"Here, put some ice on it." Patrick handed Dallon a plastic bag full of ice. "T-thanks." He was still shaken up, tears were still running down his face, and his heart still hurt. Patrick sat next to him and put his arm around the broken boy. "Stay here as long as you need to. I'll explain everything to Pete." Dallon nodded. "I'll be gone by tomorrow morning.. I'm sorry for intruding." Patrick looked at him worried. "You don't have to be sorry, but I don't think it'd be a good idea to go home so soon." Dallon started to cry again as Patrick tried to comfort him. "I have to... He means too much to me.." Patrick sighed. "You better be safe, okay?" Dallon nodded as he cried into his arms. Patrick was a good friend.

Pete ran in to the spare bedroom to wake up Dallon. "Hey, wake up. Something just happened." He sat up and rubbed his eyes. "What is it?" Patrick was probably at work. He said he'd cover for Dallon today. "Brendon was drunk-driving last night and..." Dallon started to freak out. "Holy shit, did he get in a crash? Is he okay?" Pete stood up. "He's fine. He just got pulled over. He's in jail right now.." Dallon got up quickly. "Hey, where are you going?" Dallon put on his shoes. "To bail him out." Pete looked worried. "What about yesterday?" Dallon grabbed his jacket. "He's my boyfriend. I promised." Pete sighed as he ran out the door.

"He's in way over his head."
