Black Waves

When 90 Days Isn't Enough

Remington's eyes go wide, remembering who had him in one last. He hurriedly pulls up his pants and wraps his arms around himself. Andy frowns and pulls up his pants as well. Remington's eyes start to water, feeling his body start to shake.

"Talk to me baby, what's going on?" Andy grabs onto the man and holds him close. 

Remington gulps and looks around, "I don't feel safe. Can we please go home?" 

Andy nods and grabs Remington's hand, walking them back to the car. 

"Was it too much for you too soon?" Andy asks when they are finally home, laying in bed. Remington shakes his head and snuggles close to Andy. 

"I want to do kinky shit with you, I've even fantasized a little about it, but there are some things that William did that I never told you." I feel so fucking ashamed, used. Andy rubs his lover's head and listens.

"He did have me in a ball gag for a little bit and it was scary. I... I mean... I don't think...uh..." He looks up at the man. "I think I'd like it with you, but not yet. And when we do, I need you to be patient with me because it might make me scared again. But I want to break through all the fears from him."

Andy nods and hugs his lover tightly. "I need to fucking kill him Remi. I need to watch the life drain out of his fucking eyes."

Remington whimpers, tearing up. "Sometimes I still f...feel him...and Andy, when I'm with you, I only want to feel you... just, maybe, when we do um, things, can we be in a place where I can see you the entire time? So I know it's you?"

Andy nods and kisses his head. "I got you baby. Close your eyes for now and go to sleep. No nightmares."

Remington closes his eyes and nods. "Please protect me," he mumbles.

"Always my darling," he rubs his lover's back. His phone vibrates beside him but he continues to care for his man. Remington softly snores shortly later and Andy sighs. I need him to feel safe. He looks at his boyfriend's wrists and kisses them softly. They will heal soon completely and will be just a pink scar. He picks up his phone and reads a text from the prosecutor. 

Jerry- Call me ASAP.

Andy gulps and slides out from under his boyfriend, covering him up in the process. He goes out to the balcony and dials his number.

"Jerry, please tell me something good."

"Andy, it is anything but. William copped a plea deal. He is pleading guilty for third degree rape and stalking. The judge is only giving him one year in prison."

"Are you fucking kidding me? 1 year? 1 fucking year for violating and harassing my boyfriend? 1 mother fucking year for forcing him to fuck him? What the hell is this world going to? I cannot tell my boyfriend that his rapist will be out on the streets in only 1 year!"

Jerry sighs, understanding Andy's grief. "Andy, I'm know he has friends in high places. That's the only way he didn't get 1st degree. 3rd makes no sense but the judge won't budge. But it gets worse. Yes, 1 year. But he can get out in 3 months with good behavior."

Andy looks at his sleeping boyfriend through the glass door. "I'm going to have to move. I can't keep Remi on the west coast if he will be near. He's going to be scared to death."

"The restraining order is still in tact. So you can call the police if he tries to contact him at all. Tread carefully, because Remington cannot contact him either. Don't get yourself into trouble with this. I know it's complicated because it involves your career."

Andy hangs up and texts Sebastian and Emerson.

Andy- I haven't told Remi yet but William was only sentenced to 1 fucking year. He can get out by 3 months based on behavior. I'm so pissed. But I'm worried for Remi. I don't think he will handle any of this well.

Sebastian- Are you kidding me? Only 3 months? 

Emerson- Don't tell him yet. I don't know if he will but I'm scared he will kill himself or something

Andy gulps, going back into the room and lays down next to his boyfriend, who is sleeping peacefully.

Sebastian- Andy,  you seriously cannot leave his side. I know he will try to hurt himself. If we all need to take turns being with him then so be it. Don't even let him go in the bathroom by himself

Andy- I'm not going to tell him yet. I think we should all come together and tell him. He told me tonight he basically doesn't feel safe and to keep him safe. He had flashbacks of his rape when we were intimate and it threw him off the edge completely

Remington whimpers and rolls over, looking for Andy with his eyes closed. Andy quickly goes to Remington and holds him close. "I'm here, I'm here, shhh."
