[In Tommy's POV]

"When were you going to tell me?" Adam yelled after a benefit show.

"What do you mean?" I spun around.

"All this hate mail!" Adam held up a huge bag. I felt tears forming in my eyes; I pushed them away.

"What? Hate mail is normal?" I laughed.

"Not this much, Tommy." Adam's voice got quiet and sad. "And that's not all. Tommy, it's one thing to get a few here and there; but not bags after bags from the same person."

"I didn't want you to worry." I said quietly, looking down.

"Tommy this is serious!" Adam yelled at me.

"How long have you known?" I asked quietly.

"Well, I just picked up you PO box, so..." Adam said.

"I'm so scared." I had an outburst, flinging myself into Adam's arms. I started balling my eyes. Adam held me close. As soon as I calmed down, I asked, "Did you read them?"

"Just a few." He sat me down on the couch. "How long as this been going on?"

"Well, I've always had a little. When I came out, it got worse. And then when we announced that we were engaged." I sniffled. This is the first time that I've admitted this to anyone.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Adam's eyes were full of concern.

My chest tightened. "They were threats about, about you." I hid my face in Adam's shoulder.

"You need to tell me when this happens." Adam demanded.

"But they were threats." I cried into his shoulder.

"I don't care. If you tell me we can stop this."

I started to cry harder. I shook into Adam's side. I was so afraid.

"Tommy, I'm going to call the cops right away, okay?" Adam managed to pry myself from his side. I huddled into the couch.

Adam texted our body guard. As soon as he showed up, opened the hotel door letting him in. "Hey Mike. Yea, we've been having a problem with the hate mail. It's really bad and it's all from one person. Can you please bring this to the police? Thank you."

"We'll let you know as soon as this is fixed." Mike patted Adam's shoulder and left with the bag.

"See Tommy. It's okay now." I slowly started to calm down. Adam and I watched a movie as I calmed down. It was about one in the morning when Adam left. "Good night baby." Adam kissed me.

"Um Adam? Can you please sleep in here with me?" I looked away, embarrassed.

Tears formed in Adam's eyes. "I was hoping that you'd ask."

We curled up together in bed. Almost right away, I fell asleep.

[In Adam's POV]

Honestly, I'm just as scared as Tommy. He fell asleep right away, curled up. The thin light from the bathroom shone on his face. It contoured his features beautifully. I watched his chest rise and fall in perfect rhythm. I was so transfixed that I jumped when my phone buzzed. Making sure that Tommy was still asleep, I checked my phone.

Hey Adam! We caught they guy. He's currently being brought in for questioning. They'll need you guys tomorrow. But for now, sleep well :)

I weighed the pros and cons of waking Tommy to tell him. I decided to do it so that he could sleep well.
