"fuck off will!" josh shouted as will threw a pillow at him, alex's heart ached as he sat back down in the circle. george's words still echoed in his head, he was trying hard to keep the tears in. he tried to wrap his head around what had just happened.

"alex?" james clicked his fingers in front of alex's face, he had zoned out without even realising and a single tear was trickling down his rosy cheeks "you alright?" alex just stared up at him begging the tears not to burst out of him. he shook his head at james and left the room, making a beeline for the small bathroom in the hall.

everyone turned to look at george who was staring at the door that alex had just gone through. "george.. what did you do?" they all asked "nothing. i didn't do anything!" george said with a very confused look on his face.
"i'm going to see if he's okay" james said and he stood up and left the room leaving silence behind him.

james found alex sitting on the edge of the bath, hoodie pulled over his hands, crying quietly. he sat next to the smaller boy and gently put his arm round him and pulled him into a hug, alex put both arms round james his his face. "alex, what's wrong?"
" 's nothing" alex sniffed looking up at him.
james sighed and patted alex's back.
"did george say something?" he asked, trying not to be pushy, alex just vigorously shook his head in response, he hated lying to james.

they sat in the silence for a couple minutes before heading back to the room where the rest of the boys were. when they got back the rest of the group were still sitting in the same circle they had been when james left, george looked kind of out of it as he looked up at alex when he entered the room. he held his hand out and pulled alex down next to him. he looked into his eyes as if he was searching for something until he pulled him into a warm hug.

alex wasn't the type to like hugs, but when it came to george he didn't mind one bit, in fact he loved them. he gripped the back of george's t-shirt that was in fact still james', george rubbed his back gently and whispered "are you okay now?" his voice sounded genuinely concerned, he let go of alex and looked at him, alex nodded and smiled weakly.
