The door opened and Addison bolted into the room. "Allen!" He hugged him and they sat at a table.

Addison smiled, "I've missed you so much man. Life is shit without you around. It sucks that you're in here."

Allen smiled sadly, "I know. The semester has already started and I'm here; Trial doesn't even start for another two weeks. How's mom?"

"Oh, uh, I haven't been home. She hasn't been to visit you?"

Allen frowned, "No, she doesn't even put any money on my books. Luckily everyone in here aren't the bad guys you see on TV and are nice enough to share."

"You have friends? Who?"

Allen perked up, "That guy with the dye in his head is Ty. He's over there. And Zack," Allen blushed, "Is over there with Ty."

Addison asked, "What's so special about Zack?"

"Huh?"

Addison stalefaced him, "You blushed when you saw him. Don't lie to me Allen. Tell the truth."

"Well, we like each other, but nothing's official. We just found out yesterday how we feel about each other."

Addison muttered, "Oh.."

"Yeah. One good thing about being in here, but it'll be over soon. His trial is almost over, and he'll be out soon. At least I still got Ty."

"And you'll get out of here too. You'll go to college and be somebody someday, while I'm stuck here in Tampa forever."

Allen chuckled, "You made it all sad now.."

"I just really missed you, bro. Its my fault you're here. I feel like shit."

The buzzer sounded, meaning that the visitors had to go.

"Bye Allen."

"Bye."


Once Addison got outside and in Seth's car, he began crying.

"Are you okay?"

Addison shook his head. Seth rubbed his back and said, "Things will get better. Keep your head up."

Addison shouted, "They won't! I've lost Allen, he doesn't even miss me. He's got a boyfriend. I have no life!" He lowered his voice, "Everyone hates me, even you."

Seth said, "I don't hate you. Why would you say that?"

"You don't want me."

"I have Roman and Dean. We talked about this."

Addison put on his seatbelt and said, "Its okay, man. Let's just go.."

For minutes, the car was very silent. Addison was cooling down, and Seth felt like a jerk.

Seth shook his head. "Its not okay. You need to get over me."

Addison sat his hand on Seth's thigh. "You know you want me. Stop running." He squeezed Seth's cock, causing him to gasp.

"Stop it. Don't do this Addison. I'm driving and its raining."

"C'mon its barely raining. Just chill. Dean and Roman don't have to know."

Seth swatted at Addison's hands. "Stop!" The car swerved a little. "Shit!"

Addison said simply, "Just pull over then. There aren't any cars driving down this road but us."

Seth sighed, "I don't want to do this, Addison. Do not try to force me."

"Do it! Pull over!" Addison suddenly became furious.

"N-no!" Addison reached for the wheel. "Stop it, Addison! Fine, I'll pull over."

Once Seth stopped the car, Addison got out and began walking. Seth cursed under his breath and dialed Roman while following Addison.

"Hey, Seth. Are you guys almost home? I want to go out for lunch at this new-"

"This guy has lost his mind, Ro. He got out the car and he's trying to walk home."

Roman sighed, "Find a way to get him back in the car. Just do whatever he wanted-"

"No! He wants sex! I refuse to hurt you and Dean again."

Roman looked at Dean, "Force him in the car if you have to. Bye Seth."

Dean said, "I kinda hate your cousin, Rome. What did he do now?"

"He's trying to force Seth to have sex with him, or he's walking home. I honestly don't care, but my Aunt Shanna will be pissed at me."

Dean checked the time on the nightstand and said, "Well its only 2. Let's cuddle and wait. If they don't come soon enough we can go out to dinner."


Zack asked Allen, "Are you okay?" as he entered the cell. "You seemed sad leaving the visitor's room."

"I just want to get out of here. My brother is miserable and he feels like he has no one. I feel the same way." He had explained to Zack how manipulative Addison is, but Zack didn't point it out.

Zack frowned and sat by Allen. "That isn't true, because you have me." He saw the tears about to fall, and hugged him tight. Zack said, "I can't wait until we get out of here. Me and you can just get the hell away from it all."

Allen laughs, "As long as I go to college."

Zack got serious. "Wait, your school is in Michigan right?"

"Yeah, but I doubt the offer is still open if I'm being trialed for murder."

"Let's say after this, your offer is still on the table. Would you move away to Michigan with me?"

Allen was silent. That wasn't just four years away from Tampa, but longer if he agreed. A long time away from this hell... "Yeah, sure. Where would you stay though?"

"My mama came to see me today. She basically suggested I go live with my brother if I get out. She been put me out the house and said its stressful wondering where I lay my head at night when I'm not locked up."

Allen had one little thing to hold onto; A future that involved Zack. They discussed it for days, and had everything planned out. Ty even said he might tag along. Allen was genuinely happy about this, and he didn't plan on letting anyone ruin it. Especially his damned family.


Detective Gates looked at all the paperwork on her desk and groaned. Everything about this case was insane. It was obvious Allen didn't kill that guy, and she knew that an altercation causes him to be out late at night, but what was with this family?

She would make sure Allen got out, because he was innocent. Though, if his mother was mistreating him, she wanted him and Addison away from her. None of the other family members said anything wrong about Shanna. Not even Roman, but it was clear that he disliked Allen and Addison.

"Maybe I'm just over thinking... Lunch break."


Dean said as Roman paced the room. "Seven o' clock Ro. Five fucking hours and no sign of Seth!"

Roman pushed his hair back and looked at the floor as if that's where the answer was.

"They'll be here, Dean. Car could have ran out of gas."

Dean frowned and grabbed his car keys. "I don't believe that and you don't either. I'm going to look for them. Either stay or come along."
