Drew ran his hand through his hair and mentally cursed himself for being so stupid. Why had he gone into the Boiler Room with Bianca? He loved Alli, loved her, and he knew it to. So why would he cheat on his perfect girlfriend with a slut like Bianca? A slut that had ruined his brother's life at that. Drew's eyes widened slightly and he froze, looking like a deer caught in the headlights.

Adam.

How was he supposed to tell him about his momentary lapse in judgment? He couldn't just not tell Adam. He needed to talk to someone, and that person had always been Adam. He gulped audibly and looked towards his brother's room, where the Dead Hand music was pulsating from. How would Adam react? Would he be extremely pissed at his older brother for doing something like that?

Of course he would. Even if Bianca hadn't ruined Adam's life Drew still had cheated on his girlfriend. Sighing bitterly he made his way out of his room, trying to think of the best way to explain things to his little brother.

xxxxxxx

Adam was innocently blasting Dead Hand and minding his own business when his door suddenly slammed open. He nearly fell out of his bed and watched his brother storm in and slam off the music. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he silently wondered if the music had been bugging Drew. It never had before.

"Adam; we need to talk…" Drew mumbled. Adam saw the determination in his brother's eyes and his own eyes widened. Had Drew found out about the fight between him and Fitz? No one seemed to know since they were busy gossiping over the stink bomb; and it wasn't like Fitz walked around broadcasting the fact he got beaten by a transgender.

"I can explain…" Adam started, sitting up and running through his hand sheepishly. Drew's thoughts immediately transferred over to wondering what his brother was talking about instead of how he was a slimy dirt bag.

"Explain what?" Drew asked cautiously and Adam's head whipped around to face him.

"Wait; what are you taking about…?" Adam asked, making his older brother slightly more worried.

"What are you talking about?" he countered and Adam grew defensive.

"It all depends on what you're talking about…" Adam shot back. The two brothers's continued to stare each other down until one cracked. That one happened to be Drew.

"Is there something you'd like to tell me?" Drew asked, his eyebrows rising. Adam mimicked him, trying to hide his anxiety. Did Drew know about the fight or not?

"What is it you want to tell me?" Drew mentally cursed his brother's stubbornness.

"Seriously Adam; don't be immature."

"I just want to know why you barged in my room for no reason at all and turned off my music." Adam replied innocently, "Did you hear something about what happened the day the stink bomb went off?" Drew's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"No why-" he froze and his eyes widened. "Adam; you didn't!" Adam tensed, "Why would you set off a stink bomb? If you didn't study that was your fault!"

"Wait a second!" Adam shouted back, "That wasn't me!"

"Then why were you bringing that up?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Adam replied smoothly and Drew's eyes narrowed accusingly. He decided he'd bring the stink bomb incident up later; he had more important things to talk about.

"I have something I want to talk to you about…" he admitted, looking back down at his shoes. Adam sat up straighter; pleased by the sudden change of subject but wondering what was on his brother's mind. "Me and Bianca hooked up." Complete silence took over the room.

"Bianca and I." Adam corrected, breaking the silence. Drew's head snapped up.

"What?" he asked.

"The grammatically correct way to say it is; Bianca and I hooked up." Adam explained, not knowing what else to say. Drew nodded again and Adam could see he was anxiously awaiting Adam's response. Adam really didn't know what to say. He felt slightly angered by the fact his brother would hook up with a bitch like Bianca, but he didn't understand why his brother was so worried. "Does Alli know?"

"No." Drew replied, sinking deeper and deeper into self-hatred. He just knew his brother was pissed and probably felt betrayed. "I'm really sorry." He whispered.

"I don't think you should be saying that to me…" Adam said confusedly, "It's not like you cheated on me with Degrassi's neighborhood slut… You're not planning to do it again, right?"

"Of course not!" Drew said, completely disgusted by the thought of doing it again. Once the disgust went away he turned towards his brother again. "How come you're not all pissed and yelling at me?"

"I'm pissed but why would I yell at you?" Adam asked, "I mean; I probably would have hooked up with Bianca before as well except… you know…" Drew nodded in understanding.

"But… she ruined your life." Adam's eyebrows rose.

"I wasn't aware of that."

"She told your secret to the entire school."

"The Anti-Grapevine did that."

"She ripped your shirt open in the middle of a school hallway and showed everyone you're secret, why aren't you pissed that I hooked up with her?"

"Because you're my brother." Adam said simply and Drew's mouth instantly closed, the retort stuck in his throat. "I mean; if you want me to scream and get all emotional I can. But I think you should be more worried about how Alli's going to react."

"But…" Drew said, dumbfounded.

"Did you think I'd turn my back on you because of one simple mistake?" Adam asked, starting to sound offended.

"I-"

"Andrew; you've stood by my side ever since you met me. No matter what choices I made you stood by my side. Even when mom and dad didn't accept me as Adam; you did. After all the times we've had to move because of me you don't seem to care at all. Why would I shun you from my life because you hooked up with one of Degrassi's hottest girls? Yeah; she ruined my secret. Yeah; she's a slut. But it's not like I'm going to judge you because of one little mistake." Drew stared at Adam throughout the whole speech.

"You're not mad?"

"Not really. I'm kind of disappointed that you'd cheat on Alli when I worked so hard to get the two of you together," Adam smiled smugly, "I just hope you realize that this could ruin your relationship." Drew's happiness faded away and he frowned.

"I know… how could I have been so stupid?" he mentally kicked himself.

"Don't beat yourself up about it," Adam said, not liking it when his brother was upset. "Everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure if you talk things out with her it'll all be ok." Drew forced a smile.

"Thanks Adam."
