Agustin and Javier didn't know what Aman meant but, none the less they did as he said and brought him back home. He was in pain the whole ride there giving Agustin a scare as he drove. Javier sat in the back seat with him trying to comfort him but, finding it impossible.

Back at the house Dylan was watching from his bedroom window as slow cars passed by in the night. What was going to happen? Todd Heart was bound to kick Aman out and Dylan didn't want that. He's grown close to Aman despite his wild side, it would be like loosing a brother after all the boys have been through. Brooks groaned and stirred a bit in his sleep, the alcohol wasn't good on his already weak body only causing him to be more sensitive to it.

Just then the front door was heard flying open and Dylan could make out Javier and Agustin's frantic tones. Dylan turned off the lamp in the bedroom and meet the boys in the kitchen down stairs. The sight wasn't at all what he expected, Aman was hunched over leaning heavily into Agustin and Javier.

"What happend?" Asked Dylan feeling his heart hit his chest.

"Looks like someone beat him up, he needs a doctor" Explained Javier.

"N-no, don't get me a doctor, trust me this whole thing will be ruined." The boys didn't know what Aman meant but trusted his word and helped him upstairs.

"Dylan, get some rags and some pain killers!" Agustin called over his shoulder.

They lay Aman down on the bed and carefully took off his shirt.

"What hurts?" Asked Agustin.

"My head." Aman replied, shutting his eyes at the pain and grasping Agustin's arm. He was just a boy really and at that moment he felt much like Brooks. He needed some comfort and wasn't ashamed to show it.

"Don't move and we will clean that gash." Javier reassured as he studied the bloody gash at the back of Aman's head.

Dylan came back with some cool cloths and pain killers.

"We have to clean the wound and hope for the best." Said Javier taking one of the cloths and pressing it to the back of Aman's head. He let out a cry trying to push Javier's hand away.

"Stay still man, we don't want it getting worse." Warned Dylan running a hand through Aman's wet curls.

"Agustin?" echoed a voice from the hall way.

"Oh no!" Panicked Agustin.

"Go stall him, I don't want him finding out." Groaned Aman feeling guilty for what he's done. Agustin left the room and Aman asked, "Is the kid okay?"

"Yeah, just focus on staying awake." Said Javier as he continued to clean the gash as Aman winced.

Agustin found Brooks still looking a bit pal in the hallway. He was shivering in nothing more then joggers and socks.

"Go back to sleep boo and put on one of my sweaters." Agustin tilted Brooks chin a bit. 

"But what's going on? Is Aman back?" Brooks wrapped his arms around Agustin's waist and nestled into his chest.

"Aman is fine and you had a long day. Tomorrow you see the doctor, so off to bed with you." Agustin knew Brooks wouldn't go without him. "Fine," He sighed. "I'll stay with you till you fall asleep." He hoped the other boys could handle Aman.

In one of the warm rooms of the Holiday Inn situated in the city was Orson Luz. He wanted to get Aman back for never fulfilling his promise and he had just the way to do it. He ventured out into the cold night and headed to the house the boys were living in. How did he know where to find them? That they would have to find out.
