Brian/Hyde's P.O.V

I was out walking around town running errands when I heard my name being called out and turned to see Candy standing outside a shop.

"Are you okay? You look like shit" She smiled softly as she walked in my direction.

" I've been dealing with my version of Hyde" I leaned against the wall as I felt myself get lightheaded all of a sudden.

" That's right Melody filled the girls in on everything, That's why I'm here".

" Yeah, but I've been dealing with it alone. My version is too violent to have Freddie around" I put my hand to my head as I began to see stars.

"Okay let's go before you pass out".

" Thank you".

We walked back to my flat and once we got inside she put me on the sofa I began to feel even more ill when we heard the door open and then

"Knock knock, it's just me I forgot something" Freddy's voice rang in my ears.

I could feel my body burning up and became delirious.

"Is there a thermometer and where do you keep it?".

"It's in the medicine cabinet in our bathroom".

I tried calling out for Freddie but my words were slurred. Freddie knelt at my side to comfort me while keeping a slight distance in preparation in case Hyde came out.

"What does it say?" Freddie asked

"It's 102°. I suggest that you grab whatever you came here for and leave because I have a terrible feeling that Hyde will come out and I can't risk you getting injured. I do have a few ideas on how to combat that but I don't think I can do it in this current condition.".

I reached out to Freddie and said. "Freddie don't go please stay".

Freddie turned to Candy and then looked back at me. " I wish I could honey, but I can't I'm sorry" He kissed me on the forehead as my vision continued to get blurry and I could only make out his figure going into the kitchen.

"Oh before you go. What is the strongest alcohol you have? I'm asking because I think I have an idea that may work".

That's when I heard Ferdie walk back into the room. "The strongest alcohol that we have is Jack Daniel's. Is there anything else?".

"No, I'm sorry Freddie I wish we could've met under the circumstances please give Jency my love for me".

" I will yes same here darling but we just can't catch a break, Can we?".

" Unfortunately no, but just hang in there this won't be over soon I can promise you that much".

Freddie sighed as I heard him walk out of the flat before I lost consciousness and shortly regained it after then going on a complete rampage.

"And I guess we are doing this now" Candy mumbled under her breath before grabbing a syringe full of a clear unknown liquid.

"What are you going to do with that? Are you going to inject me?" I put my hands on my hips.

"No, but I am going to do this" She grabbed me by the hair and pulled me down onto the floor shoving the syringe in my mouth.

As Candy injected the clear liquid into my mouth, it immediately tasted like pure alcohol. And the last thing I heard her say was.

" Sweet dreams Hyde and my apologies Brian I will explain everything later when you come to I promise but it had to be done" before I blacked out.

I woke up hangover with Candy standing over me wetting my forehand with a wet hand towel. It relieved the tension and I began to feel better.

"What did you give me?"

"I gave you Everclear. But just a small dose to test on Hyde."

"Well for the time being I believe it's working but I feel ill and the sense for Hyde's surge to still come back out."

"Be prepared for a higher dose if Hyde does reappear."

I began to vomit from the Everclear and it continued to get worse through the evening.

"That's it I got you Bri" Candy's voice rang in my ears as I had my head in the toilet.

After dry heaving, I lifted my head and wiped the vomit from my lips with a towel.

"I think I need to lay down" I put my hand on my head.

"Okay let's get you in bed before I make you some tea".

And so with that, we got off of the bathroom floor and walked into the bedroom where I crawled into bed before Candy left me alone to put the kettle on for some tea to help with my nausea. But, quickly returned with a mug of hot peppermint tea in her hands.

"Here you go Brian this will help with your nausea and other symptoms that you may have".

"Thank you can you do this?".

"But I wanted to you have been handling this ordeal by yourself for too long".

"I know, and thank you again if there's anything I can do let me know".

"I will don't worry, but in the meantime, try to get some rest out of the mess that you left behind in the living room. After taking a couple of sips of the peppermint tea, I laid down and fell asleep for the rest of the day.


A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the long wait I've been dealing with a slight case of rider block while trying to update as much as I can. As of now, I'm currently writing an AO3 exclusive story, so my mind is sort of preoccupied with that, so that may explain why my chapters might be slightly shorter than usual. I hope you understand and I will try to get back on track after the holidays.
