I think I should've used Alabama in the title of last chapter bc he was the one being hurt uh so I might change that later
Tw: death

Indiana sobs, pulling Alabama into his chest, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry-" He's rocking back and forth, trying desperately to stay calm, " why didn't you hit me?!"

He bites his tongue, it wasn't fair for him to be angry.

"Why didn't you hit me," his voice is barely above a whisper, "you could've lived."

He squeezes his eyes shut, trying to stop crying, he killed him. He killed Alabama.

"You said you wouldn't leave me," he's shaking now, "you said you would stay! You promised me!" He shouldn't be blaming Alabama for this, it was his fault, not Alabama's, "I'm sorry." He's pauses trying to calm down, "I'm sorry!"

He just wanted Alabama back.
