"Run!" I see the fear in his eyes, and I just want to stay there, but I know I can't. If it weren't for Zoe I would have stayed. I wish I had. I stumble out of the club as I hear screams.

I can't do this I have to go back. Gunfire goes off as I run back, I can't leave him in there. Just when I get close there's an explosion.

Oh God no!

"Mike!" I cry out as I jolt out of the nightmare. But it's not a nightmare, it happened three months ago. Sweat drips down my face, my hands shake as I let out a whimper.

I couldn't save him, he's gone just like Guilty Pleasure went up in smoke. The door swings open and Suzy comes rushing in. She takes in my appearance and pulls me into her embrace and I breakdown yet again. God, I'm such a pathetic mess.

"I got you sweetie."

"I loved him." I choke on a sob once again, as my heart aches. I see Benny standing at the door, and I hate seeing the pity in their eyes. As I wipe my eyes, I move out of Suzy's embrace.

"Can you watch Zoe? I just need to pull my shit together."

"Of course sweetie."

I give her a small smile and kiss her cheek.

"Thank you."

"Anytime Bry, you are family."

I almost break down but take a deep breath instead. I nod my head and go to my baby girl's room. I kiss her head lightly as not to wake her up. After kissing her cheek, I head out not even looking back. Benny calls after me, but I don't stop.

"Damn it Bry wait!"

I whirl around and glare at my best friend. I hate feeling anger towards him. But I hate the looks and the whispers when they don't think I'm listening.

"What Benny?"

"I'll go with you, I don't think you should be alone." He goes to put a hand on my shoulder but I slap it away. The hurt in his eyes almost has me cave but I can't. "I'm fine."

"No you're not Bry. Things will get easier with time."

I clench my hands into fist and remember he is my best friend. Why the fuck do people say that shit when people grieve? It's not something I need to hear right now.

"Easy for you to say." I laugh darkly at him. "You didn't lose someone you love. You can get Darcy back anytime you want. But Mike is fucking GONE!"

I wipe the tears falling from my face and take off before I say something else, I might regret. It killed me to see the pain expression on his face. As I drive away my hands shake. I need something to make me forget. The pain is too much for me. Not paying attention to where I'm going, I notice I am stopped right in front of a place I swear I never go back.

I swore to myself I wouldn't come back here again.

Taking a deep breath I get out of the car and walk to the front door. Before I can knock the door is thrown opened.

"Hell must have froze over. What the fuck are you doing here?"

"Nice to see you too dickhead." Travis throws his head back and laughs. "C'mon in." He steps aside and I walk in. I almost turn back around when I see the mess I walk into. There are people lounged out everywhere coked out of their minds.

Travis turns to look at me and smirks. "What's your guilty pleasure?" My lips tremble and I grab the collar of his shirt.

"What the fuck did you say?" I yell and he pushes me back and I stumble slightly. "Fucking chill man. I meant what's your drug of choice?" I take a deep breath and shake my head.

"Sorry man."

"Here take a hit of this." I take the joint and I know it has to be laced with something, but right now I don't care. I take a drag and hold it in as long as I can then let it out.

"How much?"

He gives me a coy smile. "I don't want your money this time." He takes a drag and grabs the back of my neck and brings his lips to mine. I pull back coughing but know I swallowed something as well.

"What the hell was that?"

"Something to make you feel real good."

"Asshole!" I glare at him and he chuckles, but then I start to feel weightless. "See it works quickly." His hand grabs my crotch through my pants a moan escapes my lips. If I was sober I'd push him away, but right now I don't care.

"You know how long I have been dying to get my hands on you." He says as he nibbles on my ear, rubbing his hand up and down my stiffening member. "Yo, Rick keep an eye on shit. I'm gonna go collect my payment." I hear laughter but I don't care.

I feel like I am floating through the air as I get pushed against something.

"Time to pay up Bry." I just moan again not even aware of what is going on. I feel joy then pain, joy then pain. It keeps repeating like that over and over again. "You love the pleasure and pain don't you?"

I just laugh the feeling feels so foreign. "I don't feel anything and I love it."

"You don't feel this?" I feel a sharp pain in my backside. "Fuck you feel so good." No, no, no. I have not had anyone touch me like this since him. I start to panic but then there was nothing again.

What the fuck did he give me? I'm lucid then I'm not. It repeats over and over again. I don't know if I'm happy or sad... I'm just numb. I guess I deserve this for being so stupid.

The pleasure and pain comes again. I faintly hear the banging of something. There is screams but is that coming from me or someone else.

"Stop! You're killing him."

Then there is nothing and everything fades to black.

***********
A/N: I know it's been awhile and of course I have to come back with a dark chapter.

I know, I know. What the hell was I thinking...right. Well I want to show the dark side of our beloved Bryan. Things will be a struggle for him, but we will see him grow from these struggles I promise.

I hope you enjoy it so far and I will start updating as often as I can. I can't promise weekly updates like I hop for but I will try my best.

Until next time
