"Oh my god!" Anna dropped the cup she was holding on the ground, it shattered causing Alex to flinch. The woman rushed to him and hugged him, gently of course. "Oh my god what happened to you?" She cried, pulling away to look him up and down. "Your lip is all busted...your eye!" She touched the bruise forming under his eye and he winced "I fell" He lied. Anna shook her head "Don't lie to me baby boy, Do NOT lie to me about this" She said sternly "Your not staying with him, you can NOT stay with him" She was making a loud fuss and people were looking at them, a regular known only as conner raised his glass and yelled "Hell yeah!" {No it's not ConnerEatsPants guys} Alex tried to pull away from the woman's embrace but she held tight. "Anna I can take care of myself" he said, Just then Karl and Nick walked in. Anna was rating about how Alex had to leave Schlatt, and he wasn't okay. "What's going on..?" Nick asked as he and his boyfriend Approached. "Nothing" Alex muttered, he turned his head away so that they couldn't see his face, but Anna was trying to show the two boys. She turned him to face them and Karl covered his mouth, "Alex..." He breathed. Nick reached to touch the bruise, gently and it sent tingles down Alex's spine. "I'm fine...I can take it. I can handle it" But even He was doubting these words. Could he really protect himself from Schlatt? How long until Schlatt actually does permanent damage? He couldn't protect himself last night, and he sure couldn't protect himself when Schlatt was angry. He felt Nick remove his hand and for a moment he felt coldness wash over him, but then the two men took his hands. "Alex...who did that to you?" Karl asked. Alex looked at them, he really shouldn't have. He burst into tears and told them everything. That night when he had lain in bed, feeling so empty that he could hardly move. All of those nights he had spent, cleaning up his own blood and broken bottles. And then..last night. Anna started to cry as she hugged Alex. "Oh honey...I had no idea...Oh I suspected something but I never thought it was that bad...oh im so so sorry " Alex patted her hand but his attention was trained on the couple. Karl had dragged Nick away to talk, and it looked like they were both agreeing. They walked over and looked at Anna who let Alex go and hesitated before walking away, though she was clearly listening in. "Alex you should stay with us..." Karl said "We talked it over, we would love to have you. We have a spare room, and it's a decent size.." Alex shook his head "I can't just..intrude. I don't want to get in the way really i'm fine-" "No your not! Alex you came to work today with a busted lip and a black eye, you can't just trip and have that happen to you. Your staying with us end of debate" Nick hissed "we won't take no for an answer" Karl said sternly. Alex broke down and for a good hour the boys comforted him. 

   "Finally your home" Schlatt said as Alex walked through the door, his face went from annoyance to anger when Nick and Karl walked through the door. "Who the fuck are you two?" He growled, slurring his words slightly. Nick and Karl didn't even look at him, they just followed Alex to the back room, and soon Schlatt followed getting more pissed by the second. "Don't ignore me!" he shouted. Nick threw him a glare as Alex slowly showed Karl to his drawers. They packed clothes while Nick worked on finding Alex's things in the bathroom. Schlatt was cursing and yelling angrily as he watched them do this. He saw Karl reach for one of Alex's hoodies and snatched up his arm, Karl let out a yelp and Alex jumped up, shoving Schlatt off "Don't touch him!" He blurted. Instantly his sudden burst of adrenaline disappeared and he was cowering as Schlatt advanced on him. 

"Did you just fucking shove me Alex?"
