Thomas POV

It's been 2 weeks since Daniel disappeared. I still can't process it.

I need him, I miss him. He made me feel whole again. Please come back.

2 weeks later.

It's been a month since Danny's been missing. I'm sure we'll find him soon. I hope we'll find him soon.

2 months later

Baxter POV

"Thomas?" I knocked softly on the under butler's door.

" Go away." He replied groggily, and in pain.

" Are you alright? " I whispered.

" Yes I'm bloody alr-" a painful whimper came out of him.

" I'm coming in." I demanded.

"No. Don't. " as soon as he said that I opened the door.

His eyes were bloodshot, his skin was even paler than usual, and he had at least three needles sticking in his arms.

" I told you I'm ff-fine." He shivered.

I closed the door. " Thomas why are you doing this to yourself?"

"I said leave me alone!" He shouted in painful agony.

"Not until you tell me why you're doing this." I stood firm.

" I-I just want to be normal." He cried.

"You are normal." I knelt beside him.

"No I'm not. " He sobbed.

" Yes, you are." I comforted.

" I like men! Do you think that's NORMAL?! TO HAVE TO HIDE OR HAVE EVERYONE MOCK YOU?"
He screamed, strained because of the pain he was in.

" It doesn't have to be like this." I told him.

" But it does... Without Danny. I'm. I'm back to feeling useless and outcasted. It hurts Baxter. I need to be different. " He put his head down.

I packed up the needles, secretly throwing them away. "Thomas. Let's get you to bed."

"Okay." I walked him to bed and felt a tear come to my eye.

As I closed the door I heard Thomas's soft sobs echo in his room.

It truly made my heart ache.

Daniel POV

(2 months ago approximately)

" Walk with us for a while Danny."

"Yeah walk with us."

" Well okay."

I walked with them for a while. " Hey where are we going?" We turned into a dark alley with a few ruffians at the end of it.

"Come meet our friends Danny." Andrew said.

" Hello." I waved to the men in the alley.

" Boy have we got a story for you fellas." Martin said in a sing song voice.

" Yeah. Ol' Danny Boy here is a little bit of a Benny." (British slang for homosexuals) Andrew taunted.

"Is that so?" One of the men shouted standing up.
