Alex was drowning. It was cold and dark and the water was seeping into his body as if he was full of holes. He let his body go, allowing it to fall deeper and deeper. Then something grabbed his wrist, something gentler then the hand that held his wrist so little ago. He forced his heavy head to look up, and there was Nick and Karl, hands clasped together between them. I can't leave them, he thought forcing himself to break shore. Once he did his eyes popped open and he was no longer drowning, He was gasping for air and reaching blindly for the hands that had caught him. Instantly Karl and Nick reached and grasped his hands. "Alex...oh my god Alex" Karl was crying. "Alex what happened to you?" 

He hadn't thought, just blurted it all out. Told them everything. Karl broke down in tears and refused to let go of Alex's hands. Nick tried his best but had no experience in comforting someone who didn't want to be reminded of last night. "I'll call our lawyer. Alex you have to tell us who..did this" Nick said softly. "It..It was Schlatt" Alex prided himself in the fact that he had been able to steady his breathing. "That fucker..I'll kill him" Nick stormed out and Karl took it upon himself to call the lawyer, not bothering to stop Nick. "She'll help you okay? She'll make sure he get's put away, all you have to do is tell her what you told me and Nick bubs" He leaned down and kissed Alex, longer than usual. Alex hugged him tight, his whole body ached and he needed a shower, and that's what he told Karl. 

The lady was tall and had a nice looking face. She spoke kindly and quickly, trying her best to keep Alex comfortable. "So they are going to pry at you okay? They will do their best to make you out to be the bad guy" Alex was shocked "Why?" "That's just how it is love...Now tell me everything. Even your history with this man" So Alex recounted it all, every beating every injury, every night he lived in that horrible house. He wavered every once in a while and Karl would comfort him, and around 6:30 pm Nick came home, tired and ready for bed. The lady, Molly, stood and hugged Alex "You have a nice time hun" She walked out and Alex sighed, following Nick and Karl to the room. Nick insisted that it was his turn to cuddle Alex, who obviously wasn't complaining since he eagerly crawled into the tall boy's arms cuddling close. He had thrown on Nick's hoodie and Karl's PJ pants since he just wanted to be surrounded by their smells, he knew he was only imagining it but he felt as if he could smell Schlatt still and it made him want to throw up, luckily he was comforted by his two lovers, hugging him from both sides, letting him know that they were there when he needs them most.
