After Paul fell asleep, Tommy laid beside him for a bit longer. He finally got up and picked up his cell phone from the night stand. Taking it into the bathroom, he slipped his glasses on and closed the door. He dialed a number and waited for the person on the other end to pick up.
"Hello? Tom, it's almost midnight there. What's wrong?"
"P-P-Paul. H-h-he made me unwrap my arms and h-h-he saw the bandages and now he finally knows."
"Knows what? What are you talking about?"
"I-I-I s-s-self harm and I-I-I cut myself and---"
"WHAT THE HELL!?"
"Don't yell." whispered Tommy. "I need you to come get me ."
The person on the other end asked to speak to Paul. "I want to know what the hell is going on."
Tommy said he didn't want to wake Paul up. "You can call him in the morning."
"If I need to come to Spain to get you, I need to talk to Paul first."
Paul walked in and took the phone. "Is this Jaime?"
"No, it's Pat. What's this about Tommy cutting?"
Paul was leaning against the door so Tommy had to stay in the bathroom. "Sit."
Tommy slid to the floor and wrapped his arms around himself. He stared at the cuts and started picking at them.
"Stop, Tom." said Paul grabbing hold of his husband's hands.
Tommy just stared at the floor. He heard Paul hang up a short time later.
"Come on, let's go back to bed."
Tommy let himself be carried back to bed and covered up. He felt Paul's arms go around him.
