Pain

(normal pov)

Caleb walked with Brandy outside and found Reid, Tyler and Pogue.

Caleb pulled Reid away from them, making sure Brandy was okay.

"What is it Caleb?" Reid asked, noticing that Brandy looked as if she had been crying.

"Reid...one of them was in her history class."

"Wh–you mean?!"

Caleb nodded and quickly in a hushed tone what Brandy had told him.

Reid looked over at Brandy who was leaning against the Hummer, next to Tyler, across from Pogue who was sitting on his bike.

Reid felt the anger rise up even more as he took in her appearance. The red eyes, the tear streaks, everything.

"Reid!" Caleb exclaimed in a hushed tone, turning him away so Brandy couldn't see his face. "Your eyes!"

Reid's eyes had turned black from his anger and he was ready to hurt someone.

Reid focused on making his eyes go back to their normal color. "Caleb?"

"They're normal."

"Good but... what are we gonna do? I mean, that guy is in that class alone with her." Reid seethed.

"Not alone really, but I get your point... Sarah and well Kate are in her History class I think..."

"You think Sarah could watch out and see who sits behind her?"

"Maybe."

"Well, ask her tonight. You two got a date, right?"

"Yea."

"Then ask her."

Reid went to Brandy and wrapped a arm around her shoulder.

"What happened?" Pogue asked Caleb softly.

Caleb retold it again.

"Dammit." Pogue cursed under his breath.

"Yea." Caleb agreed.

No one said anything for a moment and then, they all started to get ready to leave. Pogue started up his bike and pulled out. Caleb started his car but waited till Brandy was in the Hummer with Reid and Tyler and they had pulled out before he pulled out.

Caleb's hands were tightened around his steering wheel. He wanted to find the guy and kill him but he knew he couldn't and all that, but it didn't matter, cause he still wanted to.

When Reid, Tyler and Brandy got to the Garwin mansion, Brandy went straight to her room. Reid sighed a bit.

He couldn't help but feel as if she hated him, blamed him and wanted nothing to do with him. If only he had picked her up...

"What happened?" Tyler asked.

Reid retold the story.

Tyler shook his head. "Man..."

Reid just nodded. He and Tyler were by his room. He looked across the hall to Brandy's door.

"Why don't you try talking to her again?" Tyler suggested. It became a habit that after school, Reid would go home for a hour and try to get Brandy to talk to him. And Tyler didn't mind coming to help him out, cause he wanted to help.

Reid nodded and knocked on Brandy's door. "Hey, Liz? Can we talk?"

"I don't wanna talk Reid. Go away." came Brandy's automatic response.

Reid sighed and his shoulders sagged.

Tyler patted Reid on the shoulder. "Don't worry she'll come around soon."

"Yea, I hope so."

Later and with Sarah and Caleb

All through their date, Sarah couldn't help but notice that Caleb's mind seemed to be elsewhere.

"Caleb?" Sarah asked in the car.

"Hmm?"

"Is there something on your mind?"

"Well...yea..."

"What?"

"My... well friend... Reid's step-sister–"

"Reid has a step-sister?" Sarah asked, confused. She didn't know that. And why didn't she know that? Shouldn't she knew these type of things?

"Yea, his dad got remarried a few years ago when we were about 14... when she and Tyler were 12... Anyway... uh... a guy..." Caleb couldn't just tell Sarah what had happened to Brandy. He wouldn't betray her trust like that. "A guy that hurt her before has been messing with her. We, as in the guys and me have been watching out for her and... Well there's a class she doesn't have with us..."

"And let me guess... I'm in that class."

Caleb inwardly winced from Sarah's tone. "Um, yea. Could uh kinda watch out for her? You know, just every once in a while, check to see if she's okay. You know, if she gets tense or something during class, can you check to see who's behind her or around her, close enough to whisper to her?"

A part of Sarah wanted to say 'no' but she just said, "Yea, sure."

It didn't cross her mind to ask why she had to see who's behind her or anything. Or what the guys name was. At least not then.

"Um, Caleb?" Sarah asked when they had about 3 more minutes till they got to the Dorms to drop her off.

"Yea?"

"Was it her you were hugging in the hall earlier?" Sarah asked.

"Wha...? You saw that?"

"Yea. Well?" Sarah asked, getting a bit impatient.

"Well, yea it was her. The guy had umm, made a comment during History class toward her and it freaked her out."

"Oh."

At least it wasn't someone else. If it had been someone else Sarah would have been a bit more worried. Not saying she wasn't worried. Caleb had been hugging her pretty close and tightly and had, had his face close to hers...

At least now, Sarah knew who it was... sort of and figured that she could handle her.

(A/N: Sorry if anyone hates how I'm doing Sarah but she's being a bitch in my story xD ha and so is Kate cause I hate them both a bit haha.)

With Brandy

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Brandy was in her room, listening to music. 'Pain' by Three Days Grace was playing.

You're sick of feeling numb
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand
This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand

She was drawing a picture. For some reason, Caleb had came to mind as she drew. So she drew him, as she remembered him.

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Anger and agony
Are better than misery
Trust me I've got a plan
When the lights go off you will understand

Her tongue, the very tip of it came out between her lips. She was biting it but it wasn't hurting.

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing
Rather feel pain

She shaded in shadows and worked on trying to get Caleb's comforting eyes just right, trying to get that little sparkle.

I know (I know I know I know I know)
That you're wounded
You know (You know you know you know you know)
That I'm here to save you
You know (You know you know you know you know)
I'm always here for you
I know (I know I know I know I know)
That you'll thank me later

She looked at the finished product. It looked good (she was her own worse critic) shaded. She wondered for a second if she should color it but decided not too. She could always do another one to color.

Pain, without love
Pain, can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain

Brandy leaned over to her bed side table and pulled out her razor. Slowly she made a cut in her leg. She watched the blood trail down her leg for a second before she cleaned it up and hid the razor again. She looked at the drawing of Caleb.

'Never in a million years.'

Elsewhere

He had been working at regaining his strength, at getting strong enough to attack and he was nearly there. Just a few more weeks.

But not to say he wasn't having any fun.

Heh, he was having a lot of fun.

He had found a guy who was sick enough to rape someone and brought it out a bit more.

He then, waited a few weeks before adventuring out, disguised and he and his friend took care of someone close to the Sons.

Someone who was getting closer and would help bring them down.

Damn, he was good.

A/N: Uh oh... who could that be? Hmm, I got a idea ;) hehe. Review! And I do not own the song, "Pain" by Three Days Grace!!!!
