Alex's POV
The next morning, Keith went upstairs to get me. He never actually woke up though- Keith don't sleep. Patti would know. She tells Keith to come to bed every night, but he doesn't.
Patti follows Keith.

"Morning Alex."
Keith says rubbing my back.

"Daddy......"
Alex say.

"What's wrong Tele boy?"
Asks Keith.

"Sweetie? Are you ok?"
Patti asks.

I shake my head no, and the look on Keith's face suddenly gets really sad.
Keith looks at me with a nervous look.

"I.....I...."
Is all I manage to say.

"Alex?"
Keith asks.

"Alexand-"
Patti tries to say Alexander, but Keith nudges her, and cuts her off.

"He hates being called Alexander. And if he had a nightmare-it'll only make him more afraid, sweetie."
Keith tells Patti softly.

"Alex, can you tell us what happened."

Keith's phone rings

I see Keith leave the room to take the call.
I don't wanna look at Patti.

As Keith comes back in the room, I see him whispering to Patti.

Keith tells her that I have to go back.

"Why?"
Patti asks.

"Cramped dates."
Keith replied.

"Tour dates?"

"No, reversals, photo shoots."
Keith says.

"Can't we keep him?"
Says Patti.

Keith shakes his head no.

"He'll have to go back to the homes anyway."
Says Keith.

I couldn't hear what they were saying.
I didn't know it, but Keith's heart was breaking.

Patti leaves, and goes upstairs as Keith comes over to me.

"Can I pick you up, buddy?"
Keith asks me.

I nod.

Keith takes me into the music room, and shuts the doors.

I look over Keith's shoulder, and see the ground is covered in white stuff, and it's falling from the sky too!

"Keef, what dat?"
I ask pointing to a window.

"Snow. It's because the air is so cold. Don't worry buddy, it's harmless."

I give him a weird look because I'm confused.

"It won't hurt you Alex. I promise. It is very, very cold though."

Keith puts me down but I wince.
He accidentally touched a spot where I had been cut.

"I'm sorry Alex. Should I look how the cuts are doing?"

I shrugged. I'm scared.

Keith lifts the sleeve of my shirt, and sees a black bandage.

"It's hard to tell if these bandages are wet or dry because ones black, and the other one is red."
Keith says.

I know he's talking about if the blood soaked through.

I start too cry. The memories came back as well.

"Alex, what's wrong?"
Keith asks.

"I had, a, nightmare."

Keith hugs me. He rocks me back and forth in his arms, and sings 'We Had It All.'

"I can hear the wind a blowing through my mind. Just way it used to sound, through the Georgia pines."
Keith sings as the doorbell rings.

"Who's that? I wasn't expecting anyone."
Keith says.

"Honey, who's at the door?"
Patti yells from upstairs.

"I don't know sweetie. I wasn't expecting anyone."
Keith says.

"I wasn't either. Where's Alex, sweetie?"
Says Patti.

"I have him in my arms."
Keith says as he caries me over to the door, and I give him a look of fear, and Keith opens the door.🏴
