Chapter 5
                          Family Problem/ Healing
Thursday morning 
Thomas POV
  Wednesday was a disaster, I feel like there's a better word for what happened... maybe catastrophe. Wednesday was the definition of a catastrophe, my dad came home yesterday ....with his new baby and if that wasn't bad enough we got nothing about Alexander. Believe me,seeing the love of my life being ill-treated isn't what I would wish on me worst enemy...but he was alive. The half blood was crying down stairs, breaking me form focus. "Thomas came help me with you brother"  My father called. "Have your mistress help you" I replied quickly.  " Thomas" I heard foot steps coming close to me. "Dad" I can call out names too, I was so pissed right now.  I can't deal with this insanity right now, the only person that can help me right is in no man land. 

  My room door opened, my dad came in and chaos followed behind him.  "Thomas, that's not fair" my dad has the audacity to say.  "Life isn't fair dad, you should that by now" I asked. "You should be more worried about you family instead of a boy you might break up with in a mouth or two"  I stand up, turn to face the man at question. Forget chaos, he brought stupidity.

  "What, who was there with mom when you run to Virginia. You can't tell me to be there for my family, when you left for years.  The only person that told me to be nice to you, isn't here. So Excuse me for trying to find only man that make me feel sane with you!"I yelled at the man in front of me. There was a long silence between us, you could hear a pencil drop. " His name is Peter"  He said weakly. " Congratulations, you new family begins" I turned my attention back to the computer. The door closed as the stupidity left with my father. I sighed ,closing my computer once more. I rested my head at the desk, remember the time Alexander and I was at the lake.

* With Alexander, some time before Thomas and his father conversations *

Rudy POV
After yelling at the boy's for there idiotic behavior. First Nick beating the kid close to death, then Carrot insane torment. I thought this would be quick,simple,easy. This should of been over by now, each day that's going's by is inches close to death of that kid. Nicks blood thirsty and fat patty is looking of a pig to fry. I sighed loud, feeling like I should rethink my life choices. Walking to his room with my med kit in my right and alcohol in my left . The unconscious boy was laying on the heartless cold stone floor. I rolled my as eyes at Nicks carelessness, pull him up on the wall in a sitting up position.

Two degree burns covered his chest, mixed with dry caramel and still run scarlet all mixed together made a grim sight indeed. Again I say poor boy. I didn't have medical alcohol, so rum will have to do. He flinched as the cold liquid engulfed his bloody scars. I looked up at him, fully ready to apologize for pain caused, but no sigh of  more activity wasn't visible. I rapped his chest in bandages, admiring my handy work when finished. 

  If you think his Torso was the only nightmare looking misshapen area on his body you are sadly mistaken. I was saving the worst for last, his left arm.  The nails in his knuckles made me whine at the sight, every know I didn't have to indoor it. I wonder if he can move his hand, I redid the process on his chest to his hand. One staple sever his skin around the Flesh opening scar, forcing the skin to reattach. A whimper was heard above me, looking up pain filled eyes met mine. "Sorry, I don't have anything to stop the pain. Here bite on this" I held up a pencil, he glared at me and my pencil. "Fine, Don't say I didn't warn you" I whispered. Staples continued to enter and pull closer. He flinch again, but that he as all the movement I got from him. I hope there was no infection as I rapped the last bandage around his arm. I stand up, looking down with pity, his glare looked deadly. I whispered my apologies, leaving the room without another word.

Alexander POV
Quiet take over the room, I never liked the quiet. In this time of despair I thought of the best movement in my life. Of course the movement was with Thomas,hidden within the great things we done together. I settled on one, unknowingly  Thomas was thinking of the same moment at the lake.

Third person POV
"Come on babe" Thomas said extending out a hand. Thomas just jumped into the towns lake, motioning Alexander to follow. "Thomas I don't like to water that much" Alexander replied. The Hurricane was about 10 feet tall ( I'm to lazy to see if it's true, let's just say that's true) and that was how deep the lack was. The memory fulled Alexander voyage of sight, Thomas words bringing Alexander back to the present. "But I'm here this time , I'll protect you" Thomas added. "Can we just finish our panic?". Before Thomas hopped into the airless lake, the couple was having a nice picnic. Talking about what ever came to mind.Silence filled the twilight night as Alex sighed softly.Alex hesitated but took his boyfriend hand, yelping as a strong force pull him in.

Thomas kissed his worried boyfriend,know his fears. Alex let go of his protection, not wanting to be pity be his love one. With that in mind, Alex splash water at this partner milk chocolate face. Thomas blank in surprises,then a wicked smile formed. People driving by the lake looked in wonder at the couple, splashing water at each other. As Alexander giggled, Thomas drove under water. A minute of silence, Alex started to get worried. "Tommy?" Alex called out with worry. The suddenly he was lifted up, Thomas holding him on his back. "Don't you dare drop me, I'm serious." Alex voiced. "I wouldn't dream of it, Lexi." Thomas said sweetly, but Alex was still nervous." I hate the pet name" Alex looked away flustered ,Thomas grinning with his angel like grin. "Your so cute when flustered through" Thomas was still grinning . Alex face turned scarlet, leaning back... his gasped. Alex went under, the water grabbed him pulling him down deeper.

In a panic, Alexander screaming in true terror. The memory of the grim, breathless night come back like a hurricane. His air left his lung to find the surface, leaving Alexander behind. The Ho2 replaced the oxygen quickly, as Alexander still screamed. The water muted Alexander, making is screams unheard. Thomas grabbed his boyfriend, pulling him back up to safety. Alex held on to Thomas tightly, grabbing the air that left him behind just seconds ago . "Your okay, your okay." Thomas kept on repeating those words as he carried Alex back to the car. Alexander held on to Thomas, never wanting to leave his side.  

The couple was sitting in the truck,as Alexander caught his breath. "You okay" Thomas asked. Alex struggling into Thomas chest, enjoy the warmth Thomas carried. "I'm with you, believe me  I'm fine " Alex said softy blushing. " Sorry I didn't get you soon" Alexander didn't answer, just cuddling closer in his boyfriend.  Thomas thinking's Alex was sleeping, he whispered three words important words. "I love you, Lexi " Alexander smiled, never hearing Thomas say his love his him. They never use the 'L' word before, never wanting to throw the word around when never really felt. Alexander heart skipped a beat, but his smile didn't fall. "I love you too Tommy" 

*Back with Alexander but still in Third person *

  Alex smiled at the memory, Thomas was damn cute when flustered. Alex still remember how ever with Thomas's milk chocolate skin, you could still see the scarlet in his cheeks.  Ever though Thomas miles apart for Alex, the hope that Thomas could hear his word of love. He messaged was carried by the wind, passed Washington house, The Schuyler sister house and passed John's houses but into Thomas's opened window.

  "I love you" Thomas head shot up, looking around his room. He could promise on his own life he heard his boyfriend voice. A smile formed on his face, as he fell into dream land.
