I love you baby.

Chapter 1

He started drinking again. I freaked out. I flipped out on him. I was going crazy and yet he was still keeping me calm. This boy has

been with me for a really long time and i don't know what I would do without him. But I really thought that everything was okay. That

text at 1 a.m. The text that brought back all those horrible memories of my past.

I cried that night. I didn't sleep at all.

I saw him the next morning and he was yelling. He wasn't sober, but he saw me and his eyes softened. He stopped looking mad. He

came over to me and wrapped me up in a hug. He smelled like alcohol. But it was still him.

"I'm so sorry" He whispered in my ear.

"Its alright" And I hugged him tighter.

This was the boy who used to be the happiest person on the planet. He used to smile at the ground for no reason. Now he'll barely

bring out enough to smile at me. He's hurting. He's broken.

I love him. He is abusive when he is drunk. But he'll never hurt me on purpose. And this I know.

He's become my best friend over the last few months. I am one of thhe reasons he is alive. And he is one of the reasons why I'm alive

Today.

"Alex?" I called his name, knowing he was nursing a hangover now.

"Yeah?" He questioned me.

"Why did you start drinking again..?" I almost whispered more asking myself then him.

"Things" He paused "They got bad again" He rolled over to look at me in the eyes.

"I would like to send your dad in a match box to hell."

At this he chuckled. I love this kid. "Yeah I know you and me both sweetheart"

"If only." And he slung his arm around me, snaking it around my waist.

"You know I love you right?" He mumbled burying his head into my hair.

"Yeah. I love you too Alex."

His lips crashed into mine. And as always we move our lips in sync and its our own world.

"Please don't ever leave me" I almost pleaded.

"I promise you. If you promise me the same"

I didn't hesitate. "I promise."

This is us. Were the broken kids. Who have seen too much bad in the world than we should, but with each other were almost stable.

Thats why I love having him. He has never left me alone. When things get bad I always ran to him. I let him drink himself drunk, But it

eases the pain. If I wasn't broken, I wouldn't let him, but its bettter this way. Him drunk is better than letting him kill himself. Its a

broken kid thing.

*********************

At around noon, we walked hand in hand out to the park. He's 5'8" and I'm the shorty at 5'1" but we make it work.

My phone buzzed softly in my pocket. "hello.?" I said hitting the receive button. Alex gave me the questioned look. "Oh hey dad."

Alex's eyes grew big, and gripped my hand tighter. "No, I'm fine just with Alex. Yeah, its all good." Then he began yelling. I closed my

Phone tears threatening to spill from my eyes.

"hey" I was all of a sudden wrapped into the biggest bear hug ever known to man. "shh..don't cry" He hugged me tighter "He's not

worth your tears"

"I know." I managed a smile and we walked right through the park back to the house. See, we can walk in complete silence and be closer than ever.

Short chapter sorry. I just needed to set the story up and get it into motion at the mood and characters and crap.
