Grey left Mark's home. His chest felt heavy, he felt like he couldn't breathe.

"Alexia!" His voice rang through the house as he slammed the door shut then collapsed to his knees, clutching his chest.

Alexia came from the living room, to see Finn on his knees, tears soaked his shirt and loud sons left his lips.

She dove towards him and pulled him into her arms. He squeezed her body to his, inhaling her scent, she smelled like him.

He needed her, he needed them, Jackson, Mark, Alexia but mostly he needed his father yet he couldn't have him, he didn't want him to see his state.

Alexis kissed his forehead over and over again. She was never letting go of him, she loved him but she couldn't tell him that, not yet.

His breathing slowed, his body shook slightly, he was exhausted.

"Finn" his heavy eyes came to see a pair of eyes he though that he left back home. Alexia glared at Daniel, she told him to say away.

Daniel couldn't bare the sight of his son being broken anymore, he needed to intervene.

Grey shook his head and pushed his head further into Alexia's neck, he couldn't bare it anymore. The sight of his father quickly diminished, he wouldn't remember him in the morning, he wouldn't let himself do it.

Alexia managed to guide him to the couch after dragging him. She placed his head on her lap. He shut his eyes, his body had given up for the day.

"Am I the cause of this?" It was Daniels turn to cry

"Part of it" Alexia stroked Finn's head, the little boy Daniel had grown to love was in front of him, he was hurting but this time would be different wouldn't let he feel the pain anymore, Finn was his son and he was responsible for him, it was time to take up those responsibilities.

Alexia pulled out her phone from her pocket and texted Mark. She knew that Grey had to have gone there, there was no where else he would go and she couldn't stop him.

She sighed after reading Mark's response. Her heart cried for the man she loved, no one should go through that kind of pain.

"What happened to him?" Alexia's eyes never left Grey

"Do you know about Jackson?" Daniel frowned, he remembered attending his funeral. It was depressing to see the family cry over an empty casket

"Yes, he died. He was a nice boy, he kept me updated on Finn"

"He's not dead" Daniel was taken back

"He's alive, he just lost his memories"

"I have to meet him" Alexia shook her head

"No tonight. We've all had enough for today" Alexia slowly left the couch

"You can take the guest bedroom. I'm staying down here with Grey, he'll need me" Daniel tensed

"Then I'll stay here as well" Alexia sighed

"You can't, his night terrors are about you as well. It's not a good idea....please" Daniel's eyes fell to the ground, he agreed.

Daniel jumped out of bed, he was terrified by what he just heard. He ran through the hallway to the origin of the noise.

He opened the door to see Finn on the ground clutching himself. He went to touch him but he was pushed away

"What's going on?" Mark entered the room still half asleep

Grey was on the ground trembling. Mark walked past Daniel where he sat on the ground and wrapped Grey in his arms, Grey came to fight but he saw a different face.
