Tom frowned as the bitter taste of beer slid across his tongue. He almost choked as Mikey painfully slapped his back. "Come on Tom you can chug faster than that man." Tom swallowed thickly and nodded. Mikey smiled and drove faster. Tom staggered out of the car weakly clutching his fifth bottle of beer. He staggered towards Kaz' house. Mikey didn't even drop him off at the right house. He was still three houses down from where he was supposed to be.

Kaz jumped when someone banged loudly on the front door. Tom finally made it then. He opened the door. There Tom was trying to lean against the door frame.

"Tom? Are you okay you look awful." Kaz exclaimed worriedly.

Tom looked at Kaz and laughed. "Am I okay?" He clumsily walked toward Kaz and stared. "What a stupid question." Kaz hesitantly took a step back.

He watched as Tom's red rimmed eyes drooped. He looked up and glared at Kaz. Kaz gasped as Tom slammed him against the wall. "T-tom you're h-hurting me." Tom's gripped tightened. Tom laughed softly and continued to tighten his grip as Kaz whimpered in pain. Without warning Tom dropped Kaz and took a step back. Kaz glanced up and cried out as Tom kicked him repeatedly in the ribs. "Tom, w-why?" Kaz whispered as tears streamed down the red head's cheeks. Tom ignored him and bent down. He grabbed Kaz by the hair and slammed his head on the wooden floor. After the third time Kaz screamed. "Stop!" Tom stopped for a moment and looked confused. Kaz looked hopefully into his eyes.

A small tear ran down Tom's flushed cheek. He looked at Kaz for a second before a blank stare overtook his face. Kaz cried out in pain as Tom strangled him. Kaz's vision blurred before a heavy weight fell on him. He pushed Tom off of him and continued to cry loudly. Kaz painfully pushed himself up weakly. He crawled up the stairs and up to his room continuing to cry rather loudly. Kaz winced as he climbed on the bed trying to find the most comfortable way to lay. He tried to sleep while clutching the bed sheets.

Tom groaned as he pushed himself up. He stumbled up the stairs to find Kaz. Tom gasped softly as he saw Kaz fast asleep on the bed crying in his sleep. Tom walked to Kaz's bed side. "Kaz, who did this to you," he asked angrily. Kaz turned to his side and whimpered. Tom looked at his sleeping face and sat at the edge of the bed. Should I wake him up? He decided to let him sleep for now. Tom put his hand on Kaz's forehead and frowned when Kaz shivered.

Several hours later Kaz's sighed in his sleep and began to wake up. Kaz sat up and whimpered a little in pain. He looked around his room and jumped slightly when he saw Tom dozing lightly not to far a way. He limped closely to him and put out a trembling hand. He drew it back when Tom stirred in his sleep. Kaz almost gagged when the stench of alcohol reached his senses. He was drinking? Tom slowly opened his eyes and found Kaz with a thoughtful look on his face. "Kaz?"
