Chapter16-Unintentional Unraveling

July 27th, 2011

 It's a few days later. 7th Anthem are having a week off before they do promotions. During this time, Andrew broke up with both Brandon and Alyson, and announced he's dating Justin. Brandon was pissed off; Bailey was furious; and both Alyson and Amanda were embarrassed.

 Brandon couldn't believe he was cheated on by Andrew twice. First with Alyson, then with Justin. He knew he freaked Andrew out by saying he loved him, but he didn't expect Andrew to sleep with two other people. The two got into an argument, and Brandon stormed out of the 7A condo.

 As soon as he left the condo, he called Melissa to meet with her. They soon met at a coffee-shop near his apartment.

 She asked him, "So, what's the problem? Trouble in paradise?"

 Brandon asked, "Did you know that Andrew was a man-whore?"

 Melissa gave a smirk. He was angered by this, so he asked, "You knew?!"

 She replied, "Oh, everyone in middle and high school knew Andrew was a whore. One time, he dated 4 girls at once. At the same time, he was with Alyson. He dated so many girls, but he never slept with them. He was too young for that then."

 Brandon was visibly frustrated. She noticed, so she stated, "He cheated on you with Alyson, didn't he?"

 "Not just with Alyson, but also with Justin."

 That surprised Melissa. She asked, "Justin?"

 "Yea, Justin. I mean, I never suspected him to be bi, or gay. He seemed very straight compared to Andrew."

 Melissa than gave another smirk as she said, "Well, apparently Andrew is bi. He likes both V and D. Your work is done."

 That stunned Brandon. He asked, "What do you mean my work is done?"

 "It means you've achieved what I paid you to do. You got Andrew bi. All he needs to do is turn gay so he'll never return to Alyson."

 "Leave Andrew alone. Let him decide on what he wants to be."

 Then Melissa took out her checkbook, and said sternly, "Cry all you want. I don't care. But I'm paying you 2000 pounds to keep quiet about this."

 Brandon grew irritable as he asked, "You're buying me off again? Why? Afraid of what Alyson will say about you plot to turn Andrew gay?"

 "That, and Andrew will go swing back to being straight if he finds out what you and I did."

 "You're so bent on turning Andrew gay. Are you that desperate keep him and Alyson."

 She snapped at him, saying, "You don't know what's really going behind closed doors! And I'm gonna keep it that way."

 Melissa then ripped out the check, and gave it to Brandon. She stormed out of the coffee-shop. Brandon felt like telling Andrew and Alyson the truth for several reasons. One, it was to get back at his ex-boyfriend for cheating on him with both Alyson and Justin. At the same time, he knew if he told the truth, Andrew will very likely go back with Alyson. He could see the two were soul-mates. If only the two would realize this fact.

 At the same, Brandon is aware that Melissa is still with Ethan. So she, and her boyfriend, might potentially destroy him. Is he going to do the right thing, and tell Andrew and Alyson the truth; or will he accept the check, and cower away?

 It's now evening. The 7A girls gathered in the living to talk. Andrew and Justin were out on a date. Trevor was out with his girlfriend Lana. The girls were talking about "Justdrew" (Justin/Andrew) while eating chocolate anything.
