Despite my mum's huge disagreement, I went home with Eddy when I got discharged a week after. Monica still wasn't apprehended. I saw it best that Eddy and I play "Breddy" to pacify Monica even a bit.

We turned on the camera to make a video for our fans, to explain what had happened. We were on the news and ever since that night, no videos nor updates were made by neither one of us.

"Hi guys! This will be a very short video. As you can see, we are shooting this in our bed because I just got out of the hospital." I made sure to emphasize "our bed" to make it seem that we're really together.

"I want to apologize for not updating you any sooner but I hope and I know that you would understand."

"The stuff you may have seen on the news were true. We were indeed attacked in Eddy's home. Somebody, a fan, got angry when she thought that Eddy was dating somebody outside our relationship. What she didn't know is that she is one of our team members for both twoset violin and twoset apparel. She got into the house and tried to attack Eddy.

"..And Brett saved me. He literally stepped in between the girl and me when I was about to get stabbed." Eddy stopped talking and had to take a huge breath.

I took Eddy's hand in mine. "Good thing the wounds were superficial but I had to be put under medically induced coma because I hit my head when I fell down. But I'm now okay. I'm resting and trying to get my strength back."

Eddy suddenly hugged me, crying. "Thank you Brett. I love you so so so so much. I literally owe you my life."

I hugged him back. Neither of us can't stop from crying.

He pulled back. "Brett, do you still have something to say?" I shook my head, too overwhelmed to answer verbally.

"We didn't think we'd get this emotional recounting everything that has happened. We'll get back to you guys in a happier and healthier time."

Eddy switched the camera off and crawled next to me in bed and hugged me. "Thank you so much bro. I love you so so much."

"You already said that earlier."

"Yeah, but I want to say it for your ears only."

From time to time, Eddy and I would post pictures on our socials. The last photo was of us watching Netflix in bed captioned "not practicing". What they didn't know is that after each photo was taken, Eddy would go out of my room, which is actually Eddy's own room that he insisted that I use while he slept on the floor of our studio room where he put a mattress.

It was now getting better and being more independent. One night, I passed by the room where he was sleeping and heard him groaning. I immediately opened the door and saw him writhing, drenched in sweat, his face in pain and horror.

"Damn Eddy wake up!" His eyes immediately opened, he looked at the ceiling silently until his panting turned into calm even breaths.

"I'm sorry Brett, did I wake you up?"

"What the hell was that Eddy??"

"Just a nightmare, it's nothing Brett. Why are you up? Do you need anything?" He asked.

"No Eddy. What was your nightmare about?"

"It's nothing. I just get some flashbacks about that night. But it's nothing bro. I'm good. Go back to sleep." I took a good look at him. He has gone thinner, his eyes have sunk. How have I never noticed it?

"Eddy, do you mind if I ask you to sleep next to me in bed?"

"Brett, I'm okay. I swear."

"I'm scared Eddy. I get nightmares too." I lied. I didn't but I wanted to be next to Eddy whenever he gets nightmares and wake him up.

"OK Brett. Let's go."

It was worse than I expected. I had to wake up Eddy twice more that night from his nightmares.

"Be honest Eddy, do this happen every single night?"

He nodded. He grabbed me by the shoulders and ran his hands on my face.

"Thank God you're alive Brett. Thank God, Thank God." He cried.

I hugged him. "We're okay Eddy. We're safe. We're alive."

"No Brett! She's out there! They still haven't found her!!! I saw her stab you in the fucking head Brett. I saw her anger when she was running towards me with her knife." He was shaking uncontrollably.

"It's fine now Eddy. As far as she knows we're together. Starting tonight, you sleep here beside me. We need to help each other." I hugged him and rubbed his back, gently rocking him to calm him down.
