Disclaimer: I don't own anything. P.S. I'm very mad at Mr Brady after watching the E4 episode today. I mean, let them be together! This is only a short one. A little bit fluffy. Enjoy!

The Consequences Of Loving Brendan Brady

Chapter 21: Forgive Me.

Brendan's POV

It's been three days.

Three agonising days.

Three days since I saw Stephen's innocent face, after Danny took him and hurt him.

It's been three days since Warren killed Danny Houston. And since then my head hasn't stopped spinning. I know that he deserved what he got, Danny I mean, but the consequences he left behind are really taking a toll. Warren keeps reminding me to keep quiet, or we'll both go down. But my mind has been only set on Stephen. He hasn't come back to work since the night he left. Cheryl asked me if he said anything. So me and Warren told her the truth, well kind of. We agreed on saying that Danny had gone mad, which is true but we didn't tell her why. And Stephen was in the wrong place at the wrong time. And when she asked where Danny was I told he ran off after we stopped him. She believed me and didn't bring it up. Although she did say she went to see Stephen. She said he was all right, that his bruising has gone and he would be back next week.

Warren also said he saw Stephen, he explained to him what we have told people, but Foxy told me that he was pretty shook up. And he barely spoke when he was there. That was when I decided that I have to see him right now.

"Stephen." I shouted as I knocked on his door. I know he's in, I checked the whole village first, but he's not answering the door. It's like he's ignoring me. Well knocking isn't going to work. I walk over to his window, and see him, boiling the kettle, and I knock on the window. "Stephen will you please open the door." I said through the window. "It's open." I heard his voice mumbled. I ran over back to his door and opened the door. "What are you doing here Brendan?" He whispered. I realised he was so fragile after what happened to him. "I came to see how you were." I said walking closer to him. "Thought Cheryl and Warren would have told you." He said. His voice was barely audible. "Stephen what did Danny do to you?" I asked him as it has been the only question since I saw him tied to the chair. "I don't want to talk about it." he said too quickly. "Please Stephen, I need to know." I begged him. He sighed and turned to face me. "He kidnapped me in the middle of the day, then I woke up in the cellar, and he beat the hell out of me. But you know what the worst part of it was." He said getting angrier. "What?" I asked him. "He told me that it was all your fault." I froze. Damn Danny! He really knows how to ruin a life. "D-Do you?" I asked him. He shrugged. "Should I?" He replied. "I didn't want to get you involved with him." He looked angry. "So I should blame you." He said angrily. He started ranting on how angry he was. Demanding I tell him why it was my fault it all happened. But all of his questions weren't responding with my mind. "Will you say something!" He shouted at me. I just leaned forward and kissed him to shut him up. He pulled away for breath. "What was that for?" He asked. "Forgive me?" He nodded and kissed me this time. I push him to his bedroom. "Talk later, Sex now."

That's all.

I know it's short but my last chapter was quite serious so I thought a little fluff was needed.

I promise to upload soon. And I'm really taking my time with 'My Dilemma' because I don't want to rush everything. Plus it will stop me writing two very similar stories.

Please review and tell me what you think.

Thanks.
