much he did by helping him. He looked at his watch and shook his head. It was going to be two very long hours. “I’m going to go home. So that way Hayden and Justin can kidnap me,” Chris smirked. Brian nodded and watched him go. He sighed knowing something was wrong. He just could feel it. *** Justin licked his lips not sure what was going to happen next. “I think Chris is better. Brian and he are closer.” “No,” Hayden said as he looked at his watch. “Brian and Michael are best friends. Chris just hangs a lot with Brian. Trust me.” Justin cleared his throat and waited. He didn’t want to hurt Michael. No one else was supposed to get involved. He frowned and thought about calling the whole thing off and going home. “What are you thinking about?” Hayden studied Justin’s face. “Nothing. I’m just waiting,” Justin answered. Hayden nodded and stared at Justin with a little smile. “Whatever made you look his way?” “What?” Justin turned his head to look at Hayden, wondering what he was talking about. “Brian. Why were you with him?” Hayden arched a brow waiting for an answer. “What were you thinking?” Justin looked to the front and sighed. “I don’t know. I guess I was horny.” Hayden laughed. “Yeah. That happens. So, Shawn knew about you two.” Justin frowned not sure where Hayden was going. Hayden kept silent for a second not sure if he had given too much information. He didn’t want Justin to know that he had watched the whole thing that had happened a few weeks ago. “Yeah, I told him. I needed someone to confide in. He told you, right. Well, I knew that you would know what to do.” Justin hoped that Hayden wouldn’t ask anything else. “I’m glad.” “Yes,” Hayden said. “Who else knows about it?” “On my part. No one else,” Justin lied. “Good.” Hayden looked at his watch. “Get out.” “What?” Justin frowned, not sure what was going on with Hayden. “Get the fuck out of the car and go wait for him. I’ll drive by and wave at you and you’ll talk to him while you walk towards me. It’s dark no one is going to see anything,” Hayden explained. “We’ll grab him and go to the school.” Justin got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the house. He looked at his watch and thought about calling Brian and telling him what was going on but Hayden was watching him. So all he could do was wait. “Justin,” Michael said as he saw the blond standing in front of his house once he got there. “Hey,” Justin was nervous. He knew a lot could go wrong and someone could end up hurt. “I need to talk to you.” “It’s everything okay?” Michael asked, frowning. “Come on inside.” “No,” Justin told him quickly. “I…I can’t.” Michael frowned and moved to where Justin was. He put his hand on Justin’s shoulder and arched both his brows. “What’s wrong, Jus?” “Hey, guys,” Hayden, said. “What are you doing here?” Michael asked, turning around. He looked from Justin to Hayden and knew something was wrong. “What’s going on?” “You should come with us, Michael,” Hayden watched the dark haired teen, making sure Michael didn't take off suddenly. “What the hell for?” Michael asked, frowning. “Justin, did he do something to you?” Justin looked at the ground. “It wasn’t me,” Hayden shrugged. “It was your best friend.” “Brian? What did he do?” Michael asked. “What’s wrong with Brian?” “Hold him, Justin,” Hayden pulled out a piece of rope. “What the fuck?” Michael was about to move when he felt Justin holding him from the back. “I’m sorry,” Justin whispered to Michael. “What the fuck do you want?” Michael asked. Hayden punched Michael in the stomach. “I want bait. And you are it.” “Tie him up,” Hayden smirked when he saw Michael’s face. He handed the rope to Justin. Justin did what Hayden told him and tied Michael’s hands. “Sorry.” “What are you doing?” Michael asked looking at his friend or who he thought was his friend. “Justin?” Justin stayed silent. “Stop your whining,” Hayden laughed and gagged Michael. “Now what?” Justin asked. “Come on. Let’s go,” Hayden walked ahead with Michael behind and then Justin. “We’ll just wait for Brian to show up. He really is about to have an accident.” Michael tried to run but Justin had a good hold on him. He closed his eyes and prayed that they would be stopped. He didn’t want anything bad happening to Brian. He was pushed in the back seat and then they drove away. “You might think that we are crazy, Michael,” Hayden looked through the rearview mirror and smiled. “Maybe a little.” Justin sighed and put his seatbelt on. “It’s going to be perfect. You went with Brian to talk to Justin. I, as Justin’s friend, went with him. They were trying to talk about their relationship when Brian tried to hit Justin and I got in the middle. We started pushing each other and next thing you know, we all fell from the roof,” Hayden smirked. “But not before Justin here…saved me and only me.” Michael frowned. The plan was horrible. It would never work. He so hoped it didn’t. He looked in Justin’s direction and couldn’t believe that the blond had fooled everyone. *** Justin walked behind Michael. He didn’t know what the fuck was going to happen next. The plan wasn’t going as it was supposed to go. They entered the school through the back and then went to the roof. “We’ll wait here,” Hayden said stopping. He pushed Michael down and laughed when Michael grunted. “Pussy.” Justin sighed. “Don’t hurt him.” “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to him,” Hayden caressed Justin’s face. “For now.” Justin pulled away and then looked to the horizon. He looked at the sky and knew it was going to rain soon. He sighed and hoped that Brian came soon and brought Chris with him to come up with a new plan. “What happened between you and Brian?” “What?” Hayden asked as he sat down. “In Aspen. Something happened. What was it?” Justin asked with a raised brow. He crossed his arms and waited. Hayden shrugged as he looked up at Justin. “The truth is that we slept together but…he didn’t want me later on and we fought. It was stupid,” Hayden sat down and looked at his watch. Justin sat down and looked at Michael who was struggling on the floor. He controlled himself from going over there and untying the man. In a couple of minutes Brian would be there and things would be done. He looked at Hayden and remembered what the blond told him a couple of seconds ago. He shook his head and didn’t believe one word. He already knew what had happened. He trusted Brian. He smiled remembering the day that Brian decided to tell him everything. ”That was amazing.” Justin removed his legs from around the brunet’s waist and Brian pulled out of him. “It always is,” Brian put his head on top on Justin’s chest and smiled when the blond started running his fingers through his hair. “Brian, do you trust me?” Justin asked. Brian turned his head and looked at the blond with an arched brow. Justin just smiled and waited for the brunet to answer him. He looked away for a brief moment and stare at their surroundings. They were in the woods where Brian had brought him for a surprise picnic. He loved when Brian did romantic stuff. They were few and far in between and he cherished all the times he got. He smiled when he felt Brian’s lips on his cheek. “I trust you,” Brian told him. “Then tell me everything about you,” Justin whispered. Brian looked at the blond with an arched brow. He understood what Justin was asking him. He had told everything to Justin. The blond had managed to find every single detail about his life…except what had happened between him and Hayden. He felt his chest tightening and he moved away from the blond, reaching for his clothes. “Brian,” Justin bit his lower lip and did the same as the brunet. They got dressed in silence. “It’s getting late. We should head home,” Justin was looking at the sky as it darkened slowly. He wondered what had happened to the blue sky. He wondered what had happened just a few seconds ago. He hated when Brian closed up to him and nothing would make him talk. “No,” Brian turned around and sighed. He walked over to Justin and grabbed his hand. “Come on.” “Where are we going?” Justin asked. “There is something I have to show you,” Brian said, as he kept walking ahead not saying anything. He had his hand wrapped around Justin’s tightly. His heart was beating fast; he was so scared. Scared of what he would say and what Justin would do. They got in the car and didn’t talk at all. Brian was driving but didn’t say where they were going. “We are here.” Justin swallowed as he looked at the dark woods. “What is here?” “Get out,” Brian told him brusquely. Justin did and then followed Brian. They didn’t stop until they reached a lake. The place was closed and it looked abandoned. “We used to spend the summer here,” Brian said. Justin just listened, not wanting Brian to stop talking. “It was nice. It was my favorite place in the world. Except when it was dark,” Brian licked his lips and looked at Justin. “My brother died here.” “What?” Justin was shocked. “His name was Brad. He died when he was fourteen. Well, I think Hayden killed him,” Brian just stared at the unmoving water. “I’m sure he did.” Justin shook his head. His mouth was hanging open and his skin was so cold. “Bri.” “I didn’t like Hayden much. But he was Brad’s friend so I talked to him,” Brian licked his lips and pushed the memories from the past away. “What happened?” Justin asked. “They were here when it happened. I had seen them. Hayden was in love with him but my brother didn’t feel the same,” Brian swallowed hard. “Then I left. I fucking left him to die.” “No,” Justin walked over to Brian and hugged him. “It wasn’t your fault. No. Don’t say that.” “If I had stayed…” “Shhh,” Justin shook his head. “No. It wasn’t your fault.” Brian scratched the side of his forehead. His eyes were full of unshed tears. He grabbed Justin’s head and kissed him. “All I want to do is make him pay,” he said in a really low voice. Justin closed his eyes. He wanted to help Brian. He wanted Brian to think of something else but revenge. It wasn’t healthy. “I don’t want to kill him if that’s what you are thinking,” Brian told him. “I want to make him pay. I want him to confess to it. I want everyone to know even if they don’t do anything to him because it was so long ago.” Justin sighed not sure how Brian planned on doing that. “I don’t understand. Why did you become best friends with him then?” Brian smirked. “I wanted to be close to him. So I would know how to get him.” Justin just nodded and pulled away. He looked at the lake and then at Brian. “What happened between you and Hayden in Aspen?” Brian licked his lips and stayed silent, his body shaking slightly. He didn’t want Justin to know. “Brian. Tell me,” Justin’s voice quivered a little. He was scared of what he was going to because deep down he had an idea. Why Brian closed up to him everything time he touched him… “He raped me,” Brian whispered. …deep down Justin knew it. Every time he tried to make love to Brian and the brunet would freeze. He knew it every time he looked inside the hazel eyes when they were talking about Hayden and only found hate and pain. Brian didn’t move, waiting for Justin to say something. “What happened?” Justin asked as he moved closer to the brunet. Brian looked into Justin’s eyes and only saw love and concern in them. He grabbed Justin’s hand and felt better. “After he drugged me,” Brian sighed and let go of Justin’s hand. “He did what he wanted with me.” Justin grabbed Brian’s hand again. He took a step forward and Brian backed away pulling his hand with him. “Brian.” “Don’t say anything,” Brian ran his fingers through his hair and cursed under his breath. He looked to where the lake was and could swear that he saw his brother for a few seconds smiling at him. “I guess at some point I started screaming. That’s when Lindsay came in and she…stabbed him. She says that she was aiming at his thigh but…anyway; it was one hell of a night. I didn’t want to accuse him. That’s not the crime I wanted him to pay for.” “That’s why you hate him. Another reason to hate that bastard,” Justin said with a breaking voice and teary eyes. Brian looked at him and walked towards Justin. “Don’t cry.” “I think I hate him too,” Justin whispered as his fingers ran through the brunet’s hair. Brian just hugged the blond really hard.” “He’s here,” Hayden said smiling. Justin got up slowly as Brian walked over to them. “Hello, Brian,” Hayden smirked. “What the fuck do you want?” Brian asked arching a brow and crossing his arms. Hayden shrugged and smiled widely. “I want you to pay for what you did to Justin.” “Really?” Brian asked and nodded. “Does that mean you get to pay for what you did to Brad?” Hayden frowned and shook his head. “I didn’t do anything to him.” “Bullshit!” Brian hissed. Justin helped Michael up and started untying him. “Don’t move,” he whispered. Michael didn’t know what was going on but he knew he wasn’t moving. He looked at Justin and couldn’t believe he had doubted the blond. He gave him a little smile before they both turned to look at Brian and Hayden who were yelling at each other. “No! No!” Hayden put his hands on his ears to block out Brian. “Yes!” Brian hissed. “You killed him!” “He deserved it!” Hayden yelled with all his might. A tear made it down his face. “I loved him so much and he didn’t want me,” Hayden looked at the floor then as his hands and saw them shaking more than felt them. “I didn’t want to do it. It got out of hand and he…he wouldn’t wake up. I called him but he wouldn’t open his eyes.” Brian just stood there frozen. He knew what Hayden had done but still it was hard hearing him admitting it. He closed his eyes and tears fell down. He cleaned then quickly and looked back to the shadows. He looked at Hayden again and wanted to kill him. “You didn’t love him. You wouldn’t have done that to him.” Hayden looked at Brian and glared. “He deserved it!” Hayden smirked and took a step forward. “Just like you deserved to be hurt. You looked just like him. You were so good.” Brian made a fist and punched him hard. Hayden just started laughing. “It’s over now,” Hayden told him. “I am going to kill you.” “Did you got all that?” Brian asked. Chris came forth from the shadows and nodded. “It’s a wrap up.” Hayden opened his eyes wide when he saw the camera in Chris’s hands. “Hand it over.” “The fuck I will,” Chris told him and moved back. “I will kill Michael,” Hayden said and turned around moving towards where Michael and Justin where. Michael ran away from him to where the door was. Then he turned around and shrugged. “I don’t think so. I like living just fine.” Hayden frowned not sure what the fuck was going on. He turned to look at Justin and glared at him. “What the fuck is going on? Why did you let him go?” “I don’t want to hurt Michael,” Justin told him. Brian frowned, not liking how close Hayden was to Justin. “It’s over Hayden. You have nothing against us.” Hayden shook his head. “Why Justin? Don’t you want to hurt Brian? We have to get rid of Michael too.” Justin shook his head. “But he hurt you,” Hayden whispered. “He is not you, Hayden. Brian is not a monster. He would never hurt me,” Justin told him. “Brian hurt you. He choked you and…he was going to hit you. He called you names.” Hayden hissed. “I saw him hurting you. I did! You cried for hours.” “He never hurt me. No matter what you think you saw,” Justin spat out. Hayden frowned. He shook his head. He couldn’t believe he had been fooled. He grabbed his head, it hurt so much. Then he reached inside his pocket and felt the knife he had there. “What’s wrong, Hayden?” Chris asked. “Cat’s got your tongue?” Brian was behind Hayden when the blond pulled out the knife. He pushed Hayden to the floor and they started fighting for the knife. They were both holding the knife and moving from side to side when it slipped out of their reach. Then it started raining and everyone thought it was over but the knife was picked up by someone they didn’t expected. “Shawn!” Michael yelled, surprised. “Where the fuck did you come from?” Chris took a step back as he watched Shawn’s deadly gaze. “I was following Hayden and Justin,” Shawn looked at the knife on his hand. “No one is hurting Hayden.” Hayden pushed Brian away and ran to his brother. “Now we kill you all.” Michael looked at Chris and raised both his brows. "He so got that from a movie," he whispered. Chris smirked and then Shawn and Hayden moved forward and it didn't sound so funny anymore.
Big thanks to the betas CuJo and Carly.
