"He and his girlfriend broke up. And when it happened, he freaked," Brandon started, "So he left town. I don't think it's for good, though." |

"I feel bad for what happened," Andy said as he looked down at his tray. "I should have never asked Zander to work there. If I'd known what a great guy he was when I first saw him.... It's my fault he's so miserable right now." |

"You didn't force anybody to do anything wrong," Brandon consoled him, "Just like you never forced me to have that one night stand." |

"I- I hate forcing people," Andy said as he looked down at his plate. "MY ex- He- he forced me a lot. When I wouldn't do something, he'd beat me until I did. And now... I think he's coming for me." |

"Then we neeed to get to the police and tell them everything," Brandon started, "I'm not going to let anything hurt you, Andy." |

"I tried," Andy told him. "But they can't do anything unless Aaron actually tries something. They won't arrest him unless he attacks me." |

"Well, then, you're not living alone. You're coming to live with me, platonically, but just so that you don't get attacked or worse," Brandon told him. |

"You'd do that for me?" Andy asked as he looked up Brandon. "I- I don't know what to say. I've never had a guy treat me this good before." |

"Well, my parents always taught me to do the right thing. Helping you feels good," Brandon told him, "I really like you, Andy." |

"I like you, too, Brandon," Andy replied as he took a bite of pizza. "The night I met you. It was the first time I felt good in a very long time." |

"This Aaron guy really screwed you up, didn't he?" Brandon questioned, "Andy... you know you're not worthless, right?" |

"He- he made me completely dependant on him," Andy silently said as he looked down. "LIke I was nothing without him. And I believed him, too. If Emma hadn't gotten me away from him, I'd probably be dead now." |

"Right, but how do you know that you're safe now? If this guy was so obsessed with you, what's to say you're safe not being in a shelter?" Brandon questioned with concern. |

"He won't let anything stop him," Andy told him with fear in his eyes. "He's rich, he knows to pay people off to get what he wants. Even if I went to the police, he'd just pay some judge off or something." |

"Okay, so what about going underground?" Brandon suggested, "The mob connections in this town are insane. I'm sure I could get some favors for you to get you a new identity." |

"I appreciate it, but... if I run away again, I'm never going to stop," Andy told him. "I need to stop being afraid of him. Maybe if I stand up to him, he'll leave me alone. Do you think you can help me with that?" |

"I'll help you in anything you want," Brandon promised, "But what are we going to do? Beat him?" |

"No," Andy said. "But I do want to show him that I'm strong and he can't frighten me anymore. I have friends now, and that's giving me the courage to fight back." |

"Then I'm in," Brandon told him, putting his hand on Andy's, "What do we do? Do you have a plan?" |

"Not really," Andy said. "I haven't seen Aaron since the night he- he almost killed me." Andy pulled down his pants enough to show a scar on his thigh. "He cut me pretty bad. The worst mark he left on me." |

Brandon caught his breath in the back of his throat. The cut had been deep; he'd never seen anything like that as a doctor. "Andy, this is serious. We need to get lots of help... every man I know in town." |

"I couldn't ask all of you to risk this," Andy told him. "I mean, would they really be willing to stand up for me?" |

"Absolutely. They're all great guys," Brandon told him, "And it's the least they can do. Andy, you're not going to die. Not for a long time." |

"Get out of rehab," Brandon told him, "Go back to working at the law firm and get your life on track. That would make me happy. That, and maybe a date sometime." |
