Chapter 120
Kevin had one arm around Todrick's back, the other over his legs while Todrick sat on his lap. Todrick rested his head on Kevin's shoulder, trying to pay attention to the television, but struggling with all the things on his mind. Todrick's eyes teared up again as his mind ran away from him. Kevin kissed his temple. "No, Tod. No more tears." Todrick reached up and wiped his eyes a few times. "Gosh, I'm sorry. I'm such a baby..." "Aw, honey. That's not what I meant." Todrick looked up at him with wide eyes. Kevin closed the gap between them and set his hand on Todrick's face while he kissed him. Kevin pecked his lips once, twice and three times before he stopped and smiled at Todrick. "Everything is going to be okay, baby." Todrick smiled and leaned into Kevin's body. "You're so kind." "Well I need to be. You're too hard on yourself, honey. Don't blame yourself for Travis' actions. You have no control over him, and thus can not take the fall for the things he does. Alex is just... Far too nice, and much too innocent for his own good. He expects the world to treat him how he deserves. And because of his traumatic experience with the old pack... He always believes he has done something wrong. There was nothing you could've done in that situation." Todrick nodded slowly, still pressed into Kevin's body. Alex stopped eating to giggle at something on the T.V. Jake smiled at him, knowing that Alex's happiness would soon be overflowing again. As it should be. Jake looked down at his food for about five seconds, just to decide what he would eat first, until he heard Alex sniffle again.
His head snapped up, and Alex was covering his face with his hands, trying not to cry very loud. Jake scooted over to hug him, setting his plate on the small table beside him before pulling Alex face into his chest. "Oh God, Allie... Not again. What happened? You were doing so good." Alex shook his head. "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry." "Don't be. Just don't be sad either." Alex nodded, sitting up and trying to force a smile. "I'm fine. See? Fine." Jake stood from the bed and walked around to Alex's side, holding a hand out for him. Jake pulled his hand into the bathroom, where he grabbed a face towel and turned on the sink.
