Sometimes all you need is someone to be there and always be that support; there were words that rang in the head of Red. He hated that he was so alone, he hated that he always got himself into situations where he let people hurt him. Everyone in his life had left him, that was the only thing that he had in his mind at the moment, thinking about how everyone was gone. He looked down at the bruises that covered his arm, another night alone with the abusive man that he called his lover, another one that had just left with a slam of the door.
He slowly crawled away from the bed that he was sitting on to take his lonely place on the edge of the balcony that looked over the city that he loved. He sniffled as the tears rolled down his innocent face, unable to cope with the fact that no one was there and ignoring the constant buzzing that came from his cell phone. There was no point in checking it was probably a bill collector or his lover that had just left.
His shaky hands moved to beside him as he was ready to push himself off, the sound of the door opening and closing hitting his ears. Only thoughts in his mind were: Good he can watch me die, but the free fall to the pavement didn't happen. He felt two strong arms wrap around his small body as he was picked up from the lonely balcony, being pulled back from the edge that he was teetering on. He tried to fight the man off but that only caused for the two of them to fall back on to the floor.
"Fuck…. Red," the other man muttered softly as the fell back to the floor, his voice tinged with a familiar Ohioan accent, making a smile cross the small Puerto Rican's face. Red glanced down at the arms around him and saw the small tattoo that he had witnessed become a reality weeks ago and he felt safe.
The smaller man rolled around in the arms, looking up to see that his own gaze was met with the familiar hazel gaze that belonged to Sami. A smiled crossed his face as the tears welled up in his face, leaving him to bury his face into Sami's chest. He finally was able to sob graciously into the man's arms and the thoughts of being alone were gone for his own personal hero had come to save him.
