A/N: I've been doing some testing with the most recent chapters of this book. I've come to the conclusion that there will be no "edited" version of this book. I can't take out the scenes. They're necessary for story and character development. If I take them out, then there will be a huge hole. So with that, this book will be the ONLY version in "The One" series.

Chapter9-Erasing Confessions
February 23rd, 2012
It’s the next day, and it’s early in the morning. Brandon stopped by at the 7th Anthem. He knocked on the door. The door was opened, and it was Bailey at the entrance. She looked like she just woke up.
She asked groggily, “Brandon, what are you doing here?”
He replied, “I know it’s early. I came to pick up clothes for Andrew and Alyson.”
That woke Bailey up. She asked, “Yeah, where are they? It’s like they just disappeared a few nights ago. And we have a gig tonight.”
“You need to cancel the gig. They’re both in the hospital, and they’ve been ordered to not perform for the rest of the week.”
“What? What happened to them?”
“It’s a really complicated, disturbing story. It’s better if they tell you. But you, and the others, cannot ask what happened. Don’t even ask Andrew.”
Bailey was in shock, but she nodded her head in both agreement and understanding. She let Brandon in. As he went to their rooms, Bailey asked, “Are Andrew and Alyson okay?”
He answered, “They’re fine, but they’re battered. But Andrew is a special case. You lot need to be careful with him.”
Bailey nodded her head. Once Brandon gathered the clothes, he gathered a pair of Converse sneakers for Andrew, and two pairs of sunglasses for both Andrew and Alyson. It’s because there might be paparazzi waiting for them. Then he left the condo.
He arrived about an hour later. He picked up some breakfast for the battered couple. He entered Andrew’s room. He saw Andrew sitting up. He was awake and alert, but he was still disoriented. He actually looked like he was still in shock. He was listening to Alyson talking to him.
Then the couple face Brandon. Alyson said, “Hey, thanks for picking up our clothes, and getting us breakfast.”
He said, “It’s nothing. How are you two feeling?”
“My head still hurts, but at least I don’t feel like I’m dying.”
Andrew, on the other hand, was silent. He looked down on his sheets. Alyson then stroked his hair. She said, “He’ll be fine.”
Then Andrew asked in a small voice, “Can I have the clothes?”
Brandon gave him one of the bags that held Andrew’s clothes. With that, Andrew slowly got up from his bed, and went to the bathroom in his room to change. Brandon gave Alyson’s clothes, and then he asked, “How’s Andrew really doing?”
She explained, “He’s still loopy, but the doctors said it’s because he had a dangerous amount of substances in his system. The doctors also said that he might start showing sides of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder due to the rape. They said he had been raped multiple times.
“I told them that Andrew is my boyfriend, but he was taken hostage by that bitch. They asked if he and I had been in a sexual relationship, and I said we are. They told me to put the relationship on hold until he’s ready. To be honest, sex is the last thing on my mind right now. I just want to him to get better.”
