Take The Monsters Away (boyxboy)

James

"Brittany, I can't really run yet," I sigh, laying on the couch while Brittany runs around. It's been about two days since I've been home, yet I can't work, so I'm kinda stuck at home. Thomas has been on night duty, considering my rib is fractured, and I can't really move as much.

"Hey Brittany, how about we all watch a movie." Thomas suggests hesitantly, turning on the TV.

As I sit on the couch, moving over slightly for them to get on. I kind of realize that Thomas did this so I could spend time with my family. As he turns on Frozen, Brittany is obsessed with that movie, it's watched at least once a week. With Brittany leaning on his shoulder, and me laying on his lap.

As the movie goes on, Brittany falls asleep, which Thomas takes as our cue to all go to bed.

"We need to talk." He explains, while carrying Brittany to her room.

While I slowly get up, I wonder what this talk is about? Well it's not during the day, and no suitcases, so he's not breaking up with me, right? Right?! Oh dear Jesus James calm down.

"Hey it's nothing bad," He laughs, "still wearing my engagement ring, I'm not calling this shit off."

   As we reach our room, I lay down beside him as he sighs.

     "James, I want you to press charges on Tyler, for rape," he starts, "the reason being, I know it had something to do with why he came after you."

      "Thomas I don't really want to, he's already in holding for assault, the court hearing is next week."

   "Please just..please just think about it." He gives up. He knows I don't like talking about this.

"Fine, Thomas." I sigh, grabbing a pain pill I set on my bedside table, trying to dull the pain of my ribs.

"I love you." Thomas pipes up, trying to rescue this conversation.

"I love you too."
