Alex doesn't know what to do with himself after everything that's happened. All he knows is that there's an emptiness in his chest now that wasn't there before, and it hurts like hell. He doesn't know how to fill the void that Lucas left in him, doesn't even know where to begin. Crying his eyes out seems like the only answer at the moment. At least the people around him are more sensible.
Trigger warnings:
Abusive relationship (in the past but is still a major part of the story). Anxiety attacks, elements of dubious consent, mention of suicidal thoughts, excessive drinking, violence and blood.
