Alex nodded to the directions. He wasn't going to bicker about the request not to go near his father. He did not want to at all and honestly he was quite thankful that Andreas had the thought to cover the corpse.<br/><br/>Once the other man either turned his back or left the room, Alex got to work getting dressed and packing up some clothes by picking up everything that was spilled and simply shoving it back into the suitcase. He snagged the small pink radio that was playing music, a few of his favorite books, his favorite hairbrush and three stuffed animals. They weren't big by any means, just small cute and strange things. One was a skeletal cat, one was a white unicorn with a silver horn and blue mane, and the other was an rainbow octopus. Did they make any sense? No, but that didn't stop him from wanting them.<br/><br/><br/>~~<br/><br/>Alex waited by the pool with his suitcase resting against his leg. He sat on a bench watching the blue light in the pool swirl and wave in the water. He was wearing a lose black jacket and a soft purple long sleeved shirt with black skinny jeans and a pair of blue sneakers. His hair was still a mess and his face was puffy from the belt and the crying, but he was eager to get out of the house, out of the state, just out. Was he truly free?
