Alana-only had four people in her life her best friend, sister and her nieces she only ever had people like her for her...
I was watching the club, I haven't talked to anyone since that party and Savanna's left the country on a trip. I try to do some work but it's all quite boring. I go grab something to drink then go back upstairs and lay down. It's been so boring since Axel left. Someone enters my office without knocking. I look up and it's Jeremiah I was about to yell at him when I see his face he looked irritated and mad.
"We have to go get him" he says quietly "Why" I ask he shows me a video of Axel just sitting their like a shell you could see some bruises that were poorly hidden, and people wonder "we stole him"from his family when we were kids. "This was from when we FaceTimed earlier." Jeremiah says looking at his phone.
"We need to leave know I'll call the pilot you text him he needs you"I say grabbing my phone and calling the family pilot. I knew I shouldn't have let him go I swore to him I would protect him.
"I'm scared"12 year old Axel said to me he was hiding behind me. "Their going to find me"he says and starts crying.
I was going to laugh his English accent was adorable he just moved to Italy for his family business. I hug the shorter boy he was my best friend. "They said I should die because I'm a girl and not a boy" he says wiping his tears "but I am a boy" "I know you are you the best boy everyone wishes they were like you" I said.
"If they ever do anything to you come to me and I will protect you." I promised him that day and I meant it for the rest of our lives. "I hate it their so much I wish I could live with you"
"You can let's go ask my mama" I saying pulling him out our secret tree house. My mom agreed and when she told my dad he got mad since he saw little Axel like a son so he took care of his parents like he took care of all the other problems. They never tried to say anything to him again even when we went to get his stuff they still said nothing.
Romeo Romeo Romeo "Are you ok?" I hear Jeremiah ask "Yea Yeah I'm fine"I start walking to my private elevator that goes to my garage with Jeremiah behind me. He can never forgive I broke our promise I didn't protect him. Me and Jeremiah get in my car and I drive to the hanger my planes in. I text my assistant that I won't be hack for a week. I get in the plane and sit their he's never going to forgive me.
I put my Air pods in when Leo called me. We always know when something's wrong so we call each other. I hear screaming in the background. "What's wrong Leo, what's happening?" I ask him "No what's happening you seem upset" he ask me. "Nothing really, just that I broke my promise to Axel, my pilot had to take the long way so it'll take an extra hour, theirs been an increase in fights at my club all the usual things." I says "Theirs no way you could have broken that promise"He was the only person I told about the promise. "I did I let him get hurt, I shouldn't have let him go." "It's not your fault he got hurt"Leo says to me. "Yes it is he'll never forgive me." "Your his brother he will forgive you he loves you"He says getting it rushed out when I hear another scream. "Ok what's happening their?" I ask Leo. "Mias having the baby" He says happily then he requests to face time. "I accept but I don't want to see that" I say I stay on the phone so I can see my little niece they name her Raine. We get off the phone when they say we only have 20mins till we land. I change out of my suit and into some white jeans with a blue grey and white jacket.

We get off the plane and into my drivers car. I give them the address of Axels family house. They take us their and their are multiple cars out front I get out and open the door theirs no need to knock if their not going to let me in. "What are you here" His dad ask me I push past him I know he wouldn't hurt me because he's scared of my dad. I see Axel sitting their looking like a shell he's not smiling he looks dull. I run to him and pull him into a hug. I guess Jeremiah went and got his stuff. "Let's go" Jeremiah says "No your not leaving until my son is treated he's not gay" He says looking mad at Jeremiah. "My son isn't a fa-" before he can finish Jeremiah punches him. I pull Axel up and just pick him up. "I'm sorry"I say as I carry him out with Jeremiah behind us. We get in the car and I tell them to take us to his favorite restaurant. We get Crepes and he barely eats any even though their his favorite food. "Mia had his baby they named her Raine. The name you liked Raine it would have been better if they named her Juliet or Jules but I guess that works." I see a slight smile so I keep talking about Raine. "Do you want to see her. I call Leo and he awnsers tired it's only like 1 their. Axel wants to see Raine." "She's sleeping right now" "Well show us her sleeping" I hand my phone to Axel when Leo shows Raine. "Raine" Axel says that's probably the first words he's said. "Yea we named her the name you and Mia liked. Raine Bruno." Leo says we have to start get going. The pilot texts me and says the tank is filled. Axel gives me my phone back and I ask them to get us crepes in a box. I pay and we get in the car. The driver takes us back to the plane and Jeremiah puts his stuff in the plane.
Axle lays down and pulls out his phone, he text me "It's not your fault you kept your promise." I look up at him and he just puts his phone down and lays down on the couch.
