If It Made Sense, It Wouldn't Be a Mystery, Would It?

Chapter 28

POV: BRIAN

It's late when I open my eyes; I can tell from the sun it must be after 10. And, yes. He's fucking staring at me. "Justin, what the fuck is with you? Stop staring at me when I'm sleeping."

"I like to. I get to watch you dream. It's cool."

Whatever. "You're a weird fuck, Justin." And, speaking of dreams... "How'd you sleep?"

"Good, actually. Really good..."

Good. "Good."

"Want breakfast?"

"Yeah."

"How's your leg?" He asks, getting out of bed.

"Fine and dandy."

"Let me look at it." He walks over to my side of the bed and starts tugging at the bandage.

"Ouch, Justin! Watch it!" Just then, my cell rings. "Can you get that?" Justin's already jogging over to the counter where I left my phone. I groan as I get up and reach for my crutches. My leg actually isn't killing me today. Miracle of miracles. I pull on some pajama bottoms and lurch down the stairs into the kitchen. I look around. God, I have to get some furniture, I think to myself.

"No shit!" Justin's saying. "Yeah. Thanks. Wow." He flips the phone closed and looks at me. "She fucking confessed! To everything!"

Whoa. "What?"

"Gina Stockwell. Apparently she found one of Kemp's blackmail letters and as you said, took matters into her own hands! And Reikert found out it was her and was going to go to Stockwell about it but she got to him first." Justin looks stunned.

"Fucking cunt."

"She almost killed you."

"You too, dear."

Suddenly I find myself on the receiving end of a fervent hug and I wrap my arms around him as best I can. What the? "It's okay, Justin. They caught her." He's fucking shaking like a leaf. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing. I'm just glad you're here."

Oh.

I smile. Me too. "Me too." He squeezes me tightly and I pause, giving him a short kiss to the top of his head. "Justin, I think you've graduated from drama princess into drama QUEEN. Just think! You're a MAN now, Sunshine!" I feel him relax in my arms and even hear a small laugh.

"Ass." He says. Then adds, "I learned from the master."

I think a few moments. "Emmett?"
