~*POV Tony*~

I sighed as I looked over at Jaime. After he cried himself out, I walked him to his room and tucked him into bed, where he instantly fell asleep. Poor guy, he was really hurting right now. And for some reason, I told him I'd fix it. God dammit, how am I going to manage that?

I walked back into the living room, I should really go talk to Vic... This whole situation seems really odd to me. I mean, Mike's always had a distant relationship with his parents, even when he was in recovery his parents didn't really interfere that much... But, his mom treated me like I was her own... I'm so confused...

I put a note on the table telling Jaime that I was going back to the hospital, and for him to stay here until I get back. I don't want him to do anything stupid and since his phone is broken...

I drove in silence back to the hospital, I wasn't in the mood to listen to music. Plus, I was feeling really insecure. What if Vic tells Mike about their parents and he has the same response Vic did? What if he ends things between us? Hell, I don't even know what we are anymore. I felt a few tears drip down my face as I drove. I also felt my thighs itching for relief. The relief only a blade could satisfy. Well, I know what I'm doing later tonight...

When I got to the hospital I walked through the halls with a new purpose. Maybe I can help Vic and Hime... I just, I don't know...

When I opened the door to Mike's room, I saw the Vic was still crying into Mike's chest. Poor boy... Mike's eyes flashed to meet mine, I could tell that he was worried about Vic.

"Tone," he said calmly, "Did you find him?"

"Yeah," I said nodding, "He's asleep at the apartment right now. I told him not to leave until I got back, but I don't know... So I have to be quick about this."

"About what?" Vic asked, lifting his head from Mike. His voice was weak and his face was red.

"I'm going to fix this," I said, looking right at Vic, "You love him, don't you Vic?"

He wiped his eyes before answering me, "Yeah Tony... I do," his voice was quiet, barely above a whisper.

"Then what's the problem?"I asked, walking over to him, "I know you're scared. But think about it this way, say you do what your parents want. Say you marry the first girl that falls in love with you, but you never feel it back. Say you have kids and start a family with her to impress your parents. Well what would happen when they died? I know you don't want to hear it, but death is inevitable, and when they're gone, who will you be fooling? You'll be filled with regret and anger. I'm not say Jaime's the one. I'm say you have to listen to your heart, don't love to please others, love to please yourself."

"Tony you're right!" Vic exclaimed, starting to cry again, "I don't know what to do! He thinks I don't love him when I really do! I love him more than anything!"

"Then tell him," I said, "Or better yet, show him. Do something for him that'll show him how much you care."

"Thank you so much!" He cried, pulling me into a big hug. I sighed lightly and hugged him back. I looked at Mike over Vic's shoulder. He cocked his head and raised an eyebrow at me.

'Parents?' he mouthed.

'Ask Vic about it later,' I mouthed back, not wanting to break the bad news to Mike. I know it's going to effect whatever it is we are right now...

He nodded slowly and frowned. I bit my lip as Vic pulled away from me. He sniffed and wiped his eyes again.

"I need to talk to him," he said, with a spark in his eyes that wasn't there before, "I need to tell him I love him before it's too late."

"Hell yeah!" Mike cheered.

"Maybe you should think of a special way to do it," I suggested, "Hime's always been a sucker for anything romantic..."

"I think I know how I'm going to do it too," he said, before bounding out of the room.

"Vic wait!" I yelled, "Your keys!"

But he had already left.

"Goes he's taking a cab," Mike laughed.

"I guess so," I agreed, laughing.

"I feel like I should be mad a Jaime for breaking my brother's heart..."

"And I feel like I should be mad at Vic for breaking my best friend's heart..."

We looked at each other and laughed, knowing that that wasn't going to happen.
