"Dammit!" I shouted as I slammed down the phone. I hoped Abby didn't hear, but things just bad for me. "What am I going to do?"

I was upstairs in my room, in the process of reorganizing it, when I heard my brother shout and then slam down the phone. I had no idea what was going on and I felt the need to find out what it was. I rushed down the stairs and stopped at the bottom of the staircase.

"Jack, what is going on?"

"They're foreclosing on our house in Salem," I told her. "Mom and Dad can't afford both that house and the house they're buying in London. What am I going to do? I have no where else to go."

I had no idea that our house in Salem was about to be lost, let along that we had money problems to begin with. I couldn't tell my brother what to do and make him do it, but I could offer him a suggestion.

"You could rent out an apartment here and simply move from Salem to this town."

I suggested to him with a simple shrug.

"I'm about to start my senior year of high school," I told her. "And I've got like, five bucks to my name. The only way I could afford a place on my own is if I asked Dad for the money, and... I just don't want to have to go begging for cash."

I fell silent and bit my lip. I quickly came up with an idea and smiled slightly.

"You could always stay here with me?"

I suggested with a simple shrug.

"I have a spare bedroom that you could take. We could also enroll you in the public high school here so you don't have to pay anything for schooling."

"I don't know," I told her. "What about your boyfriend?"

I gave him a look and shrugged.

"It really shouldn't be a problem. It isn't like we are living together or anything. Dillon will be more than okay with this; that is just the kind of guy that he is."

I told my brother with a small smile. Dillon was really great. I had no doubt that he would be supportative of this decision.

"Thanks," I said. I guess if I was living in Westland, I could keep a better eye on her. Then I got a better idea. "Hey, didn't you say Dillon was looking for a roommate?"

I had no idea why my brother was asking if my boyfriend needed a roommate, but I was going to give him an honest answer.

"Umm...yeah."

I replied cautiously.

"Why?"

"Because, if you really like this guy, then I should get to know him," I told her. "Get him aquainted with your little brother before he meets Mom and Dad."

I still wasn't getting this. Did my brother want to be my boyfriend's roommate? If he did, that was one heck of a bad idea.

"Do you want to live with Dillon?"

I asked him and then gave him a look.

"Who wants to live with me?" I asked as I knocked on the door that was open.

"Well, you said you needed a roommate, so I figured I could fill that role," Jack replied.

I laughed at that. "Well, that would be up to Abby, and if she wants her brother and boyfriends sharing a living space."

Jack Jr. was a homophobic little twit. He'd seen the video of me and Lucas and assumed the worst. I wasn't going to let him tear me and Abby apart. She knew about Lucas, but if she saw the tape... I couldn't lose her. Not like that.

I looked between the two guys and sighed softly. This had 'bad idea' written all over it. However, I couldn't tell them what to do. If they wanted to live together, who was I to stop them?

"If you two really want to live together, then go for it. However, consider the consequences of it before you make a decision."

I told them with a soft sigh. Hopefully they decided against it.

I didn't need Abby's homophobic brother living with me. Especially since he saw the tape of me and Lucas.

"Well, I was kind of thinking of a different arrangement," I said. "Since my apartment's a two bedroom, why don't you move in with me, Abby? And Jack can have this one."

I looked between Dillon and Jack and gave what Dillon suggested some serious thought. Was I ready to move in with him? I wasn't sure. However, I knew that we had three people here and only two places to live. Someone had to move in with someone.

"Yeah, that would be great."

I replied, realizing that it was a two bedroom apartment. It would be real easy this way.

"No way," Jack said. "My big sister's not moving in with you."

"It's her call," I replied.

"Yeah, and what happens the first night you bring one of your little boyfriends home for a romp?" Jack asked.

I sighed heavily and shook my head. I did not appreciate that comment from my brother, not at all.

"Jack, you don't talk to him that way. I know all about Dillon's past and right now he is only interested in me. He won't be bringing any guys, or girls, home."

I assured him and then shot him a look of warning. If he knew what was good for him, he would knock this off.

"Abbby's the only person for me," I told Jack as I took her hand. "I'd never do anything to hurt her."

"Like you didn't hurt this Georgie person you dated?" Jack asked. "Or that doctor whose heart you broke? I know all about you, and I'm not going to watch you destroy my sister."

I was really starting to lose my cool because Jack just wouldn't stop treating Dillon as if he was some expert user. He wasn't like that and I knew it for a fact. However, Jack just couldn't see it.

"Enough!"

I snapped at my brother and shook my head in disgust.

"I know that you are trying to protect me, but I do not need to be 'saved' from Dillon. He is a good man and if you can't see that, then perhaps you and I need some space from each other until you stop treating me like I am the younger sibling and attacking my boyfriend for no good reason whatsoever."

"No good reason?" I asked. "He's into guys! He's going to hurt you."

"I love Abby," Dillon said as he took her hand. "She's important to me, I'd never hurt her like that. Jack, why are you doing this?"

"Because you're gay!" I told him. "You're a fag, and my sister shouldn't be with you!"

Dillon heard the 'f' word come from Jack's mouth and lost control. His fist slammed into Jack's mouth.

My eyes widened in horror when I saw Dillon's fist connect with my brother's face. I knew that Jack deserved it, but I didn't want him hurt all at the same time.

"Dillon! Stop!"

I yelled and got between the two of them.

"Hitting isn't going to solve anything."

I hated what my brother said, but I didn't want a huge fight to break out and have the both of them get hurt as a result of it.

"I'm sorry," I said as I looked at Abby. "I shouldn't have hit him."

Jack rubbed his jaw and looked at Dillon. "If you want to throw your life away with this creep, then fine, don't say I didn't warn you."

Jack grabbed his jacket and walked out the door.

"Jack!"

I called after him, but I quickly realized it was too late because he had already left. I sighed heavily and closed my eyes. I couldn't believe how terrible this thing had gone. My boyfriend and my brother hated each other and it was tearing me apart.

"This is awful."

I groaned and opened my eyes back up, looking over at Dillon.

"I'm so sorry," I said as I hugged Abby. I don't know why Jack hated me so much, but he was hurting Abby with his attitude. "This is all my fault."
