After seeing what was in the envelope. Alex rushed to the bathroom to throw up everyting he ate that evening .. He then went back to hide it so that no one can ever find it ..
It made him sick to see the pictures
It made him sick to see the horror that Andy lived through..

....

Alex noticed how distant Andy became how quiet he is . Alex also noticed how he is trying hard to hide his face with his hair
And how insecure he is
How he is refusing to go out
Or to meet new peak people
His therapist said that he is grieving.. That he is reacting to the new life he is having and that he knows exactly the way he lived before.. She told Alex to give him his time to grieve to react and to show his feelings .. So Alex did as she told him but also he didn't want to let him suffer alone .. He wanted to be there for him to show him that he is not alone . that he is loved and safe...
While Andy was in the bathroom Alex knocked quietly getting worried
"Andy ? Are you okay ?"

No respond

"Andy I'm coming in "
Alex opened the door to find Andy in the corner hugging his knees to his chest ..

"Andy what's wrong" said Alex sitting next to him

"N-not w-ant to b-be hurt -gain.... Please"

"No one will ever hurt you again Andy I promise please don't be scared "

"T-tired ... Want to sleep b-but c-can't .. C-can't slee-sleep " Andy swallowed and wiped some tears then looked up at Alex .. He held Alex's hand to his chest
" he comes h-he .. Why ? Hum w-why
I was not b-bad I did all- all he said t-to d-do I was good-good but h-he still pun-punish me why ? He hurt me bad s-so bad and others too -th-they hurt me h'he let they-them hurt me and fuc-hurt me down-there..he ...he "
By then Andy was sobbing hard and gripping at his hair and Alex was speechless and in tears he reached to hug the smaller boy to calm him down

"Shush sweetheart everything will be okay I promise "

"Please Alex m-make them goway please .. I see them I..I see them in my head ...I see them in sleep .. I do not sleep I .. Not want to see them b-but I am so much t-tired Alex please I.. I want to sleep please Alex please ...   "

"Shush you'll be fine I'll help you sleep okay I'm here for you Andy you are not alone and they are not here they can't hurt you anymore alright ...come let's get out of here ..let me make you a soup and you relax okay "

While getting up Alex noticed that the mirror was not in place
"Where is the mirror Andy ?"

Andy pointed to behind the sink
"Th-there"

"Why ? "

"I put it th-there I I am s-sorry "

He led Andy out of the bathroom and they say at the bad facing each other
"Andy can you tell me why ? Why you took it off of it place. ?  "
Andy being nervous afraid that maybe what he did would apset Alex
"I ... I ..I am sorry .. It just coz ..I not want t to look at m-mine f-face nymore.. I do not like-it it ugly "

Alex then sigh and pushed Andy's hair away and kissed every scar visible on his face starting the scars on his forehead from being slammed to walls
And kissed the dark circles around his eyes from the sleepless nights ..
And kissed the scars on his cheeks from the beatings and the hard hands with rings that slapped him ..
And kissed the scars on each side of his lips from being forced to open up his mouth wide to blow the sick pedophiles and psychopaths...

"How many times do I have to say that you . Andy Winter. Is not ugly hum ? "

He looked at Andy right in the eyes
"You have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen in my whole 24 years old life "
Andy smiled with wide open eyes looking at like his crazy for thinking that
"I'm saying the truth .. You are beautiful .. Sweet ... Kind ... And innocent.. You don't deserve that life ..you don't deserve that treatment .you Andy Winter .deserve happiness .. Joy ... You deserve love .. You deserve care and kisses and hugs and tickles.." said Alex while tickling him .. Andy was the happiest at the moment laughing and smiling...

"You deserve every good thing in the world ..."
