Enjoy the chapter.)

The mortician stumbled back, and dropped the knife. He quickly rushed over to the phone and called for the emergency team.

Zak dropped back onto the autopsy table in much pain. He'd never felt so much pain before, then again, he'd never been beat up before either. He groaned as he tried to sit up, but the mortician gently kept him down.

"Don't move now, son. You need your rest, you've been through a lot..."

The people at the CSI building were very nice to Zak, they cleaned his wounds and monitored his health as his parents were contacted. They took his statement and with that new information, they were able to make all the necessary arrests.

(End flash back)

As Zak told his story, he left out one part of the rape…the fact that he enjoyed it. He made it sound like the most horrible experience ever, when it was really the part about getting beat up.

Zak shook his head, tears starting to trickle down his cheeks, and Dib was just spellbound at his story.

Dib had thought he had it bad, he had never thought that someone else had it worse…He felt so bad for Zak…

"Zak, I'm so sorry…I…I never thought…" he reached out a hand and placed it on Zak's shoulder.

Zak cringed, but otherwise didn't do anything. He just put his palm and his forehead and just wept.

Dib went out on a limb and pulled Zak close to him. Zak's whole body stiffened at the action, but eventually relaxed. Zak still wept, and he allowed Dib to hold him, it didn't matter, no one was watching. Besides, he was bi, so he really didn't mind.

"Not all gay or bi people are predators or rapists…" said Dib softly. He then took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm bi…"

Zak pulled away and looked at him, "And all this time I thought you were strait…"

"To a degree at least." shrugged Dib.

Zak hurriedly wiped his eyes and his face so they were devoid of tears.

"Thank you…for listening…" said Zak in a shaky voice, "I just…just needed to tell someone…and you just remind me so much of D…"

"But I thought D betrayed you…" said Dib.

"Yes…he did…but he was put away just like the rest of those bastards…but he was just a tool for them…he only got off with 2 years in juvey…" said Zak, "I'm sure he's getting his there…" he sighed, "I never forgave him, and when I met you, I treated you like I would him…that's why I made your life a living hell for the first few weeks…"

Dib smiled and patted Zak's shoulder. "Don't worry about it, I was pretty cruel to you when you first came as well…"

"Yeah, thought I was the psycho alien you're always obsessing over!" chuckled Zak.

"Oh, shuddup!" joked Dib, lightly shoving Zak, "I've given up on the hunt. He'll pretty much just destroy himself."

"Are you sure about that?" questioned Zak.

"Yeah, he's that stupid…" said Dib, "Well, I should get going. Thanks for inviting me. See ya on Monday." He said as he picked up his stuff and started walking up the stairs.

"Alright, see ya." called Zak. He fell back and stared at the ceiling. He had no idea why he told Dib all that…he hadn't told anyone, hell, the last person he'd talked to about it was the CSI…He heaved a sigh. He'd tried so hard to forget that incident, but now that he had thought about it, it seemed s fresh in his mind. It didn't prove anything, he was still interested in girls…but it bugged him, that he lost his virginity to guy…but what really bugged the hell out of him is that he liked it. He liked it. Truth be told, he didn't really remember all that much about what happened. He sat up and looked around. The basement. He couldn't go down to a basement for so long. The first time in nearly a year…He smiled and walked upstairs to get some snacks.
