A Fighting Chance: A Merome/Poofless Fanfic

Part 21: Training

Ray's POV

We all get downstairs and Jerome, Mat and I start setting up the dumbies and the mats. So we dont get hurt during training of course.

"What the fuck is taking Rob and Mitch so long?" Mat asks

"I dont know. I will go get them while you guys finish setting up the stuff." I say.

I walk upstairs to Mitch's room first abd I knock on the door.

"Mitch, hurry up." I yell

"Be there in 1 min." Mitch replies.

I walk down to Rob's room and I knock on the door.

"Rob, may I come in?" I ask.

"Sure........." Rob replies weakily.

I open the door and I see Rob pratically lying on the ground. No shirt, no pants, no shoes, no socks. He is just sitting there in his boxers staring at a picture of Preston.

I walk up to him.

"Rob, are you ok?" I ask sitting next to him.

"I dont know." he manages to reply in between sobs.

I put my arm around him for confort and he lies his head on my shoulder.

"I know how you feel. To lose someone you love. I felt that way when I faked my death, kinda. I had to give up my old life and create a new one. But it all worked out in the end. I met the love of my life and I get to see my brother again. We will get Preston no matter what. I will help you get him back. I promise everything will be ok and that Preston is safe." I say to Rob

He looks up at me like a little kid, "You really think so?" he asks

"I know so." I say back to him smiling.

"C'mon. Get your ass up and put some clothes on and come downstairs to start training." I say a bit jokingly.

That got him to smile and I saw him blush. He had just noticed he was in his boxers.

I laugh and I get up to leave him to changr when I am stopped.

"Ray......" Rob calls after me.

I turn around, "Yes Rob?" I reply

"Thank You." he says smiling.

I smile back and I leave him alone to change and I head back downstairs.
