It had been an hour. I was locked up in my suite. They had taken Marcus away. God knows where they took him. I was too drunk. I was way too drunk.

Suddenly a servant knocked on the suite room.

"Did you bring him? Is he here!"

"Yes sir. We found him and brought him right over."

The servant stepped back outside of the room at that moment. In the next moment I felt myself hugging Jalen. God. I hadn't been so happy to see Jalen as I was now.

"You're OK," he stated, "...thank god..."

"Of course I'm ok."

"I want to apologize...look Djimon. Look at me. Djimon are you drunk?"

I was super drunk. I had been pacing around the room back and forth for an hour. After my uncle and the other royals took Marcus away I knew that something horrible was going to happen to him. They were going to jail him. They would put him on trial for my rape. What the fuck was going on in my life? There was no way possible that I was going to let that happen.

"I'm...I'm nice. Look what you apologizing for? Brolic snitched not you."

He paused.

"Yeah. Um...yeah. Oh. Um...regardless he's my brother," Jalen stated, "I wanted to apologize for him. I'm just glad you are ok and nothing happened to you. I would have never forgiven...him..."

At that moment Jalen finally hugged me back. He held me there. He was so warm. I felt so comfortable in his arms. It was an odd feeling really. Marcus was the only person that I felt comfortable with. Marcus was the only person who had ever given me this feeling. Now all of a sudden Jalen was giving me this feeling as well?

"Jalen...I fucked up..."

"What did you do?"

"I kissed Marcus."

Jalen rolled his eyes, "Yeah, that's a fuck up. What, you really into him or something? Stop leading the guy on."

"You don't get it."

"Homosexuality in my country is punishable by imprisonment. Homosexuality mixed with rape of a royal is punishable by death."

Jalen's eyes got wide all of a sudden, "That's a law."

I was pacing back and forth again. I tripped over my legs.

"I said I loved him."

"Is it true?"

Jalen looked at me at that moment. I was on the floor wallowing in my own misery. I couldn't believe that I put him in that sort of fucking situation. I couldn't believe that I just did that to myself. How the fuck could I have been so stupid as to do that?
"Yes..."

I knew I was telling this to Jalen. I knew that was a dumb thing to do. I cared about Jalen. I really did. I cared about Marcus too. When it came to pure emotion though Marcus was the person who was always there for me. Marcus was my hero. Marcus was the silent guy in the corner of the room that made me feel like a prince even when I was in the middle of the ghetto. There was something about Marcus that I had fallen in love with.

Admitting that to Jalen felt crazy though.

Jalen actually looked hurt at the moment when I admitted that to him, "Well you need to get him out."

"I can't. They took him."

"Aren't you the one in charge? I'm confused."

"I know but the law—"
