"What? You think other people don't get scared? You think I don't get scared?" He raised an eyebrow at her. It might not be the same degree or even kind of being scared but he did feel it,too. "When somebody puts a gun to your head everybody gets scared. I almost shit my pants in that house back in March. I thought that's it-I'm dead. But I was lucky, I guess." He sighed. How could he break it down to her. "Fear is natural, it can be helpful. But you have to let it go once the situation is gone." Tyler had found an old bottle cap underneath a cupboard and put it in his mouth so Brian bent down to grab it from him which resulted in loud protest. Brian let him have his car keys instead. "Little man is starting to have a mind of his own." He smiled.

Faye slolwy nodded her head, she understood all of that she did, she get other people felt fear, and dealt with it, but yet her entire life had consisted of nothing but abuse, tauntings and fear, it was inbreaded into her system,something she had been slolwy getting over, was now flaring back to the surface, and she knew,knew if she did do someting, anything shewas going to loose the one person who meant anything to her.
"Your lucky" She stated softly, watching Tyler, with gleeming eyes, "Mia will come around i promise"

"What makes you say that?" Brian wondered. "Mia said she wanted to kick me to the curb last night...that she could bring up Tyler by herself." His eyes locked on the little boy who had no idea what was going on between his parents. Suddenly it felt like somebody had put a clamp around his heart. He couldn't imagine being without his son anymore. It hurt just to think about it. Brian would not let her do that. He would try and change her mind.
His eyes wandered back to Jack's partner. Everything about Faye screamed broken right now. Yet she somehow managed to pull herself together. "Don't let it get to you so much. You have a boyfriend, who loves you so much. Jack's never been in love before but I promise you he is now. Head over heals. He'd cut his own hand off for you and I'm sure he'd love to ease your pain...if you share it with him. And so would I...if you tell me what I can do. I really like you Faye." Brian took her hand. For some reason he thought that if he'd touched her she would understand what he meant.

Faye shook her head, dark eyes sparkling as she looked at Brian, he seemed so worried, obviously he had never seen Mia this way, licking her lips she let out a soft sigh, “Iv been Mia okay” She stated softly, “She’s afraid, she doesn’t know how to deal with it, she’s directing all of that into rage, which she’s turning to you” With a smile she lifted her gaze back towards Brian. “If she cant get it ou tof her system that way, your gnna have to force her to get help”
Letting out a breath her words caught in her throat, her dark gaze dropped down to the hand that was now resting against her, her and Brian had been close, ish, they had flirted, and she could still remember the first time she had been introduced to Brian, how attracted she had felt to him. Heaving in a breath she slowly pulled her hand away from him, “Ill be fine” She stated with a tight smile, suddenly flushed, she turned away from him, both to hide the blush, and to grab another drink.

Fayes words made sense. Yet they felt so wrong. Why did he have to take the heat for Verone's actions? "And why don't you follow your own advice?" Brian questioned. "Let it all out or get help? Are you doing either?" He noticed how she pulled her hand out from underneath his. It suddenly felt cold. Brian hadn't meant anything by it but when he noticed how soft and warm her skin was, he wanted to touch her again. Instead he picked up Tyler and bounced him on his lap. He stood up and followed Faye to the fridge with the boy in his arms. "Why is it easy to talk to you but not to Mia?" He searched her face standing almost a little too close.

She let out a silent trembling breath, she knew her hormones and feelings were all over the place, and with Brian being here and not Jack. She bit the inside of her lip, hard enough to draw blood, hard enough to get her mind of the man behind her. Turning her chin had to tilt backwards ever so slightly, he was close, to damn close.
"Your to close to her Brian, its always easier to talk to other people" She draw her lower lip between her theet, dropping her gaze, hoping that would force him backwards.

"Is that why it's so easy to talk to you? Because we're 'not' that close?" Brian doubted it but the tension in her back was hard to miss. Was he making Faye uncomfortable? He wanted to simply turn her around, hold her close and comfort her. Faye seemed so fragile and for some reason Brian didn't think Jack would comfort her because he had cause her mystery. He placed his hand on her shoulder softly squeezing it. "You're shaking, are you okay?"

Faye nodded her head as she gazed into the fridge, but his hand on her shoulder did nothing to make her feel any better nor did she understand why it had suddenly affected her. Licking her lip she noded her head, and turned slolwy, once more they were so close, drawing herlower lip between her teeth she backed herself into the fridge.
"Yes, you can talk to me because you know iv been there"

Something about her posture had changed. Brian searched her face and saw the sparkle in her eyes that was there despite her backing up. Suddenly he could feel his own heartbeat speed up. What was going on? Did he get attracted to Faye? Little Miss Lawyer? No, that were surely just his protective instincts. "C'Mon." Brian shrugged the suspicions off, stepped forward and took her in his arms. "Don't be afraid. You'll be okay. It'll just take time." Faye felt tiny in his arms. Even smaller than Mia. Gently he rubbed her back.

His hands wrapped around her body and she was agaisnt him seconds later, her head found its way to his chest and she could hear the steady thump thump of his heart, her hand, lifted, wrapping around the shirt he was wearing and she allowed herself to relax into his arms.
Her own heart washammering beneath her chest, and her eyes closed just as her jaw locked. Forcefully she pulled away, but only so far, hsi arms were still wrapped around her so there was little room for her to actually move. She was far to close, and her eyes widended with panic after so slightly, her mouth hung open slightly as she looked at him, chin tilted to look at him.

Faye felt small and fragile in his arms. She was trembling but slowly calmed down. Brian could feel her heart beat against his ribcage. When he felt her head ease against his chest his hand automatically came up and ran over her dark her. It looked almost like Mia's, maybe a little lighter and wavier but it smelled similar. It was nice to hold her and feel her relax until she pulled away slightly and looked up into Brians eyes with her little round bambi eyes. Her mouth was slightly open and she tilted her chin up as if she was waiting for Brian to bend down and kiss her. Without thinking about it he bent down and also opened his lips. The urge to kiss her was huge but just before their lips met Brian turned his head slightly and kissed her on the soft skin of her cheek. Closing his eyes he silently cursed himself for not going through with it and a second later for almost doing it. He was confused, incredibly confused.

For half a second as he leant down towards her she was almost certain he was going to kiss her, and for a split second she wanted him to wanted to taste the forbidden fruit, wanted to put herself in the front seat, to stop being the victim and be in control for once.
Yet as his slightly rough lips pressed agaisnt her cheek she was glad he hadnt, glad that he hadnt kissed her, she couldnt do that, to Mia or to Jack. She forced herself from his arms, setting her jaw and turning away from him, her hand lifting to run through her hair, dark eyes looking out over her and Jack's backyard. "I think you should leave Brian" She muttered softly.

When she pushed him away Brian was suddenly glad he hadn't gone any further. He simply couldn't do that and Faye had every right to be angry. He took a small step towards her and raised his hand towards her arm but didn't touch her. "I'm...sorry, Faye." He paused and searched her face. Did he have to be sorry for trying to comfort her. For a moment he wondered whether he should ask if she was okay or whether he'd abused her trust. or or but he nodded instead and swallowed. Without another word he turned around and left.
He had come here feeling bad because of Mia and now he was leaving feeling bad because of Faye. What a screwed up situation. Hopefully Jack wouldn't find out what almost happened.

Three days later Brian was back at Fayes doorstep. He had actually waited and driven by until Jack's car was gone. Now that she was alone he worked up the gutts to knock on her door.

When Brian left she was left feeling more confussed then when he had actually arrived, she didnt know where the sudden urge had come from, but she was glad he had listened to sense and hadnt actually gone through with what apparently they both had so eagerly wanted.
----------
The next day she was once more alone, something she was beginging to like more and more often, alone she could be silent, she could be alone and wallow and not deal. The knock at her door startled her for a moment but she was able to push it away, heading towards the door she was shocked to find Brian there once more
"Brian what are you doing here" She questioned softly.

A little uneasy and feeling pretty dumb Brian shuffled his feet and tried not to look the pretty girlfriend of his brother in the eye. "Er, are you busy right now?" He evaded a direct answer and pointed to the old Chevy. "I brought a flashy car if you want to go for a drive. Brian was dressed a little more neatly than any other given day when he went to the garage. A plaid short sleeve shirt and bermudas without and holes. He had even gone to the trouble of shaving, brushing his hair and putting some gel in to make it less fluffy.

Faye furrowed her brow ever so slightly, Brian was acting shifty, far from the self assured man she knew him to be, licking her lips she lent agaisnt the door, her gaze wondering over to the car, before back towards the man in front of her, dark eyes wondering over his features. With a small nod of her head she let out a soft breath, "Okay er let me just get some shoes, you can come in if you want" She left the door open as she moved up the stairs to her and Jacks room. She knew this was actually probarlly a really bad idea, her and Brian being in the same place, alone, but she actually felt remotly normaly with him. She took a couple of extra miunets to change as well, realizing that the weather was a hell of a lot hoter which required something more then the jeans and long shirt she had on. She instead opted for a white dress and pair or gladiator sandels to finish. Jogging down the stairs, she fluffed her hair and found Brian standing exactly where she left him, laughing softly she grabbed her keys and bag and stepped towards him, "So what exactly do you have in mind"

First of all Brian expected Faye not to let him in and then he absolutely didn't expect her to come back down in a pretty white dress with some make-up and simply looking gorgeous. "Wow, you look gorgeous." He simply stated. Then he walked outside and down the stairs. The hobble had almost become a trademark and he didn't even try to hide it any more. He held the door open for her and asked. "Do you want to drive? I presume Jack has told you about our incident two weeks ago." Of course he was embarassed about it. If there was one thing he was proud of it was his driving skills and cars. Neither of them were up to par right now.

Faye licked her lips, her brow raised, a soft blush crossing her cheeks at his words. A soft laugh falling from her lips at hsi question, "He did" She stated softly, licking her lips she looked down to the car then back over to him, "Whre did ths baby come from" She questioned slipping into the driving seat of the car, fingers wrapping around the wheel, getting a feel for it.
The purr of the car made her smile, ad she eased the car into the streeth, dark gaze flciking over to him, "So where to"

"It's a customers, who can't pay so I get to keep his car until he can." Brian grinned when she actually slipped into the driver seat. and sat down in the passenger seat. "Oh well, I've had a few hours practise since our road trip but if you're more comfy behind the wheel...no problem." Faye was already pulling onto the road without even knowing what their destination would be. "I just came to say sorry, Faye. I shouldn't have ...I don*t know, gotten so close..." He looked over at her but her dress and seemingly good mood made him stop half way through his sentence before he started grinning. "..although you make that damn hard."
