Sonny felt Brian's hands around his arms gripping them tightly and he just froze. He didn't know what to do and he kept flashing back to that night when things had gone so wrong. He saw the smirk on the other man's face and all Sonny wanted to do was run. He went to finally pull away but his rapist kept a firm grip on him so tight that it was bruising making him remember all that this man had done to him.

"Where do you think you are going?" Brian said a smirk stuck firmly on his face.

"Let go of me," Sonny said so weakly it sounded like a whisper and he tried to pull his arms out of the other man's grip.

"I don't think so. You and I have some unfinished business Sonny," the blue eyed man told him.

Sonny didn't say a word instead he found himself starring into blue eyes but they were not the ones he loved or wanted. Brian's eyes were more of a grey blue with a green hint to them and they were cold. Will's blue eyes were like an ocean making him want to get lost in them because he knew he would be safe and loved.

"We don't have anything to talk about Brian not after what you have done to me. Now get away from me," Sonny yelled struggling against the hold he found himself in.

"He said to let go of him," a cold voice ordered.

Sonny nearly sobbed in relief when he found that the person rescuing him was Chad. He didn't know if it was the fact that his friend was a DiMera or the fact he was not somebody to be messed with but it was enough to make Brian let go of him. He curled in on himself seeing the look in Brian's eyes as he watched away knowing that he was never going to give up. Sonny found himself unable to look up into his friend's eyes knowing that Chad would want answers, ones that he did not think he could give.

"Sonny you need to tell me what is going on," Chad begged knowing that it wasn't anything good.

"It's nothing," he tried to throw out but his friend was not having any of it.

"Sonny it is not nothing. I have seen the way that you have deteriorated in the past couple weeks. You've lost weight, you flinch when someone grabs you and so many other things that the list just goes on. You are my best friend Sonny and I can only help you if you tell me what is going on," Chad told his friend wanting to wrap him in his arms and help him because something was wrong with his friend he could see it.

"You would hate me once you knew so just stop," the dark eyed man tried to protest knowing that it was a weak argument but he was afraid.

"My father has done more things than I can even fathom but I will never truly hate him. Nothing you tell me will make me hate you," the young DiMera tried to reassure his friend.

"I was raped. He raped me and I wasn't strong enough to stop him," Sonny finally broke sobbing.

Chad felt himself tense once the words were spoken knowing immediately who his friend was talking about. He felt red fill his vision and wanted to go find Brian making him pay but then he saw the way that his friend was sobbing like he had nothing left to live for and he knew that killing Brian would have to wait. He carefully wrapped his arms around Sonny hating that his friend flinched at the touch but just as Chad was about to pull away Sonny seemed to melt into the embrace sobbing his heart out. Chad knew one thing and that was Brian would pay for what he had done even if it was the last thing he ever did.

~Sticks and Stones~

Chad sighed knowing that he would probably not be welcomed in the Kiriakis mansion but he had to try. Victor was just as powerful as his father and if anyone would be able to help him take down Brian then it would be the Kiriakis Patriarch. He knocked on the door and sighed seeing that it was Henderson that answered.

"I need to see Victor. Tell him it concerns Sonny and that it's important," Chad said before the butler could say anything else.

"Wait here," the butler ordered leaving him in the entrance.

Chad was nervous hoping that this wasn't a mistake but he had to take a chance because Sonny mattered and no one should have to go through what he did. He clenched his fists trying to reign in his anger because he had to be smart about this. This couldn't be like last time when he tried to get even with Gabi when he spun out of control like a freight train. This time he had to be smarter because Sonny was more important and this mattered. He followed Henderson in and saw the glare that Victor sent him but he ignored it determined to find justice for his friend.

"What business does a DiMera have with me?" Victor asked curious but also trying to be polite since he knew that this was Sonny's friend and he hadn't really given him much reason to be suspicious of him.

"I need your help making sure that Sonny is safe," Chad began with knowing that would catch the older man's attention.

"And pray tell how is Sonny in danger to begin with?" Victor ordered his voice cold but also showing his anger.

"There's a man. His name is Brian and I don't know his last name but he hurt Sonny. A couple of weeks ago he did something unforgivable to Sonny and now he's tormenting him. Sonny has lost weight, he barely sleeps let alone eats and he flinches from everyone's touch," Chad explained.

"I suggest you tell me the whole story now Chad," the Kiriakis Patriarch ordered.

Victor listened and felt himself grow angry at the words that were spoken. He stood tall but a part of him wanted to cry for the tragedy his grandnephew was going through. He narrowed his eyes and growled swearing that this Brian was going to regret the day he crossed the Kiriakis family.
