This is a one shot suggestion by haafan about Kyle's bully turning up at Angelo's and starts taunting him. Brax and Heath overhear and make life hard for him while he's around. They try to get revenge on Kyle's behalf, hating what he went through with his bully, who realises they're not people to be messed with.


Kyle hadn't really been paying attention to any of the customers as he worked through his shift. It was a normal shift for him, taking drink orders at the bar, checking the stock wasn't running low, completing the books. Nothing was out of the ordinary. He'd even helped out by taking orders to their table. It wasn't until he was taking empty plates back to the kitchen that someone deliberately shoved into him, and the voice startled him.

"Oops."

"Drew." Kyle mutters.

He stood up to face him, his old high school bully. It wasn't someone he'd ever thought he'd have to see him again. He left his life in Melbourne behind, that's what he hoped anyway. Somehow his bully had found him, or it was just a coincidence that Drew was here at Angelo's and was now ruining his life all over again.

"Still the pathetic weakling you were in school. Now why don't you be a good teacher's pet and pick your mess up." Drew smirks.

"You're the reason I dropped them." Kyle lightly glares, feeling the eyes of customers on them.

"Go on Kylie, clean it up." Drew laughs before walking up to the counter to order a drink.

Kyle knelt down on the floor, going red in embarrassment. He was too lost in thought over Drew embracing him in front of all the restaurant and his staff, that he had even gone to sweep up the broken glass with his bare hands. It wasn't until Kayla grabbed him by the hand, breaking him from his thoughts, that he realised what he was actually about to do.

"Are you okay?" Kayla asks him.

"Yeah, fine." Kyle mutters.

"Who is that jerk?" She asks him.

"Someone I never thought I'd see again. Are you okay serving him? I've got to clear this up and then fill some paperwork out." Kyle says.

"Sure, go take some time out. I'll try and get rid of him sooner for you." Kayla says.

"Thanks." Kyle lightly smiles as she walks over to the bar to deal with Drew.

After clearing the broken glass up, Kyle went into the office to sort some paperwork. He was too embarrassed to go back out into the main room again, but he knew he had to as he still had a while left on his shift. By the time he walked out into the main room, he saw Drew sitting at one of the tables finishing off a pizza. Kayla went over to let him know that he wouldn't leave and someone else had ended up serving him as she was needed somewhere else.

"My shift actually ended an hour ago, is it okay if I head off now?" Kayla asks.

"Yeah, you go. I'll make sure you get paid for the extra time." Kyle says, thanking her as she gets her things to go.

"Oi Kylie, get me the manager." Drew stares at him as he walks up to the bar, noticing Kayla had left.

"I am the manager." Kyle says.

"Yeah right. Whoever owns this place must be brain dead to let a waste of oxygen run this place." Drew laughs, startling slightly as someone slams books down on the bar next to him.

"Who the hell are you?" Brax glares, and Kyle knew it wasn't good that his brother overheard that.

"Who are you?" Drew glares back, turning to face him.

"You're worst nightmare if you don't tell me how you think you can talk to my brother, and the manager of my business, like that and get away with it." Brax hisses.

"That goes for both of Kyle's big brothers." Heath glares from the side, and Kyle wondered where he came from as he hadn't noticed him before.

"Start talking or appreciate your last breaths." Brax warns, and he couldn't help but smirk as fear creeped across Drew's face.

"Maybe do both, I haven't let loose on anyone for a while." Heath says, Brax nodding in agreement.

"I… I didn't mean it, I really… I'm sorry, I'll go." Drew stutters, racing out of the restaurant.

"I've never seen him that speechless!" Kyle scoffs.

"Who even was that?" Heath asks as he takes the few steps to the bar.

"No one." Kyle shakes his head, not wanting them to find out.

"Well you better start talking cause now I'm wound up." Brax says.

"You'll just see me as a loser, and I really can't handle more of that today." Kyle says, thinking of ways to get rid of them, but he knew none of them would work when they were like this.

"Just tell us, Kyle. We're not letting this go until you do." Heath says.

"Weren't you like him once?" Kyle asks.

"Like him how?" Brax asks.

"You bullied people in school. I heard you all talking about it with Casey once. That's why I can't tell you because we're completely different because I was on the other end of the bullying compared to you." Kyle sighs.

"What's that got to do with that guy?" Heath asks.

"He bullied me in school with his deadbeat friends. I was a small, weak and pathetic kid, and they were the big popular guys who everyone loved." Kyle says. "Nothing I can't handle."

"Looked like it. " Heath mutters, never having thought Kyle would have been a victim of bullying, and now he felt kind of bad about when he bullied people, cause Kyle had to go through being the victim to it.

"I can, I'm not in school anymore." Kyle says.

Flashback

"Hey guys look, it's the geeky freak." Drew laughs along with his group of friends, seeing Kyle walking towards the lockers. "I say we have some fun before the teachers turn up and make us go to class."

"Sounds like a great plan." Joey smirks, all of them walking over to Kyle.

"What's up geek boy?" Drew says as he slams Kyle's locker shut, nearly trapping his fingers inside.

"Nothing much." Kyle mutters, feeling like the group of bullies towered over him as they stood around him.

"We've got homework due tomorrow, get it done." Drew says as they all shove their homework at Kyle's face.

"I can't do all this!" Kyle gasps, seeing there was at least 10 different bits of homework, and he had his own homework to do on top of that, even if it was only just given to him for the next week.

"If you don't do it, we'll make your life hell right until the end of year 12, and that's a very, very long time away." Joey glares, Drew slamming his fist into Kyle's gut, causing him to drop the homework as he grasps his stomach.

"Ah!" Kyle cries in pain.

"That's a warning, now get our homework done for tomorrow or you're going to get a lot worse than that every single day until the end of school." Drew hisses in Kyle's face.

"And it won't be just from us." Joey smirks, elbowing Kyle in the face when they walk past, leaving a harsh red mark on his cheek.

End of Flashback

"He made my life hell for the whole of school, whether I deserved it or not. Now is the time I can prove that I'm not the same pathetic kid I was in school." Kyle explains.

"Well he should know better than to come around here again after that." Heath says, noticing the wallet on the bar, so looked at the ID. "Well the moron left this behind, take this as compensation." He smirks, taking the stack of cash out of it and handing it to Kyle.

"Heath, you can be arrested for that. It's theft!" Kyle complains.

"As the owner of this joint, I never saw that stack of cash in the wallet when it was found. Someone could have taken it before handing it in." Brax says, smirking at his brother as he takes the wallet to put in the lost property box.

"I don't know who would do such a thing." Heath says, forcing it into Kyle's hand. "We never saw a thing, did you?" He stares at him.

"We could give it back to him. Or would you prefer his bullying to be for nothing?" Brax asks.

"I guess not, no." Kyle shakes his head, shoving it into his wallet before Drew would come back up and see. "But stealing from my former bully isn't the worst crime you could do." He lightly smiles.

"Take the rest of the afternoon off, I'm keeping this place shut to get some things sorted out." Brax says.

"Sure." Kyle nods as he walks around the bar.

"Great, you can help me with a few things in the gym." Heath says, dragging Kyle down there.


Brax was working through a few things in the office before going back out to get the books to see how far Kyle got with them. He decided to stay out there a while and was sitting on one of the bar stools checking through the books when he heard someone walking up the stairs. When he turned to see who it was, he couldn't quite believe who was standing in the doorway staring back at him.

"You've got nerve coming back up here alone." Brax glares at Kyle's former bully.

"I've lost my wallet and was wondering if I left it here." Drew says, knowing he had to be careful around the eldest Braxton.

"One was handed in earlier, this it?" Brax asks, taking it from the tray on the side of the bar before holding it up.

"Yeah, that's it." Drew nods, taking it from him. "Where's my cash?" He asks, shooting his gaze to him.

"Wouldn't know. Can't trust anyone these days." Brax says, faintly smirking. "Just call it karma for thinking you can bully my brother and get away with it. Kyle may not have been here when he was a kid, but he's here now and if you even think about looking in his direction, I'll put you six feet under. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes." Drew quickly nods before deciding to leave, bumping into Heath, Kyle and Casey as they walk up, blocking the entrance out.

"Look who it is, Kyle." Heath smirks. "I think he may have a little crush on you, I can't see any other reason for him coming to your place of work twice in one day."

"I just came to get my wallet." Drew says, wanting to leave but they were all in his way.

"That's a convenient excuse. It also explains why he was here for a while this morning when he lives in Melbourne." Kyle says, glad he was now able to stick up for himself, and he loved seeing his former bully suffer at the hands of his brothers.

"That's not just a crush, he loves you. Otherwise he wouldn't have come all this way." Casey says, all of them laughing at how red Drew was going.

"Can you let me pass?" Drew mutters.

"What was that?" Heath mockingly asks.

"Just move already!" Drew shouts.

"Don't think you can boss me about." Heath hisses as he takes a threatening step forward. "Now don't you have something you want to say to my brother?"

"Him?" Drew scoffs, staring at Kyle.

"Yeah, him." Heath says.

When Drew shakes his head with a chuckle, Heath pounced forward and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck. Brax walked around the bar as Kyle debated getting Heath off his bully, but neither did anything to stop him. Drew refused to give in and apologise to Kyle for putting him through hell for many years, but Heath wasn't going to give in first either.

"You can either do this the easy way, or the hard way. You choose." Heath hisses, tightening his grip.

"Fine, I give, I give!" Drew says, shoving himself away from Heath's grip before turning to Kyle. "I'm sorry for being such a dick towards you in school, and for shoving you earlier. I'm leaving today, so you won't have to worry about seeing me for a while." He says.

"Nah, I don't want you ever coming back here again." Kyle says. "Thanks for the apology, but I don't accept it. You made my life hell, but I'm not letting you do it any longer. Now get out of our restaurant and never come back, you're banned." He smirks.

"Fine." Drew mutters, rushing out as Kyle moves out of the way for him.

"Good riddance." Heath says before walking up to the bar. "You good now bro?" He asks Kyle.

"A lot better now he's gone. Thanks for not giving in to him." Kyle says.

"Just remember you're better than him. He obviously thinks the same, else he wouldn't have ran out of here so fast." Brax smirks.

"Well I'm just glad he's finally gone. Now I can go back to living my life knowing he's not going to rock up and make my life hell again." Kyle says. "Thanks for sticking up for me with him, even though I thought I could handle him. I think he'd know better than to come around here again after seeing you two at him." He smiles, glad he had his brothers around, he just wished they were around when he was a kid, not that it mattered to him now.
