Rye's POV

I run through the building looking for Andy. I could have known he wouldn't leave Mikey alone. He was so angry at Blair when it happend. I could've expected this.

I didn't think he would beat him up, though. Actually I thought he would just insult him, but apparently Andy Fowler is not as innocent as he looks.

I find him at the table, drinking some tea, while watching a YouTube video on his laptop. I run around the table and slam his laptop closed.

Andy gives me a confused look. "What the heck, dude! Why would you do that?!"

Without saying anything, I punch him in the face, knocking him off his chair. "Rye! Are you crazy of something?" he yells.

"I think you are the crazy one here," I hiss. "Beating up Mikey? Are you crazy? What has he ever done to us? It's not his fault his father lied to us!"

Andy chuckles dangerously. "So he told you? Even though I told him not to?" he asks. "I guess he's been lying just as hard as his father!"

"He didn't lie to you and he also didn't disobey you!" I growl. "And we both know we're not the only ones Blair has been lying to."

Andy pushes me away. "I don't care if he lies to that rat! I didn't like him anyway!"

"Mikey's not a rat!" I say. "He's actually really nice. He's being nicer than you've been in the last couple of months. You've been insulting us endlessly every day!" I pause for a second to catch my breath. "We're going to get our revenge soon, I promise, Andy. Please, become yourself again! I can't be your friend if you stay like this."

Andy looks shocked by that last sentence. "Well..." he says. "I think you are crazy! It's like you've fallen in love with that boy or something. He's not as nice as he seems. He's evil! Just like his father!"

"He isn't!" I say. "And I'm not in love with him! I just don't get why you immediately hate everyone and everything you don't know! What's wrong with you?"

"I don't hate everyone! I just hate him!" Andy yells. "And you should be hating him too, but somehow he has managed to enchant you or something."

"Why aren't you listening to me, Andy? I don't like him because he has hypnotised me or something. I like him because he's nice. He's like... Well, the opposite of you..."

When Andy's eyes suddenly narrow, I already know what's going to happen, but somehow my body reacts too late to block his path. He runs past me and makes his way over to Mikey's room. I watch him disappear through the door and when I hear screams, I start running after him.

When I open the door, Andy is sitting on top of Mikey, punching him in the ribs. While Mikey is trying to cover his face with his arms, completely defenseless, Brooklyn and Jack are trying to pull Andy away.

I quickly run over to the couch and push Andy off of Mikey, with all power I have. Andy falls on the ground and I immediately get on top of him. Jack and Brooklyn climb on top of him as well.

Once Andy has calmed down a little bit, we bring him to his bedroom and lock the door.

"Wow," Jack says sighing. "What was that? Is something wrong with Andy? I've never seen him so agressive before."

"I don't know what's wrong with him," I say. "But I wanna see if Mikey's okay before we continue this conversation."

Brooklyn nods. "Yeah, let's go," he says.

When we enter the room, we notice Mikey has passed out. I watch his face, it's covered in bruises and cuts. It must have been pretty painful. Then I see his hands are tied up and feel even worse. "His hands," I whisper. "He was completely defenseless. Who tied up his hands?"

"I'm sorry," Jack says. "I didn't know this would happen. I had no idea Andy would react like that."

"You couldn't have known," Brooklyn tells him. "But what do we do now?"

"I'm going to bring him to my room," I say. "He needs to rest and I have some bandages in my room for the worst cuts." I carefully lift Mikey's body up in my arms and carry him to my room. I put him down on the bed and wrap the blankets around his body.

When I've bandaged him a little, I turn off the lights and leave the room. "I hope you're okay, Mikey," I whisper sadly.
