A/N: Thanks for all the reviews…

Disclaimer: I don't own Beverly Hills 90210!

Dylan stayed at the Walsh house long after Kelly had left. He knew that he should probably leave but he couldn't. He also knew that he would probably get bitched at by Brandon and everyone else but right this second he didn't and couldn't care less. He needed to see with his own two eyes that Brenda was alright. He didn't care if Brenda or Brandon even said two words to him. He just needed to see for himself that nothing was seriously wrong with the woman he still loved.

He was sitting on the couch in the living room when the front door opened. He jumped to his feet and then stayed rooted to the spot as Brandon came in carrying Brenda in his arms. He felt anger come to the surface as he saw the cast on her arm. He growled low in his throat but obviously not low enough as Brandon's head shot towards him.

Brandon saw Dylan and he growled "What are you still doing here? I thought I told you and Kelly to both get out of my house!"

Dylan walked over to Brandon and before Brandon could say anything or stop him he took Brenda out of Brandon's arms and then said "Oh it's easy why I'm still here. Regardless of how much Brenda hates me she is mine. She always has been mine and she always will be mine."

Brandon couldn't help the smile that formed on his face as he looked at Dylan and said "Possesive much D?"

Dylan laughed at that and said "Just so you actually know the truth Brandon about what happened eighteen months ago I didn't actually sleep with Kelly. Well I did but that was because she kept giving me alcohol. She wouldn't let up and I was tired of listening to her whine about shit so I kept on drinking. She saw that it was Brenda calling me and answered the phone on purpose. I'm sorry man."

Brandon looked Dylan in the eyes and saw nothing but honesty there and nodded. "I believe you man but you may have your work cut out for yourself with Brenda. She loved you man and I know she still does. She'll sleep through the night because the Doctor gave her a sedative along with some pain medicines but she needs to be woke up every four hours. Donna's going to sleep in the room with her."

Dylan shot Brandon a look and then looked over at Donna and said "No offense Donna you can still sleep in her room but you get the cot bed. I'm sleeping in the same bed as Brenda."

Donna smiled at that and said "That is fine Dylan. I love you like a brother but you have really got to quit messing up so much. I heard what you said to Brandon and I can honestly say I believe you because I remember the day Kelly came in smiling like she knew something none of the rest of us did. Anyone with eyes can see that it's Brenda you want to spend your life with. Now I know why. I love Kelly but this feud she has going with Brenda really needs to stop."

At that Brandon's eyes snapped over to Donna and said "You knew that Kelly had slept with Dylan and didn't tell me?"

Donna shook her head no and said "No I didn't know she had slept with Dylan. I just knew she had done something but she never would tell me what."

Brandon nodded at that and looked at Dylan who was looking down at Brenda and he said "Why don't you get her into bed D? She has to be killing your arms by now. I know she doesn't weigh much but just from carrying her from the car to the house hurt my arms."

Dylan laughed and said "B that would be because she's a dead weight right now with being asleep. I don't feel her weight at all. It could be because I'm happy that she is in my arms. I will take her upstairs and put her to bed though. Then I think we all need to sit down and talk about what we're going to do with this Derek guy. You all should know just like I do that he's going to come back for her. He may not come back for her tonight but he will soon. He looked at her as if she was a possession and not a person."

Brandon nodded. "I agree that yes he did. As soon as I saw him walk in with Brenda something about him set my teeth on edge. We do need to come up with a plan."

Dylan nodded and looked at Donna. "If I get her in bed can you wake her up and help her change into something less restricting than what she is in? Will you stay with her while Steve, Brandon, David and me talk?"

Donna smiled and ran her hand over Brenda's head lovingly and said "Yes, I will Dylan. Let's go get our girl in bed. Then you can come back down and talk to Brandon, David and Steve. I won't wake her up until after you leave the room though. I think I'll let her find out when you wake her up next time around that you are here still."

Dylan laughed but before he said anything Brenda surprised everyone by saying in a sleepy voice "I know he's here. I woke up when he took me out of Brandon's arms. I can always tell it's Dylan from the way he holds me or touches me."

Everyone gasped and Brandon said "I can take you back from him if you'd like Sis."

Brenda sighed and snuggled further into Dylan and said "No it's fine. I know we're all going to need to sit down and talk but for right now its fine. I feel safe in his arms and I know that he won't let me get hurt. But before you men start talking I would like to get to bed. Donna can help me change and stay with me. But tomorrow I want answers."

Dylan smiled and bent his head and kissed Brenda on the temple and said "Tomorrow you'll get your answers. I'll take you up to bed now Bren."

Brenda hid her face in Dylan's neck and smiled. She loved the feeling of Dylan's arms around her. She felt safer in his arms than she had in a long long time. She knew that tomorrow they would have to talk about the past and talk about Derek but for now and for this minute she wanted to just enjoy and relish the feelings she had of being in Dylan's arms once again.

Dylan laid Brenda down on her bed gently and brushed his lips over hers and stood back up and said "I'll be back up later Bren. You let Donna help you change and then lay down."

Brenda gave Dylan a slight smile and a slight nod and watched as he left the room. Her heart rate finally slowed down some even though the smile never left her face. She let Donna help her change and never once in the time it took to get her changed and back into the bed did the smile leave her face.

AN: Hi all this is Randy. I edited this chapter for Crystal and the only thing I can think of to say is WOW. I know my sister is a great writer but this chapter actually touched my heart. She pours every ounce of anger, pain, and hurt that she feels into anything she writes and this chapter just blew me away. I hope that you all like this chapter when you read it as much as I liked it when I read it while editing. To the person named Me if you're going to review my sister's story will you please quit creeping her out?
