Funeral pt. 2

Alexander
After we calmed down John, he began to tell us the story about his turtle. It was pretty sad in the end John was crying again, Peggy handed him a tissue while James rubbed his back saying soothing words. "I-I'm sorry guys...I-I just..." John stuttered our desperately trying to form a sentence.

"No it's not your fault John you're mourning and we get that" James said while lightly grasping his hands. We sat and talked for a bit, we told funny stories that would make John laugh but he'd go to frowning in a matter of minutes.

I looked at Th-Jefferson who was laughing also but he still looked out of place, I mean he looked happy but I knew deep down he was hurting. I shook my head and turned away from him, I sat there quietly for minutes until Laf sat next to me.

"Mon ami are toi alright?" Laf asked quietly "huh oh yeah...I'm just thinking" I mumbled "mon ami if there's something bothering toi, toi can always tell moi" Laf said giving me a slight nudge "yea I guess so" I said with a slight chuckle "bien" Laf said while getting up and plopping down next to Herc.

*time skip to the ceremony*

During the ceremony Laurens started crying while crouching down towards the grave of his turtle. James tried to calm him down but it was no use, I stood back a little not wanting to cry too. I walked into the house and saw Thomas ;fuck it; standing in the kitchen "Hey Jefferson" I said sitting down in one of the stools.

"Hey hamilfuck" He said casual without looking up at me "not a good idea, Laurens may be mourning but he could still throw hands" I said with a smirk " thanks for the reminder" he said sarcastically "Cool jeffershit" I said with a laugh.

Thomas
Me and Alex sat in the kitchen for a few minutes until John ran inside and looked around frantically. He stopped looking around when his eyes landed on me, he narrowed his eyes and growled at me.

"Lex are you ok?" John asked Alex while walking over to him "yeah I'm ok, I got thirsty" he said causally not being bother by John's glare " I could've came in here and got you something to drink" he said while giving me sneaky glances "pfft no you couldn't" Alex said.

He got up and walked towards me and John instantly followed. "So John how are you feeling?" I asked trying to break the thick tension, John looked at me for a minute before mumbling 'fine'. "That's good. I'm sorry for your loss" I said giving him a small reassuring smile.

I saw John shoulders slightly relax as he looked apologetic "thanks..." he said. I need to fix this, I'm tired of having nobody to talk to and being left out of things. I want my friends back, I miss them. I looked down at the ground and thought long hard and good about this.

I turned on my heels and walked out the kitchen and towards the back door "hey, can everyone come inside. I have some explaining to do" I called out to the others. I waited for them to get up and follow me back inside.

Once we were inside, I sat everybody down and waited before taking a deep breath and letting it out. "I know you guys aren't that comfortable with me, because I said some pretty fucked up things. I wanted to tell you guys....I'm sorry like really really sorry" I said with so much sincerity.

Angelica looked at her sisters then at Laf and Herc who looked at John, James and Alex. They all had a silent conversation going on, until James spoke up "we accept your apology but we need to know why you decided to leave us" James said while everyone nodded with agreement.

I felt my heart do flips as I expected that question, I tried to calm my nerves and tell them the reasons but my mind thought of all possible things that could go wrong; what if they don't believe me and get even more mad at me? What if my dad finds out and start to beat me again? Will they ever forgive me? Will my dad let me see them? Will I die before confessing to Alex?;

"Um...I...um...my dad....h-he uh...he t-told me that i-if I didn't stop t-talking to y-you guys h-he'd....he'd...." I didn't finish my sentence because I was to overwhelmed. I felt hot tears run down my face as I tried to tell them why but my sobs would break through every time.

"Thomas? Are you ok?" James asked while walking towards me "n-no...I'm not o-ok" I stuttered as sobs raked my body "what did your dad do to you mon ami?" Laf said while sitting down next to me. I felt my throat close up and I began to choke on my sobs, I tried so hard to get it out but I couldn't; I just couldn't;

Alex then abruptly stood up and marched towards me, he quickly grabbed my wrist and led me upstairs. He walked into a spare bedroom, he closed the door and locked it. He then sat me down on the bed while he sat in front of me, "now tell me what's wrong?, I know you were under a lot of pressure in there so I brought you up here. Tell me what he did Thomas" Alex asked with a calm and caring voice.

Alexander
I sat patiently waiting for Thomas to explain but all he did was sit there and sniffle every so often. "Thomas please tell me what he did" I asked while grabbing his hand "I-I'm trying...But I can't..." he mumbled while choking on his tears.

"It's ok Thomas, just breath in and out" I said while breathing in and out, he quickly copied me until he was calm enough to speak. "Are you ready to talk?" I asked while rubbing soothingly over his knuckles "y-yeah" he mumbled.

Thomas took a deep breath and looked up at me, he began to speak about what his father did to him. When he was finished I felt so mad I couldn't contain myself but I tried. "He did that to you?" I asked trying to hold back my anger.

"Y-Yeah...he d-did that t-to me..." he said while looking down with tears in his eyes "Hey don't cry" I told him while grabbing his hands "I'm trying not to..." he mumbled as tears rolled down his cheeks.

I quickly reached forward and wiped away his tears as they slowly gathered at the bottom of his chin. I grabbed both of his hands while he calmed down "it's gonna be ok Thomas I promise" I whispered to him as I pulled him into a hug which he returned.

No one's POV
While that was going on at John's house, Jefferson's older sister Jane was on the phone with their father. "No you listen to me!! You don't hit your child dad and that's the truth!!" She shouted over the phone, she went silent then she began to yell again " so what if his friends are gay!! You can't tear him away from his friends because of that!!!" She shouted once more.

She went silent again then she calmly stated "you're a terrible father, Thomas loved you and he thought you loved him back but I guess he was wrong about you. If you truly love your son you would apologize and make it up to him the best way that you can" She then hung up the phone.
