" I like your... hair " said Alex, holding delicately at Andy's hands . Admiring him, oh how much he looked different. He hadn't seen him for almost two years. He didnt know that leaving him would break him this much, Andy looked more like walking body then a human being.
"It's... blue.. was..blue...now ... it's... f ..fading" Andy said unconsciously putting a lock of his hair behind his ears. His hair was long it reached his shoulders, the roots were dirty blond more like grey that reached his ears, and the rest of the length was blue.
Alex noticed how his hair was greasy and looked so unhealthy. He noticed how all of this place, this environment looked so unhealthy and poorly taken care of. He looked around and saw books thrown here and there. Crumbled papers. The smell of cigarettes was all over the place.
"Andy ?.. how about you come home hum ?" Andy looked up at him briefly then looked back down at his trembling hands. "Th-this.. is home" he whispered ever so quietly.
"I didn't hear you Andy what?" He said getting closer to him
"I .. said that... this ... is home"
"What?. This is not your home... Andy... hell this is not even a house...you can't live here "
"I... I have been... living here.. for for almost.. a year ... this.. is my.. my place...my home."
Looking with shocked wide eyes. Alex never heard Andy talk back to him like that. "I'm.. sorry.. I.. didnt mean.. to" Andy said quietly looking at his feet
"I just... I dont want.. to be thrown out ... again.. when I get so.. used to being home again."
Those words went threw Alex's heart like daggers. Andy doesn't trust him anymore. Why would he. He was kicked out twice. He wouldn't want to be kicked out again. .
He sighed "it's okay Andy I understand. Just... I want you to know that .. you are Welcome anytime you want. "
He hugged him, and kissed his head "I'm happy I saw you. Take care yeah ?"
..."How was it ?" Asked jolly as soon as he saw Alex leaving the building
"You still here ?" Alex said
"Yeah i was waiting to see how it went"
Alex just stood there quiet. He didn't know if or went well or not. He didn't expect it to be like that. He wished to leave the shitty building with Andy. Back home. Just like before.
"He changed... " he simply said
"I know.. I told you he did "
"No I mean... he changed alot.. I felt like I dont even know him. Like its the first time I see him."
"Well... he grew up. I guess. He is not the fifteen kid you found anymore Alex. He knows things now. He is aware of things around him. Of his past. His scars. Everything . So just give him some time.. he'll come around. And besides he wont ever reject you." Jolly said rolling his eyes
"Yeah well he just did "
"What?"
"What do you mean what. I asked him to come back home with me. He didn't want to "
Jolly's head jolted to Alex in shock "he.. he didnt want to go home with you?" Shocked and a slight of happiness was inside him, maybe Andy moved on on Alex. Maybe he can have a chance with him.
"Yeah , he said that . That shitty appartment is his "home" and he talked back to me. He never done that before"
"Wait a second. You are annoyed because, he talked back to you and rejected you ?" He chuckled sarcastically "right I forgot what an asshole spoiled brat you are, no one has the right to say not to you... and no one has the right to reject you. Did you look at him? Did see through him, how much he suffered because of your selfish ass, you come after two fucking years, to apologize and you expect him to fucking trust you and come and live with you? What the fuck you think he is , a fucking lifeless doll. You know what .. fuck you "
He left him there standing and went running to the appartment.
"Andy ?" He called for him as soon as he entered the house. There was no sight of Andy but he could hear the whimpers coming from the bathroom
Without a second thought he opened the door and found Andy sitting on the floor hugging his knees and crying on them.
"Oh Andy" he knelt before him and took him to his arms "it's okay, baby it's okay shushushu"
Andy sobbed his body trembling from crying, he tried miserably to stop but he just couldn't. So he just cried.
He was so broken. Damaged and messed up.
"What happened Andy, what did he say ?did he do something to you ? Hum? " he tried making him talk but Andy was just trembling and sobbing.
"M'tired... cant..anymore...cant..m'tired"
Jolly put both his hands on his cheeks trying to wipe the tears
"I know baby, i know believe me. It's my fault I'm so sorry I shouldn't have brought him here"
"He...he wants me back.. but.. I.. cant I'm scared.. I dont want be kicked out again... I dont want be thrown out again. I dont want that.. i can't... it hurts so so bad.. but.. but he was mad again.. dont want that either ... dont know what to do...dont know.. dont know""I'm not mad at you Andy "
Both heads turned to find Alex stranding at the door. Jolly glared straight at him while standing up, he mouthed a "fix this" and left the bathroom.
Alex sat next to Andy and sighed "I'm not mad, in fact I'm so proud of you Andy. You are talking. And I'm proud of you. I always wanted you to be like this. To have no fear, to say what's in your mind" he faced him and held his hands
"I left earlier because I was shamed because you dont trust me anymore and I'm not .. blaming you for that.. you all have the right not to. I messed up and I deserve this. If I consider this as a punishment for what I did.. then I accept it .. I accept any punishment you want to give me.. tho I hope this punishment won't be a long harsh one. Have mercy on me yeah " he said chuckling when he saw Andy's shy smile "god how I missed this smile. How I missed you, you have no idea how I hate myself right now for .. all of this. I just hope I can go back time, I would have never let this happen. I would have killed myself before I let this happen. My little one.. you might grew taller and have some tattoos and smoke but you are still my little one. You always have and You always will be." He hugged him tightly
"Tho, we'll talk later about the tattoos and cigarette, dont think I didn't notice"...
