"Here." He chucks a pack of chips at me and a bottle of water and Advil to Thomas.
He sits next to Tom and wraps his arm around him.
"I ship it," I say, which gets a laugh from everyone in return. 

~~~~~ 


*Alex* 

Everything has changed since the incident with Thomas. Currently we were fighting over if we should sue or not. 

I mean, he was fxcking kidnapped and abused. I want to sue. 

Thomas says that they will already be in jail for a long time anyway to why bother. He also said it would be too much trouble and money. 

But I wanted to face John. I wanted to look him in the eye and know if he regretted anything he did. I wan to look into the face of someone I used to trust the most, and give him a piece of my mind. He hurt the love of my life. I wasnt going to stand for it. 

The more I thought about it the more rage boiled in me adn the more I wanted to sue. 

"Thomas, I really think we should sue." We were in my dorm room. He was sitting ont he couch doing home work and I was pacing around the room. 

"I already told you Alex. No." 

"Thoams, he fxcking abused you and kidnapped you! I want to face him and give him a piece of my fxcking mind. Her hurt you, Love. I'm not standing for it." 

"Dont you understand that I'm scared to be in that court room with both of them?!" 

"Love, nothing will ever happen to you again. I'm never leaving you again." 

"It doesnt change that it still happened and that I'm still scarred."
"Exactly! They hurt you physically and mentally. I want to look John in the eye and ask why the hell he did it!" 

"You only want to sue just so you can see John!" 

"I want to sue because we have a good case and could win. And because I need to get them back for what they did to you." 

Thomas stood up and started pacing. 

"Alex, I said no. This is up to me." 
"No. This is a couple decision." 

"Well its in the middle! I said no. I dont want to be in the same room as them." 

"I want to see them get put behind bars for as long as possible."

"No! You just want to say goodbye to John. I know you love him, Alex. I'm not an idiot. I  get it. But I'm not suing." 

"No. I dont care if I say goodbye to John.But he was like a brother to me, Tom. And he turned on me. He stood by my side and told me it would be alright, even though he was sneaking out and hurting you!"

" No! This is about you making up for the fact that you couldnt protect me!" 

I froze. And so did he. 

"Wow. Thanks." 

He knew what he said cut deep. But he kept going. 

"This is all for you! Not me, not us, you! I want no part in it!" 

"Tom." I whimpered. 

"You cant make up for it, Alex!" 

"Thomas! Stop!" 

He stopped. He looked at me and started tearing up. 

"I'm so sorry, Alex."

I rushed over to him and hugged him.  He collapsed in my arms. 

"It's okay. I know."

I know. 


"I, I'm just, I'm angry and scared and I dont want to hurt myself again. I know that youd be dissapointed. And, and I just. If i see them. I'm scared Lex. And I cant do anything." 

I held onto him tightly, letting him cry. 

How did I not see the pain in him. I knew he wasnt going to be okay after all of this. 

"It's okay, Hun. YOu didnt do anythign wrong." 

His words did cut deep. But I wasnt going to blame him. He was right. But it didnt stop his words from ringing in my head. Guilt bubbled up and I only held him tighter. 

I wanted to Sue for myself. To redeem myself in some way. 

"We won't sue. You're right. I wanted it for me and that was unfair for me to do." 

He didnt respond. I didnt expect him to. 

We didnt talk. We didnt even try to. We sat in a deafening silence. 

We were too scared to have to go back to the real world. It was too soon for him too. 

"Maybe you should stay home for a while." 

"I can't miss school." 

"But you're not ready yet. Its still too raw." 

He only nodded. I knew him. This didnt mean he agreed. It only meant he heard me and would consider it. 

Half the time he did the opposite of what I said. 

He knew himself better than I did, which meant he knew if he could handle contining going to classes. 

"I love you, ya know" 

"I know, Tommy. I love you too." 

He laid his head against my chest and I leaned aginst the wall. I dont how long we stayed like this, but I didnt care. It was just us. He was in my arms and not taken from me. 

I had him. 

I wasnt letting go. Not again. 



*John* (WhAt) 


I was in jail. 

I never thought I'd end up here. 

I missed Alex. I missed him so much.

I was supposed to be in here for 5 years. The bare minimum for kidnapping. I was an acomplice. 

Burr was getting 20 years. 

Since they found us both on the scene of the crime and had solid evidence agianst us, they gave us our sentence and that was that. 

While all my 'friends' are graduating college, I'll still be in prison. I really screwed this one up. 

I'm sorry Alex. Please get me out of here. I trust in you. Get me out of this prison and bring me home. 


*Thomas* 

Maybe around 6 pm, Alex and I were still in the same place. 

But then someone knocked on our door. 

"Come in." Alex mumbled just loud enough.

James walked in. 

"Hey. I wnated to make sure you were okay. You hadnt come back to the dorm and you didnt text, so I thought youd be with Alex, or at least, ALex would know where you were." 

"Yeah. Sorry. We got in a fight." I mumbled. 

Alex held me tighter and sniffled. 

"Oh, well you both seem okay now. Want to go for Dinner with the rest of the gang?" He asked. 

I looked up to Alex. 

"Its up to you, Thomas."  He smiled. 

I looked back to James and nodded. 

"Sounds good to me."
