Black Waves

When He Listens

Remington texts his brothers and lets them know he will be at his house for the remainder of the break. He hasn't been back in the house since the break in. His brother's made sure the door was fixed and everything had been cleaned up. But Remington still remembers it all. He walks upstairs to his bedroom and falls back on the bed, sobbing into the pillow. He looks at his phone and sees Andy still hasn't responded to anything or even read anything for that matter. 

Remington- I know you said not to talk to you again but I went to your house and got all of my stuff out. I left your key on the coffee table. Thank you for everything, Andy. I know you hate me but you made these last 6 months amazing. I'm going to miss you. Sorry for fucking up your life.

He sets his phone down and walks into the bathroom, filling up the bathtub. He undresses and sees bite marks and bruises running up and down his body. His eyes fill up with tears and he feels so exposed. There is now a slight purple bruise on his cheek from where Andy hit him. He fucking hates me. So nasty. Whore. He grabs a razorblade from the medicine cabinet and hisses as he sits back into the water, the bruises exhaling all the pain. 

He turns off the water and leans his head back. Whore. He can still feel William's hand on his thigh. How he grabbed his hair and shoved himself in his mouth. But that's all he can remember. Whore. He picks up the blade and slashes his left arm, drawing it up his arm. He whimpers and does the same to his other arm. Whore. He doesn't think he did it deep enough to kill him but maybe it'll replace the gross feeling he has all over him from William with pain. Slut. He scrubs his body and closes his eyes. The tears are burning his eyes at this point and he doesn't want to be alive anymore. 

Andy sobs when Remington leaves. He saw him crying but how can he stand there and lie to him? Black Veil Brides has another show tonight but Andy is feeling so dreadful that he has them cancel it. He takes a long shower but cannot stop thinking about Remington. He cannot be alone anymore so he calls Lonny.

"Do you think you can come over? Some more shit just happened." Andy says, trying not to cry. "Yeah man let me shower and I'll be right there."

Andy takes a nap and wakes up about 2 hours later to knocking on his door. Lonny has a case of beer and smiles. "Alright, spill the tea. What happened now?"

Andy opens the beer and sighs. "He came here this morning and I broke up with him. He acted like an idiot and pretended like nothing happened. Said he didn't fuck him." A tear slides down his cheek and he quickly wipes it away. "I told him I saw him and he looked so fucking upset and confused. Said the dude spiked his drink. I can't take any lies. I...I fucking slapped him. I can't believe I hit him." 

Lonny frowns and takes a drink from his own beer. "This all doesn't add up. Something weird is going on. Do you think Remington would be the one to cheat?"

Andy shakes his head. "He was always scared I was going to cheat on him because his exes did. I just never saw this shit coming. William is a fucking snake."

Lonny puts on Deadpool and both the men watch it. The movie is almost over and Lonny's phone starts ringing. "It's Sebastian." 

Andy looks down and sighs. "Don't tell him you are with me."

Lonny answers the phone. "Hey Sebby, what's going on?"

"Hey Lonz. Were you with Rem last night? Something went down and he is freaked out."

Lonny puts it on speaker phone and tells Andy to be quiet. "No, I saw him though for a minute with another man though... is it true he cheated on Andy?"

Sebastian sighs, "I don't think he did Lonny. He only talked to me for a little bit but he thinks his drink got spiked or something. He said he woke up in a lot of pain and naked. He's crying because he thinks he was raped but doesn't think men can get raped. He's a whole mess."

Andy's eyes widen. "Fuck, are you heading to be with him now?" Lonny asks. "I can't, I'm on a trip with Larissa. But I'm going to keep calling him and make sure he's still alive. Poor fucking Andy though, I can't imagine what he must be thinking."

Lonny nods, "Yeah. I'm going to go find him though and see what's up. I'll call you later. Enjoy your trip."

He hangs up and looks at Andy. "Well, fuck."
