This extra has been in my drafts for a long time now. And it's about time i finally finished and published it. 
Hope you like it!

Beam's pov:

"Forthie, i have to go ok? I have class tomorrow and i need to finish a little homework as well." I said while taking my phone and wallet from the nightstand.

We were cuddling in bed after taking a shower and getting cleaned up.

But i stopped in my tracks when i felt a tug on my shirt.

I looked at him.

He was looking down and holding my shirt in one hand.

I slowly sat back down on the bed.

But he still didn't let go of my shirt.

"Forth?" I cupped his cheek and made him look at me.

He kept avoiding my gaze.

"Forth. What's wrong? You've been acting weird today." I turned to face him fully and turned his head to look at me.

He bit his lips and looked down.

I blinked.

He's been awfully clingy today.

Not that I'm complaining but he's been more quiet and less cheerful than usual. I could tell something was bothering him.

I didn't ask because i wanted him to tell me by himself.

"Does it have something to do with the fact that tomorrow is your birthday?" I asked slowly.

He flinched slightly.

I frowned.

"Forthie what's going on? Tell me."

I could feel worry crawling up inside me.

"St-ay... With me... Tonight... Pl-ease...." He muttered softly and clutched my shirt tightly in his fists.

"Forthie you're worrying me. Please tell me what's wrong." I said anxiously.

He moved closer to me and hugged me burying his face in my neck.

I rubbed his back gently.

"I... Don't like.... My birthday..." He mumbled after a few minutes of silence.

"You don't like your birthday? Why?" I asked.

His grip on my shirt tightened.

"My father.... He would always remind me how i should have never been born... How I'm just a mistake.... The beatings would be so much worse on my birthday every year...." He cried softly.

I bit my lips and tightened my arms around him.

"Please... Stay with me tonight..... Don't leave me alone..... I'm scared Bee...." He pleaded.

Tears formed in my eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere ok? I'm staying right here." I whispered soothingly in his ear.

He nodded against my neck.

We settled back under the duvet with his face buried in my neck.

I took my phone and texted Pha.

Me: Hey Pha

Pha: What's up?

Me: I won't be able to make it to class tomorrow. Cover for me ok?

Pha: What? Why?

Me: It's Forth. I'll explain later. Just cover for me.

Pha: Ok.
