A/N: I know that it's been a while since I have updated but I'm back with a new chapter... Please try to remember that I write for other fandoms as well so the updates will be slow... Not only that I am in quite a bit of pain with my back, hip, and pelvis and I can't sit up for too long at once without wanting to scream in pain... So enjoy!

Once they had a plan, executed it, and had Brenda settled into one of Valerie's spare bedrooms where she was asleep once more Dylan walked over to where Brandon was standing and punched him hard in the face. When he was sure that he had Brandon's complete attention along with everyone else's he said "Brandon, I love you like a brother but right now I can honestly say that I almost hate you. I get that you were trying to protect Brenda but you fucking knew that she always thought that I should be with someone like Kelly instead of her. Why in the fuck would you think that you could use her insecurities against her and expect her to come out of it unscathed? You could have just flat out told her the truth and more than likely she would have listened to you because she had already been hurt so fucking much. I just don't understand how you could say most of what you did! Why in the fuck would you even think to tell her that you wished that she didn't exist? Why make her feel that everything was her fault? Didn't you stop to think that by making her feel that way that she more than likely would have shut herself off from ever trying to date again? Are you that damn stupid, man?"

Brandon sighed and rubbed a hand down his face. "Dylan, I know that I hurt her but how in the hell was I supposed to know that my words would affect her so damn much?"

Dylan shook his head and glared at Brandon. "I don't know, man, maybe the fact that when she found out that Kelly and I had been together when she came back from Paris that she stopped eating for a week? How else did you think that she would take your words especially since you couldn't bring your self absored ass to visit her more than once a year and you didn't even call to wish her a happy birthday on your guys birthday? I think that part of you meant what you said, Brandon, because you sure acted like you didn't even have a twin after she left before you said everything that you did to her. I'm telling you here and now that you are not to be left alone with Brenda until you two work shit out. I will NOT take the chance that you will upset her again when it is the very last fucking thing that she needs. I suggest that you think long and hard about what you did because from where I'm standing you don't deserve to be forgiven regardless if you were only trying to protect her or not. She could have fucking died and if she would have then that would have been on your hands. It's a fucking miracle that she even trust any man after what you did, what I did, and what the fucker who is stalking her did. You broke her, Brandon! You broke her so completely that she felt like her only choice was to die. How can you live with that? How can you come back from that? If you know of a way to come back from that then tell me because right now I'm not sure I can come back from that and I'm not the one who made her feel like she needed to die!"

Kelly who had been standing beside shook her head as she looked from Brandon to Dylan and back to Brandon. "Brandon, I have to agree with what Dylan said. I know that you were trying to protect Brenda, honey, but did you really think that your words wouldn't have repercussions? Did you think that it was okay to say the shit that you did just because you were trying to protect her in a misguided way? I love you, Brandon, but damn it you broke someone who was already broken. You had no problem breaking Brenda even further and that is not okay. If you wouldn't have told her that none of us liked her maybe when she first started getting stalked she would have come to one of us so that we could help her but instead she has been dealing with it on her own because she felt like she didn't have anyone that she could trust to help her with what she was going through. Because of your words and actions she even pretty much closed your parents out and don't even try to say that you didn't know that because the reason I know is that I heard both your mom and dad telling you that Brenda no longer visits them and that she only calls them maybe once a month if that sometimes. Did you not think about your parents at all when you made Brenda feel like she shouldn't have been born? You are a journalist for heaven's sake so you know the power that words can have on someone! Where was your brain at when you saw Brenda for the last time five years ago? Did you leave them back here in Beverly Hills?"

Brandon groaned as he heard Kelly's words. He wished that he could ignore both his wife's word and his best friend's words but he knew that they rang true. "I know that I hurt Brenda and that I have to make it up to her. I know that I'm sorry isn't going to cut it with her. I honestly didn't think about what affect my words would have on her. I just couldn't stand to have her near when it was so clear that she was hurting. And, yeah, maybe I was thinking of myself more than her but I can't change that now. I can't go back in time and take my words back. The only thing I can do is try to make it up to her or at least maybe start over with her. I know that I will need to sit down and have a long talk with her and I will when she is ready for it. I know that even though she agreed to come home with me that it was because she was scared and not because she wanted to be close to me. Do you really think that I don't see the pain in her eyes when she looks at me? Do you really think that I don't see that it is killing her to be anywhere near me right now? None of you can hate me for what I did as much as I hate myself. I never meant for her to try to die no matter what I said to her."

Dylan sighed. "Look, man, it isn't going to be easy but you need to fix what you broke. I love Brenda, I always have and I always will and it kills me to see her the way that she is. I won't have her hurt anymore than she already is and that includes from you or anybody else. From now on Brenda comes first no matter what. So tonight think about what you have caused and then let me know what you plan to do in order to fix it because unless Brenda says otherwise you're not getting near her anytime soon. Now if you all will excuse me I'm going to go watch the love of my life sleep just so that I can be near her. It's been a long five years and I finally have her back within reach so I don't plan on letting her out of my sight for any longer than I have to. I will see you all tomorrow morning."

With that said he walked out of the Valerie's living room and made his way to the room that Brenda was in. He kicked off his shoes and took off his shirt before he climbed into the bed and gently pulled her into his arms. He wasn't sure how long he watched her sleep for but at some point he drifted off to sleep with her secure in his arms.
