Alex's POV I felt someone shake me. "Lex, Lex wake up." Someone said and I woke up and sat bolt up. "Don't hurt me!" I gasped and looked round and saw Tate sat up looking at me. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up. I'll just go." I said quietly and slowly got out the bed. Tate got hold of my hand and I looked at him. "Don't go. You didn't wake me up, I was awake anyway making sure you was going to be okay." He said quietly. "You sure because I can just go and sleep in my plastic tube." I said. Tate pulled me on top of him. "Your not going anywhere okay." He said quietly and kissed me. I buried my face in his chest. He kissed the top of my head. I felt him hold me closer to him. I smiled and for once felt safe. I slowly fell asleep. When I woke up alone in bed. The bedroom door opened and I jumped and hid under the covers. "It's only me." Tate said quietly and I peered out from under the covers and he chuckled. "I got you some tea and toast." He said and came over and sat on the bed. I sat up and took the tea from him and nursed my tea. "How you feeling this morning?" He asked and next to me. I moved to his side and rested my head against his shoulder. "My head hurts and so does my arse. In fact my whole body just hurt." I said quietly. Tate got hold of my chin and made me look at him. He moved my hair and looked at my forehead. "Looks really sore." He said quietly. He kissed it softly. I flinched away as it hurt. "Sorry." He whispered and kissed me softly. "You said your arse hurt. Why?" He asked seriously. I looked down. "Lex, what did he do?" He asked. I didn't say anything and looked further down. "Babe, tell me what he did to you." He said. I looked at him and shook my head. "Alex tell me please." He asked sounding worried. I sighed, "h..h..he raped me after he bashed my head against the bath." I whispered. Tate got hold of my cup and put it on the side and got hold of my hand and pulled me off the bed and walked out his room. "Tate where we going?" I asked. "I'm taking you to the hospital." He said. I snatched my hand out of his. "Tate I can't go there! He'll find out and he'll come after me!" I said and walked away from him. "Alex, you have to go and get yourself tested, then you can throw the son of a bitch in jail for everything he has done to you." He said and walked towards me. "I can't." I whispered. "You can because I'm not leaving you while everything is happening." He said. "But..." I started but Tate kissed me to stop me. "I'll give you my favorite hoodie to wear after." He said. I smiled and nodded. "Go and put your shoes on and I'll take you there." He said and I nodded and put my shoes on. "Have you taken anything off or had a shower after it happened?" He asked and I shook my head. "Come on then." He said and got hold of my hand and we went to the hospital. We got to the hospital and Tate went to let go of my hand and I held it tightly. He looked at me. "Please." I whispered. "We can't Lex. I'm sorry." He said quietly I felt like I could cry but I managed to keep myself together. We got to the desk. "Where do we go for a rape kit test thing." Tate said. I hung my head down. "Is this for you sir?" The person asked. "No, its for my brother." He said and looked at me. The person looked at me. "I need you to fill this form out and someone will be with you soon." She smiled and handed Tate a clipboard. "Thanks." Tate said and we went and sat down. "Brother?" I asked confused. "If anyone asks we have the same mum but different dads." He said and handed me the form. I looked at it. It basically wanted my personal details. When I got to the address part I looked at Tate. "What address do I put? I can't put dads, I most certainly can't give them Austin's and Alan's." I said. "Put mine. If anyone asks say you moved to mine after what the bastard did to you." He said and looked at me. "I'm scared." I whispered. "Don't be, I'll be here by your side every step of the way." He said quietly and pulled me to his side. Someone walked over and sat next to me which made me jump. "Hello, my name is Olivia Heart and this is my partner Danny Smith. We'll be investigating your allegation of rape." The woman said. "You think I made it all up!? What the fuck would I make this up!?" I said. "Never mind about that. How the fuck do you know?" Tate asked. "If someone comes in making a allegation of rape, we come and hopefully bring you justice." She said. "Well it wasn't my idea!" I said sarcastically and glared at Tate. "Alex just fucking do it." Tate sighed. "I said I'll do the bloody test not have the bloody cops asking me fucking questions and relive it all again. It's not fucking happening Tate! In fact I don't have a fucking clue why I'm here." I said and walked out. I was sat at the park when Tate showed up and sat next to me. "I'm sorry." He said quietly. I looked at him. "I'll do it but them cops better not be here." I said. "They won't be." He said and kissed the side of my head.
We got back and I felt more dirty than when he raped me. Think Tate noticed and he went to his bathroom and ran the bath. I was sat on his bed reading a load of his coursework. Tate came over and sat behind me and cuddled into my back. "Your good." I said quietly. "Na, I'm just about passing as it is." He said and kissed my shoulder. "You should focus more on it!" I chuckled and slapped his chest. "Not when your around." He said and kissed my neck. "No." I said. He stopped and rested his head on my shoulder. "I know." He said quietly and kissed my cheek and walked to the bathroom and walked out again. "Bath is ready for you." He said and sat on the bed again. "Thank you." I said and kissed him. "Go and have it before it gets cold." He said and peeled the paper out my hands. "Hey I was reading!" I said and looked at him. "Have a bath, you smell." He said. I turned round and faced him. "Join me?" I asked. "As long as I can have a joint." He said. "Roll me one." I pouted. "Fine. Only because I love you!" He said. I smiled, "thank you." Tate smiled and rolled the joints.
We was lead in bed still smoking our joints in our pants. I was sat on Tate doodling on him. "Well considering I've just had a bath, I'm going to have another one after your done." He chuckled. "Don't move, you'll ruin it." I said. "The fuck you even doing?" He asked. "Leaving my mark on you since you always moan about me giving you hickies." I said. "And what's your mark then?" He asked. "Doodles and lyrics." I said. He smiled. "Write something on my arm." He said. "What do you want me to write?" I asked. I was feeling immature and wrote 'I am gay.' On his arm and Tate rolled his eyes at me. "Write a lyric of yours." He said. I moved so I was sat on his chest and lifted his arm up. "What you doing?" He asked. "Writing a lyric on your wrist." I said. I felt his trace his finger up and down my ribs. I moved my side away "don't your going to make me fuck up." I said. "Better not do that otherwise you will have the hump with me." He chuckled. I smiled and a few minutes later I had finished. I got off his chest and he looked at it. "Dreams only last for a night?" He asked and looked at me. "Too remind you that whatever you dream of it doesn't last." I said quietly. "Might just have this tattooed on me." He said. I looked a him and smiled. Tate had a couple of tattoos. He had a couple of swallows along his collar bone and a semicolon behind his ear and he had like a crow which its wings was of smaller birds on his hip. "But you have to remember I need to keep them hiden, because they don't like tattoos in that judgemental court." He said. "Which is why you don't go into law." I said and rested my head on his stomach. "Have to go where the money is." He said quietly. "Have to or forced too?" I said. "Well we both know that my folks wants their eldest to do good." He said. "I know but they could at least respect what you want to do." I said. "I want to do this, its just all this shitty coursework and exams I'm not wanting to do." He said. "Well I would say I could do it for you but I can't wrap my head round it since I'm still at school." I said. Tate started to mess with my hair. "When you going back?" He asked. "Next week. I don't want to see anyone other than you." I yawned. "Well I have college tomorrow will you be okay on your own?" He asked. I nodded and slowly fell asleep. "I might be comfy but I doubt I'm that comfy." He chuckled quietly and moved me so I was by the pillows. "Go on you side." He said quietly. I rolled onto my side and I felt Tate cuddled into my back and put an arm over my waist. I fell asleep straight away.

Notes

When I find the picture of Tate's hip tattoo I'll put it up but I have lost it somehow on Google images...... Don't like this chapter at all...
