Daphne caressed Justin’s back while Justin cried. She looked at Kevin who was inside in the house with them trying to disappear. She had been surprised when Justin had come to the apartment and just hugged her before he had started crying. That had been almost an hour ago. Justin was just now calming down. “Come on.” “Where are we going?” Justin asked. “Let’s go to my room. We can talk there.” Justin nodded and got up. Daphne closed the door and turned to look at Justin. “You look miserable. What the fuck happened?” “Jimmy came around.” Justin said in a daze. “Daphne, fuck…I don’t know what to do.” “I think we should go to the police.” Daphne said. “Have you lost your mind?” Justin whispered. “They are going to kill us.” “Hello, are you retarded?” Daphne asked mockingly. “They are already trying to kill you. They are not after me because they don’t know you told me what happened.” “I should never have.” Justin rubbed his face and sat down. “This is so my fault.” Justin said. “It’s not.” Daphne told him. “I miss him. I miss Jason a lot.” Justin said. “I wish…I wish I could have done something. I was such a fucking chicken.” “Justin, it’s not your fault. You acted like anyone would have acted. I would have done the same thing.” Daphne told him. “But I should have convinced him not to take so many drugs. Fuck, Daph, I was supposed to watch out for him.” Justin whimpered. “You did. It’s not your fault. It was their fault. They did that to Jason.” Daphne said. Justin pulled away from her and cleaned his tears. “I have to go.” Justin told her. “Mom is waiting for me. I’m already late.” Daphne nodded. “Do you want to come with me?” Justin asked. “Nah, I have to catch up with my studies.” Justin nodded. “Justin.” Justin turned around and looked at her. “I really think you should talk with somebody that can help you. These guys can help you. They are professionals.” Daphne told him smiling sadly. “It’s going to kill you slowly Justin.” “I’m going to be okay, Daphne.” Justin raised his voice getting a little mad. “I have to be.” Daphne smiled and nodded. Justin grabbed the handle and opened the door. He walked out and found Kevin in the living room pacing around. “We can go.” Justin told him. Kevin nodded and they got out of the house. Justin saw Jake in the driver’s seat and frowned. “Where is Brian?” “I dropped them at the house so they could get Ben's car. They went to check something out.” Jake said. “Get in, your dad called.” “What did he said?” Justin asked. “That you are late.” Justin frowned and shrugged. He already knew that. ~~~~~ It had been a week since Justin had the incident with James and he was feeling a lot better. Justin came out of school and frowned when he didn’t see any of the guys. He started to go down the stairs and he almost had a heart attack. “Shit, Ethan, you scared the crap out of me.” Justin told him. “I’m sorry.” Ethan said. “Do you want to go eat something?” “I uh...” Justin said not sure what to tell Ethan. “Justin!” Brian shouted going up the stairs. “Are you ready to go?” “We are going to go eat something.” Ethan hissed. Justin opened his mouth in shock but recovered quickly. “Yeah.” Justin said a little confused at Ethan and Brian’s behavior towards each other. The three of them walked to the school’s café. Brian walked in the back; trying not to choke Ethan. “We can sit here.” Justin said taking a seat. “Does he have to be here?” Ethan asked while he sat down. “Yeah, I have to be here.” Brian told him with a deadly glare while moving his chair closer to Justin. Justin looked at Brian and wondered if Brian was jealous of Ethan. That thought immediately brought a smile to his face. “So Ethan.” Justin said putting at hand on Ethan’s arm. Justin looked at Brian whose glare had gotten ten times more deadly. Justin never thought he would have been so happy to actually touch Ethan’s arm. He looked back at Ethan who was looking at him sweetly. “I was thinking that maybe you and I could go out to the movies or something. Tomorrow night.” Justin told him. Justin had every intention of calling later and telling Ethan something had come up so he wasn’t going to be able to go. Justin just wanted to make Brian jealous. “I would love that.” Ethan told him. Brian started grinding his teeth together. He looked at Justin who was giving him a little innocent smile and Brian got even angrier. Justin looked at his watched and frowned. “I have to go.” Justin said getting up. “Oh, okay, I’ll call you.” Ethan said. Justin nodded and started walking away with Brian. When they reached the car Brian turned to Justin. “What the fuck was all that about?” Brain asked. “What?” Brian glared at him but didn’t say anything. “Just get in.” Brian told him. “Are you jealous?” Brian looked at Justin like he was nuts. “What the fuck are you talking about?” “Why wouldn’t you want me to go out with him?” Justin asked. “I just…I’m trying to keep you safe.” Brian muttered. “Oh, is that so?” Justin asked while he nodded in agreement. “But, um, I do have four strong men protecting me.” Justin smiled and passed his finger down Brian’s chest. Justin smiled and rested his hand on Brian’s abs. “You would protect me from the bad men, right?” Justin asked innocently as he got closer to Brian. Brian could smell Justin’s sweet scent all around him. “Yeah.” Justin smiled and kissed Brian on the lips. Brian for a moment forgot about everything and kissed him back. “Fuck.” Brian said grabbing Justin by the arms and pushing him away. “We are not supposed to do that.” “Sorry.” Justin told him. Brian glared at him. “Get in the car.” “Yes, sir.” Justin said enthusiastically. Brian got in the car and smiled at Justin. “You are not going out with him are you?” Brian asked. “Wouldn’t you like to know?” Justin teased. “Twat.” Brian said smiling. Justin smiled happily that Brian so liked him. ~~~~~ Justin went down the stairs and looked at Ben, Jake and Kevin arguing over what to watch. “Where is Brian?” Justin asked. “It’s his day off.” Jake said. “Oh.” Justin said. “Where did he go?” “Babylon.” Kevin told him. Ben and Jake looked at him like he was crazy for telling Justin where Brian was. “I was just going there.” Justin told them. “Be right back, I’m going to change.” “Nice, really nice.” Jake said hitting Kevin in the head. “Hey, it wasn’t my idea.” Kevin told him. “Brian told me to tell him.” “What is he playing at?” Jake asked Ben. Ben just shrugged. “I don’t know but I have enough brain cells still left to know that I am not going. Brian wants to play around then let him deal with Justin himself.” Ben said getting up. “It’s good to be in charge. You two go with him.” “That wasn’t part of the plan.” Kevin said frowning. “Where are you going?” Jake asked. “I’m going to go see Michael.” Ben told him. “Great love of his life.” Kevin mocked. Jake and Kevin started hugging each other as if they were making out imitating Ben and Michael. “Oh honey, you look so sexy,” “Thanks, baby. I work out.” Jake said laughing. “Are you ever going to grow up? You are twenty seven years old.” Ben said dryly. “So? I’m always going to be your little brother.” Jake said. “It’s his duty to make your life miserable. It’s in the little brother’s handbook. You should look it up.” Kevin told him. Ben shook his head and left. About an hour after that Justin came down to find Jake and Kevin watching a movie. “I’m ready to go.” Justin said. Kevin and Jake looked at each other and smiled. Brian was going to have a fit when he saw what Justin was wearing. “Let’s go then.” Kevin said. When they arrived at Babylon Jake said that they didn’t have to wait in line because he knew the bouncer. After they went in Jake told Kevin to keep his eyes open and then he went with Justin to the second floor. Kevin watched from afar and made sure that he had a clear view of Justin and Jake. Brian was dancing with a trick when he looked up to see a blonde that caught his attention. The guy had tight black leather pants with a white see through shirt. Brian smirked enjoying the guy’s ass. There were plenty of guys coming onto the hot blonde but he said no to everyone. Brian was about to go after him when he saw Jake. Jake was talking to the blonde and then the blonde turned around and Brian was sure that he was going to choke Kevin. Brian couldn’t believe that they had let Justin out of the house come like that. Brian went up the stairs as fast as he could until he reached Jake and Justin. As soon as Justin saw Brian he started dancing with the first guy that approached him. Brian saw this and got even angrier than he was. “Where is Kevin?” Brian asked angrily. “Over there.” Jake said pointing. “Tell him to go get the car.” Brian hissed. Jake looked from Brian to Justin before he left to get Kevin. “Let’s go, Justin.” Brian said. “No.” “You are supposed to be home, Justin. You have school tomorrow.” Brian said. “So?” Justin asked and kept on dancing. Brian rolled his lips inside his mouth and closed his eyes for a second. “You are going home, Justin.” Brian said. “Fuck you, you don’t own me.” Justin told him. Brian used his tongue in cheek expression and nodded. “You are right, Justin. Do whatever the fuck you want. It’s my day off and I have hundreds of guys waiting for me.” Brian turned around and went down the stairs. Justin watched him and got furious when he saw Brian dragging someone to the backroom. Justin pushed the guy he was dancing with away and went down. Jake looked at Justin that was headed for the exit. He tried to run to the blonde but it was difficult walking through the masses of bodies. Jake saw someone dressed in black going after Justin. Jake started pushing and pulling until he was at the exit. “Kevin!” “What?” Kevin asked walking faster to Jake. “Did you see Justin?” “When?” “Just now, he left. He saw Brian with some guy and he just fucking took off.” “Great, again I missed all of it.” Kevin said. “Could you stop making everything about you and help me look for Justin.” Jake asked. “Your brother is so going to be pissed.” Kevin said as they walked to the car. “A guy was following him.” “Oh shit, you are so dead.” Kevin told him. Jake shook his head and dialed Ben’s number. “Hello.” “Umm, we kind of have a problem.” Jake said. Kevin stood there looking at Jake with a smirked. Jake started pacing while he told Ben what had happened. When he finished he looked at Kevin who had his hand in the air and his head to the side pretending like he had been hanged. Jake kicked Kevin and then hung up his phone. “What happen?” Kevin asked. “He is calling Brian and then they are looking for Justin. They want us to go back to the house just in case Justin goes there.” “Oh my god. I was so wrong.” Kevin said. “Your brother is not going to kill you. Brian is going to castrate you.” Jake flinched knowing that Brian was capable of doing so.
