Henry
Oh god he couldn’t believe it. Alex was with someone. The photos were all over social media. He was seen with a guy, holding hands, heading into a restaurant. There was also a picture of them kissing, like a little peck on the lips. Henry felt like he was going to throw up. But he couldn’t stop staring at the pictures. Alex looked happy.
Henry knew that it was his fault. He asked Alex to leave a year ago. Alex did everything he could to fight for them, but Henry didn’t think it would work. And now, all he was filled with was remorse. Regret that he didn’t fight. Fight to have a life he wanted with the person he loved. A few tears rolled down his cheeks as he looked at the photos again.
“Hey are you alright?”
Bea comes up to him as he tries wiping his tears, but it’s no use. A few more fall down.
“I am just dandy.” Henry replies as he swiped through the pictures.
Bea looks over and sees the pictures. She sighs as she sits next to Henry and puts an arm around his shoulders.
“Yeah I saw those pictures this morning. I thought you wouldn’t find out. So how are you feeling?” She asked, concern laced in her words.
“I feel as if the only good thing in my life got taken away, and now I have to suffer.” Henry sniffles as he switches his phone off and throws it on the bed.
“He didn’t get taken away Henry. You kind of just let him go.” Bea sighs as she rubs his shoulder.
“I think about it everyday Bea. How it could’ve been different if I had been brave, like Alex. If just this once I would’ve taken the leap. Alex was ready. Ready to jeopardize everything if it meant we could be together. But I was a coward. I never kept my feelings as my first priority. Always thinking about how it would affect the family. If I would’ve just taken the leap. He loved me so much Bea. I threw it away.” Henry groaned into his hands.
“Yeah, has always loved you.” Bea smiles with fondness as if she was reminiscing.
“But now he is with someone else. He loves someone else now. He could’ve been mine forever. But I lost my chance.” Henry sniffled as he buried his face into his sister’s shoulders and cried silently.
“I don’t think you’ve lost him. I think he still might love you. What you two had was so special. I don’t think that feeling could go away just like that.” Bea hums as she rubs her brother’s back.
“Do you really think I still might have a chance? He is with someone else now.” Henry asks while lifting his head up with hope.
“ I think all you can do is give it your all, offer him everything, and see how it goes. Because if you still won’t take the leap, then you might lose him forever.”
Alex
He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
Alex met Eddie at Law school. At first, they didn’t really talk, but day by day, Alex began to come out of his shell and start talking. It’s not like Alex was shy. He was super outgoing. But he was devastated. Devastated that the love of his life had asked him to leave. Alex didn’t leave his bedroom for almost a month. But with June and Nora’s constant pestering and consolation, he started to heal, day by day.
He met Eddie when it had been six months since he left Kensington palace. Eddie had asked him out three months later. Now they had officially been going out for two months.
Eddie was great. He was funny, he was obviously smart, and overall he was a really great guy. Some of his friends told Alex that they were jealous that he got a great guy like Eddie. Eddie was a gentleman. He’d open car doors for Alex, make sure he was comfortable, go out to do his favorite things. He was a good boyfriend. And Alex felt perfectly fine about him.
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2AM and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kind of rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
Eddie was everything Alex knew he needed in a partner. Then why couldn’t he get Henry out of his mind? Even when he was out with Eddie, trying to have a good time, he couldn’t shake off the memories of him and Henry. Every laugh, every kiss, it was like they had been imprinted in his mind. At first, he felt like that was something he would get over. Eddie did make Alex happy. But Alex knew that he still shouldn’t feel this way about Henry.
Alex was currently sitting at the bar, surrounded by his law school friends and his boyfriend, thinking about this.
“Babe, you alright there?” Eddie asked with concern as he saw that Alex was zoned out.
“Oh. Yeah, why wouldn’t I be alright? I’m having fun.” Alex mustered up a smile hoping it would convince his boyfriend.
“Alright then.” Eddie smiled as he kissed Alex’s temple and continued talking to his friends.
Why couldn’t Alex shake off the ghost of Henry Fox? How long does he have to be tortured like this?
Henry
I was packing my bags as David came over and looked at me as if he was asking “Are you going somewhere?”
“Are you going somewhere?” asked a voice as Henry looked up and saw Pez standing there.
“I’m going to get Alex back.” Henry said as he shoved things into his bag with full determination.
“Oh my God. Finally. What brought this idea on?” Pez beamed as he started skipping around the room like a child filled with happiness.
“I can’t seem to stand the thought of Alex with somebody else. He has every right to be with anybody he wants, but I have to tell him how I feel. I was scared once, I’m not going to fuck up again. I have to tell him how I feel.” Henry said with a small smile.
“I have been praying for this man. And I don’t even pray. You better not back out at the last second.” Pez grinned as he patted Henry on the shoulder.
“I’m not going to. If he’ll have me, I’ll give him everything I have. Him taking me back is a long shot. But I have to do it.”
Alex
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable
When Alex got into his working zone, Eddie never disturbed him, he always gave him the appropriate space. He understood it himself, but he never bothered Alex.
Eddie was very punctual. Even when Alex couldn’t make it to things on time, he understood every time and never gave him a hard time about it. He never kept Alex waiting. He was there when he was needed. Of course, Alex had someone else on his mind.
Alex’s parents had also met Eddie. They liked Eddie a lot. Eddie talked about politics with his dad, not into detail, but enough to make his dad like Eddie. With his mom, he just talked about Alex and they both had a laugh.
Eddie did have a flirty personality. And Alex was not shy to flirting either. They had banters and discussions and they always had a laugh about it.
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2AM and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kind of rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
The way Henry cared for Alex wasn’t something Eddie could even begin to compare too. Eddie’s touch wasn’t even close to Henry’s. Each touch from Henry lit Alex’s body on fire. Each kiss was like the sweetest syrup Alex had tasted.
Alex missed the banter he had with Henry. Every word, every insult, spoken with such love and interest, it was everything he wanted to have, but he couldn’t have.
His parents seemed to love Henry more when they met him. They would never say it, but Alex already knew it.
The flirting they did was off the charts. What Henry made Alex feel with that sweet British accent of his, he didn’t know if he could feel like that again.
With Eddie, Alex was comfortable. But with Henry, everything was on fire. Every feeling was out of this world. The love, the care, the heartbreak, Alex felt everything so deeply in his soul.
But Henry wasn’t here, was he? He had left. He had asked Alex to leave. Alex wanted to believe that Henry loved him. But how could he believe it when the man vanished and left him behind to pick up the pieces of his broken heart? He stomped on Alex’s heart without a care. Why would his heart still beat for him? These questions confused him. Shook him to his core.
He can't see the smile I'm faking
And my heart's not breaking
'Cause I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating
Intoxicating, complicated
Got away by some mistake and now
Alex was numb. That’s how he felt lately. Every kiss from Eddie, every soft caress, it didn’t feel like anything to him. It’s like he couldn’t feel. He hid his emotions pretty well. He didn’t let Eddie see what he felt. He pretended that he was happy. Ecstatic. He hoped that nobody saw through it.
But June and Nora saw. They see everything.
“Alex, what’s up with you? You seem really sad.” June asked as she came into his room with Nora along her side.
“What? I’m fine. Why would you ask that?” Alex muttered while avoiding eye contact.
“You are not fine. You pretend you’re fine, but you most definitely are not. We can see it every day. You do everything you are supposed to do, but you don’t seem happy. Even with Eddie. You zone out a lot more. So what’s up?” June continued as she sat and hugged Alex from the side.
“What are you talking about? It’s all hella chill.” Alex tries to joke and convince them but the façade falls apart.
“Did you just say, its hella chill? That’s it. I’m bringing the ice cream.” Nora gasps as she runs off and a few minutes later comes back with a tub of cookies and cream ice cream.
This was their thing. Whenever one of them felt down, they would have ice cream and talk. It was like a tradition.
“So what’s up sweetie? What’s got you down in the dumps?” Nora questioned as she sat next to Alex and hugged him just like June but from the other side.
“Why can’t I just be happy? Eddie is a great guy. He is smart, funny and caring. He is a perfectly good guy. So why can’t I accept his affection? Why does Henry still haunt me? It’s like everything Henry did was better. Every touch, every kiss, it was as if I couldn’t breathe. Now? Now I feel numb. It’s like I can’t experience happiness. Why can’t I let go of him?” Alex sobbed in his hands.
All June and Nora did was hug him and play with his hair to soothe him.
“You loved Henry. With everything you had. I never saw you like that with anyone. He was everything to you, but he threw it away and left. He doesn’t deserve you attention Alex. And I know it’s hard to let go. But trust me, time will heal it. Until then, you try to focus on anything other than love. Give yourself time honey. Love yourself first. That’s the important thing.” June consoled as Nora nodded.
“Break it off with Eddie. Explain it to him. It’s not fair to you or him to continue this. You love Henry. Those feelings don’t just go away. So don’t force yourself into it. Give yourself time.” Nora comforted as Alex just nodded, not trusting his voice to say something.
Eventually they sat down in front of the TV and watched Brooklyn nine nine to distract Alex.
Alex sat Eddie down and explained everything. How it was about his feelings and how he didn’t feel connected enough. He tried his best to help Eddie understand. And Eddie being a great guy, accepted everything, even though Alex could see the hurt in his eyes.
After discussing the break up, Eddie gave him a final kiss and left. Alex slumped down in his chair, emotionally exhausted. He sat at the library, just staring into nothingness. His face and mind were void of emotions. All he felt was stillness.
Henry
Henry had never been this nervous. He was shaking. His palms were sweaty and he felt like he was about to collapse. He wanted to turn around and run away but he wasn’t going to back down this time. It was all or nothing.
Alex wasn’t at the White House. Thanks to Shaan, he knew that Alex was staying at Nora’s house. The guards were standing outside. They gave Henry a look but didn’t say anything.
Henry mustered all the courage he had and knocked. Oh God, what if Alex opened the door? What if he shut it in Henry’s face? What if he punched Henry? Henry had been starving for Alex’s touch that even a punch to the face sounded good.
Before he could spiral further, the door opened and there stood Nora.
“Henry? What the hell are you doing here?” Noras asked in pure shock as she just stared at his face.
“Uh, hi Nora. I’m here to talk to um, Alex.” God saying his name made Henry feel so much more alive.
Nora just opened and closed her mouth again as she just moved to the side. Henry wasn’t sure if it was the cue to come in, but he went anyway. Nora closed the door as Henry looked around the house, in hope to see Alex. God, he wanted to see his face so bad.
“Nora, who is at the door-.” June came into view as she immediately stopped at the sight of Henry. She stood there gaping, and her face morphed into the kind of rage Henry hadn’t expected to see from June.
“Oh my God. You motherfucker. You son of a bitch. You-.” June stepped forward as tried to lunge at Henry but was pushed back by Nora.
“Let go off me Nora. I’m gonna kill him. I will stab him. I swear to God he will die right now.” June swore as Nora tried her best to stop her.
“Calm down. His PPO’s will kill you before you kill him.” Nora stated as she let go off June.
“You think I give a rat’s ass about those dumbasses? I’ll beat them up too. Nobody messes with my brother and gets away.” And that reminded June who she was actually mad at.
She lunged forward and grabbed Henry’s collar staring into his eyes with anger that could only be described as brutally violent.
“You. You asshole. You broke my brother. Why’d you let him leave? I thought you loved him. How could you be this stupid.” June seethed as she punched Henry in the stomach as hard as she could.
Henry stumbled back from the force. She might but small, but she packs quite a punch, Henry said to himself.
“Why are you here? You want to kill my brother? Huh? You want to mess him up further? As if you didn’t do enough. Oh God he is such a mess because of you. Do you know the damage you have caused? For the first few months, he wouldn’t eat, he wouldn’t talk to me, he would just sleep. And do you know how much Alex needs to be broken to get him to sleep for twelve hours a day?”
Henry’s jaw dropped. Alex didn’t eat or talk to anybody? Because of him? Oh God what had he done? He couldn’t bear the thought of the love of his life suffering because Henry was a coward.
“He- he was so malnourished at one point. Mom and I had to force him to eat. Even Zahra did her best to get him to eat healthy. He got so weak that he once passed out in a meeting. We had to call a doctor. Why? Just because he loved you with everything he had. Everything he wanted was you. He was ready to give it all up. And you? You didn’t give a fuck about him. You sat in your ugly ass castle like the little princess you are while he suffered. He didn’t talk to me for two months. Ask Nora. My brother, the happy sunshine guy who never stopped talking, you made him quiet. You shut him up. Alex Gabriel Claremont Diaz became silent. Because the prince was a fucking asshole.”
Henry was crying now. Tears streaming down his face as he heard about the damage he caused. He wanted to punch himself so hard. He wanted June to punch him in the face for what he did. He wanted to hang himself for this.
“God, I remember he couldn’t stop crying. No matter what anyone did. The day he passed his bar exam was approximately 4 months after you asked him to leave. It was him dream you know? But all he did was give a small smile, cut the cake and pretend to be happy. Because he was never truly happy. You took my brother from me you bastard. How the fuck could you hurt him like this? I trusted you to take care of him.” June screamed as she let go off his collar and stepped back, breathing heavily.
Henry couldn’t believe it. Alex, his Alex, being quiet. Being reserved. What had he done? Henry could hear his heart breaking. Henry didn’t eat much either. He remembered not even showering for two weeks. He remembered throwing up anything he tried to eat, but his stomach wouldn’t let him. But Henry had known that he deserved that. But Alex? His sweet Alex didn’t deserve any of this. Henry thought Alex wouldn’t fall into a position like this. Come to think of it, Henry didn’t realise that he destroyed Alex in the process of protecting himself.
“So what are you doing here?” Nora asked as she rubbed June’s back soothingly. She glanced sharply at Henry.
“I- I want to talk to Alex. Tell him how I fucked up. God, I had no idea about the damage I caused. I- I fucked up. I was a coward. In trying to protect myself and Alex, I destroyed us both. Is- is he okay now? Does he uh eat enough now?” Henry questioned as he approached June slowly.
She looked up and maybe because of the look of pure concern on Henry’s face, her glare softened a little.
“What’s it to you? You don’t care about him. This doesn’t concern you.” She grumbled as she kept looking at the ground.
“June please. I know I’m an asshole. The worst person here. You can punch me again if you want to. Heck, I deserve it. I care about him. I have never cared so much for anyone. Please June I need to know if he eats enough. Is he healthy? Does he talk now? Is he okay.” Henry pleads as he feels helpless.
“Ask him yourself.” June sniffles as she looks past Henry, her gaze fixating there.
Henry turns around immediately and sees the guy he fucked over. Alex Gabriel Claremont Diaz. And oh how the ground swept under him.
Alex looked absolutely gorgeous. His tan brown skin, glistening under the low light in the house. He sucked in a breath, as Alex let go off the bag he was holding.
“What is he doing here?” Alex said while sucking in a sharp breath.
“Alex.” Was all Henry could say before he rushed towards him and stopped abruptly in front of him.
“Are you alright? Are you eating properly? Are you sleeping? Are you okay?” Henry rambled on as he grabbed onto Alex’s arms as he kept checking if Alex was healthy or not.
“Get off of me.” Alex whispered, hurt evident in his eyes, as Henry realised what he had done and stepped back.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me.” He whispered as he stepped back.
“What the fuck do you want?” Alex seethed as he avoided eye contact with Henry.
“I want to talk to you. I want to tell you what a big asshole I am for fucking this up. I want to apologize for what I did. I want to explain everything. I want to tell you that I love you.” Henry said as he saw Alex suck in a sharp breath at the last part.
Alex started laughing. And not the happy laugh, the laugh filled with anger and bitterness.
“You wanna apologize? Now? A year later? You don’t get to do that Henry. You don’t get to waltz in here tell me that you love me and say you’re sorry. You had your chance your royal highness. If you loved me, you wouldn’t have done it. We are done now.” Alex chuckled bitterly as he started walking into the house.
“Alex. Alex just listen to me. Just hear me out. I’ll leave if that’s what you want me to do. But not unless you listen to me. I’ll get out of your life forever but all I want is for you to listen to me.” Henry begged as he fell on his knees, sobs racking through his chest.
“I don’t want to hear it your royal highness. Please leave.” Alex managed to say through his tears. Alex’s face was covered with tears as he looked at Henry on the ground.
Henry got up, determination on his face.
“I won’t leave until you listen to me. I’ll sit on the front porch of this house for months if that’s what it’ll take for you to listen to me. I’ll do anything Alex. Please.” He whispered.
“You do what you want. I’m out of here.” Alex sobbed as he ran into the house, never looking back once.
Alex
“He’s been sitting out there for four hours now.” Nora sighed as she closed the curtain and sat on the bed.
“Well, he can sit there for eternity if he wants.” June scoffs as she gently moves her hand through Alex’s curls.
Alex was lying face down, on the bed, like a starfish. He had been crying for so long that eventually he ran out of tears. He wanted to hug and kiss Henry so much but he knew he couldn’t.
“Could you hear him out maybe?” Nora advised as Alex sat up, his eyes red ad tear stains streaked his cheeks.
“Why should I listen to him? He comes here after the worst year of my life just to say sorry? It’s not that easy.” Alex scoffs as both June and Nora sat in front of him.
“Don’t forgive him if you don’t want to. That’s your choice. Just hear him out. He heard you out too that night, didn’t he?” June said as they both looked at Alex who looked tormented.
“Yeah, and what was it’s use? He still made my life hell.” Alex grumbled as he played with a loose strand on his sweatshirt.
“He got to hear what you had to offer. You know you did your best. Hear him out to see what he has to offer. And you both are miserable right now. You know you still love him. Just hear what he has to say. Punish him all you want but all we’re saying is to hear him out.” Nora advised.
“Maybe I will. But right now, I need a nap because I have never been this tired ever.” Alex groans as he flops onto the mattress.
“That’s a good idea. You do need sleep if you’re gonna talk to him. Plus June and I have to go out for that event.” Nora nods as they get up to go out.
“And June you can’t punch Henry again.” Nora says as June gasps in offence. Alex opens his eyes at the comment.
“What? Why? What’s wrong with punching him? I was thinking about aiming for the solar plexus to knock the air out of his lungs.” June grumbled as she started practicing her punches in the air.
“Wait did you really punch Henry?” Alex as he sat up, curiosity glistening in his eyes.
“Oh yes, socked him right in the stomach. It was a good one. He must’ve got a bruise.” June bragged as Alex laughed for the first time that day.
“She literally punched the prince of England.” Nora smiled as they all started laughing.
“And I’m gonna do it again if fucks anything else up.” June muttered as Nora gave her a look that said ‘no way’.
“Fine. But I’m going to swear at him a couple of times when we leave.” June grumbles as Nora just shrugs as they both turn to face Alex.
“I love you guys so much. Thanks for everything.” Alex smiled genuinely as Nora and June ran to give him a hug.
“We love you too. Now take a nap before you pass out.” Nora grins as Alex lays down again and the two girls leave.
He just might talk to Henry after the nap, or at least he’ll try.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2AM and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kind of rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
Alex woke up to the sound of thunder. He had been napping for like an hour, but the sounds of the storm woke him up. In a haze, he got up and looked outside and he was right. It was raining really hard. The wind was blowing really fast and it was really cold.
After Alex regained his mental balance, he remembered that Henry was outside earlier. He looked outside through his window, expecting nobody to be sitting on the stairs, and he was surprised. Henry was sitting there, shivering in the cold, his head in his knees, as the rain soaked him from head to toe.
“Oh fuck.” Alex muttered as he ran down without a second thought. He almost slipped down the stairs and stumbled to the door and opened it hastily. Henry turned around, and as soon as he saw Alex, he stood up immediately.
Henry was drenched, to say the least. Water was dripping from his hair and clothes. “Alex I-.” Before Henry could finish his sentence, Alex took a fistfull of his shirt and yanked him inside.
Henry tried to open his mouth but Alex cut him off.
“Are you stupid? It’s raining cats and dogs and you’re fucking sitting their shivering your ass off. It’s so cold outside and you’re sitting there. Are you fucking dumb?” Alex grumbled as he went inside to grab some towels.
He stopped for a second, realising what he was doing, but he continued grabbing the towels. He shouldn’t care for Henry. But the bottom line was, he did care for Henry. That was his truth.
He went back to hall, and saw Henry looking at the floor, shivering. Alex moved swiftly, handing Henry a towel as he ran back to his room to fetch some clothes. He didn’t want Henry to get sick. Henry got sick really easily.
Alex returned in a few minutes with some of his clothes.
“The sweatpants might be a little small but the hoodie will fit. I tend to buy larger hoodies anyways.” Alex mumbled while handing Henry the clothes.
It was becoming difficult for Alex to breathe. Being this close to Henry was killing him. But he tried his best to keep his calm. He started walking towards the kitchen, in hopes that some coffee will ground him. As soon as he turned a hand took a hold of his wrist, as he stopped abruptly.
“Alex, please.” Henry whispered with tears rolling down his cheeks. Henry had sincerity in his eyes that Alex just couldn’t deny. Alex just nodded as he took Henry’s hand in his.
“We can talk after you change.” And the way Henry’s neck snapped up, Alex was worried he would break it.
“Alright than- thank you. I just want you to listen to me.” Henry begged as Alex just gave a small smile and nodded.
A couple minutes later, Henry appeared in the kitchen in Alex’s clothes, and Alex’s heart took a leap. Alex loved seeing Henry in his clothes. But the hurt that followed wasn’t something he was a fan of.
Henry cleared his throat as he sat on the stool in front of Alex, and took his hand in his own.
“Alex. My behavior was appalling. I thought that by asking you to leave I was protecting us both. But God I was so wrong. I hate myself for the hurt I’ve caused you. No apology is- is big enough to cover this. I don’t expect you to forgive me. Just- just know that I’m a mess without you. I- I love you.” Henry breathed as he looked into Alex’s eyes deeply, tears welling up in them. Alex gasped a little in shock, as Henry tightened his grip around Alex’s hand.
“I was an asshole. There is no but. I have no explanation. I had no idea the pain I was causing you. June- June told me about it. How-how you weren’t eating or talking, and God I am so sorry about that. I am the worst person ever.” Mentioning Alex’s bad health is where Henry broke down. Sobs wracked his chest as he let out a cry of guilt and betrayal.
Seeing this, Alex started weeping too. They both wept in silence for a while, letting the pain of the past year out. This was their therapy, their way of hurting. It was special to them and there was no other way around it.
As their sobs died down, Henry spoke again.
“Alex, I know I have no right to even mention it let alone ask for this, but I was hoping you would give me another chance. I know you have a boyfriend now, and I know he must treat you right, but I- I just had to let you know that I love you. I’ll wait for you as long as you’d like me to. All I know is, I can’t fall in love with anybody else now that I know what loving you feels like. I’ll show you how much you mean to me if you give me the chance.” Henry breathed as he looked at Alex, who’s expression was unreadable.
“Right then, that’s all I wanted you to say. You can think about it and let me know. I’m sure you love your boyfriend a lot and it was wrong for me to barge in after a year, but I had to let you know. I’m sorry.” Henry whispered as he got up and turned around to leave.
“I broke up with my boyfriend.” Alex said and Henry immediately turned back at that.
“You hurt me a lot Henry, and I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it, but I’m willing to try. I- I’ll give you another chance. But we have to take it slow.” He finished as Henry rushed back in front of Alex but stopped abruptly.
“Can I, can I hug you?” Henry asked nervously and all Alex could do was nod. Immediately Alex was engulfed by the warmth that was Henry Fox, and he couldn’t for the life of him, ever say that he didn’t miss it. Henry hugged him tightly, as if scared that he will disappear if he let go.
They stood like that for a while, just basking in each other’s warmth.
Henry whispered against his ear, “I’m never letting you go again.” As he clutched Alex’s body again and left a quick kiss on his neck. And all Alex could do was hum.
They both knew that it would be alright. It might take days, months, or years, but Henry was determined to anything to get his Alex back. They stood there for a while, hanging off each other’s bodies, never letting go. Everything would be fine now that they were in each other’s arms, together at last.
And that's the way I loved you, oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you.
