Black Waves

When Emmy Visits

Remington sleeps most of the day away while Andy stays by his side. Andy made some toast with Nutella spread on it with a glass of lemonade. He rubs his lover's back and wakes him up gently. Remington rests his head on Andy's lap and shakes his head at the food. 

"Baby love, you have to eat something. Take one bite, okay?"

Remington takes a small bite from the toast his boyfriend is holding. He turns around and lays his head back in Andy's lap, facing his stomach. "No more," he whimpers. Andy rubs his head and comforts him back to sleep. He sighs, hating to see his boyfriend in this state of panic that is exhausting him of even being awake. I want to find William and bash his head in. He gets a text from Emerson.

Emerson- Hey I just landed. Where are you guys

Andy- We are at my house. Go ahead and come right in

An hour later Emerson walks in the house.

"We are up here!" Andy yells. Emerson comes up and sits next to his brother. 

"He won't eat or drink anything Em. He just wants to sleep and when he does wake up he panics until he falls asleep."

Emerson nudges his brother. "Hey asshole, it's me, wake up." 

Remington groans and sits up wearily. He hugs his brother. "I missed you," he whimpers. 

Emerson passes him the plate of toast. "Then eat something. Keep your strength up, Remi."

He shakes his head and leans back on his boyfriend. "Not hungry." 

"Baby you haven't eaten all day, I'm worried about you." Andy rubs his back gently.

Remington frowns and picks up a piece of toast and nibbles off of it. 

"So, what's going on now. Are they arresting the guy or what are we waiting for?" Emerson says, looking angry. 

"The detectives are investigating everything. They did a rape kit on Rem and are looking at surveillance video from the club. So now we are waiting."

Remington puts down the toast and starts playing with his fingers. Emerson hugs him tight. "Can't we find the fucker ourselves?"

"I want to so fucking bad but they said not to contact him at all. Which is hard because I have to go back to tour soon. I'd rather just cancel it."

"Hey, um, I'm going to take a bath, okay?" Remington says, looking at his boyfriend, who nods at him. He leaves the room and Andy runs his hand through his hair.

"It's my fucking fault, Em." 

"Don't blame yourself for any of this Andy. You didn't tell the creep to drug my brother."

Andy sighs and rubs his forehead. "Me and Rem had a fight that night. We didn't stay together at the party. Lonny saw him walking with William into the private rooms and when we went to go find him, William was on top of him. I thought he was cheating on me, Em. But his face was turned the other way. I never looked to see if he was awake. I just thought..." 

"If you would have known what he was doing Andy you would have killed him. Don't blame yourself. You didn't know and it's not your fault for not knowing. There's only so much you can do and this guy needs to be arrested. Remington probably wasn't his first and won't be his last."
