You're Not Alone, I'm Here (Mictor Fuencest)

Chapter Two

"Pl-please stop." Vic gasped. His father picked him up and threw him on the staircase.

"Go to your room."

Vic didn't waste any time crawling up the stairs and into Mike's room. He sat on the bed and cried until Mike came out of the shower.

"Vic, what happened?" Mike asked and rushed over to his brother. Vic wrapped his arms around Mike and squeezed him as tight as he could.

"M-Mike... h-he hit me-me and-"

"Shhh. Shh. It's okay." Mike whispered.

"No it's not. I-it hurts."

"Where?"

Vic held onto Mike's shirt, just sobbing. "Everywhere."

Mike sighed. "I'm so sorry, Vic."

Mike gritted his teeth in anger, not only was he made at his father, but mad at himself. He knew he needed to do something to stop this, but he was scared himself. He didn't know what to do. He didn't like someone hurting Vic.

"Vic, I'm gonna kill him." Mike whispered and slowly stood up from the bed. Vic gasped and grabbed his arm.

"No, Mikey. Please don't go down there. He'll hurt you. Please st-stay with me." Vic said in a trembling voice. Mike sighed and kissed the top of Vic's head.

"Okay. Fine. But I'm not letting him hurt you ever again. Okay?"

Vic just nodded and pulled his little brother next to him. He laid down, resting his head in his lap. Mike ran his fingers through Vic's hair and stared in his eyes.

"Mike..."

"Yeah?"

"Never mind. It's retarded."

Mike chuckled. "What is it?"

"Well," Vic sighed. "Do you think I'm ugly?"

"Vic, you're beautiful. Why would you think that?"

"Well... dad said I was ugly and I-"

"He's stupid. Don't listen to him. I find you extremely sexy."

Vic felt his cheeks heat up. He smiled and giggled. Mike even blushed himself but looked away, hoping Vic wouldn't notice. Vic took Mike's hand and laced their fingers together.

"Thanks for being here for me. I feel really pathetic for crying like that."

"Don't. It's okay to cry you know. Just promise me you won't ever hurt yourself."

Vic smiled. "Only if you promise you won't hurt yourself either."

"Vic! Wait!"

Vic stopped walking and looked behind him to see his best friend Jaime running up to him. Vic smiled, nearly giggling when Jaime tripped.

"How's it going?" Jaime asked and gave Vic a fist pump.

"Okay. You?"

"Great I guess. Where's your boyfriend?"

Vic raised his eyebrows. "What boyfriend?"

"Mike. Your little brother. The guy that lives with you."

"What are you talking about?"

Jaime put his hands on his hips. "You know what I'm talking about. You're in love."

"Jaime, we're brothers."

"So? I'm for the incest! You guys would be super cute together. Ask him out."

"I'll pass on that." Vic said with a chuckle.

"Well if he asked you out, would you say yes?"

Vic sighed. "Okay, Jaime, if Mike asked me then yeah."

Jaime grinned. "Yes!"

"By the way, there's a party Friday. You should come, bring Mike, get drunk, and get laid."

Vic chuckled and shut his locker. "Sure. Maybe."
