"My dad was abusive." I said to Alex. I finally got back to the dorm after sitting with Peggy for almost an hour. She convinced me to go back and explain everything to Alex because I never know if the nightmares will come back again. "He didn't support anything I did. The quilt on the bed was my mom's. She died when I was four. I never understood until I was ten why she was gone. My dad said that Mom went to live in the sky with my grandma. At ten my dad hated me. At twelve I wanted to live in the sky and see my mom again. At fourteen I wanted to run away, and I did. He found me. At fifteen he was hitting me. At sixteen I was kicked out. At seventeen I was disowned. At eighteen I finished high school. At twenty-one I started college in this dorm."

There were tears falling down my cheeks and I didn't stop them. Alex had tears in his eyes. "I didn't know." He said.

"Its okay, what's your story?" I asked.

He sighed, "I guess I'll do what you did." He smiled softly, "I lived in the Caribbean. At ten my father left us, he had enough and too much debt. At twelve, my mother and I got very sick, she didn't make it. I wrote, boy did I write. At seventeen a hurricane destroyed my entire town, I somehow lived. I wrote until all of the people I lived with raised money for me to be sent to the United States. I went to Yale on a full scholarship and then transferred here because I kept getting sick up at Yale."

We both laughed. "I guess we both have our flaws." I said.

"Flaws?" Alex laughed.

"Yeah I guess they're more than flaws."

Alex moved to sit on the bed next to me, "You were screaming last night."

"Nightmares from when I was still with my dad." I looked down and Alex took both of my hands. "I thought they were gone last year."

"John?"

"Yeah?"

"It's getting late."

It was black out the window. "Its passed late." I said, looking back up at Alex.

"John?"

"Yeah?" I yawned and in turn Alex yawned.

We both laughed, "John,"

"Hmm?"

"Can I kiss you?"

"Please."

"Please?"

"Just kiss me you goof."

I leaned in and pressed my lips to his. Alex melted into the kiss, our lips moving together.

I wanted to kiss him longer but I accidentally cut it short by smiling. I pulled away grinning.

Alex smiled back at me. "Wow." He sighed.

I yawned again.

Alex squeezed my hand, "Go to sleep." He said quietly.

"Not without you." I said back.

He sighed, "Okay."

I pulled down the red quilt on my bed and laid down, holding the blanket out for Alex to join me. He laid down and curled up next to me, falling asleep almost instantly.

Sorry it's short. I am extremely stressed right now. I just needed to write something. Here is some background for both John and Alexander. And AWWWWEEE my boys kissed!!!
