Chapter 4.

After leaving the diner Micheal scanned the crowd. Not seeing Justin he began to panic. After searching for thirty minutes he came up empty handed

"Double shit" he murmed heading back into the diner.

"Where's Justin?" asked Brian as soon as he saw Micheal

"I couldn't find him" came the reply

"What!" Brian all but yelled.

"Brian, calm down he can't have gone far, he could be back at the loft right now" Lidsay said but her voice clearly showed she was worried aswel.

"I'll call if he's not there" Brian called over his shoulder

...

Brian skipped the lift and legged it up the stairs.

"Brian almost slipped when he stepped on something, looking down he saw it was blood.

"Oh no" whispered Brian quickening his pace. Throwing open the metal door Brian followed the trail of blood into the bathroom.

"Shit" he exclaimed when he saw Justin sitting on the floor holding a bandage on his arm where the blood was dripping through it.

Kneeling down, he gently lifted Justin's chin with his thumb and finger

"Brian, is that you?" Justin asked timidly when there eyes locked.

"You bet it is Sunshine" Brian gulped

Throwing himself at Brian, Justin began to sob.

"Do you care to tell me what happened?" Brian asked soothingly, rubbing circles in Justin's back.

Feeling Justin's shake of his head Brian contnued "Alright, can i look at your arm then?"

This time Justin nodded and pulled back from the comfort of Brian's arms and held out his arm.

Peering at the wound Brian deduced that it was only minor and would heal without problems. Wrapping it in a clean bandage he placed a soft kiss upon it.

"I'm sorry" Justin barely whispered, eyes downcast

Brian whipped his head up "Why are you sorry?" he almost demanded

"For shouting at you and leaving the diner" Justin replied his voice shaky as more tears climbed down his face.



"I deserved getting shouted at" Brian stated pulling Justin into a hug, being mindful of his arm.

They stayed like that for a while untill Brian moved them to the sofa. 'What the hell happend to him' thought Brian, desperate to know the answer.

"Sunshine, you have to tell me what happend" Brian said when he was sure Justin's tears subsided.

"Okay Bri" Justin mumbled.

Flashback

Justin stormed down the street leaving the diner in a huff 'God, why'd he do that? Doesn't he love me?' he thought not paying attention to where he was going.

Suddenly he was on the ground, looking up he saw a middle aged man standing above him.

"I'm so sorry, i wasn't watching where i was going" Justin apologised

"No it's okay, are you alright?" the man asked holding out his hand to help Justin up

"Yeah i'm fine" Justin replied grabbing the hand and pulling himself up with it. Coming up face to shoulder Justin realised this man was taller than him, looking up to see the man's face he smiled

"Well thanks for helping me up, have a nice day" Justin said and tried to walk away.

The man pulled at Justin's hand and pulled him flush against his front.

Leaning down to his ear the man whispered "I don't think your going anywhere"

Justin's heartbeat quickend, panic setting in. 'Brian, i need you please come' he thought frantically.

Justin tried to wiggle out of the man's grasp, but his attempts were useless, the man was too strong.

"I'd stop that if i were you" the man growled yanking Justin into a dark ally way

"Get off me!" Justin shouted hoping to get the attention of passing people but all he got was a hand covering his mouth.

"Shut up" the man growled, pushing Justin up the wall.

'My God, he's going to rape me!' Justin thought, tears streaming down his face.

The man turned Justin's head to the side, so he faced the street and licked up his neck.

Justin shuddered in fear. 'what have i done to desereve this?'

"Justin, Justin" 'i know that voice it's Mickey's' justin thought relief flooding through him.

"Mik..." Justin began to shout but the guy cut him off by covering his mouth with his own.

Justin nearly gagged when the guy stuck his tongue down his throat.

"Your not going to make a sound, got that" ordered the guy pressing a knife into Justin's side



Fear overwelmed Justin, a knife was pressing into his side only one thought went through his head

'No-one harms my baby'

With tears cascading down his face, Justin had to remain still otherwise the knife would have gone in.

He let the man lick his neck and wiated for the knife to move. Feeling it slide up next to his arm Justin kneeded the guy in his crotch, as he did that he felt the knife cut his skin.

The attacker slide down to the floor holding his crotch "You little bugger" he growled, trying to grab Justin

Justin's eyes falshed in fear and ran, he ran through the crowd all the way untill he was safe in the loft and didn't notice the trail of blood he left behind. Grabbing thr first bandage he could see Justin slid down th wall holind his arm, all the while crying.

End Flashback

Justin was crying again by the end of it "Brian it was so awful" he chocked out getting swept up into a hug by Brian

"Shhh, it's okay he won't hurt you ever again, i'll make sure of that" Brian stated. Brian was beyond shocked about what his sunshine told him 'how dare that creep touch MY Sunshine'

Brian resolved to hunt down the guy and making him pay, he just had to go by the description Justin gave him.

Justin cried himself to sleep on Brian's shoulder.

'god why does he have to go through so much?' Brian asked himself

He carefully picked up Justin and placed him on the bed, pulling a sheet over him.

"I'll be right back Sunshine" Brian whispered placing a kiss on his forhead.
