Chapter 2
The three boys arrive back at Remington's house and Sebastian pulls into the driveway to let his brother and Andy out of the car. They thank Sebastian for driving and wave goodbye as he drives away.
Once inside, the boys take off their shoes and walk upstairs to Remington's room. Remington pulls out a pair of sweatpants and a Batman shirt for Andy to use as pajamas and hands them to him. Andy thanks him and walks off to the bathroom to get changed.
While Andy's getting changed, Remington changes into a pair of basketball shorts and a My Chemical Romance shirt. Andy comes back into the room and they both go back downstairs.
"I'm gonna make some tea. You want any?" Remington asks Andy as he heads into the kitchen.
"No thanks." Andy whispers quietly and goes to the living room, curling up on the couch.
While Remington is making himself some tea, Andy feels his phone vibrate. He pulls it out and sees 37 text messages from Ashley.
"I'm so sorry Andy"
"Please let me explain!"
"I love you!"
"Please answer me!"
"Are you at least safe?"
"Please tell me if you're okay!"
"Andy please I'm worried about you!"
"Andy?"
Andy feels his eyes fill with tears for what seems like the 100th time tonight and shuts his phone off, ignoring all of Ashley's messages. He hates himself for crying so much, but he doesn't know what else to do. He's in so much pain and there's nothing that can make it better.
When Remington walks into the living room, he sees Andy curled up on the couch and sits next to him. He sees the tears in Andy's eyes and pulls him into a hug. Andy gladly accepts and brings himself as close to Remington as he can get. Andy snuggles into him and rests his head on his chest, wrapping his arms around his waist. Remington holds Andy tightly and waits for him to speak.
"He keeps texting me." Andy whispers as he lets the tears fall. "He says he's sorry and that he loves me, but I don't believe him. I don't want to go back." Andy says as he hides his face in Remington's chest, crying softly into his shirt.
"I'm sorry you have to go through this, Andy. I promise it'll get better." Remington says as he rubs Andy's back and strokes his hair.
Andy cries for a little while before eventually calming down. Once he's calm, Remington checks the time and sees that it's just passed 4am. He takes Andy up to his room and lets Andy sleep in his bed, saying that he will sleep on the couch. As he turns to leave the room, Andy grabs his wrist and gently pulls him back.
"Please stay? I don't wanna be alone." He whispers as more tears fall from his eyes.
Remington nods and climbs in bed next to Andy, allowing him to cuddle up to him and cling to him, hiding his face in his chest and hugging him tightly. Remington holds him tightly and rubs his back. He feels Andy start shaking lightly as his breathing get heavier. He then feels his shirt getting damp, making him realize that Andy's crying again.
Remington's heart breaks for him. He hates that his best friend and love of his life is in so much pain. He holds Andy tighter and continues rubbing his back until he eventually cries himself to sleep. He wishes there was more he could do to help him but for now, all he can do is stay with him and hold him.
