A lick away

I fell

Alex scoffs to get Nick's attention

Nic:    The fuck do you want

Ale:    Um...

Alex grabs the fifty and gives it to Nick. Nick smiles

Nic:    What's the occasion?

Ale:    My watch

Nic:    AH, fuck. Listen. Wasn't my plan. BUT I forgot it at home

Ale:    BRO

Alex takes his money back. Nick grabs his arm and takes the money

Nic:    I'll bring the watch to your house right after school, promise

Ale:    I am meeting with Basit for the project.

Nic:    Text me when you're home. You'll get your watch back, Alex. But I need this

Nick lets go of Alex's arm

Nic:    You're meeting with Basit?

Ale:    For the project, you should think about doing the same

Nick scoffs. He throws Alex against the locker

Nic:    Don't forget who you're talking too, Torres. 

Ale:    Sorry

Nick walks away. Basit is standing in the distance watching, he walks away. Skip to after school. Alex is sitting outside at a table. He's looking things up on his computer. Basit walks up

Bas:    You're early

Ale:    You're late

Bas:    Fuck off

Skip to Alex arriving at home, He has his hoodie on and walks inside the house.

Jul:    ALEX

Ale:    Yeah

Jul:    Hi, hello. How was school? Good? Awesome. 

Ale:    Sorry, homework

Julio walks over to Alex and takes the hood off, revealing a black eye.

Jul:    Alex?

Ale:    I fell, that's all

Jul:    Do I need to have a talk with Butler again?

Ale:    No, no. It wasn't Nick. I fell

Jul:    On a fist?

Ale:    No, dad. I swear. Okay, it's all good. 

Alex walks up the stairs and falls down on his bed. He grabs his phone and texts Nick named 'asshole'

Ale:    Home

Alex throws his phone on the bed and sighs. Skip to Nick standing outside of Alex's room. He throws a rock against his window. Alex opens the window

Ale:    What's your problem, we have a door.

Nick climbs up to Alex's room and jumps inside

Ale:    Um...

Nick grabs the watch from his pocket and then looks at Alex's face.

Nic:    The fuck

Ale:    What

Nic:    What happened?

Ale:    The hell do you care, watch?

Nick grabs the watch and puts it down on the table behind Alex.

Nic:    Again, what happened

Ale:    I fell. Get out

Nick throws Alex on the bed and goes hover over him holding Alex's hands steady above his head on the bed.

Nic:    Did Basit do this?

Ale:    GET OUT

Nic:    ANSWER ME

Ale:    WHY

Nick goes closer to Alex's face, he looks at the bruise and then licks it

Ale:    THE FUCK

Alex starts fighting, Nick keeps holding him down

Nic:    Fucking Basit

Nick gets off of Alex and goes out the room

Ale:    You have serious issues man

Nic:    You want me back up there?

Nick looks at Alex angrily, Alex closes the window, Nick jumps down. Nick walks back home, Nick lives next to Alex. He sees Alex's dad in his doorway talking to his dad. He walks up

Jul:    Oh fuck who we have here

Joh:    Nick you fucking idiot. 

Nic:    What?

Jul:    You...

Julio grabs Nicks shirt
