"We need to get his stomach pumped," Emily thought out loud. "Tell that ambulance to hurry!"

"Get here ASAP!" Matt screamed into the phone.

Andy's grip on Brandon's hand started to weaken as the ambulance arrived to try to save him.

Luke held onto Matt's hand, sqeezing it for comfort.

"What did he take?" The paramedics questioned.

"I don't know," Brandon told him, "He has been convulsing for seven minutes. His vitals aren't good."

Luke saw something sticking out of Andy's pocket. He pulled a needle out.

"He probably took whatever this stuff is," Luke said.

"It looks like heroin," Emily said, helping the paramedics get Andy on the gurney.

"One of you can come with," He told them.

"Go," Matt encouraged Brandon, "He knows you the best out of all of us."

"Okay," Brandon nodded, "Send Maxie and Sly my best?"

"Of course," Emily nodded, watching Brandon climb in the ambulance and drive away.

"Think he'll be alright?" Luke asked as he held onto Matt's hand.


Andy was too out of it to realize where he was. He just knew that he wasn't going to last too much longer.

When they got to the hospital, Andy was rushed to the ER. Brandon was told to wait in the ER. He undid his tie and sat down, worried about Andy. Most OD victims didn't hold out too long.


"I hope so," Matt sighed.

"They have to pump his stomach," Emily told them both, "After that, he'll have to fight. Do you think we should go to the hospital?"

"I don't know," Luke said as he looked at Matt. "I mean, Brandon could probably use a friend right now. And didn't Andy have a sister? She probably needs to know about this."

"Okay," Emily replied, grabbing her keys out of her purse, "Let's go then. I'll check his records when we get to the hospital and call his sister."

Matt followed her to the car, still grasping Luke's hand.

Andy layed on the operating table as his stomach was pumped. He could feel himself getting weaker. He didn't know if he had the strength to make it through.

Emily got to the hospital and checked Andy's records, realizing he was her roommate's brother. She dialed Emma's number, nervous about how to tell her Andy could die. There was no answer, so she just left a message.

"Emma, it's Emily. I'm at the hospital right now. Your brother, he overdosed on heroin. You should get here as soon as possible."

Luke looked over at Matt as they waited for word on Andy. "You know, maybe we should throw a Christmas party or something before everyone goes their seperate ways for the holidays."

"Absolutely," Matt agreed, "Before life falls apart for everybody, too."

"Guys..." Brandon sighed, walking into the waiting room, "You should go to the reception. It could take hours before I hear anything."

"Hello? Hello, I need help here!" Emma yelled, entering the ER and rushing to the nurse's station. "My brother, Andy Barclay is here for an overdose! Hello!?"

"Emma," Brandon sighed, approaching her, "I don't know if you remember me..."

"You're McDreamy's partner," Emma smiled, "Non-sexual partner of course. Do you know about my brother?"

"I was with him when it happened. For now, we just have to wait for the surgeon to come tell us what's going on."

"Maybe we should get you back to the wedding," Luke said to Emily. "Before Patrick sends out a search party for you."

The doctors in the E/R were working overtime to save Andy's life.

"We're losing him," The doctor said. "He's not fighting for some reason."

"Keep going we haven't lost him yet," The other doctor told him. "We still have a chance. Come on, kid, work with us here and fight."

"Emma?" Emily questioned, "Do you want me to stay here with you?"

"No," Emma sighed, "Go to that wedding. Dr. Ray here's an old friend. He'll sit with me, right Brandon?"

"Definitely," Brandon nodded. "Go send Sly and Maxie my love."

"Okay," Emily sighed, grabbing her purse from behind the nurse's station. She followed Matt and Luke out to the car.

Luke followed Matt and Emily out to the car. "I hope Andy's alright. Brandon really seemed to care about him. How does a guy get so bad that he has to turn to drugs?"

"Sometimes circumstances force you to do something so horrible, you just want to forget about it all. Other times, you feel so alone and useless that drugs are the only thing to make you happy," Emily explained, recalling her own drug use.

"I feel bad for him," Luke said as they headed back to the wedding. "I mean, I never knew him, but I hope he gets the help he needs."


The doctors did all they could for Andy.

"Let's close him up, we've done all we can do," The doctor said. "The rest is up to him."

"Knowing Brandon, he'll see to it that Andy gets taken care of," Emily reassured Luke as they pulled into the parking lot of the reception hall.

"You two should have fun tonight, though. You deserve it."

"Of course we will," Matt smiled, getting out of the car and squeezing Luke's hand.

"You still owe me a dance," Luke said as he pulled Matt toward the hall.


"Em!" Patrick said as he saw Emily. He pulled her close. "Where have you been?"

Matt frowned.

"I don't dance, remember? Why don't we just mingle?"


"The hospital," Emily explained quietly, unsure of why he was so concerned, "Brandon's date overdosed. What's wrong?"

"Because I can't do this if we're mingling," Luke said as he gently kissed Matt.

"It's Meena," Patrick told her. "She's been arrested. She killed the guy who trie to rape you. She tried to frame you for it. She let it slip and everyone heard."

"What!?" Emily questioned, not wanting to leave his arms, "She killed him?"

Matt pulled away with a smile. "I like that."

"Yeah," Patrick replied. "All this time the police were looking at me and you and Sly... and she did it. She's going to jail, Em. And once I get that divorce from Mexico, she'll be out of our lives."

"Come on," Luke said as he took Matt's hand. "Let's dance. I'll lead."

"What about the baby?" Emily questioned, "Could you really handle your child being born in jail?"


Matt smiled and followed Luke in, gently swaying to the music with him as they fell into comfort with one another.
