"Why do you think every guy has a hidden agenda?" Steven asked defensively. "I don't want to sleep with you, Emma. I do want to get to know you better, maybe even romantically, but I'd never take advantage of you like that. I know what Andy's going through, I've seen friends go through the same thing. I just want to make sure he gets through this."

"Oh, right!" Emma started, throwing her hands up in the air, "That's what he said too. He just wanted to help me... help my family get back on our feet! And all he did was destroy everything!"

"Emma, who are we talking about?" Steven asked as he looked into her eyes. "Please. Tell me what I'm doing wrong here. I feel like there's this whole chapter I'm missing."

Emma was overcome with emotion. She wasn't realizing what was coming out of her mouth, but she was about to share with him what only she, Emily, and her stepfather knew.

"My stepfather! He was an asshole who expected to collect with me every time he had to spend a dollar on food for Andy and me!"

"OH my God," Steven said, now feeling horrible for how he was obviously making her feel. "Emma, I'd never do that to you. I'm so sorry for making you feel that way. I don't want to have sex with you Emma, please believe me. I just- I just don't know how to approach you and not make you feel like I'm coming onto you."

"I've never told anybody that, not except Emily...." Emma started, panicking about what she just said, "You can't say anything to anyone."

"I promise," Steven told her. "But you help to get through this. I like you, Emma, and I don't want to see you hurt like this. Please, let me help you."

"You'll help me get through this how?" she asked, letting the tears fall down her face, "Nobody can help! All I can do is live in denial for the rest of my life!"

"No," Steven told her. "You're hurt and broken, Emma. But you can heal, I know you can. Look at my sister, Liz. She was raped in the park when she was a teenager. She hasn't forgotten about what happened, but she's moving on with her life with Lucky and her baby. You can do it too, Emma. I know you can."

"The guy who raped her wasn't related to her. She doesn't have to deal with that everyday!" Emma argued. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to belittle what happened to Elizabeth."

"Ir's alright," Steven told her as he looked into her eyes. "But believe me, Emma. I'd never hurt you like that. You've been through hell, and I want to help you. You have to be strong, Emma. For Andy's sake. If his ex gets to him before I can stop him... he's going to need you now more than ever."

Emma nodded and leaned into him, letting the tears flow out her eyes. "Okay, let's make a plan. How do we get Aaron where it hurts?"

"I'm not sure, yet," Steven told him. "I mean, the guy's rich and powerful. The important thing now is keeping Andy safe. If we keep Andy away from him, maybe he'll just give up, right? We need a place to hide him when he gets out of rehab."

"And how do we do that? Do you have mob connections too?" Emma asked.

"No, but I know who does," Steven told her. "I just hope Jason Morgan's up for helping us out."

"Emily's brother? I'm sure he would. He'll do anything she asks him to," Emma nodded, getting excited that they might have a plan together soon.

"We'll stop this creep," Steven promised her. "Andy will be safe."

Emma pulled back and looked into his eyes. She was actually starting to trust him. She hadn't trusted any man that wasn't Andy in years.

"Thanks, Steven. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you."

"Well, for starters you'd have to make your own breakfast," Steven told her with a smile. "I hope you're hungry."

"Starving. You really got up and made me breakfast after I yelled at you last night?" she asked, wiping tears from her face.

"Hey, yelling takes energy, I figured you needed a recharge," Steven told her. "Besides, I guess I deserved it for pushing so hard. I just don't want to lose you,Emma. I'd rather have you as a friend than nothing at all."

"I'm not going anywhere. But Steven, I need you to make me a promise. You can't ever leave me, okay? Now that you know everything, I need you close by."

"I promise, I'm not going anywhere, either," Steven promised her. "Now come on, breakfast is getting cold."

Steven headed into the kitchen, where the table was set for them. He poured a glass of orange juice and swallowed a few pills before sitting down across from Emma. "So, what are your plans for today?"

"I was going to see Andy. It's Christmas," Emma told him, realizing he was taking medication. "What are those?"

"Just some pills," Steven told her. "Nothing serious. Do you want me to come with you when you visit Andy?"
