It was hard for Hope to explain what had happened to him and it was even tougher to relive. He didn't know what he did to deserve that what he did wrong with fate or karma but it had happened. When he felt Alex run his hand down his back he softly said more details so that he could be done with it. "He was drunk.. after he used and broke me or how I thought back then.... He made me go another round." Hope said softly as he was told that it wasn't his fault that it was Rexus'. Alex claimed that Rex better not cross his path and something inside jumped out of his skin making Hope sit up and the bed and cling himself against Alex, almost too tightly. "NO NO NO NO! I CAN'T LET YOU ANYWHERE NEAR HIM! NO PLEASE I CAN'T LOSE YOU OR LET HIM HURT YOU!"<br/><br/>Hope started bawling and pushing his face into Alex's chest until he knew that Alex would never go looking for Rexus because of the things that he would do to him. "Alex promise me you won't go looking for him. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you because of me." Hope snapped out of his shocked frightened state when he heard Alex ask if he liked the idea of being his. "Yes, I do. It makes me feel wanted. Cared for." He shook his head when he was asked if he hated the idea of being someone's property. "Just because I am yours doesn't mean I am your property. I choose to be with you Alex. To be in your bed every night. To want a kiss from you. I long and crave for everything you give me. I need you Alex. I can't look at myself without you. That is why I want to be yours."<br/><br/>After the adrenaline and his heart rate went down he was actually feeling much much better. Hope had always wondered how his mother was even able to get buried. It cost a lot of money, money he didn't have yet it was taken care of by some anonymous person. Hope nodded when he was told not to feel bad about not being able to see his mother, that it must have been hard for him not to living on the streets and what not. "She was all I had and when I had to do it all on my own I was lost. I didn't have much time for anything." Hope smiled brightly when he felt the kiss on his forehead, Alex must have already known that was the one thing to light up Hope's world. "It will never end Alex. You act like one day I am going to wake up and not want you. Alex. I want to keep you."<br/><br/>Hope said cutely as he nuzzled him as he was hugged. Hope rolled on top of Alex and wrapped his arms around him as he was asked about the bed and his smell. He took a deep whiff of Alex's chest and sighed. "You smell like sunshine. As if you have absorbed it into your skin and it just radiates off of you. And mixed with of course Old Spice." Hope moved out of bed when Alex did and claimed that they would go get flowers for his mother grave. "How do you know the cemetery she is buried in?" He asked as he said he loved the specific graveyard and spot she was buried in.<br/><br/>Hope took hold of Alex's hand as his mind started to wonder if Alex had even seen his mother's grave. Which he thought was a curious thing. That he would go and visit his mother. He walked into the car with Alex as Jamie opened it up for them making Hope grin. "Thanks Jamie." Making him give Hope a firm nod and claim it was his pleasure. Hope had a hold of Alex's hand the entire car ride, not subconsciously knowing. When they picked up their flowers. Which happened to be pink and purple roses, a gorgeous arrangement. Hope looked down at their hands already tied with one another. He brushed his thumb against Alex's outer palm and nodded as he was asked if he was ready.<br/><br/>The door opened and revealed the most prettiest graveyard he had ever seen. It was open, bright. Not a tree in sight and the immaculate green grass. There was a pond, and flowers everywhere. He didn't notice the grave marker at first, he noticed a bench in his mother's name. It was just over sitting the pond looking out at the water. Her gravestone was somewhat next to the bench and it was a remarkable black marble marker, with grayish silver lettering. 'Helen Maddox; Dedicated and Loving Mother. "Never deprive someone of Hope; it might be all they have." It was something that instantly brought him to tears. "Its so beautiful, and it so perfect. I don't know how this was even possible." Little did he know that the graveyard was being monitored by a familiar figure and was already alerted that after all this time of his mother passing he finally found him. Rexus sent one of his men to go pick up Hope and finally get his prize as he watched the camera feed.
