thanks for the reviews guys... you guys were great!! and it seems like that you all wanted a BD reunion... let me think about that ok? LOL... meanwhile i'll give you another chapter... thanks guys!!

It's bee a week since Brenda left Beverly Hills, they all continue their works and kept themselves busy to take their mind off of their problems. Erica went back to school, just like the others she kept herself occupied by school works. Kelly too went back to her job and tried talking to Dylan a couple of times but he wouldn't talk to her. Bane got so busy with the company and the club, he tried calling Brenda but she wouldn't answer to him, instead, Brenda would call Donna to tell him that KC is ok. By this time the gang knew that Brenda is with Iris, all except Dylan.

Dylan had gone back to drinking, the gang tried to talk to him, even Erica but he wouldn't listen, Brandon have to look after his auto shop because Dylan wasn't sober enough to run the shop most of the time. He was out every night drinking himself to sleep, ever since Brenda left he did a lot of thinking, and regret everything he had done to Brenda.

"why are you always right Bren?" he said to no one, he was at his room with a bottle of beer in his hand "why didn't I fight for you back then… I'm so stupid…I killed my child.. I caused you so much pain…" before he knew it he was falling asleep with Brenda in his mind.

At the casa Walsh the trio was having dinner when they thought about Dylan, "I tried talking to him.. but he wont listen.." Brandon said obviously frustrated about the situation

"So what are we gonna do?" Shae asked

"You know what if there's anybody who can get through Dylan it's Brenda.." Val said

"I know, but she's not here and we don't even know if Brenda would be ok with helping Dylan, I mean they didn't even have time to talk about what happened.." Brandon said

"Yeah but knowing those they only need one night.." Val was cut off by Brandon

"Val.."

"Let me finish ok? They just need one night of talking.." she finished giving emphasis on 'talking' "come on you know those two, together or not they still have their way into each others.. Admit it.. They have this strong connection that not even us have with either of them, considering that we're their bestfriend and you are her twin brother…"

"ok I get the point.." Brandon said letting a small laugh at Val's reasoning "and I hate to admit it but you're right, those two were almost like one, and I never know anybody who could get through Dylan except Brenda, and I never knew anybody who accepted my stubborn sister like Dylan did…" Brandon said laughing

"ok how about we try one last time before we get Brenda?" Shae speak

"yeah.. I think that's great let's try to talk to him again…" Val agreed

Back in Hawaii Brenda had a wonderful week, Iris and her had a lot of talking after that night, she cope up with the 'beach people' and enjoyed their company as well, she was always at Iris store, she made several charm bracelets necklaces made of sea shells and gems. She had called the gang several times just to stop them from calling her. She too did a lot of thinking, she realized that despite of everything she still wanted to be with Bane and she didn't want KC to grow up without a father. Bane had probably called her a million times since she left, she wanted to answer him but she wasn't ready but after a week of thinking and being away from him, she thought she's ready to talk to him.

So when Bane called her later that morning she answered him

"Bren?"

"who else would it be.. you called me right.."

"yeah… right.. sorry…"

"what do you want?"

"I just missed you so much and KC too.."

"she misses you to.."

"she?"

"your daughter…"

"Bren.. can we talk? I mean really talk…"

"I've got time, so shoot.."

Bane sighs, "ok, first of, I really wanna say sorry for causing you so much pain Bren.. I really didn't mean it and I would never hurt you on purpose Bren you know that.."

"I know that…"

"I want you back Bren.. you and KC… come back to me Bren…"

"not that easy mister…we'll talk more when I get there ok?" Brenda was loosing up a little, she missed Bane, and she just doesn't want to admit it.

"are we ok?"

"let me think about it…"

"Bren…"

"Bane we'll be ok in time, but let it be my time ok? And don't push it… wanna talk to KC?"

"I'm dying…"

"ok hold on I'll put you on speaker…" she went beside KC and put the cell phone of speaker mode "ok daddy, I'm here…" Brenda said in her baby voice

"hey there princess, I missed you so much…" Bane said

KC giggled at the sound of her father's voice, she kept on looking around for him "aww honey.. he's not here…" Brenda said

"she's looking for me isn't she?" Bane said

"yeah.. she's looking around for you.."

"hey princess.. I'm here… but you can't see me now.. maybe mommy would bring you home soon so I can hug and kiss you…" Brenda smiled, she knew Bane's talking to her too. "don't you miss me princess?"

KC tried to answer him, as if she said yes "aww I missed you too princess.. I missed you and mommy so much…"

KC yawn, "hey squirt are you sleepy?" Brenda asked her daughter

"then let her sleep Bren… I'll call you back later…"

"ok.."

"Bren?"

"hmmm?"

"I love you beauty… I missed you so much…"

"ok… later.." Brenda said as quickly as she can then she hangs up.

She didn't know how can she possibly be with Bane again without thinking about what happened, but she knew Bane would never hurt her intentionally, she knew what alcohol can do to a person, it wasn't right but she can't do anything about it anymore, what's done is done as they say. She then decided to go back at Beverly Hills in 2 days.

Back in Beverly Hills, the gang meet up at the peach pit. "Hey... What 's the matter now?" Steve asked

"It's Dylan... He's been drinking since Brenda left..." Erica said

"What?" Donna and David asked in unison

Suddenly, Kelly came in "uhhmm, hi guys…" the gang just nodded at her, Val wanted to say something but Shae look at her and mouthed "let it go…"

"Have you heard?" Steve asked her

"Heard what?" Kelly asked back

"Dylan's been drinking for a week now…" Val said with duh tone

"Sorry.. I didn't know about that... I tried calling him but he won't answer…"

"I know... He left his cell phone on his room... I barely see him at home..." Erica said

"Let me talk to him..." Kelly said

"What makes you think he wanted to talk to you?" Val said

"Val... just let me talk to him… I think I still can get through him…"

Valerie and Erica rolls their eyes, "ok, Kel try to talk to him… you know where to find him right?" Brandon said before Val can say anything

Kelly wasn't sure but she didn't want to give Val another reason to talk to her like that, "uhhmm yeah…" she then stood up and heads out, but Andrea knew that she was lying, she went after her.

"Hey…" Andrea caught her before she open her car

"Hey…"

"uhmmm look I know you've enough on your plate right now.. I don't want to add at it, he's at home…"

Kelly sighs and hugs Andrea "thank you…" Andrea nodded and went back to the pit.

"I doubt he'll talk to her but the least she could do is to try to talk him.." David says

"ok… why don't we go to the casa Walsh and talk some more about it, I'll txt Kelly to go there after they talk.." Steve said, the gang nodded in agreement, as they all went out the pit and headed at the casa.

At Dylan's Place

Thanks to Erica the place is still neat and tidy, no sign of Dylan's drinking. She went to their room and slowly opens the door. There she saw Dylan lying on the bed, the room was littered with empty bottles of beer, clothes on the floor, and bed's obviously not been made for a week. She sighs, part of her knew that Dylan wouldn't talk to her but she have to try. She moves closer to Dylan and seated at the end of the bed, she's hesitating to touch Dylan, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath "Dylan…" she softly said as she touches Dylan's face

Dylan stirred at the touch of Kelly, he barely open his eyes "Bren?" he asked without looking at her

Kelly was hurt but didn't let it get into her "no Dylan it's me…"

Dylan look at her and sighs "what are you doing here Kel?"

"we need to talk…"

"talk about what?"

"everything… come on Dylan…look at yourself…"

"Kel have you heard of minding your own business?" Dylan snap at her

"ok how about everything else?"

"what about it? Wanna tell me what happened that night? I'm sure you enjoyed it.. Kel… I don't have to hear it, because I know you.."

"Dylan, that wasn't done in purpose… we were both drunk and you of all people knows what can alcohol do…"

Dylan rolls his eyes "Kel, I never slept with my friend's wife when I'm drunk…"

"I know what I did was wrong, and I can't take it back… but Dylan at least let us work this out…"

"I don't think so Kelly.. now if you would excuse me I've better things to do than talking to you…" he stood up and headed out

Kelly followed him "better things huh? Or are you gonna go to that pool bar and drink yourself to death?" she said

"none of your business Kel.. bye.." Dylan answered and leaving Kelly alone in the house

Kelly sighs, then she heard her cell phone, she read the message and went out of the house too.

"ok.. let me try to talk to him again…" Brandon said after Kelly told them what happened

"I hate it when Dylan's like this… he's been sober for years.." Andrea said

"I wish Brenda was here… " Erica said almost whispering but the gang heard her anyways

Brandon again tried to talk to Dylan, he wouldn't tell anything to Brandon and he wouldn't listen to him, he told him to leave him alone and stay out of his problems. Dylan told Brandon that even if he tells him what's going on she wont understand it and the only person that could probably understand him wasn't there. He obviously wanted to talk to Brenda, and Brandon knew that Dylan is just as stubborn as his sister, so he decided to leave him alone and hoped that Brenda would be there anytime soon.

Brenda called Valerie to tell her that she's going home tomorrow, Val almost jumped when she heard Brenda's news, she didn't tell Brenda about Dylan, she didn't know how to tell her about it. Brenda wanted her to pick them up at the airport and that she will stay at the casa Walsh for a while because Bane and her still have to talk about them.

The next day, Val and Brandon went to pick Brenda at the airport while the rest of the gang minus Kelly, Bane and Dylan, were all preparing for a little welcome back party, they weren't sure if Brenda would be receptive with the party but they thought that that's the least the could do for Brenda and KC.

At the airport

"Val!!" Brenda called

Val and Brandon turned to her and rushed towards her, Val hugs Brenda "oh god I missed you Bren.."

"I missed you too, but I kinda need to breath here…"

"oh yeah right sorry…" Val said pulling away

"but not as much as I missed you sis.." Brandon said hugging her too

"thanks guys.. but I'm kinda starving and I know you guys prepared a party for us so come on…"

Val laughs a little "you knew us that well?" she asked

"yes, and I think you guys have something more to tell me…" she carefully eyed them, and then she confirmed her suspicion, now she just have to wait till they get o the house and talk.

"we'll talk later…" Brandon said picking up his niece

"ok.. so come on…" Val said picking up some of Brenda's luggage

Back at the casa Walsh the gang heard a car pulled up and they knew it was Brandon, they all went to the front door and waited for them.

"welcome back!!1' they all said when Brenda opened the door

She smiled at them, she missed the gang and she felt guilty leaving them like that, they could've just talk about the problem instead she went away leaving them confused.

"thanks guys… I missed you all.." the gang went to hug and kiss her one by one saying I miss you to each other.

When Brandon came in with KC, the gang rush towards him to see KC. Brenda laughs "and here I thought that this party was mine…" she said jokingly

'of course its yours too… we just missed KC too.." Donna said kissing KC

"I can see that…" Brenda said laughing "now do you guys prepared something for me.. preferably food? I'm starving… you know how Iris is, we only ate only vegetables and fresh fruits…"

"say no more Bren.." Steve cut her off, as he place his arms around her shoulder "we.. especially me prepared a very special meal for you… come on.." he lead her at the kitchen

They all followed them, and together they all enjoyed the meal, Brenda was telling them her week long 'vacation' and everything about Hawaii. No one dared to open the topic that they've all wanted to talk with her, and Brenda being the ever cautious about her friend noticed it.

"spill it guys…" she said making everyone look at her.

"uhmmm Hannah and Erica why don't you put the kids up to my room.." Val said, she knew they were gonna have the 'talk'

Hannah and Erica obeyed Val, though Erica was hesitant at first but she knew she wouldn't win with her big sisters and big brothers.

When Erica and the kids were out of the kitchen, Brenda looked at her friends "come on guys.. what's the matter?"

"uhmmm see Bren… uhmmmm… " Donna couldn't finish whatever she wanted to say

"let me…" Val said "ok Bren, see Dylan's been drinking for over a week now… and we couldn't make him stop, not us, not Erica or even Kelly tried but we wouldn't listen…" Valerie said getting straight to the point

"what??" Brenda exclaimed "and no one bothered to tell me?"

"look Bren sorry we didn't tell you but we thought we could make him stop but we obviously thought wrong… and we were supposed to tell you but you beat us by telling us that you're going home…" Brandon said calmly

"and uh… Erica managed to get Dylan to go here now.." Val said

"what?" the gang chorused, they didn't know that

"are you thinking that I can talk to him and that he'll listen to me?" Brenda asked them

"yeah..i mean.." Val started but cut by the sound of the doorbell "shit.." she cursed

"what will I do… we haven't even talk about our problem and now I'm supposed to save him from drinking… again.." Brenda said

Brandon stood up and opened the door, when they came back to the kitchen, Dylan saw the whole gang and didn't even noticed that Brenda was sitting there with them.

"I knew it…" Dylan said, he knew that his friends wouldn't give up to him even if he said so. Then he noticed a familiar face that he's been wanting to see all week, 'its Brenda!!' his mind shouted, they both enter into trance, Brenda just looked at him, she honestly didn't know what to say, same with Dylan, he looked at her, their eyes says it all, but Brenda and the rest of the gang were shocked when Dylan stormed out of the kitchen and went out, later they heard his car sped off, and they all swear that they saw tears coming down from Dylan's eyes.

The gang was left confused "what the hell happened? Why did he run off?" Steve asked

Erica came down as she heard a car sped off "is that Dylan?" then she noticed the looks at the gang's faces, "what happened where is he?" she turned to Brenda "did he talked to you?"

"I'll go find him…" Brandon said

"no… I'll go talk to him… wait here…" Brenda said standing up and she went to Erica "I'll bring him back.. don't worry.." then she hugs her

"here use my car…" Steve handed Brenda his key

"thanks.." Brenda said, then headed out

"wait does she knows where Dylan would go?" Andrea asked

"she knew Dylan better than anybody else here… I know she knows where to find Dylan…" Erica answered before anyone could answer Andrea.
