Hope felt a surge of emotions, all different and equally confusing. Ever since he had been with Alex he couldn't help believe that he could never hurt him. That he cared about him that much that he was different from all the other people. When Alex rejected him he couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart. The one person he felt like he could trust entirely. Hope didn't have anyone he could do that with since he left with his mother. All he knew is that his mother would tell him that this is the one that she knew he would find. The one person to care for him, that would look after him like she did. Hope felt the connection, the pull that brought them two together.<br/><br/>As Hope sat on the floor he remembered some things that his mother had told him, what to look out for. Alex was all of the things that she had told that the guy of his dreams would be. All he was trying to do was follow his mother wise words. Hope slightly teared up as he started running down his cheeks. It wasn't until he heard a knock at the door. He couldn't open his eyes and look at Alex in his current state, he hated when he had cried. It was something he had done an extensive amount growing up. All his past troubles and what not. Hope gasped and let out a very soft moan as his eyes flashed open only to see Alex kissing him as he earlier requested.<br/><br/>He had felt his soft lips against his and he wanted to see for himself if he was just imagining things. Hope wrapped his arms around Alex's neck so he could gently play with the back of his hair as the kiss prolonged. When Alex pulled away he pulled back his arms. "I just don't want to get hurt and when there is any chance of me getting hurt I just get all closed off. It's been like that since Rex.." Little did he knew that Alex knew all about the man knew as Rexus Anderson. The man that raped him and took advantage of his mother.<br/><br/>Hope had started shaking a little at the mention of that name until he felt Alex push his hair back calmly. Alex claimed he didn't want anyone but him, but he needed to be taught how to. Hope crawled into Alex's lap and tucked his head under Alex's chin. "I can't think of anywhere else that I would want to be other than with you." He softly said as he tried getting his shaking under control. A full hour had passed in the blink of an eye and the IV bag was halfway done. "Alex, I'm sorry I didn't mean to walk away I-I-I just." He thought that he needed to explain what happened to him before being homeless. Hope was just concerned that Alex would look at him entirely different.
