A/N: Thanks so much to LadyAlambielKnightofNarnia for her help on this story and to WillowDryad who gave me the idea for this story.

Disclaimer: I (Ashleigh) do not own Narnia. If I did I would be there not here writing about it. And I couldn't write about it and post it here because Narnia does not have internet. (Although it would be fun if it did there are some people I would love to talk too.)

"I can see why that would be hard, Cor." Edmund reached over and gently squeezed Cor's shoulder.

"Cor, I want you to know that we are here for you. I can't imagine how hard for you this must be." After this Peter was at a loss for words.

Cor just sat there. He didn't know what else to say. He was so ashamed of himself. And not only because of the fact that he cut and that Peter and Edmund had found out, but also because he was trembling with fear after their talk. He was so scared about what they would think, what people would think. He was grateful that they had tried to be so understanding, but he was still trembling with the remains of the fear of telling that had gripped him for so long. But now that it had come out, he was scared, but he was also relieved that someone finally knew. He was still scared though. What if they went to his dad? And then what about Corin? He wouldn't hurt them for anything in the world. They were his family. They had taken him in, even though he had been gone for so long and he didn't know them; they didn't really know him then either. Then he stopped his train of thought. And more importantly, did they even know him now? He had tried to be as honest as possible, but he knew that it would hurt his dad and Corin badly and he loathed the thought of doing that. But he did want his family to know him. He didn't want secrets anymore, he knew that. But that meant telling them the details of what had been done to him. He pulled back slightly at the thought.

Peter and Edmund were both looking anxiously at Cor. "Is everything okay Cor?" Edmund asked worriedly.

"I... I just... How am I going to tell Dad? And eventually Corin? And?" With that Cor began to cry silently.

Peter gently slipped his arms around Cor while Edmund started to rub Cor's back. He wasn't the best at it, but he had had some experience between the girls and Edmund, especially when they were younger. Cor just buried himself against Peter and cried.

While they had never done it formally, Peter and Edmund had pretty much started acting like brothers to him from the day he had met them. While they hadn't given him any advice yet, they seemed very protective of him and they were working so hard to make sure that he was okay. So now, as Peter pulled him close and Edmund was rubbing his back, he was really starting to feel as if he had two older brothers. So closing his eyes, he leaned a bit more against his 'brothers' and let himself cry.

A/N: I know, short but sweet, literally. But by finishing this up tonight, I should be able to spend tomorrow working on A Narnian Mystery, and Sunday on this again. Hopefully there will be another chapter of this up Sunday. Please let me know what you think. I got the idea for this chapter from a suggestion from WillowDryad. I really do try to make use of the reviewsI get. Constructive criticism welcome.

New Poll: Please vote and let me know what you think about chapter length.

A/N 2: Please check out my story on FictionPress. I would love to know what you think. It is a completed book, that I will be published soon, so I would love some feedback.

A/N 3: I feel that it is time for my readers to know where this story came from. Many of my reviewers already know. I struggled with this for 7 months before deciding to stop on July 4th. I have messed up a couple of times, but it has been 17 days (as of 8/31/12), and the feelings I wrote into this chapter for Cor was based on my experience of telling someone other than an online friend for the first time Wednesday. I hope this helps people and please feel free to talk to me if there is anything I can do.
