Emma had just finished with the wedding rehearsal when she decided it was time to check on her brother. For two months, she, Brandon, and Steven had been watching him 24/7, even when he didn't know it. She had volunteered for the overnight shift. She knocked on his door and waited for him to answer, knowing he was probably studying for the undergrad courses he was taking. |

Andy was laying on his bed, studying when he heard a knock at the door. He went and opened it, finding his sister. "What are you doing here this late?" Andy asked. "Don't you have to rest for the wedding tomorrow?" |

"I do, but I thought we could have one of our brother sister nights... maybe like a slumber party," Emma smiled, trying to make him feel like less of a charity case, "I'm nervous about having a date to this thing and being a bridesmaid and everything. I don't want to jump Steven or anything. And I definitely don't want to be all lovey-dovey." |

"Sure," Andy said as he let her in. "The truth is, I'm nervous about going to this thing, too. This is my first real date with Brandon and I don't know how to handle it. I mean, he's been so nice and kind to me. I don't know how to handle someone not using me as a punching bag." |

"You were always great to Aaron," Emma told him, "Even though he's the scum of the earth. Brandon's enamored with you. Trust me, you'll have a great date." |

"You know what's weird?" Andy asked. "I haven't received any threatening letters or calls from Aaron since before Christmas. It's like he's just given up." |

Emma swallowed hard and took a seat on the end of Andy's bed. "Yeah... that is weird," she answered quietly. |

"That's a good thing, though, right?" Andy asked hopefully. "I mean, I'm starting to get my life together again. The hurt's gone, Emma. I'm off of heroin, I have a career to look forward to, and a bunch of friends to hang out with. I'm on top of the world." |

Emma smiled and gave him a hug. He wasn't safe, but if he felt safe, that was all she needed to know. "You're getting everything together. It's going to be a great year." |

"What about you? How are you and Steven getting along?" Andy asked as he closed his book. |

"He's... perfect, which sucks sometimes, because I don't know if I really want to get involved with him or not. I mean, I do, but I couldn't take losing his friendship if things didn't work out," I explained honestly. |

"And why wouldn't it work out?" Andy asked as he looked at her. "He obviously cares about you. Besides, he's the first guy I've ever seen who's treated you decently." |

"Yeah, but you know me. I sabotage relationships. There's no way that I'm going to let myself be happy with Steven, as much as I want to," Emma told him. |

"You need to have some faith in yourself," Andy told her. "You deserve to be happy." |

"So what do I do?" Emma asked, desperate to start something with Steven, "Do I just kiss him? Do I get him in bed? Or do I talk to him and plan out some ridiculous first date?" |

"Slow down, girl," Andy said with a laugh. "Start at the wedding tomorrow. Share a slow dance with him, and have a heart to heart with him. Go from there." |

"Okay, it's a deal," Emma told him with a smile, "Maybe by this time next year, I'll be in a meaningful, long-term relationship." |

"Hopefully both of us will," Andy told her. "I really want things to work out with Brandon. I really care about him." |

"Wow, look at us. We're both actually doing well at the same time. Someone should mark this on a calendar," Emma laughed. |

"I just can't help but think things are going to get screwed up," Andy told her. "I don't know why, but I thinK I'm going to mess things up with school and Brandon." |

"Hello, didn't you just tell me to have faith in myself like two minutes ago?" Emma asked with a smile, "We both need some confidence or we're going to lose these hot, nice men that we've had fall into our laps." |

"Em, what would you have done if I hadn't left with you that night?" Andy asked. "If I'd- If I'd been too scared to leave Aaron?" |

"I don't know," Emma told him honestly, "I probably would have killed him myself, before he had the chance to kill you." |

"I just feel sorry for whoever else that ends up with him," Andy told her. "I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone." |

"If only we could send the bastard to jail, then we'd be worry free," Emma wished out loud. |
