Debbie opened the door and walked in. Emmett got up quickly and looked at all of the people coming inside his apartment. Brian got up too and looked at a very pissed off family. “Where is my son?” Jennifer yelled. “What?” Emmett asked. “Did something happen?” Brian asked, already thinking the worst. “Chris came into my house and took Justin away. He told me to say hi to you.” Michael shouted. “Who the fuck is Chris?” Debbie demanded. “Fuck!” Brian hissed. “You owe us an explanation.” Debbie informed him. “I haven’t done anything.” Brian told them. “I need to go.” “You must be doing drugs if you think you are going to get past this door.” Melanie yelled. “We want to know where Justin is and now!” “Yeah.” Lindsey agreed. “Brian.” Jennifer said in a deadly tone. “Where is my son?” “I don’t know.” Brian told her. “He had a gun. He pointed it at me.” Michael told them. Michael walked towards Brian. He pushed Brian against the wall. Brian didn’t do anything. “Why is he doing this to Justin? This is your fault.” Michael yelled. "Look, I don't have an answer for you." Brian hissed. "I don't know where Justin is." “Maybe we should just calm down.” Emmett said. “I’m sure Justin is okay. He is going to call any minute now.” “I’m calling the cops.” Jennifer announced. Brian started pacing back and forth, going out of his mind. He couldn’t believe that Chris had actually taken Justin away. He just didn’t know what he was supposed to do anymore. He picked up his cell phone when it started to vibrate. “Hello?” Brian asked. “Hey.” Chris said. “Where the fuck are you?” Brian hissed as he walked away from the gang. “You know where I am. Why don’t you come over? Justin and I will be waiting for you.” Chris told him before he hung up. Brian closed his phone and grabbed his jacket. “I have to go.” Brian said. “Hold on a minute!” Debbie yelled. “Who were you talking to?” “No one.” Brian grunted and started walking to leave the apartment. Brian had almost reached the door when a hand stopped him. “Just bring him home. I don’t care about anything else but Justin being safe.” Vic told him. Brian swallowed and nodded before he left the apartment. He did know where Chris and Justin were. He was just too scared to think about it. It was the old house, the house where Jake had died. *** Brian came inside the house and looked around. Chris was smiling at him and pointing a gun at Justin. Justin had been crying but now was looking space out. “What did you do to him?” Brian asked. “Nothing. We have been waiting for you.” Chris told him. Brian pulled out his gun and pointed it at Chris. He wanted to pull the trigger but something kept holding him back. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Say goodbye to him, Brian.” Chris teased. “Chris, don’t, please. I love him.” Brian said. “What about me, Brian?” Chris asked. “You killed Jake without a second thought.” “He was a bad man.” Brian hissed. “You know it.” Chris looked away and nodded. He looked back at Brian and smirked. “Whatever. I still want revenge.” Chris told him and looked at Justin. Chris put his hand inside his coat and pulled out another gun. He threw it at Justin’s feet. “Go ahead and pick it up. Try to defend yourself. I’ll give you that.” Chris said as his hand trembled. “Don’t.” Brian hissed towards Justin. “Don’t move.” Justin stayed still. “I’m going to kill him, Brian.” Chris repeated. Brian watched Chris for a while, wondering why Chris kept repeating it over and over again. Then it hit him and he lowered his gun and turned around as a few tears made their way across his face. “Don’t walk away from me. I’ll shoot him. I swear to god, I will shoot him.” Chris yelled. “Brian! I’m going to shoot him.” Brian put his hand in his mouth and tried to control himself. He was starting to see what Chris had been trying to do. He shook his head and turned around to face Chris again. “I’m sorry.” Brian told him. “Sorry is not going to cut it.” Chris told him. Chris looked at Justin and then at Brian. “Aren’t you going to do anything?” Chris asked. “No.” Brian told him. Justin flinched at Brian’s words. “You are not going to kill him, Chris.” Brian told him. Chris frowned and then took a step towards Brian. “Then I will kill you.” Chris told him. Justin opened his eyes wide and moved forward, taking the gun that was on the floor. “Stop!” Justin yelled. When Justin saw that Chris was smirking and pointing the gun at Brian, he didn’t think twice. He took the shot but missed. Brian looked at Justin, wide eyed, and then started walking towards Chris. “Justin! Stop!” Brian ordered him. “He is not going to shoot me.” “Yes, I am.” Chris said and made a gesture like he was about to shoot. Justin shot again but Brian jumped in and took the bullet that was intended for Chris. Justin let go of the gun and ran towards Brian. “Brian!” Chris shouted and took Brian in his arms. “You are such a fucking asshole. That bullet was for me.” Justin got on his knees and took Brian’s hand while he looked at Chris like he was crazy. “Brian? Brian, don’t close your eyes. I’m so sorry.” Justin said. “Please, don’t die on me.” Brian inhaled deeply before he opened his eyes. “Good shot, Sunshine.” Brian told him. Justin started crying. “Why would you still protect me? You are such a stupid ass.” Chris shouted. “I figured it out.” Brian hissed as the pain shot through him. “You were going to do it. You were going to kill him that night. I know it. I knew it when I saw you hesitating before you shot me. You couldn’t be mad at me for something you were going to do.” Chris started crying. “I’m sorry.” Brian told him. “I just wanted to spend one last night with him. I didn’t want to accept that he was doing those things.” Brian closed his eyes as a tear fell down. “I was so mad at you, Brian.” Chris told him. “I’m sorry.” Brian told him. “You need help, Chris.” Chris frowned. “I do not!” Chris told him. Justin just watched the two of them in awe. They reminded him of someone but he just couldn’t remember who. “You were trying to make me kill you. You wanted to die and you didn’t have the guts to do it yourself.” Brian whispered. “I can’t believe you.” Chris closed his eyes and let the tears fall. “It is just so hard without him.” Chris told him. “You weren’t going to kill me?” Justin asked confused. Chris shook his head. “I would never have harmed you.” Chris said. “I know Brian is in love with you. I just wanted him to get mad enough and maybe…maybe I did want him to suffer a little.” Justin shook his head at the whole thing. It was pretty crazy. “We have to get you to a hospital.” Justin told Brian. “No!” Chris and Brian hissed. “No hospitals.” Brian said. “Here.” Chris said pulling out his cell. “Dial three and tell him where we are and where Brian is hurt and nothing else.” Justin nodded and did so. He couldn’t stop thinking how weird it all was. Brian and Chris were definitely nuts and he was just as crazy for staying. When he was done, he just went back to Brian’s side. “You are an asshole.” Chris said. “Fuck you.” Brian hissed. “Whatever, you are still a stupid ass.” Chris informed him. “How can you be so dense, jumping in front of a fucking bullet?” “I was trying to save you.” Brian told him. “You are always trying to save me.” Chris told him. “I’m not a kid anymore, Bri.” “You are always going to be a kid to me.” Brian assured him. “You never change.” Chris told him and hugged him. “You scared me.” “I’m sorry.” Brian told him. “You are all I have left Brian.” Chris told him. “You have been there since mom and dad died.” Brian hugged him back. “Oh my god.” Justin said after watching them for a while. “Oh. My. God. Is he your brother, Brian?” Brian snorted and nodded. “You two are so fucked up in the head.” Justin told them and grabbed Brian’s hand. “And you didn’t get to meet Claire.” Chris told the blonde. Brian and Chris looked at each other before they shuddered. “You would have been begging for someone to shoot you.” Brian said. Chris looked at Justin with a smirk and nodded. Justin was just happy that Brian was okay.
