Chapter 2

After Alex had returned home, he immediately rushed to find Mitch. He shut the door to his room quickly, and then looked around. "Mitchie? Are you in here, honey?" Mitch peeked out of he and Alex's bed, which was the mattress on the floor. "Oh good, you're home." "This isn't home. But yeah.. I'm here. Are you okay?" Mitch nodded, sitting up in the bed, rubbing his eyes. "Mhmm." Alex rushed over to him, sitting beside him, and pulling him into Alex's lap. "Don't cry, honey... What's wrong?" "Besides the obvious? I dunno... I just kind of feel like.. Whenever you leave, I'm always worried you won't come back. I don't want to be alone." "You won't be alone. I'm right here. Whenever we leave, I'll try to ask if you can come with us, okay? I swear. I'll try my hardest." "Don't get into trouble, Allie. I just miss you, is all." "I'm right here. And you won't be lonely forever, Mitchie. I promise I'll get you out of here somehow. If it's the last thing I do, I'll get you out of here so you can get into a real pack, with an Alpha you deserve." Mitch sniffled a little, and hid his face in Alex's shirt. "I just want to be out of here, Allie. I really really do. I want you to be out of here, and I want me to be out of here, and I want them all to go away for what they've done." "So do I, honey." A loud knock on the door caused both boys to flinch, though Alex jumped up to open the door, and try to hide Mitch from whoever was at the door. "Yes, Alpha?" Tony was the one to open the door. "Where's Michelle? I haven't gotten to play with him yet today." Alex didn't hesitate at all. "Sir, would it be alright if you played with me instead? I miss you." Tony eyed him up and down. "Seriously? I'm sure you're sore from yesterday." "No, Sir. I'm fine." "God, you're such a slut, Kirk. Fine, hurry up and get into your Omega position. Clothes off. My room." Alex nodded, closing the door behind himself so that Tony would have no way to get to Mitch. Tony gave his ass a rough smack as he walked by, and Alex flinched, but kept walking. ********** When Alex walked back into the room, he had a limp and a large bruise on one side of his neck. Mitch jumped up, and hurried over to him. "Oh God, Alex, are you okay?" Alex just shrugged, and walked over to lay down on the bed. Mitch sniffled a little, and he leaned down to press a soft kiss to the bruise on Alex's neck. "You didn't have to do that for me, Allie..." "Mitch, please. We can't have this conversation again." "I know. I'm sorry. I won't do it anymore." "Just... Will you just lay with me for a bit?" Mitch didn't hesitate, and laid beside Alex, clutching Alex's shirt in his hands. "Are you okay, Al? I mean.. Really?" "Yeah. He went easy on me." The door opened then, and Alex immediately tensed. But rather than being dragged out of the room, Alex felt an ice bag being pressed to his neck. When he opened his eyes, he saw Matt staring down at him. Matt didn't show any emotion when he spoke. "Sorry, is it cold? I just wanted to be sure you weren't hurting at all." Alex only stared at him, unsure how to respond. Mitch held Alex's forearm with both of his hands "Thank you, Sir." Matt only shrugged. "Sorry, Alexis. I know you're probably uncomfortable with Alphas right now, so... Michelle, would you hold this ice for him?" Mitch reached over to do as he was asked, and then watched Matt awkwardly walk out of the room. *********
